Pluto transited Capricorn for many years, and it has finished its work in the sign. Pluto is in Aquarius and is there to stay for a couple of decades.
While Pluto is in Aquarius, we take social structures and politics seriously and seek major reform in these areas. Unusual, intense, or dramatic happenings are possible with friends and networks.
During this long-term cycle, we will likely confront issues of control and power related to individuality, equality, friendships, and group associations.
We can be on a quest to distinguish ourselves for our progressiveness, scientific minds, ideals, humanitarianism, or unique qualities. It’s also a time when we seek to change and overhaul society through science, inventions, and the mind/ideas.
Babies born with Pluto in Aquarius will have these themes hard-wired into them!
Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23, 2023, to June 11, 2023, later from January 20, 2024, until September 1, 2024, and again from November 19, 2024, to March 8, 2043, at which point it will weave in and out of Aquarius and Pisces.
Why so many dates? Pluto is very slow-moving, and with retrograde (effective backward) activity, it advances only about 1-3 degrees per year, depending on the sign. While Pluto flirted with Aquarius in 2023 and 2024, it only consistently transited the sign since November 2024. In all, Pluto will spend between 19 and 20 years in Aquarius.
