Hero and Wanderer: A Reappraisal of Pluto’s Astrological Significance

The events of the twenty-five years surrounding Pluto’s discovery in 1930-such as Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the explosive beginning of the Atomic Age-cemented in many astrologers’ minds the significance of this distant celestial body. However, as this original and insightful new book reveals, the common astrological wisdom regarding Pluto barely scratches the surface of what this planet’s motion through the Zodiac can tell us. Taking a fresh look at Pluto’s connection to events and people from 1945 to the present, Jim Trader’s thorough research and careful analysis has uncovered several new and fascinating dimensions to Pluto’s sphere of astrological influence. By casting new light on Pluto’s natal and transiting meaning for the individual, its significance as a ‘generational’ planet, and the mythology behind the planet’s name, “Hero & Wanderer” provides unique and timely insights into our Hero’s Journey.
