Pluto
Finality - Transition - Distance - Separation
Pluto signifies an end. Symbolic of both the final destination in our solar system and of the ruler of the underworld, Pluto conjures cold, dark, and mysterious images. Though he was not an evil god, Pluto was feared by the living, who were reluctant to even say his name aloud for fear he would bring them to their doom. At the end of a long journey down the river Styx, a soul was welcomed into the underworld, Pluto’s domain, for the rest of eternity.
In a reading, this card is about finality, the unknown, and transition. It may symbolize distance and separation, but not necessarily an uncomfortable version of these terms.
Reversed, the card may speak to misunderstanding, dark thoughts and the void, as well as rumors, speculation and poor reputation without justification.
