It is very unfortunate that the schools of astrological thought are divided into either Vedic or Western. Most practitioners of Vedic astrology are adamant about disregarding Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in their calculations. The perception is that these planets are very far away and stay for longer spans of time in a zodiac sign and hence their impact would be on the entire generation and not on individuals.

But I have numerous evidences to prove that this is a big fallacy. The horoscopes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan (all the three Superstars are incidentally born in 1965) cannot be explained without including Pluto. Besides the Khans, I have a few hundreds of horoscopes to prove this. To make it interesting, I gave the birth details of one of these three superstars to 10 different Vedic astrologers and asked them their opinion about that particular horoscope. Interestingly, none of the astrologers were unable to determine the greatest echelons of fame that this superstar has scaled. The horoscopes of these three superstars couldn’t be explained by these astrologers because of not including Pluto in their analysis. It is very sad that these astrologers ignore the most powerful planet in the universe - Pluto, which is even more powerful than Jupiter or Saturn.

Pluto is the natural ruler of the zodiac sign Scorpio. In Greek mythology, Pluto is known as the lord of the underworld. Pluto symbolizes everything that is related to the dark, the mysteries and unusual experiences of life. Pluto also signifies rising from the ashes, regeneration and reincarnation. People who have Pluto strong in their horoscopes go through some extraordinary experiences in their life time. It could be related to anything, but the experiences are truly transformational and nothing short of a metamorphosis. Every person with Pluto exalted would go through some extreme experiences which would leave normal souls flabbergasted, but the Pluto individuals learn to live with these extreme karmas and manifestations of life with a smile.

The scale of the transformation of a person’s life depends on the exaltation point of the Pluto. All planets have one exaltation point…for eg: Saturn gets exalted in 26 degrees Libra, Sun is exalted in 10’ Aries. But Pluto has 2 exaltation points….10 degrees and 24 degrees. At 10 degrees, I would call it as the negative Pluto. In 24’ it is the positive Pluto. People with Pluto negatively exalted would go through extreme sufferings in life. They may be blessed with affluence but may not be able to enjoy them as they go through the karmic experiences of Pluto. These people can also become victims of their own deeds or fall from the highest grace. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Sharon Stone, Sanjay Dutt, Phoolan Devi, Raghuvaran, Rohit Khosla, Rabri Devi, Uma Bharati, Neena Gupta, Maradona, Shakti Kapoor, Lucky Ali, Ashok Chavan, Magic Johnson, Tiger Memon, Osama Bin Laden, David Headley etc are people with strong negative Pluto in their horoscopes.

On the other hand people with a positive Pluto start life with pain or disappointments but go on to achieve the highest echelons of fame and fortune in life. They would also leave an everlasting legacy with their indelible mark etched in the sands of time. But Pluto does have an impact on them in the early phases of their lives, where they fight excruciatingly painful odds in life. Later they rise like a phoenix to achieve the highest glory of life. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Nita Ambani, Brat Pitt, Arjuna Ranatunga, Steve Waugh, Russel Crowe, Keanu Reaves, Farah Khan, J.K Rowling, Gautam Singhania, Sunita Williams, Wasim Akram, A.R Rehman, Madhuri Dixit, Akshay Kumar etc are examples of the positive Pluto.

In short, it would be a grave mistake not to include Pluto while drawing up a horoscope. So…where is Pluto placed in your horoscope???
