Often referred to as the father of Astrological understanding, Hermes Trismegistus left us with the well-known words “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”. When there is movement in our cosmos there is movement within us, with each planetary transition representing a readiness for change stirring from within our own being.
Welcome to a new era.
An unexplored and emerging chapter of our lives both individually and collectively, Pluto enters Aquarius on November 19, 2024, where it will remain for the next 19 years.
A space we have been dipping our toes into since March 23, 2023 and again in January 20, 2024 – we are now ready to fully dive into this new world. And while we can’t know exactly what these next 19 years will bring, we can hypothesise, we can blend astrological archetypes and explore possibilities, or even look to history for clues, where Pluto was last in Aquarius some 248 years ago. But if we know anything about Astrology, we know that each transit desires evolution. And if we know anything about Pluto, we know that its deepest and highest possibility, is empowerment.
Known as an ‘outer planet’ in Astrology, Pluto, along with Uranus and Neptune, represent larger seasons of reality mirroring years of our lives, sometimes decades. When they move, we feel the shift deeply. When they move, they the fabric upon which we live our lives changes. Collaborating with us on both an individual and collective level, as these planets transition into a new sign, we can expect transformation to meet society, shifting collective direction, views, and themes – cracking open foundations, societal structures, and shared consciousness. And in our individual lives, we can expect an invitation to go within, commune with our own underworld, and let it completely transform us.
The Astrology of Pluto
Pluto is our planet of metamorphosis, evolution, rebirth and transmutation. It relates to truth and power, peeling back the layers to identify what’s really going on beyond the surface. It represents our own underworld, bringing to light repressed and unconscious material for the sake of conscious awareness, self-reclamation, and empowerment.
A planet of depth, it moves for the sake of vulnerability, intimacy, and realness from us. It desires to strip away all that is keeping us from ourselves, from others, and from life itself.
The Astrology of Aquarius
An air sign, Aquarius is a zodiac of paradigm shifts. It is a sign of breakthroughs and forward-thinking. It is visionary and expansive, associated with matters of technology, innovation, and the way we envision the future. It is our higher mind and contribution to society, and it desires liberation, freedom, and evolution for all.
A humanitarian at heart, Aquarius supports the whole. It embodies community and societal progress, acutely aware of our interconnectedness. Yet in a way that may at first appear seemingly contradictory, it is also a sign of individuation, of separating itself from the collective mind so that it may hear its own path, heed its own call, and liberate itself from constricting thought patterns, programming, belief systems, and more. From this liberated state Aquarius arrives where it was always meant to be – free to peer into the vaster possibilities awaiting us all, bringing change and evolution for humanity through its very being.
This sign arrives with a poignant reminder for this next era of our lives – a free and liberated collective is made up of free and liberated individuals.
Pluto in Aquarius 2024 – 2043
As Pluto shifts from Capricorn where it has been since 2008, and into Aquarius, it moves from Earth into Air. It offers us the opportunity to leave behind what is stagnant and heavy, shifting our awareness into greater movement and potential spiritual growth. Energy heightens, disperses, and quickens when in air – this element representing consciousness, thought, and the internet – things that we cannot physically touch, or work within the bounds of physical law.
As we look around, we can already see Pluto in Aquarius seeping through the cracks of change. Advancements, breakthroughs, and rapid shifts in technology, innovation, data, science, social norms and ideologies each hold the fingerprints of this revolutionary chapter that lies ahead. This time invites us to dismantle disempowering systems in place and instead explore a new way, a way where the whole is built upon a solid foundation of individual contribution, where together, we are building a community that supports each of its members.
Yet what both of these archetypes remind us is that collective change begins from within each individual. While Aquarius looks to the highest reality and possibility for us all, Pluto unearths shadows and unconscious material. While Aquarius desires freedom and liberation, Pluto illuminates any and all spaces from within our underworld that are anything but free or liberated.
Your Invitations and Highest Potentials
Governing themes of control and power, this planet asks that we look directly into the eyes of what is living within first and foremost that has us disempowered, so that we may take our power back and set ourselves free. It highlights where and who we give our power away to, especially collective, cultural, peer and societal views and expectations. And it brings to light any spaces within our shadow that attempt to control others, situations, or outcomes, inviting us to travel down to the root of this impulse to observe where it comes from, what lives beneath it, and begin untangling its hold through compassion, forgiveness, and honesty.
There is an invitation throughout this time to reclaim an inner authority, for it is from this space that we can each contribute to a reality of collective freedom. We cannot change the collective, or even serve the collective, without first examining what lives within ourselves, conscious and unconscious, that directs and informs our thoughts, ideas, emotions, movements, desires, and actions.
Pluto in Aquarius among many things, also reminds us of the power of thought, word, and frequency. It reminds us that the future, whether peering into possibilities for our individual lives, that of our family and community, or beyond into the collective, is created through every moment of our living reality. It is created in our thought and narratives. It is created in the energy we embody and the way we let hope into our hearts. Aquarius is a conduit for the future, collapsing time and bringing it into the now. We are the conduit for our future, blending into the presence so that we may live within it. What do you divine for your future, for our future?
Individually, this time offers immense potential for personal growth, encouraging independence, exploration, and pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible for ourselves. It offers us the space to untangle ourselves from collective noise that is not ours and tune into what is and commit to what is. It welcomes new perspectives, challenges limitations, and welcomes empowerment and inner authority. And it creates a new stream of awareness travelling from within our unconscious, as represented by Pluto, though our conscious mind, and into a level of higher consciousness, as represented by Aquarius, where it can be transmuted and offered to the whole as wisdom and positive change.
As we invite astrological insight to hold a mirror to our inner world, it becomes a tool to come deeper into ourselves, and deeper into life, supporting us through our own readiness for evolution and change. Our planet of the underworld, transformation, power, and the unconscious, as Pluto shifts in our skies, it is no different. We can choose to work with these potentials and invitations consciously, intentionally, and for the highest good of all. For as we make this choice together, we are creating a new world.
Pluto in Aquarius Horoscopes for each Zodiac Sign
As Pluto moves through Aquarius over these next two decades, it simultaneously travels through a specific point in your individual birth chart, highlighting an area of life that is moving through deep transformation.
The kind of transformation that, as we look back on who we were before this period of our lives began, we realise we are completely different within – hopefully, more empowered, truthful, honest, free and liberated. In this area of life, we are being invited to take back our authority, strip away the excess, and come into a deeply empowering, intimate, and creative relationship with.
If you have any planets in Aquarius, know that these planets are also contributing to the transformation of this area of life, while also receiving their own death and rebirth by Pluto, transforming spaces like your emotional world (Moon), sense of Self (Sun), mind (Mercury) values (Venus) and more.
