PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

PLUTO is the planet of transformation, and Aquarius is the sign of progress. Pluto transiting through Aquarius means our lives will be transformed.

When we say Pluto is the sign of transformation, we mean serious transformation. Not a simple change in how we look or who we hang out with, but a significant shift in our souls. 

Pluto is the planet of death, but also of rebirth. Pluto is all about shedding our old identities and releasing perspectives that no longer serve us, to make space for something better. 

And THAT is what makes Aquarius Pluto so massively important: Aquarius and Pluto are both about regeneration, and their combined energies have incredible power to advance humanity on a global scale.

Worldwide changes in science, technology, and space travel would not be surprising to see while Pluto is in Aquarius, but, more importantly, we will see profound shifts in civil rights and humanitarianism. 

The most powerful people will be those who work together and who value the lives, feelings, and experiences of others. Governments and systems that have worked against each other in the past can find common ground during this transit to forge new alliances for the future.

In our personal lives, Pluto in Aquarius urges us to transform our view of ourselves and our place in this world. 

It is natural to think of what is best for ourselves and what will help us most in the future, but what if it was our first, natural instinct to think of what is best for others and what will help us all most in the future? 

This is the change that Pluto in Aquarius wants to see in us … will we answer the call?

Pluto was in Capricorn from 2008 until 2023, during which time the world saw dramatic dismantling and rebuilding of long-established corporate, financial and political structures. It was the time of the Arab Spring, the Global Banking Crisis and the dissolution and restructuring of traditional political parties.

The last time Pluto passed through Aquarius was from 1777 to 1797, a period that witnessed both the French and American revolutions. Pluto in this systems-minded air sign will transform our understanding of the power of the collective. This time Pluto will be dancing in and out of Aquarius from 2023 until 2044, as it shifts from direct to retrograde and back again. 

When heavy Pluto makes a U-turn in the sky, he focuses his transformative energy not on the world at large, but on us as individuals. We are forced to look at the shadowy parts of ourselves that we may like to keep secret. 

In the sign of Aquarius, Pluto Retrograde makes us consider our intentions behind our actions: Are we truly acting in others' best interests, or are we only serving ourselves? Do we really feel like part of humanity, or do we feel superior others? Do we listen to the needs of others, or think we already know what is best?

Pluto in Aquarius is ushering in a new chapter for society over the upcoming decades, and it is important to remember that this is the first time that Pluto has been in Aquarius for all of us. There are many expectations for Pluto in Aquarius. Some people expect the final decline and destruction of our culture. But worshipers of Antinous are full of hope for the final dawning Aquarian age in which harmony and love dominate.
