11/19: PLUTO MOVES INTO AQUARIUS.
Wrapping up a 15 year transit through Capricorn, the Dark planet Pluto gears up to disrupt the current trajectory in our Collective Consciousness in preparation of Aquarian desires for liberation.
This week marks a monumental astrological shift as Pluto— following its fifteen-year transit through Capricorn— moves into Aquarius until 2043. The sign of Capricorn is associated with the Devil's caricature. Dark planet Pluto transiting the malefic sign of Capricorn amplified the intensity of this transit due to Saturnian influence to seek discipline and control, and to maintain order. Whereas now, Pluto, the planet of intrinsic transformation, will embark on a new journey through the air sign of Aquarius, known as the Zodiac’s Visionary: bringing with it the prevalence of humanitarian themes like innovation and revolution, which are now anchoring our unconscious collective in reality. According to the Vedic system, the constellation shift occurred nearly five years ago in 2020. Right now marks our embodiment of the Age of Aquarius.
Capricorn rules the 10th of Public Reputation & Career. Pluto’s time transiting this sign has manifested as influencing the collective to lean into Capitalistic values. For instance, when Pluto first entered the sign in 2008, the US [Patriarchy] witnessed an economic meltdown. The Earth elements prioritize practical measures that prompt the collective to employ tangible results. As Pluto leaves Capricorn for the last of our lifetime: we reach a full circle moment that forces us to acknowledge the products of our collective efforts over the last two decades. Aquarius is the 11th House of Friendship & Community which is the sentiment of advice moving forward, on navigating a system that thrives in avoiding vulnerability and true companionship. Living outside of your own body as if an omnipresent Narrator places self-perception and the performance of palatability above authenticity or personal integrity. Ironically, what's necessary for any trendsetter to be admired by others is to be unapologetic, and unwavering in self-acceptance.

From November 2024 to 2043, our collective will witness a rapid evolution never seen before. Time itself will be experienced differently as new technology continues to advance beyond our human capacities. In my analysis of collective evolution across this longer astrological transit, the prevalence of parasocial relationships reflects a manufactured sense of lack in society– a by-product of the imagined intimacies that social media’s dissociative nature thrives off. Pluto’s transit in Capricorn thrived on the grind mindset; pushing yourself beyond what you know is healthy, but are being sold into. This can look like athletes who exhaust their body capacity in hopes of winning an accolade, or recognition and are now reaping long-term consequences of short-term gratification.

Another transit that informs this drawing is Neptune's influence. This slow transiting planet is currently in its home sign of Pisces, the Dreamer, since 2011— to this upcoming April 18th, 2025. When it shifts into Aries, the Warrior archetype, this marks another major transformation in our collective that will change the nature of society as we know it. Waking life has become a place where people find themselves wanting to escape from; seeking asylum in alternative vessels of connection, such as video games, web servers, community forums, virtual reality, and much more we have yet to see be developed. It is safe to say that Aquarius will reveal new psychological implications and social risks resulting from the digitization of our diegetic world–like literally a virtual IRL.

PLUTO ACROSS THE HOUSES.
The great malefic transforms whichever House it transits in your chart; turning life inside out to ultimately assist you in deepening your morals and values of what it means to be alive and to succumb to humanness. Those with CARDINAL signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, and Aries in their SUN, MOON, or ASC endured the greatest challenges and transformations across the last fifteen years. It’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You now reap what you sew.
Those embarking on the most intimate journey with Pluto will be SUN, MOON, or ASC with major FIXED sign placements of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius. To work with the currents of Pluto all signs must continue to align with Aquarian concerns of collective liberation.
AQUARIUS
1st House
Aquarian energy is eccentric and noticeably authentic. The belief that this “cool” placement is detached is foundational to their logical, intellectual, and quick nature. However, contrary to this attitude, Aquarius rules the 11th House of Friendships, Community & Collective Consciousness. This sign tends to be very concerned with their public image and reputation. Similar to Capricorn, Aquarius’ planetary ruler was formerly Saturn. Therefore, intentions to create responsibility, discipline, and self-sustaining systems remain. For Instance, the approach of a CEO versus a Community Organizer/Leader can differ drastically in professed values yet often manifests in similar management methodologies that the Visionary intends to dismantle. This over-identification with self-assigned importance is an expression of your individuality that Pluto will take to transform across the next twenty years.
As the dark planet navigates your first house of Identity your appearance and current values will indeed evolve. However, as someone who just completed their Capricorn Pluto 1st House transit, the most beautiful metamorphosis will be in the apparatus of Self: through this journey, as the Zodiac’s Visionary guides your desire, you will gain all the tools you can not yet possibly fathom are necessary to fulfill a purpose in this collective that is much greater than yourself and Your Life. This transit requires FULL embodiment. Welcome to Earth, Aquarius!

CAPRICORN
2nd House
Congratulations Capricorn! After embarking on a fifteen-year journey of Pluto transiting the most intimate house in the Zodiac, the 1st House of Self, Identity, & Appearance, you have a clear picture of who you are, releasing shame, and feeling pride in your self-expression. Enjoy, as you are on a path to discover what your role is in This Life; in the “grand scheme” of it all. The 2nd House is ruled by the earth element Taurus, known as the Banker of the Zodiac. The Venus-ruled sign is concerned with matters of Love & Ethics. For example, Venus relations such as Marriage along with the intersections of wealth, assets, and long-term plans become of concern for the next twenty years, until 2043. This transit will require you to display the self-discipline learned concerning Power vs. Play during your 1st House transit. Don't play on those taxes! For real.
During Pluto's transit in Aquarius, it is important to remember your worth and not accept less than you deserve. The dark planet will test your values–both in your moral integrity, and how you honor yourself. As you accumulate material riches it is important to remain firm in your intentions as you can easily become blind to your sense of indulgence. You are more susceptible to gambling, grifters, and online scams with Pluto in the 2nd House in Aquarius. This transit requires you to strengthen your financial literacy, leaning into ways of dismantling hierarchy, the redistribution of wealth, and a necessary investment of time/energy into building long-term security– what will it take? Time to clock in, Capricorn.

SAGITTARIUS
3rd House
The freedom to live life as you do now–of your own will– was once a petrifying thought. However, this agency has since grown to become a great source of safety and security in Your Life. Pluto transiting your 2nd House of Love & Ethics redefined your value system. This is more than the material and financial measures you initially thought it’d take to feel unafraid, it is about becoming resourceful and building stability. However, it's about the journey, not the destination. Right, Sag?
This might have you feeling mentally overstimulated or depressed in life right now. The 3rd House of Air sign Gemini rules Communication & Intellect concerning themes of local socialization such as siblings, neighbors, and educational environments. During this transition, the prevalence of your role within your local community will challenge you to upgrade the way you have learned to express your internal world. Be careful of developing neurotic attitudes surrounding your needs, preferences, or rigid mental frameworks. Be cautious of 3rd party interference such as cheating scandals, deceiving contracts, technology malfunctions, car accidents, or traveling under alarming weather conditions. Having a consistent daily routine will aid in your impulse to over-examine or control situations in your everyday life. Intellectual pursuits and leaning into your hobbies, specifically craftsmanship, new media arts, and teaching, will become vital outlets for processing what words cannot do justice to your emotional depths.
SCORPIO
4th House
When Pluto was transiting your 3rd House of Communication & Intellect across the last fifteen years, your mind and its fallacies led you to the depths of your discernment– allowing you to bridge the gaps between your mental processes of what success looks like vs. what that means for Your Life. This was a time when your moods, neurotic frameworks, or 3rd party distractions greatly challenged the security you built for yourself. As Pluto exits your Capricorn 3rd house, you recognize how essential the proper communication tools are in developing communion with others. Prepare for a transit that requires exploring the depths of your most vulnerable self by utilizing your new language for self-expression, Scorpio. If you are in search of a belonging–this is your call.
As Pluto in Aquarius transits into your 4th House of Home & Family there will be skeletons pulled from out the closet. Traditionally ruled by the water sign Cancer, the Mother of the Zodiac, wounds surrounding femininity, abandonment, and nurture, will no longer withstand passive attitudes regarding the Truth. This can manifest as a major relocation of your living scenario, or as physical health issues regarding the stomach and breasts* causing discomfort in feeling “at home” in one's body and self-image. That being said, it is important to have Water element outlets, such as long baths or walks along the river, which help you to process your emotional sufferings so that these burdens don’t physically manifest.

LIBRA
5th House
Since 2008, Pluto in Capricorn has been transiting your 4th House of Home & Family, which fell nothing short of familial issues: paternal abandonment, problematic sibling dynamics, ancestral secrets, or abrupt changes to your physical home. The prolonged feeling of isolation or invisibility is being relieved from your psyche as you move into the house of Belonging. As Pluto transits your 5th House of Pleasure, Romance, Children, and the Arts, it will be necessary for you to reinvent what it means to create and to continue to be inspired at producing new life forms while navigating a dying system.
The commodification of the Artist archetype has subsequently censored freedom of expression, and in doing so, limits the witnessing of those who dare to rebel against the status quo. This isolation further perpetuates that an Artist is synonymous with professional titles—Photographer, Graphic Designer, Filmmaker, Painter, and so on, which yes, in function, however, this suppresses the importance of this role as a Visionary in our collective. Truth is, it's a privilege to work and live as the Artist post-Capricorn Pluto’s grind-hustle era. How do your efforts as an Artist support Pluto in Aquarius’ initiative for collective liberation?
VIRGO
6th House
The dark planet has been transiting your 5th House of Pleasure, Romance, Children, and the Arts since 2008– assuring that these vessels for life's enjoyment were met with constant restriction and sacrifice. As a general essence, Pluto forces us to alchemize the suffering of our dark psyche into the forefront of our consciousness so that we can act upon it and change for the better. Perhaps you were once a hopeless romantic whereas now you're a hopeful realist who understands what it takes to desire with intentions, standards, and boundaries. It is as if you were blocked from mental clarity due to a disconnect between your desires and self-worth. Seeking out pleasure seemed to attract more obstacles than ease. This transit is now over. Be proud of the independence and self-knowledge you have obtained, Virgo.
Pluto is moving into your 6th House of the Physical Body & Work/Life Routine. Concerns about your physical Health/well-being will awaken you to a neglect of your digestive system and its language for communicating your needs for nurture and proper nutrition. This transit will require trust. Virgo rules the gut— meaning your intuition speaks through your actual gut reactions to people, places, or new information. The more you second-guess yourself, the more you neglect your body, ultimately manifesting as self-sabotage. On the other hand, make sure to build a strong case before pointing fingers. Virgo’s Mercurial nature can be neurotic.
This transit will strengthen your intuition through humility, and subsequently shadow work. Forming disciplined routines that center your body's needs will keep your mind clear and focused. When you find yourself confused in life, it is necessary to reestablish routine with your physical body to form mental clarity. Whichever personal planet you have stationed in Virgo will undergo an integration of your dark psyche into your outward, egoic identity, becoming unapologetic with your needs by the end of this transit in 2043.
LEO
7th House
After transiting your 6th House of the Physical Body & Work/Life Routine Pluto redefined what it means to be Strong in both your Mind and Body. Virgo rules the Gut, manifesting as intuition being felt physically first as if an antenna of the Truth– intrinsically feeling what is “hard to swallow”. You know how to listen to what your body is communicating by observing the patterns in disruptions to your health, work/life discipline, and other habitual routines. Virgo, like its sister sign of Pisces, can become so fixated by their motifs that they begin to neglect healthy self-care routines in the process. Now that you understand the needs of your body and your mind, it is apparent in time that you must recondition the way you have learned to navigate interpersonal relationships.
Pluto moving into your 7th House of Contracts, Arrangements & Relationships will challenge you to become the peace you tend to expect from others. You are the only one responsible for your emotions, Leo. If that sentiment sparked defense in you, well, that's exactly my point proven. An ego death [of your current self-perception and Identity] is the necessary push to continue aligning yourself with Pluto's Aquarian drive toward collective liberation. This transit is ultimately about creating balance; dancing with when to push and how to pull. How you connect with others, and how Just of a person you are, will be put under a microscope. Anticipate tests to your self-proclaimed diplomacy—Equity over Equality.

CANCER
8th House
Pluto in Capricorn transiting your 7th House of Contracts, Arrangements & Relationships has shown you the depths of your codependent mindsets and left no choice but to have you become more rigid in your boundaries. There is an intrinsic knowledge of what it means to work in service with others and redefine how you show up as a support system.
Adopting a new air to your aura of self-worth, Pluto is embarking through your 8th House of Dark Sorcery, the Unseen & Taboo. There is an urge to truth-seek; itching to uncover new depths of the dark psyche and shared collective unconscious. Divination practices like Astrology or Tarot will grow to become a new language that aids you in processing “the unexplainable” traumatic events. Alternatively, as Scorpio rules the genitals: Sex Work and Magick can be a source of both healing and power. The 8th House is also the house of Death & Rebirth which needs to be taken both metaphorically and literally. That being said, you could be faced with life-threatening concerns or an Ego death of sorts. Pluto asks us to rise above the darkness against us and integrate this part of ourselves we initially rejected into our identity— becoming reborn in the process. This transit through Aquarius will push you to inspire in controversial ways to expose the dirty Truth.
GEMINI
9th House
Your intuition has reached great depths as your capacity for the 8th House forces of the Unseen, Controversial, and Taboo themes had you standing tall in the face of uncertainty. There is effortless bravery in your attitudes now that you have come to an understanding of Dark Psychology and the human condition in an enlightening new way. Knowledge is power, Gemini.
Pluto is now adventuring into your 9th House of Travel, Culture, & Philosophy. A general boredom in life has invited you to expand your horizons into new territories of spirituality. As soon as you have decided to make peace with shitty circumstances, Pluto will look to poke a hole into your reality in hopes of disrupting your current approach to life. If you have considered yourself to be more of a “realist” than others, well moral messiah it's time to retire the pessimistic nihilism. Aquarius in Pluto will push you to do something revolutionary with the niche experiences that have made you well-acquainted with invisibility, or, moving in silence. For instance, this can manifest as an unexpected relocation abroad which requires you to honor humility by learning a new language via complete immersion. Alternatively, you can have a spiritual experience that leads you to changing religions, or completely altering your field of study. You have become too comfortable as a teacher and it's time again to become a student; curious, and excited to learn.

TAURUS
10th House
As Capricorn leaves your 9th House of Travel, Culture, & Philosophy there is a renewed sense of faith in yourself to adapt, problem-solve, and critically engage. At this point, you may be undergoing new revelations regarding the ways you have been raised to think and how these belief systems have been limiting the greatness you envision yourself capable of. These minimizing mindsets of shame could be a product of internalizing troubling experiences during your time in school, harsh religious expectations, forced migration, restricted travel, or themes of unexpectedly immersing into a new cultural identity. You do have a purpose here, Taurus.
Pluto transits into your 10th House of Public Reputation & Career to recenter the importance of your consciousness’ voice– the I voice, or the “who” that is witness to your Selfhood journey. This means understanding the relationship you developed with yourself to sustain and persevere in life, in addition to whatever beliefs you internalized regarding your sense of worth as a child— revealing a greater understanding of your purpose. Aquarius in Pluto hints that revelations regarding your career will be found within the disciplines of humanitarianism and working with your community.
ARIES
11th House
You're on a new trajectory for stardom, Aries. After years of confusion and doubt clouded your self-image of whether or not you are truly capable of achieving your greatest dreams, we now know the undeniable Truth is that yes, you can. As Pluto leaves your 10th House of Capricorn, you have by far surpassed the image of what you thought you could accomplish during this period of this time. Hype begins to build around your Career & Public Image and you are reminded to be extremely proud of yourself. Being that the 10th is opposite your 4th House of Family & Home, there is a drive to surpass the expectations others have placed on you for a lifetime! That transit came with constant sacrifice for you to get where you are currently. You are not lucky– but you do, however, have discipline, a work ethic, and pure willpower.
Pluto moves into your 11th House of Friendship, Community & the Collective. Whether it's by choice or proximity, this transit causes a disruption in the comfort you feel in those with who you are surrounded. As you continue to outgrow your current circumstances, you will meet very influential people who will introduce you to a new dimension of Your Life. When Pluto is in Aquarius you will be challenged to remain authentic and tested to refrain from social climbing tendencies, exclusive/gatekeeper attitudes, or other mindsets stemming from lack. Their blessings do not take from yours, Aries. Leading for personal gain, instead of interest in your community and support systems, will backfire. You will be privileged with a platform–use it wisely. Everyone’s watching.
PISCES
12th House
While Pluto was transiting through your 11th House of Friendship, Community & the Collective you fostered a charismatic identity in the eye of the public; gaining admiration, aloof admirers, and unique opportunities with ease. However, not without great lessons on what it means to have Power and be a Public Persona who holds the influence to control groups of friends, admirers, or large populations. Alternatively, you could live an easily romanticized Lifestyle, or have a dreamy ethereal-like Visual Aesthetic, that causes people to project fantasy onto you.
Pluto in Aquarius transits your 12th House of the Astral Plane & Mental Presence. The fears of one's unconscious mind–if fed into, have the potential to become extremely out of touch with reality. Your mental health is precious, Pisces. During this transition, you are more susceptible to habits of escapism and codependency that can cause you to become consumed by delusional attitudes. Be mindful of overindulgence: push and pull relationships, gambling, excessive partying, drinking, and other addictive behaviors. The fear of being perceived is tied to the 12th House themes of hidden enemies, manipulation, surveillance, and institutionalization. Pluto in Aquarius can manifest as hiding away via internet forums or dissociating within virtual realities like online video gameplay, which replace lived experiences with imagined intimacies. Self-discipline, Spirituality, and lots of sleep will be the saving grace for your Mental well-being. Avoid behaviors that create an increased sense of paranoia or risk. Nobody hates you, and if on the odd chance they are sure of their hatred, let conflict become an opportunity for resolution. Accountability will be your responsibility to handle with care; curating the way your internal framework informs your external reality. Fight the urge to hide away from the world.
CLOSING NOTES.
Your Life, in its highs and lows, is not operating like a movie. Whether this sentiment is bred from innocence or ignorance, there’s a happiness fantasy the System sells as a means of producing Capital and maintaining Patriarchy. Manufactured cognitive dissonance is one of the greatest threats facing our society as we chart into the unknown development of the Age of Aquarius.
Regardless of Privileges, we are all promised the same future of disruption and chaos— which is the true essence of Aquarius. For example, the ongoing Climate Crisis (Earth element) reaching its point of no return– directly linked to Imperialism and Consumer culture (Capricorn). Another example would be the rise in AI technology, as it is replacing jobs, and becoming so high quality in its production that it is no longer easy to decipher what is fact from fake. Technological advancement marketed as endless convenience robs you of the critical processes that are the painful, pleasurable, part of being alive— all of which quanitifies our Humanity.
If you choose to live in ignorance of the oppressive systems working against the Collective, then I believe Pluto will continue to mend your reality in disruptive ways that force you into surrendering privileges. It is up to the individual to mobilize and engage their people —as the revolution is never televised. The necessary disruption of the current status quo is upon us.
If you are intrigued to learn more about what this means for Your Life, I am available for personal readings through my Instagram.
