This page is about all Pluto-Sun aspects, like Pluto Conjunct Sun, Pluto Opposite Sun, Pluto Trine Sun, Pluto Square Sun, Pluto Sextile Sun, Pluto Inconjunct Sun. Hard aspects like conjunctions, squares, and oppositions tend to be more difficult than soft aspects like trines or sextiles. The closer the orb, the more intense the aspect.
We have a page about Pluto. I also highly recommend Jeffrey Wolf Green’s two Pluto books.

About the Pluto Evolutionary Journey
In Evolutionary Astrology, natal Pluto represents our Soul’s desires and evolutionary intentions. Evolution occurs by playing out our desires until we exhaust them. Our intention includes integrating the polarity point (the opposite sign and house on the chart).
The nodes of the Moon are also a huge part of the evolutionary story. The South Node represents our past-life experiences, identity structure, and attachments we need to release. The North Node represents the identity structure that would most serve our evolutionary intention. This is how the nodes and Pluto fit together.
Pluto’s role in our life is in many ways to push or force us to give up our attachments to past ways of being so we can embrace new ways of being. This is not always a process we go through willingly—hence Pluto’s reputation as a harsh teacher. The best approach is to try to cooperate with the evolutionary changes that Pluto brings.
