It’s time to cozy up with yourself, dive deep into your soul, and reflect on the whirlwind of challenges and changes over the past year. From May 2 to October 11, 2024, Pluto—the planet of transformation and rebirth—is going retrograde. Before you start imagining cataclysmic events, take a moment to relax. Pluto’s retrograde is more like a yearly pit stop than a rare catastrophe.

Think of this as a nudge to slow down and take stock of your life: check under the hood and see what’s been stirring in your psyche. When Pluto reverses, it’s about digging deep, facing resistance to change, and making room for something new. It’s like a cosmic Marie Kondo session—but instead of decluttering your closet, you’re decluttering your soul.

To help guide you through this period of introspection and change, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo is an excellent read.

This isn’t just any retrograde; it’s Pluto’s farewell tour in Capricorn for the foreseeable future. Since March 2023, Pluto has been dancing between Aquarius and Capricorn. When Pluto starts in Aquarius, slides back into Capricorn, and then returns to Aquarius post-retrograde, it’s like entering a new playground. Pluto in Aquarius shines a spotlight on our societal structures and long-term goals, urging us to question the status quo and rethink our approach.

From September 1 to October 11, Pluto’s retrograde detour back into Capricorn allows us to reflect on our progress and the baggage we’re still carrying. The shift from Capricorn to Aquarius might feel like whiplash, moving from strict rules to a more free-spirited vibe. But change is good, right?

During this retrograde journey, Pluto moves from 2° of Aquarius to 29° of Capricorn. If you have planets in those degrees, buckle up—you’re in for quite a ride. Regardless, it’s a great time to check in and see which area of your life is in the celestial spotlight. Don’t forget to read your rising sign for the full scoop.

For those interested in understanding the deeper astrological impacts of Pluto’s transitions, Astrology for the Soul” by Jan Spiller is a highly recommended book that explores the challenges and opportunities brought by planetary movements.
