Let’s explore some of the common traits, relational patterns, and personal path challenges of this generation composed mainly of baby boomers.

This cold planet from deep outer space is always fascinating to me. Its shadowy presence is obviously noticeable in a person’s natal chart.

As a Pluto in Scorpio astrologer, raised by Pluto in Leo parents, I’ve literally lived with this energy for most of my life!

Pluto in Astrology: A Brief Overview

Pluto represents the material we carry in our subconscious mind. It is associated with past lives by many astrologers.

I personally prefer to give you a few more options: call it DNA, ancestral memories, or karmic heritage: your pick.

What matters is that Pluto is connected to your soul’s history down to its very origin.

This distant planet works slowly, precisely, and profoundly, with the mission to make subconscious stuff conscious and help us feel empowered and vitalized as a result.

Pluto aims to make us aware of our blind spots. Wherever Pluto lies in your chart, represents the area (house) where the most profound alchemy is happening for you.

It feels like this part of your life is in a constant death and rebirth process. The same is true for any planets that are in contact with Pluto in your chart.

Leo: The Eternal Summer

As the fixed fire sign of the Zodiac, Leo is connected to the peak of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Leo is solar light and summer heat. A joyous embodiment of good times. Basking in full belly laughter and playful spontaneity.

Leo is the phase of life that happens around our 20s: we try on all sorts of hats until we find our unique roar. Leo’s expressiveness is akin to the Sun’s light. Humans are naturally drawn to its life-giving energy.

The Sun, ruler of Leo, consistently brings earthlings warmth and light. Leo is the sunshine, and thus, it is susceptible to and aware of people’s attention. And Leo may or may not like this attention, as we will see.

Pluto in Leo: The Glorious Generation

This group of people was born either during WWII or immediately after it ended.

They came from a wide range of intense emotions to bring summer back to humanity. They are excited to live and be all sorts of superstars. It’s their nature

Pluto in Leo people can have a generous heart, shining inspiration, joy, encouragement, and passion around them. They can also be protective of their family, as they may feel a strong sense of loyalty to their kin.

Bright lights cast large shadows though. Leo’s fire can be overwhelming when his/her ego is not healthy. We can see immaturity, arrogance, narcissism, and authoritarianism as unconscious behaviors of this generation.

Pluto in Leo: The Relationships Arena

Pluto in Leo people enjoy doing whatever makes them feel alive and have fun. They are naturally drawn to spontaneous playfulness. Age is nothing but a number to them, and they feel good in social contexts where they get to remember the best times of their life.

This generation cares for their lineage and commits to their families whether out of pride, tradition, or pure love. They are, in general, happy to nurture a family and maintain lifelong relationships with their families and their friends.

Pluto, as an evolutionary catalyst, invites this generation to heal a wound around their heart. The wound can be associated with allowing their innate playful personality to shine.

This can sometimes mean that Pluto in Leo people are self-centered, building up strong egos as a way to shield their wounds from being touched and seen.

As a result, they can show up with an arrogantly confrontational attitude when facing conflict with one another.

In order to have long-lasting, meaningful, and peaceful relationships, Pluto in Leo people must become aware of the ways their wounds are acting out subconsciously.

The subconscious mind is tricky. It moves threads around us without our full awareness. These hidden motivations lead us toward specific situations and people.

Only by acknowledging what their hearts truly feel, and slowly becoming aware of the experiences that created their fears, can they understand why they try so hard to protect their egos and hide behind external showoffs that say “I’m doing great”.

This will allow them to be able to shift into a truly fun and light-hearted way of relating.

Compatibility: Interactions of Pluto in Leo with Other Signs

The Pluto in Leo generation is one of the oldest alive. They got to share the Earth with people who have Pluto in Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn, besides the newly born Pluto in Aquarius babies.

To the surrounding generations, Pluto in Leo people seem to always go big. They look impressive. They love having fun, can be inspiring at times, and are a little too concerned about their image at other times.

Pluto in Leo people may care about their family’s success and recognition. They may take pride in the success earned by Capricornian family members, and enjoy the adaptable and social nature of their Pluto in Libra descendants.

As a fire sign, Leo will in general get along better with either air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) or other fire signs (Aries, Sagittarius), as they might be frivolous enough to just fool around and have fun, leaving “grown-up” stuff aside for a bit.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) might not quite get that, as it makes no practical sense.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) may find it difficult sometimes to connect to Leo’s sunshine because water signs seek to deepen relationships through intimate heart sharing.

As a Pluto in Scorpio, I feel like it is noticeably less natural for my Pluto in Leo parent to share feelings than for me and my watery Scorpio generation peeps.

In order to ease these differences, Pluto in Leo people must remember to stay close to their hearts. Leo is associated with the heart in our body. The Pluto in Leo potential is to be heart-centered.

In order to get there, they must be willing to shed many layers of ego attachments and show up hand in hand with their inner child in the context of relationships.

This way, they will connect to their playful nature from a warm space, and others will feel safer opening up to them.

Pluto in Leo’s Role in the World

This generation brought with them remarkable artists, and important people in power that are still active in 2023.

Whether it has been teaching, writing, acting, singing, speaking, leading, or influencing, this generation has found a way to express their inspirational power to encourage the next generations to live big and find their passion.

Pluto in Leo desires fame. This can be a covert desire for sure, a wish that stays as a dream for a lifetime, building up jealousies within.

Even though it sometimes can be too much to handle, Leo’s heartlight is meant to be shared, just like sunlight. The Sun doesn’t worry about being too much for us. So I hope you no longer worry about your brightness!

Pluto in Leo’s Evolutionary Path

Pluto represents what we must become aware of in order to be liberated from unconscious repetitive patterns. These patterns can be emotionally intense. The Pluto in Leo journey of growth is about finding the freedom to be authentically joyful.

Ego is neither good nor bad, its function in our psyche is to give us an identity we can wear.

The level of attachment we have to our egos speaks of our inner sense of security.

If Pluto in Leo feels the need to validate their creative power through external approval, they may feel that they are never truly recognized or seen, which can come with an eternal sense of not being enough, and hyper-correcting with bursts of boastful self-expression.

But if they let go of the applause, and turn to their inner child, things shift entirely.

When the Pluto in Leo generation dives into inner child healing, their creativity can expand as they liberate themselves from expectations and allow their unique shine to explode.
