Pluto rules the Zodiac sign of Scorpio and the 8th house of occult, death, taxes, loans, finances of others, sex and deep intimacy.</p><p>It represents what’s hidden beneath the surface, our deepest, darkest fears and desires.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NsjBZ8lJufu-kMkxc1NORw@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by Milad Fakurian on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Pluto’s energy is all about transformation, deep soul searching, death and rebirth.</p><p>It’s very often considered to be one of the most challenging influences in astrology, especially when Pluto (natal or transiting) is making hard aspects to personal planets in a birth chart.</p><p>This powerhouse planet has the ability to completely destroy the old, which can be extremely overwhelming and unsettling.</p><p>It can literally turn your life upside down.</p><p>But it’s only doing so to ensure we can build the new from the ground up.</p><p>It’s the Phoenix rising from the ashes energy.</p><h3><strong>Here are the key dates for Pluto’s transition into Aquarius:</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>March 23 – June 11, 2023</strong></li></ul><p>Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time until it retrogrades back into Capricorn</p><ul><li><strong>January 20 – September 1, 2024</strong></li></ul><p>Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn again before it ingresses into Aquarius for good on September 1, 2024</p><ul><li><strong>November 19 – March 8, 2043</strong></li></ul><p>Pluto remains in Aquarius</p><ul><li>• <strong>March 8, 2043</strong></li></ul><p>Pluto enters Pisces</p><ul><li>• <strong>Aug 31, 2043</strong></li></ul><p>Pluto retrograde shifts back into Aquarius</p><ul><li>• <strong>Jan 19, 2044</strong></li></ul><p>Pluto enters Pisces for good</p><h3>Pluto in Aquarius Symbolism</h3><p>The shift of Pluto into Aquarius indicates initiation of irrevocable tectonic changes in the world at large.</p><p>We are entering a whole new era as a planet and as a species.</p><p>Pluto has a profound effect on our society. It revolutionizes governmental structures and shifts power.</p><p>Aquarius represents groups of people, social institutions and our society at large.</p><p>When Pluto was transiting Capricorn we have witnessed major transformation of our financial system and distribution of power on the world stage.</p><p>Pluto in Aquarius is promising to revolutionize our society and bring about massive social change.</p><p>Aquarius is also the sign of innovation, the internet, cutting edge technologies and AI.</p><p>There is no doubt that with Pluto in Aquarius, the role that technology and AI play in our society will significantly increase and will have the most profound impact on our evolution as a species.</p><h3>Importance of Pluto Transits on an Individual Level</h3><p>On a personal level, Pluto’s transits are considered to be highly transformative, very often difficult and uncomfortable, especially if they are touching personal planets and important angles in one’s Birth Chart.</p><p>The most important thing to remember is that Pluto demands ultimate authenticity.</p><p>We can no longer hide what’s not serving our highest good when Pluto knocks on our door.</p><p>Be it people, jobs, living conditions, or self sabotaging behaviour patterns.</p><p>The key to surviving and thriving during challenging Pluto transits is to embrace our shadow side and remove people and circumstances from our lives that are stopping us from reaching our highest potential.</p><p>It may sound pretty harsh, but the thing is if you procrastinate and don’t make any effort on your part to clean up your life, Pluto will do it for you in a forceful and rather painful way.</p><p>However, if we do the work, Pluto can activate the most profound inner strength and ability to deeply transform, rising from the ashes like a brand new person.</p><p><em>Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.</em></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*oodTkfZ-FQNnnGJeppU0Lw@2x.jpeg" /></figure><h3>Pluto in Aquarius – What’s in Store for Aries</h3><p>This transit is going to activate your 11th house of social connections, networking, social media, and friendships.</p><p>You need to pay close attention to your social circle at this time, both online and offline.</p><p>It’s also a great time to re-evaluate goals and long-term plans regarding your social connections.</p><p>Perhaps it’s time to distance yourself from certain acquaintances?

It can also signify what we are likely to be obsessing about.</p><p>Though small in size, Pluto packs a bigger punch than most other planets in terms of its influence on our lives. It’s a very slow moving planet, taking up to 30 years to move through just one given sign and 248 years to move through the whole of the Zodiac!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*N_E4leihqpAhllOQbdwFpA@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by NASA on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Therefore Pluto is considered to be a generational planet – meaning that a certain generation will have the same Pluto sign.</p><p>For example, individuals born between 1983 and 1995 are often called the “Pluto in Scorpio generation.”</p><p>Therefore Pluto’s position in our Birth Chart (the house it is placed in) has a more significant impact on us than its Zodiac sign.</p><h3>Pluto in the 1st House</h3><p>This is a very powerful placement!</p><p>If you have your Pluto in the 1st house of the self (especially if it’s close to your Ascendant (within 10 degrees)), most likely than not you appear to be very magnetic and mysterious to others.</p><p>You posses enormous inner strength and have a tremendous potential to achieve anything you desire!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Y6MEOBWEPa5cU2s1bfq7GA@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by Razvan Chisu on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Watch out for power struggles with your higher ups though. Don’t let your shadow side sabotage your enormous potential to become a powerful leader you are destined to be!</p><h3>Pluto in the 2nd House</h3><p>If you have this powerhouse planet in your 2nd house of money you earn, material possessions, and self-worth, be prepared to go through major ups and downs when it comes to financial matters and your self image. One thing is for sure – you’ve got tremendous potential to build solid wealth in your lifetime!</p><p>You’ve pretty strong financial instincts and unique ability to build your resources from the ground up.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*M8YrP48h5Q-LtZmtHiR7fw@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by micheile henderson on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Don’t be discouraged if you are struggling with your finances with this placement. This is all part of the process! Pluto is all about deep transformation. Once Pluto’s lessons are mastered, the Sky is your limit in terms of achieving significant personal wealth and abundance!</p><h3>Pluto in the 3rd House</h3><p>It’s very likely that you have a highly analytical mind with this placement. You love to dig deep and get to the bottom of things, especially when it comes to learning new skills and communicating with others.</p><p>You prefer to learn from your personal experiences rather than just from books.</p><p>Your biggest transformations in life can come through your siblings and extended family. Your relationship with them can be rather complex and difficult. Don’t get discouraged and know that this is all part of the process that will lead you towards becoming the best version of yourself.</p><h3>Pluto in the 4th House</h3><p>To have Pluto in the house of home, place of origin, and family life can be quite challenging, especially in the first half of life. You may have a very complicated relationship with your parents and care givers.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*FGh9ig9CPYYcDB-6GyvWsQ@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by Liv Bruce on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>One of your parents can be a very strong willed individual that had a massive influence on you during your formative years. Pluto is all about deep transformation and rebirth. It’s very likely that overcoming of these challenges will lead you to create a beautiful harmonious home for yourself and family of your own.</p><h3>Pluto in the 5th House</h3><p>Your superpower lies in your creative self expression with this placement!</p><p>Make sure you let your creative juices flow freely if you have Pluto in the 5th house, otherwise there is a danger of this powerful energy turning into self destructive behaviour patterns.</p><p>Your biggest transformation in life can also come through your children.</p><p>There might be power struggles and challenging circumstances around your kids. Make sure to use this powerful energy productively, rather than destructively.</p><p>Pluto’s aim is to transform us deeply so we can become the better version of ourselves.

It’s not always a bad thing though! There is a great potential to drastically transform your life for the better through your relationships. Use this powerful energy wisely!</p><h3>Pluto in the 8th House</h3><p>Pluto rules this house of death, rebirth, occult, sex, taxes, loans, and all things hidden and forbidden. This is a super powerful placement indeed!</p><p>It’s very likely that you have a natural interest in the occult and phycology.</p><p>You feel naturally drawn to complex intimate relationships and crave deep intimacy. Very often your biggest personal transformation comes through such connections. The themes of domination, power struggles, submission, and control can be significant.</p><p>There is a big potential to become financially independent through the help of others.</p><p>This placement can bring about significant financial abundance through marriage/ divorce and inheritance.</p><h3>Pluto in the 9th House</h3><p>Your overall outlook on life can go through drastic changes several times during your lifetime with this placement.</p><p>You can change your religion or political party when Pluto is placed here.</p><p>The biggest transformation can also come through travelling abroad and immigration.</p><p>You can experience challenges when it comes to legal matters, particularly in foreign lands.</p><h3>Pluto in the 10th House</h3><p>Pluto in the 10th house of career and social status is a powerful placement indeed!</p><p>Especially if it’s close to your Midheaven (within 5 degrees). You are extremely driven when it comes to achieving success and recognition, to the point of obsession.</p><p>There might be serious ups and downs in your career that can lead to tremendous success after all these challenges are overcome.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*PV5MzAUef6C0s_n9WUu1KA@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by Hunters Race on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h3>Pluto in the 11th House</h3><p>There is a tendency to have an “all or nothing” approach when it comes to your friendships, social connections, and group associations with this placement.</p><p>The biggest transformation comes through networking and connecting with the right people at the right time.

The Sun is exalted in this feisty fire sign, making Aries season one of the best times of the year to initiate new things and launch new projects.</p><p>This is especially true this year, because this potent New Moon coincides with one of the most powerful days of the year – the Spring Equinox.</p><p>Another unusual thing is that there will be a second New Moon in Aries this year that happens to be a New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 20. This is a big deal!</p><p>Solar eclipses are known as new moons on steroids and very often bring about fated events, people and circumstances into our lives.</p><p>There is no doubt that some major fated new beginnings are going to take place around the time of the Solar Eclipse on April 20 and this New Moon is just setting the stage for our destiny to unfold.</p><p>Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of war, making the ram a fearless fighter.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6drmGsY-u_NewHxLWxdT4A@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by Claud Richmond on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>This powerful fiery energy makes us feel very assertive, enthusiastic, and ready to be back in the game.</p><p>The New Moon in Aries is traditionally associated with powerful new beginnings.</p><p>It instigates a burning desire for independence so we can forge ahead on our own and be our own boss.</p><h3><strong>The Cosmic Weather Report</strong></h3><p>This New Moon conjuncts the planet of communication Mercury (5 degree orb).</p><p>This alignment indicates the need to think through the best course of action before rushing into anything.</p><p>The planet of good fortune Jupiter conjuncts asteroid Chiron, the wounded healer, at the time of this New Moon.</p><p>We are being asked to acknowledge the importance of a deep healing of the self prior to embarking on setting new goals and initiating new projects.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*1ItDS459QBCK7IS-s0rb4g@2x.jpeg" /><figcaption>Photo by Fuu J on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>The goddess of love and abundance Venus is conjunct the North Node of Destiny in Taurus.</p><p>This powerful cosmic alignment can bring about destined new beginnings when it comes to love and money.</p><p>Pay close attention to people and opportunities that are knocking at your door around the time of this New Moon.</p><p>However, there is no need to rush into anything!</p><p>The full story will likely unfold around the time of the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 20.</p><p><em>Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon, and Sun signs to get a full picture.

Very often, your Ascendant (Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.</em></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*oodTkfZ-FQNnnGJeppU0Lw@2x.jpeg" /></figure><h3>It’s Your Personal New Moon of the Year, dear Aries!</h3><p>This New Moon is happening in your 1st house of the self, dear Aries.</p><p>You might be going through an identity overhaul.</p><p>A full makeover, perhaps?

This is a massive energy shift in comparison to its journey through Aquarius.</p><p>It’s worth noting that this time around it will not retrograde back into Aquarius and will stay in Pisces all the way until it moves into Aries on May 24, 2025 (it will make its way back for a few months into Pisces during its retrograde period and will leave Pisces for good only on Feb 13, 2026).</p><p>Saturn is a slow moving planet. It takes around 28–30 years to make a full journey through the Zodiac, so when it changes sign it is a big deal, astrologically speaking.</p><p>Saturn’s transits usually have a major impact on societal structures, such as governments, and other social institutions.</p><p>The Lord of Karma stands for traditional, patriarchal rules and customs.</p><p>Saturn in Pisces transit is a complicated story, given the vast difference in energy between the planet of harsh karmic lessons, and delays and the last sign of the Zodiac, ruled by nebulous Neptune which is all about unconditional love and dissolving of boundaries.</p><p>On a collective level, we can expect tightening of the existing rules when it comes to film industry and social media influences.</p><p>Unfortunately this transit can spark droughts and drinking water shortages in some parts of the world.</p><p>On a positive note, Saturn in Pisces is going to play a crucial role in the spiritual awakening of the masses.</p><p>It will give us much needed structure and discipline to identify and follow our true soul’s calling.</p><p>There is a great chance that spirituality and religious matters will take the world centre stage in the next 3 years.</p><p>One thing is for sure, Saturn in Pisces is set to instigate major structural shifts in the way we view spirituality and our connection to God as a human society at large.</p><p><strong><em>Recommended article:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://medium.com/modern-mystic-the-world/saturn-in-astrology-the-cosmic-lord-of-karma-ddb479057933">Saturn in Astrology: The Cosmic Lord of Karma</a></p><p><em>Before we dive in, be sure to check your </em><strong><em>Ascendant, Moon,</em></strong><em> and </em><strong><em>Sun</em></strong><em> signs to get a full picture.
