Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, a checkpoint with a planet whose role is to get us to transform and evolve. Pluto mines our psychological and spiritual depths, revealing what has been hidden, even from ourselves. Through profound insights we make changes.
If astrology is thousands of years old, humans have only known of the existence of the planet Pluto since 1930, only a century compared to generations of astrological wisdom and knowledge. Nevertheless, in the years since its discovery, astrologers have seen how a tiny planet millions of miles away can have a great effect.
Pluto, much like its Greco-Roman mythical origins, deals with the underworld. It speaks to the symbolic process of descent and ascent, from shadows to light, not unlike Persephone descent into the underworld and ascent.
We have times in our lives where it feels like we have been pulled into something. We have an experience that profoundly transforms us, bringing us into an underworld that may be emotional and psychological in nature. There is no going back to who we were before.
Wherever 5 degrees Aquarius is in our astrology — it could be our career sign or a relationship sign or maybe we are an Aquarius — is under a lot of pressure right now. Can we turn shadows into light this week?
Overall, this is a week to begin to see what Pluto in Aquarius means for us. After all, we’re still early in its journey through the sign. Pluto first entered Aquarius in March 2023 and will remain in Aquarius until 2044. Read Pluto in Aquarius: Sign by Sign for a refresh on what part of your life Aquarius governs.
