Painting Planets Series: Pluto

Pluto, our farthest planet from the sun, is also our smallest, being 1/6 the mass of our moon and only half as wide as the United States. It’s rotation period is 6.4 Earth days with a whopping 248 year orbit around the sun. Pluto has 5 moons, one of them being Charon, which is half the size of the planet itself. In 2006 Pluto was reclassified as a “dwarf planet”, but I still felt the need to recognize this underdog of our solar system.

Pluto is the great revealer in Astrology representing the underworld, subconscious forces, and renewal/rebirth. Its influence in creative destruction is a kind of wrecking ball; releasing buried power or truths.
