Pluto: what it means in the chart

It shows where you symbolically die and are reborn: what you have already lost and rebuilt, and the area where you can't live by halves.

Leo

Leo is the courage to show up as yourself, knowing it may not please. It's the sign of what is made to be seen: the drawing, the stage, the cake baked with care for a table of six. People with it strong need their expression to find someone, and that isn't vanity: it's how this sign confirms that it exists.
