Pluto’s Big Move into Aquarius
Well, it’s official—Pluto done packed its bags and left Capricorn this week. After hanging out there since 2008, it’s not coming back for another 27 years.
Now, there’s this astrological notion that when a planet lingers at the end of a sign, things get, shall we say, weird. It’s like the last chapter of a book—wrapping things up, tying loose ends, and maybe throwing in a surprise twist. And when the planet is Pluto, which takes forever to move through a sign, it’s a big deal. Let’s rewind to 2008, the year Pluto sashayed into Capricorn. Remember what happened? Yep, the global financial collapse. Fun times.
Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, is about creating structure and order in the material world—it’s like the responsible but kinda strict parent of the zodiac. Combine that with Pluto’s love for exposing the rot and chaos in our systems, and you get a big ol’ “Let’s tear this down and start over” vibe. Pluto spent its Capricorn years digging up the dirt on our financial systems and material structures, asking, “What’s broken? What’s outdated? What needs a complete overhaul?”
Fast forward to now, it’s November 2024
We’re at the end of Pluto’s Capricorn chapter. It feels heavy, doesn’t it? Like we’re wrapping up a long, exhausting saga. But there’s also relief—like ripping off a Band-Aid. Sure, it stings, but now we can move on. And speaking of moving on, Pluto is settling into Aquarius until 2043. So this gives a perfect moment for some long-term planning for how you envision the rest of your life going….
Pluto in Aquarius: Robots, Revolutions, and the Power of the Collective
Let’s talk about what Pluto in Aquarius means for our future. First off: the robots are coming. AI is everywhere, and let’s be honest, it’s kinda on-the-nose that this tech revolution kicks off with Pluto in the most forward-thinking sign of the zodiac.
The Aquarian embodiment is focused innovation, progress, and thinking way outside the box. Used wisely, AI could be a game-changer. But if it falls into the wrong hands (looking at you, power-hungry elite douche bags), things could get messy.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius (back in the 18th century), the French and American revolutions were shaking things up. Groups of people rose up to challenge the powers that be. History might not repeat itself exactly, but it does tie into themes around civil unrest we see today in both of these countries, as well as others. Today, Pluto in Aquarius could spark new movements centred around collective power and transformation.
Your key takeaway?
Strength lies in solidarity.
Change happens when people come together and demand it. It’s not easy—revolutions are rarely neat or pretty—but history shows us that collective action can move mountains.
The Underworld Journey: Pluto’s Transformative Power
Pluto is the planet of transformation, and its journey always involves some metaphorical (or literal) descent into the underworld. Think of it like this: when we’re forced to confront our darkest corners, we have to shed the baggage we thought gave us power. And as we know, true power doesn’t come from the material world, gaining status or control by means of exploiting someone or something else—it comes from within.
As Pluto rolls through Aquarius, we are being asked to think BIG:
Who’s in your community that is engaged in social reformation projects locally?
How are you collaborating for change?
And most importantly, how are you staying open to new perspectives rather than getting stuck in tunnel vision?
Pluto’s energy can feel intense and isolating, but Aquarius reminds us that we’re stronger when we work together.
So, what does this mean for you?
If you’ve got planets or key points in Aquarius (or near the start of Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio), buckle up. Big changes are ahead, and they’re likely to push you into a transformative journey.
Don’t resist it—embrace it. Pluto’s gift is the ability to strip away what’s unnecessary and reveal what truly matters. And as for the rest of us?
Keep an eye on which trends now start to shape AI, tech, and collective movements. How are you using social media to engage? Are you lost in doomscroll and forced advertising? If you’re gonna spend time online allowing your data to be harvested, better to spend this time proactively sharing your thoughts on what you can do to make the world better for the immediate and long-term future. Unless you are an asshole, a narcissist, or a delusional oligarch. I’m sure there’s others falling short in this mention.
The call to action is clear: find your people, organise, and aim for meaningful, lasting planing and active transformation. Because? …
The future is truly in our hands—and well, maybe the robots.
