Transformation: Pluto in Aquarius

Today Pluto, the celestial body associated with massive, long-term transformation, is shifting into the sign of Aquarius. This is the first time it has entered Aquarius in two and a half centuries. It is the planet farthest from the sun in astrology. Intensity, passion, determination, power, control, and transformation are themes related to Pluto. It is often referred to as a generational or transpersonal planet since its distant position is expected to shape society over a longer period. In terms of our personal development, it will help to remember that there is always darkness before dawn, and Pluto doesn't hesitate to go deep to help us see things more clearly. While this planetary journey could deliver a few tough lessons, it can also remind us of our strength as it brings forth a newfound sense of empowerment. This major celestial event will affect each zodiac sign, especially rising signs, differently.

Aquarian energy is cutting-edge and inventive, pushing us to progress as a whole society. Despite Aquarius being a Water sign, it is an Air sign and, therefore, deeply entangled in the mental realm. The visionary realms of Aquarius stir the winds of change and broaden our vision beyond our individual lives and experiences. Free-thinking and progressive, Aquarius strives to do the greatest good for the most people. We'll be uniquely positioned to find unity where it matters most. However, major pushback and conflict will likely occur before a resolution can be reached.
