🔮 2. Astrological meaning — losing Pluto and Mars
If you look symbolically, the “removal” or “demotion” of Pluto can feel like an attempt to deny shadow and transformation — Pluto rules:
Death, rebirth, and power
The subconscious, secrets, and evolution
When Pluto was demoted, many astrologers saw it as reflecting a collective discomfort with those things — an age that avoids darkness, death, and regeneration.
To “take Pluto away” symbolically could mean trying to ignore transformation and the underworld — to live only on the surface.
Mars, traditionally the planet of:
Passion, war, drive, courage, sexuality —
represents raw willpower and survival energy.
If someone “takes Mars away,” symbolically, it could mean:
Suppressing assertiveness or anger
Losing primal instinct and direction
Substituting action with overthinking
In both cases, the removal of Mars and Pluto points to a world that’s uneasy with passion and depth — that prefers control, safety, and intellect over the chaos of true transformation.
🕊️ 3. Mythic or spiritual symbolism
In mythology, both planets carry underworld energy:
Mars (Ares): warrior, action, blood, life-force
Pluto (Hades): death, shadow, the unseen realms
To “take them away” could symbolize:
Erasing the uncomfortable truths about mortality and desire
A society that fears both death and passion
A collective move toward sterilization — taming chaos, forgetting how necessary it is
But mythically, those forces always return.
You can’t remove the underworld; you can only forget it for a while until it rises again — in dreams, art, upheaval, or rebirth.
