Astro Daily: November 19, 2024

Pluto returns to Aquarius, a sign that it first entered on March 25, 2023 and again on January 20, 2024. We’re in a shift of eras. And Pluto is beginning a 20-year transformation of Aquarius — community and society, systems and networks, science and technology.

If astrology is the measure of time, particularly symbolic and metaphoric time, then to look at the zodiac is to see a great clock. Each planet and its position in the sky becomes a hand on this great clock. Some hands move quickly, such as the Moon. Some hands move steadily with each day, such as the Sun. Some hands move very slowly. Saturn takes 29 years to trace a path around the zodiac. Pluto takes 248 years.

As you can imagine, it takes Pluto a very long time to traverse each zodiac sign. Back in January 2008, Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn, where it has remained, by and large, ever since. Until today.

A 16-year chapter has come to a close as Pluto leaves Capricorn for Aquarius today. Its hand on the great clock now marks a new hour.

As the planet of deep evolution, it means that Pluto will focus its energies on Aquarius for the next 20 years. We will see systems and networks transform. So will social systems. There will be a major shift in technology. New ideologies will emerge that remake our world.

Aquarius represents a key area of our lives, based on our Sun and rising sign as well as the specificities of our own natal astrology. Whatever that area is will see undeniable change over the next two decades. Read Pluto in Aquarius: Sign by Sign to learn more about what area that is.
