Pluto is the name for the Greco-Roman god of the underworld. The name is Ancient Greek in origin meaning "wealthy one".

In astronomy Pluto was formerly considered the 9th planet in the solar system. Due to reclassification it is now considered to be a dwarf planet.

In Astrology Pluto represents transformation, hidden motivations, the will, occult knowledge, mysteries of all types, power , destruction, sex, and death. In mundane astrology, the branch of astrology that deals with events of earth that affect humanity, it rules government and politics. It is considered to be the co-ruler of the zodiac sign Scorpio.

The planet Pluto is the alternative name for Hades.the Greek God of the Underworld

The name Pluto was first suggested by Venetia Burney (later Venetia Phair), an eleven-year-old schoolgirl in Oxford, England. Venetia was interested in classical mythology as well as astronomy, and considered the name, one of the alternate names of Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld, appropriate for such a presumably dark and cold world.

She suggested it in a conversation with her grandfather Falconer Madan, a former librarian of Oxford University's Bodleian Library. Madan passed the name to Professor Herbert Hall Turner, who then cabled it to colleagues in America.
