The Outer Planets; Uranus, Neptune and Pluto

The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto don't tell as much about individual personalities as they do about the "mini-generation" of people all born under the same Uranus sign. For this reason, I have not focused on the sign placement of these planet in considering natal personalities and traits.

The Planet URANUS

Uranus transits the zodiac in 84 years, spending about seven years in each of the twelve signs. The characteristics of each of the outer planets are social rather personal, and you are linked to those contemporaries born in the same Uranus time span.

The Planet NEPTUNE

Neptune transits the zodiac in 165 years. Since Neptune requires about fourteen years to pass through each sign, its sign placement plays an insignificant role in the personality makeup. Nonetheless, the sign in which Neptune resides may perhaps denote the depth of imagination, the intuitive faculties, and the mystical leanings of a whole generation of individuals.

PLUTO and other trans-Neptune dwarf planets

Pluto orbits the zodiac in 248 years. The time spent in each sign can varies a great deal because of the planets erratic orbit. Since its stay in the various signs is lengthy and variable, Pluto influences are noticeable only by the mark on a large generation of people. The key word describing Pluto is revolution, and its movement to new sign will mean significant societal changes.

Since Pluto has been down-graded in status from being a planet to being what is now termed a dwarf planet, it is likely that astrologers will being exploring other trans-Neptune or Kuiper belt bodies falling into this category. In time, this research and development should produce a greater understanding of these largely societal influences.
