The dance with Pluto continues as it ping-pongs between Aquarius and Capricorn.   Last year Pluto was in Aquarius between March 23 and June 11^th, and it spent the rest of 2023 in Capricorn.   This year on January 20, Pluto re-entered Aquarius.

 

Now it turns retrograde on May 2 and will back track over any new ground it covered since January.  It will go from 2 degrees 06 until on September 3 it moves back into Capricorn.   Once in Capricorn it will tie up any lose ends on the journey it started in 2008.   Then on October 11 it will turn direct and finally on November 19 it will return to Aquarius where it will be for the next twenty years.   We have gotten a taste of our future.  The chip in the brain that was announced in January, the battle with TikTok, the fear of AI and always the UFOs.   It’s all a tiny appetizer.  Once the retrograde starts we will ponder a lot about where our world is heading.  New versus old then old versus new, there is so much to contemplate in the Aquarius versus Capricorn landscape.  However, never lose sight that Saturn is the original ruling planet of both Capricorn and Aquarius.   So somewhere in all the mess, is Saturn and his divine timing.   

 

As always we are well served to watch all the aspects of planets with Pluto this cycle.   

 

4/21 : Sun square Pluto 2 Aquarius 05.  The first square between the Sun in Taurus.   How is the rigidity and stability of Taurus in need of new novelty, ingenuity and how does it connect to the groups in our life? 

 

4/30 : Venus square Pluto 2 Aquarius 06.  Love that feels dead may need to be booted or re-booted.  Rebirth of Love. 

 

5/3 : Mars sextile Pluto.  Actions for self are motivated by input from groups and friends.   Power to get up and do is strong.   

For those folks with any planet Zero to 2 of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius ---well, you are feeling Pluto no doubt.    That feeling of loss is potent.   Not sure what to do or where to go, the answer is let go.   Some stuff needs to shed starting with any foolish thought that we are in control of another human and most situations.   When in doubt tap intuition.
