What will happen when Pluto moves into Aquarius? And how does that affect you?
In 2024, Pluto will make one great leap for Humankind as it leaves the sign of Capricorn on Nov 19th 2024. So it’s time to grace it and get on with it as Pluto moves in until 19th Jan 2044.
To understand the implications of Pluto in Aquarius, let’s get up close and personal with a back story of one of the most maligned and misunderstood heavenly bodies of our generation.
On February 18th 1930, Pluto was born into our perception saying ‘this is life Jim but not as we know it.’ Just like the famous Star Trek quote, this deep space explorer was the gatekeeper to some of the darkest unknown we’d ever encountered.
This Titan of Transformation, asked us to develop courage muscles we didn’t know we had and realise in the words of Hamlet, ‘There are more things in Heaven and Earth Horatio than are dreamt in your philosophy.’
Whether you want to go with the flow, embrace life or resist, Pluto embodies the drip, drip, drip of the constant flow of risk, opportunity and what is yet to be uncovered and discovered.
Finding Pluto was a considerable astronomical learning curve. With an on-going search for Planet X, Le Verrier to Lowell spent years and much of their money, plotting ghost orbits, scanning for a glimpse of anything in deep space darkness.
On February 18th, this tall dark handsome stranger arrived centre stage, just when the world needed a magical new kid on the block. Size, orbit and details didn’t matter. Pluto held the promise of something tangible in the most obscure and distant part of our universe wrapped in the magical unknown.
Even Walt Disney wanted to share Pluto’s aura naming his latest cartoon character in honour of the new planet’s discovery. More importantly, Walt harnessed one of the most Plutonian of qualities – fame. Hiding out in one of the least known parts of the galaxy ensured Pluto instant fame, notoriety, infamy and controversy.
Is Pluto a Planet? Planetoid or Dwarf?
After the excitement of finding Pluto, things went quiet until it was time to put all the new discoveries into perspective. Did Pluto look big in the Kuiper Belt? The short answer is – ‘No.’ Pluto was a lot smaller than astronomers had first thought and got downgraded to a Dwarf planet.
Did Pluto care that you could fit 170 Plutos inside the Earth – not really. Pluto was happy to stand alone or with his considerable entourage of Moons: Charon Nix, Styx, Kerberos and Hydra to keep him company.
More importantly, Plutonian astrology has always cast aside external packaging in favour of core values, free will and the immaterial qualities that support a soul to greatness. Big picture thinking, stepping back to understand the whole story and braving the disapproval of others are all part of Pluto.
The ruling energy of Scorpio always challenges you to, rethink and deep dive into what you really see, feel, believe and understand. Never judge a book by its cover or a Planet by its size.
More importantly, everything in the Pluto world is constantly transforming. When your home turf stretches from death to rebirth, anything is possible and everything is relative.
Friend or foe? Here to help or hinder your journey?
Pluto in any sign, is one of the best life innovators and advisors you’ll get. No crisis too big or detail too small. Pluto has wisdom about endings, beginnings, rebirths and soul searching you’ll want to harness. Plutonian astrology is about fulfilling big dreams and that means mastering change, transformation and evolution.
The way the transformation happens, is what has attracted most of the bad press and sinking feeling people have when you talk about Pluto. Is it justified?
The short answer is – it all depends where you started from.
Pluto doesn’t judge what has gone before although, he’s aware of your Karmic footprint. If you choose to be a victim or view yourself as unlucky going nowhere fast, Pluto won’t argue with your self-perception.
If you believe you are capable of embracing change, willing to choose and take responsibility, it will be easier to align with Plutonian empowerment. But Pluto doesn’t guarantee anything or favour one solution over another.
If you think you should push and force, Pluto will show you what happens when you do. If you’re too frightened to take a leap of faith, you’ll find out what a life put on ice feels like.
Pluto doesn’t say struggle, conflict or imbalance are natural or normal. But just like ripping off a bandage, sometimes Pluto power means fast track transformation. And if change is neglected, avoided or denied, transformational pressure is going to build up.
Pluto punches above its weight because it’s the determination we all need when times get tough, the empowerment that supports our soul when we least expect it and the light when all other lights go out.
Nothing is beyond rebirth or transformation. But if you want a pleasant trip, you need to make the wise choices that keep resistance and denial to a minimum.
Pluto puts the truth in front of you whenever possible. Tells you what is most supportive although, it might not be the most popular solution and can often be the least comfortable. Whether you are in denial, resistant, or truly conscious, and enthusiastic, Pluto will show you what you most need to see.
Which questions do you need to ask to build your Plutonian partnership?
Pluto’s mastery of death and rebirth can’t even get started if you don’t risk and choose change. Yes, it might feel he’s pacing in the background before you take the plunge, but nothing can happen until your inner and outer worlds align.
Are you going against yourself or supporting your true nature? Is it time to do nothing or act decisively? Are you being self-loving or self-sabotaging? These are all questions you need to ask, to walk your talk with Pluto.
If you’ve always found it hard to trust, prone to worry or get a sinking feeling about the Sign of Scorpio, Pluto isn’t here to destroy your life or make you change anything.
One of the most misunderstood aspects of Plutonian healing is this isn’t an all or nothing Planet. Nothing has to be high drama or front page news. But if you set out in the opposite direction to what your gut and heart are telling you, the Pluto rule comes into play. The bigger the resistance, the bigger the mess.
Everything and anything is on offer until a choice is made. The good, the bad and the ugly. This doesn’t mean the too good to be true, morality free zone and Human suffering are compulsory. But Pluto from birth to death back to rebirth, is inextricably linked to free will. And there are as many choices and ways to create, as Humans on the planet.
This is why Pluto can appear both a friend and an enemy. Turn hopeless situations into miracles, Beauty into the Beast and conspiracies into truth. But the true nature of Pluto is to help you align and realign with what you feel, think and believe as you journey through life. The more you are aligned the more enjoyable the journey.
When you can listen, understand your choices and co-create with the unknown in your unique and conscious way, a stranger can become ‘a friend you haven’t met yet.’
Pluto will always hold up the big picture of life and show you a way through. But it will never bail you out from what you most need to learn. He isn’t buyer beware, more a case of ‘be aware of what you’re buying into.’ Pause, balance and understand deep down what your inspiration, enthusiasm and gut is telling you. Then and only then, you can plunge into the Plutonian flow.
Aquarian Pluto walks into a bar…
Pluto in Aquarius in Human terms, is the person who has the vibrant sensitivity to show you how to change your life forever just by being themselves to the very core of their being. Aquarius Pluto lights up a room with individuality.
This could mean they are focused, committed to their difference and working to bring their chosen dream into reality. They could be that someone you see on your way to work who pays it forward, laughs loudly, accepts who they are and asks for help willingly.
The point is, we are all moving into a time when goals, idealism and evolution of the individual will be achieved on a mass scale. And just like the Renaissance Age of enlightenment, 2024 and beyond, is the next step on that journey. A path into a greater understanding of what it is to choose, take responsibility and build a conscious reality.
What was thought unrealistic or even ridiculous will become common place. There will also be an expanding appreciation for all those who worked their whole lives to shift human perspective. Be it the Leonardo’s of past centuries or the whistleblowers of recent times.
People will see why they fought for Humanity, diversity and the right to be individual. It’s as if their vision and contribution will reach through a time tunnel joining up from all directions channeling into Now. Dead or alive they will give us the courage and wisdom to complete a foundational shift in perception and collective consciousness.
Aquarian energy knows, that at this time on the planet diversity, individuality, heartfelt consciousness is what will energise and build the shift from the old paradigm to the Now Age paradigm. As people fight for truth, demand integrity and conscious action, what isn’t working will be seen for what it is – a reality and paradigm in rapid decline. Pluto will help us make the tough and wise decisions to support what will be both prosperous and purposeful moving forward.
The Aquarian energy is showing us all that life begins in the heart of everyone’s world. And the greatest charity and innovation starts at home with the choices we make. No one can be you and Pluto is supporting everyone in taking responsibility for a resonant and conscious life experience.
Pluto in Aquarius is a period in our development when we all get to glimpse the difference between a fate and a destiny. The difference between living a life of homogenised bland or beige and one of fulfillment, purpose, prosperity and meaning.
I hope Pluto in Aquarius inspires you to have the confidence to explore further and be patient with the chaotic and expansive way life comes together. I hope the day you wake up late, rushing to work, far out of your comfortzone, is the reason you meet a life changing person.
Lastly, I hope Pluto in Aquarius is your best age yet, when we all see past fake news, digital fatigue and attempts to homogenise Humanity, just in time to choose the reality that unites the Humanity.
With Pluto’s cosmic nudges we’ll be able to say this is the Aquarian Age for real. And if you want to take the trip of your lifetime, Pluto will guide everyone who chooses, into the initiations and innovations that bridge the gap between transformation and evolution.
