Essential Dignities

♇︎Dignities of Pluto

No traditional dignity · modern ruler of Scorpio

Pluto's standing in the dignity scheme — beyond the old astrologers' reach, named by modern practice as ruler of Scorpio.

Pluto was unknown to the astrologers who set the dignities, so it has no traditional standing; modern practice gives it Scorpio, where its work of depth, power and transformation runs deepest. Read it as where you meet endings and renewal, rather than a mark of strength or weakness.
