Saturn conjunct Pluto

Saturn and Pluto meet roughly every thirty three to thirty eight years, and the conjunction marks a generation with an austere relationship to power. Joined, they give endurance under conditions other charts would not accept, an instinct for what is structurally rotten, and a willingness to dismantle it. These people are formidable and humorless about anything that matters. The cost is hardness: control becomes the answer to fear, trust is slow, and the body carries the strain. House placement shows where the demolition and rebuilding takes place.
