The week/month’s astrological happenings

Pluto enters Aquarius on Nov. 19th and will remain in this sign until 2044

Pluto is wrapping up its 16-year cycle in Capricorn and will move into Aquarius today! Yes, you heard that right, TODAY!!!! 

Many of us are jumping for joy right now, especially people with Cardinal sign placements in their big three (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.) Since 2008, people with heavy Cardinal energy have been going through it, being that Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation, has been in Capricorn, a Cardinal sign, for a significant amount of time.

During this period, Cardinal Signs have experienced situations and interactions that have forced them to let go and release control, as well as face inner tension, having to make difficult decisions, go through challenging power dynamics, and start over from zero.  

Although my sun sign is in a fixed sign (Scorpio), my moon is in Libra and my ascendant is in Capricorn, I can tell you that for me, the last 16 years, especially the earlier half, have been intense, painful, and scary. However, these experiences have made me wiser and more resilient. I feel like I’ve transformed more than once during this period. I’ve also spoken to many clients, friends, and family members with Cardinal Signs in their big three, and they report having gone through similar experiences. 

In a previous newsletter, I discussed how Capricorn deals with structure, foundations, and systems, whereas Aquarius is more progressive, innovative, and future-oriented. This Fixed Air sign is a visionary thinker, and community-oriented yet independent at the same time. Aquarius is unconventional and unafraid to go against the grain if it means that it will be better for the collective in the long run.   

The Pluto in Capricorn era was crazy and messy because Pluo seeks to transform while Saturn-ruled Capricorn is associated with authority, governments, structures, institutions, and foundations. It wants things to last and to leave a legacy. This energy doesn’t mesh so well with Pluto, which wants to tear down these structures and build them back better. During these last 16 years, We have gone through multiple global financial crises, a massive technology/AI boom, mass global uprisings, the normalization of smartphone usage, wars, genocides, and conflicts in various parts of the world, the COVID-19 pandemic, the advent of content creation, mobilized efforts against the systems/structures in place, and more. This period has been characterized by a desire for change but also tremendous resistance to that change, from governments, global institutions, and members of society. 

The Pluto in Aquarius era will be drastically different. We will see more work shifting online, more people opting to start their own online businesses, a stronger pursuit of work-life balance, and more prioritization of community. The Pluto in Capricorn era made people more skeptical of those in power and the status quo. We can expect to see more and more people turn to spirituality and join grassroots movements that oppose authoritarianism. Technology will continue to develop albeit more rapidly than it already has been in recent years. There will be some downsides to the Pluto in Aquarius transit, including the potential for more social isolation due to greater reliance on the internet and social media, greater political polarization due to social media/internet algorithms, and technocratic control. 

In Practice: [practical actions to take to harness these energies in your life]

To understand how Pluto in Aquarius will affect you, look at the house in your birth chart that is ruled by Aquarius. Where Aquarius is in your chart shows the area of life where you will transform the most.

Aquarius 8th House (Cancer Ascendant): The 8th House governs more private areas of life, including the psyche, shared resources, intimacy, and occult/taboo topics. Therefore, those with their ascendant in Cancer could undergo a deep transformation relating to their mental health, shared resources/finances, and could also immerse themselves in more unconventional circles. 

                   Practical Tip: Answer the following questions in a journal prompt: 

1.What outdated beliefs about intimacy, shared power, or control am I ready to release?

Aquarius 9th House (Gemini Ascendant): Your worldview and belief system could undergo significant transformation during this period. You may have a strong desire to learn and empower yourself and others by acquiring new knowledge. You may also transform through travel experiences or moving abroad being that the 9th house rules long-distance travel. 

                  Practical Tip: Answer the following questions in a journal prompt: 

1.Write about a memorable encounter you had during one of your travels. What did you learn from the experience, and how did it impact you?

Aquarius 12th House (Pisces Ascendant): The 12th House, much like the 8th House, deals with more private areas of life. However, the 12th House takes us even deeper, as it rules spirituality, isolation, and the unconscious mind. During this period, those with Aquarius ruling over their 12th House may experience a spiritual awakening, or simply have a lot of repressed thoughts and experiences come to the surface. They could also experience deep healing and become more interested in the intangible/metaphysical.  

                  Practical Tip: 

1.Try to do a deep, silent meditation. What thoughts and feelings come up for you? Write this down

2.Is there a place on Earth where you feel called to travel to for spiritual renewal? Look into your astrocartography to find somewhere in alignment with more spiritual pursuits.
