Pluto moves into Aquarius

Pluto will move from Capricorn into Aquarius on Tuesday 19th November 2024 and stay there for 20 years, but what does this actually mean and how will it effect you?

Pluto's transit into Aquarius is considered a significant astrological event as it could lead new waves of societal change. It also represents a time of 'death and rebirth' with the death of ego and the birth of soul patterns. Pluto last moved through Aquarius between 1778 and 1798 and this 20 year period was exceptionally important due to historical events that occurred in that time. These include The American Revolutionary War, The French Revolution, The Irish Uprising and the discovery of Uranus. As Pluto takes 248 years to orbit the Sun, and move through the zodiac, this transit is a once in a lifetime event.

This transit will affect each zodiac in different ways (check both your Sun and Ascendant sign):

Aries (21st March- 19th April):

This transit will impact you on a community level, Aries. You will begin to invest more into refining your identity, separating yourself from others without forcing yourself into isolation. You may feel a desire to fine tune personal interests which will drive you to explore creative classes both in person and online. Usually a lone wolf, you will find yourself gravitating to being a member of the pack especially where your personal hopes and aspirations are concerned. Understanding that we are all connected will give you opportunities for teamwork, putting you in the mood to lift up and be lifted up by your peers. The relationships with your neighbours will become more intimate as lives unfurl in the next 20 years. Smooth out any tensions or rifts before they become too contentious and be open to opportunities in revitalising your environment.

Taurus (20th April- 20th May):

Taurus, prepare for fundamental change as this transit activates the part of your chart that governs success, authority and boundaries. Giants of your industry may fall, dynamics will shift forcing you to seize control of your own circumstances at a core level. Karmic lessons will pop up, nudging you to transform your professional and public life. Staying in your current profession will be key to thriving under this planetary placement with new software, robotics and engineering will emerge. This will allow you to showcase your eagerness to learn new techniques, gaining favour of your superiors. On a personal level, your desire to be visible online may diminish allowing you to grow into a more private person. Composure and refinement will appeal to you above all else, leaving you less inclined to share details of your life.

Gemini (21st May- 20th June):

The philosophical part of your chart will be activated during this transit Gemini, making important life lessons manifest for you. Growth in compassion will see you sharing your ideas and life experience with the younger generation but be careful not to assume you know better. Everyone's road unwinds differently. Whilst you will come out of this transit with a sage like experience, you can expect to encounter plenty of sticky situations and mistakes on your part. Don't panic. This is to help your soul evolve but remember, things have to break to be rebuilt. Stay honest with yourself as the tide ebbs and flows between positive and negative, knowing this is what you need to evolve on a deeper level. The Universe will rally to help you overcome dark moments, helping you emerge like a phoenix from the ashes. A stronger bond with your ancestors will make you consider a new way of thinking with you embarking on different mystical phases over the next 20 years.

Cancer (21st June- 22nd July):

You are speeding through this transit towards transformation, renewal and evolution, Cancer. People may find it hard to keep up with you as you feel inspired to step into roles you've been dreaming of. Lean into your dreamy ambitions in the years to come. This transit will also call for you to tear down certain beliefs regarding relationships and behaviours in order to make space for the new. You will feel less forgiving of those who have wronged you and are ready to cut ties. Commitment will be a recurring theme through this time and will force you to review intimate bonds and whether they can stand the test of time. Business investments could also prove lucrative although you will want to focus on companies that have an ethical approach.

Leo (23rd July- 22nd August):

Pluto's shift will make you focus on love and companionship, Leo. Romantic connections will feel more desirable and important to you however you will also cherish your friendships allowing you to maintain a happy existence. You will gravitate to those whose values and beliefs align with yours whilst also dedicating time to self love and self care. Past relationship mistakes will be left behind and you will choose relaxation and peace over conflict and jealousy. Your psychic ability could also be unlocked during this time, helping you anticipate the moods and habits of those closest to you. For those of you that are no longer happy in a relationship, Pluto's shift could initiate a break up which will allow you to step into that self discovery and self love.

Virgo (23rd August- 22nd September):

A strong urge to help others will be your theme over the next 2 decades, Virgo. These vibes will release the natural fixer in you, allowing you to see errors and bad behaviours with clarity. Be careful not to spread yourself to thin or allow yourself to be taken advantage of as this could bring on major upheavals. You will also focus on health, saying goodbye to bad habits, unhealthy sleep cycles and less than perfect diets. Health apps can help you get this aspect of your life on track. This time may also be a good time to think about changing careers as the world evolves. As technology advances, human jobs will be lost so it would be wise to take initiative if you work in those trades at risk. Taking charge in team dynamics will also play a key role in career advancement.

Libra (23rd September- 22nd October):

You will find yourself in a unique position to empower and refine yourself, Libra. This may be through art or something creative, letting you devote your time nurturing hobbies and interests. Your personal brand will flow freely and you will become more comfortable releasing inhibitions. Do not be afraid to move away from old hang ups and embrace the evolution of modern society. If you are thinking of starting a family, this is a great time to discuss creating life with your partner. If you already have a family, this transit will usher in a new era as they grow up and leave home, giving you more freedom. If you are more career orientated, give yourself permission to bow out of parenthood and ignore the whispers from anyone who is forcing their beliefs on you. Family is what you make it. Blood relations or family by choice, do what works best for you and not what society expects of you.

Scorpio (23rd October- 21st November):

Give yourself plenty of room for emotional growth, Scorpio. This transit will illuminate traits you have received from you ancestors and will allow you to figure out if they are healthy or not. It may be wise to seek a therapist or professional who can help you work through this. Breaking toxic cycles can be difficult so having someone who can assist in untangling these webs will be beneficial. Finding out more about your ancestry will urge you through these next 2 decades and the desire to understand your roots will come into play. Building a home will feel a primal instinct and you will find joy in picking household items that are energy efficient, affordable and environmentally friendly. Connecting to your home life and ancestry will empower you and give you a sense of how you want to leave your mark on this Earth. Be mindful of whom and what you nurture, understanding that your thoughts and actions will build up over time.

Sagittarius (22nd November- 21st December):

You will begin to notice a shift in the way you speak, think and learn, Sagittarius. Whilst you are capable of conversing complex ideas and views, it may be best to return to a simpler way of communicating. If you are prone to going off on a tangent, find ways to ground yourself and find clarity as you interact with others. You are thought of as one of the more advanced and intellectual members of the zodiac but trouble can arise for you if you fail to acknowledge when you are wrong. The way you socialise may also change, with a desire to reconnect with childhood friends at the forefront. Utilising social media will be good for this, but be wary to not bad mouth anyone on your feed and keep a cool head. It is time to bury competitive behaviours and think before you speak and act.

Capricorn (22nd December- 19th January):

Major changes to your finances are coming, Capricorn. This transit will see you amass wealth, jump tax brackets, expand credit and gain security. Firstly you will need to handle any lingering debt as the Universe will want those anchors free to welcome in new abundance. The next 20 years will be a great time to think about saving for retirement and you will begin to understand money better. It is important to resist burying yourself in materialistic goals, taking time to slow down and appreciate what is around you. Whilst this transit focuses on financial gains, be wary to not fall into the greed trap. Embracing nature, art and the human experience will help you stay in the right lane. You will also find yourself feeling deeply connected to the past and may start a new antique collection or crystals. Saving up for higher quality items will give you the freedom to spend when it is appropriate. These vibes are also perfect for purging your space of unwanted items and you will consider donating these to a charity or thrift shop.

Aquarius (20th January- 18th February):

Aquarius. You will feel this shift more than anyone as Pluto journeys through your sign. Intense waves will hit as the stars work overtime to help you gain status, popularity and empowerment. You are in a unique position to totally elevate your life but be mindful that it might not be an easy road. Themes around the death of ego are strong and you will need to accept when it is time to move on. Determination and drive will give you the ability to cut through the masses and your dreams will manifest slowly but steadily. Karma will be very active and will not hesitate to punish those who are unkind. An obsessive element will come into play and you will need to keep an eye on where you direct your energy and focus. Listen to your family and friends if they begin to express concern over your mental or emotional health, understanding that it is sometimes better to walk away from goals that are not panning out so you can make way for new ones.

Pisces (19th February- 20th March):

Major epiphanies are heading you way, Pisces, as this transit governs the self reflection sector of your chart. This will force you to take an honest look at yourself, understanding how certain actions or choices led you to where you are today. Take care to pinpoint both strengths and weaknesses which will allow you to break free from toxic patterns. It is a great time to sharpen your logic and problem solving skills through puzzles, reading or learning a new skill. Feeling strong in your mind will help prepare you for any challenges that arise. The stars will also require that you acknowledge and face what you have hidden from and you will realise that even deep seated fears are not always so scary. New connections can help you build your empire and force major breakthroughs in your life's path. A desire to achieve your goals will manifest once you have put in the time and energy to perfect your work.
