Pluto Retrograde May 2-October 11 2024
Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, will be in retrograde from 2024-05-02 to 2024-10-11. This is a time to reflect on our lives and make changes that are in alignment with our true purpose.
How Does Pluto in Retrograde Affect Us?
Pluto retrograde can be a time of intense emotional and psychological upheaval. We may feel the need to confront our shadow side and make changes in our lives that are long overdue. Pluto is an outer planet so this is something that is more of a slow burn than a fast explosion of energy, it allows us to adjust to the lessons and come to terms with the things that need to be changed. This is the final time Pluto will retrograde back into the sign of Capricorn before it fully settles in to the sign of Aquarius for the next 20 years. Because it is wrapping up themes of Capricorn energy you may notice shifts in those themes in your life or even in the collective at large. It will be wrapping up the Patriarchy energy that has long been overbearing to so many people in today’s society ending the ‘structure’ that once was and really moving forward to the best for all when in Aquarius. The Capricorn part of the retrograde won't be until September 1st. Prior to that it’ll be additional Aquarian energy that is happening so stay open, don’t get bogged down in trying to hold on to things that are exiting because it will be in your best interest in the end. This is not a scary energy but a helpful one.
