Pluto in Aquarius
Unless you are hiding under a rock for the past few years, I’d like to start by boldly stating that most of us would have already felt and observed that the world is changing and many things don’t really make much sense anymore.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778-1798. There were major world events like American Revolution, Haitian Revolution, Industrial Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment. It’s about the voice of people, community, rebel, technology advancements.
Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008. The role of Pluto is to demolish down to ground zero then rebuild again like a Rising Phoenix. Pluto is the slowest moving outer planets. It takes about 248 years to go around the zodiac cycle. Hence, the effect of Pluto is felt gradually over the years but extremely transformative. Capricorn’s archetype is logic, structure, organization, discipline, government. This year, Pluto ingresses into Aquarius on 23 March briefly until 11 June. It’ll retrograde back into Capricorn then totally into Aquarius from 20 Nov 2024 for the next 20 years to 2044.
What can you expect in your life for the next 20 years when Pluto is in Aquarius?
I would recommend looking at your Rising sign, followed by Sun then Moon for a more holistic overview.
Aries: Big changes in your social circle, community. Friends might come and go. You could be starting new projects in technology, engage in humanitarian work with a group of acquaintances. The focus is to be your authentic self when you interact with others. If the vibe is not right, move on.
Taurus: As much as you like stability and comfort, life might throw you a curve ball to change your career path. It could also mean you gaining more power in how you project yourself outward. There’s also a possibility of relocation.
Gemini: You would already start to shift your perspective of life recently. Your belief system, faith might go through a total transformation. More foreign travel, taking up a higher qualification might be in the cards. Your usual tendency to try out different things might shift to having a broader perspective of things, through a philosophical lens.
Cancer: Pluto falling in your 8th House drives huge changes. This is probably the most intense and transformational period compared to other signs. Depending on how Pluto interacts with your other natal planets, but you are in for a ride. My advice is to release the need to control things. Just let go and let life happen. Don’t hide or resist. It’ll work out exactly how it should be and in the best interest for you.
Leo: There could be power struggle with your life or business partner. Leverage your gift of generosity and creativity, it works better if you let go of your ego and learn to improvise your relationship.
Virgo: There could be a change in career, daily routine or health. Pluto is asking you to surrender, adapt and let go of the need for perfection.
Libra: You might always be struggling between wanting to shine among your friends and be your true self. Librans have the tendency to overly compromise yourself to fit into the expectation of others. Pluto is now asking you to take back your power in your self expression, creativity. Focus on shining in your own way.
Scorpio: This could be an intense period at home, with family or father. Changing career that leads to a relocation could also be a possibility. Family secrets might be revealed that stirs up your emotions.
Sagittarius: Big shift in your mindset. Circumstances might change that lead you to pay more attention to your local environment, siblings or relatives. As much as you love travelling, you might realize that staying put locally is not a bad idea.
Capricorn: Being a conservative, you might slowly start to embrace technology and new ways of managing your finances. Pluto will try to change to let go of your perspective of climbing the corporate ladder in order to gain more wealth. Your self worth and how you value yourself will change.
Aquarius: This is your era! You are asked to be yourself, let your freak flag fly. Finally, all the weird ideas or ways of thinking that has made you the eccentric one will slowly become more normal and acceptable in others’ eyes.
Pisces: Pluto is entering your 12th House which is your realm. Leverage your nature of allowing things to happen will guide and empower you to embrace any big changes in your psyche and intuition. Pisceans, you will be most comfortable with the changes as we enter the new earth where the unity and oneness will inspire you to lead the others.
