The Transformation
Pluto is described as distant and diminutive and while he may have been downgraded by scientists he's still an important force in astrology, he even has an asteroid (#134340). Pluto was discovered in 1930 and named for the god of the underworld. Pluto orbits in the Kuiper Belt, a rocky and distant part of the solar system. Pluto is the planet we all know the least about which leads to its association with the underworld, transformation and death. When Pluto transits, it brings transformation, destroying the old and beginning anew.
Pluto is The Phoenix, a mythological bird that rises from the ashes, a force that renews after destruction. The phoenix is a symbol of eternal life and well being.
Hades - The Greek Equivalent of Pluto
The Angels of Hades are Uriel and Raphael. Uriel is set over Tartarus; Raphael is prince of Hades. While Raphael is in charge of departed souls, the officiating angel of the newly dead was, at least originally, Uriel.
