We start the week with Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius, a pivot point that has colored our experiences over the last week, continuing to so into this week. Pluto pulls at the deepest parts of ourselves, the hidden and shadow facets in order to reveal the light.
One of the devices I use to explain the work of Pluto (as well as the work of Scorpio and the 8th House) is this: Imagine a life where every day is the same. There is no challenge or conflict. Do you grow? Absolutely not.
Yes, as humans we are risk averse. We want our astrology to tell us only good things. We want our days to be filled with only sunshine. But even astrology teaches us, through the zodiac, that there will be moments when we are tested by life.
Pluto, a newer addition to astrology (it was only discovered in 1930), is an evolutionary planet. Its job is to get us to grow and evolve, sometimes by any means possible. Pluto reveals the soul and the soul’s facets. We are darkness and light. Thus is the duality of creation. But our ultimate work is to put every facet in light.
When we come into contact with Pluto’s energy, we may see the parts of ourselves that are not put into light. Sometimes we reject these parts of ourselves and project them onto others. Or we have the maturity to look at them, accept them, and work to put them into light so they no longer reflect the dark. (Examples: hidden anger and rage, unresolved sufferings, self destructive tendencies that also include keeping oneself small or hidden.)
Another thing to point out is that Pluto is in the early degrees of Aquarius, a sign that it has never been in in our lifetimes. When Pluto first went into Aquarius in March 2023, it commenced a monumental shift in a particular part of our lives depending on where Aquarius is in our astrology. (Not sure where? Read Pluto in Aquarius: Sign by Sign.)
This monumental shift continues. Look for the story arc. It’s present in our experiences, our emotions, and even our internal dialogue over the past few days.
On Wednesday May 7, at 8pm ET, I will be giving a free 1-hour presentation on Energetic Sciences, hosted by Mercia Academy. Energetic Sciences is the study of energy, consciousness, and the Weft, the 6th element and the invisible fabric of reality. I’m often asked by people for practical information on how to navigate their energy and stay grounded while opening up to something higher. At the end of the presentation, we will do a 10-minute meditation that opens up the energy of consciousness. Recorded for replay. Learn more and register.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for May 6, 2025.
