On January 20, 2024 Pluto moved into the sign of Aquarius ushering in one of the biggest energetic shifts of the year. Pluto backtracked during his retrograde period, but in November 2024 he moves into Aquarius to stay - the future is HERE!

In this article I will be covering everything you need to know about Pluto and Pluto in Aquarius. Let's start with the basics and expand into the depths from there!

What is Pluto in Astrology?

Pluto is a dwarf or minor planet, and in astrology, is the planet of transformation. It's passion, power, control, depth, intensity, and dominating. In the natal chart, natal Pluto can show where you have to fight for power and can take control, and where you have the ability (and need) to transform in your life.

Pluto in Astrology

In transit, Pluto brings transformations. Sometimes this is traumatizing, and Pluto destroys everything in its path, forcing us to rise from the ashes. This normally happens with transit Pluto conjunct, square, or opposite a natal planet, especially the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ceres. Since Pluto is so far from the Sun, his influence in transit is said to be more collective than individualistic, unless you have major Pluto energy in your natal chart - that could mean Pluto conjunct any natal planet or luminary, in hard aspects to natal planets, or Scorpio placements.

Pluto Symbolism

Pluto represents Hades in Greek mythology, the lord of the underworld. In astrology, Pluto governs our personal underworld, the collective and individual psyche and consciousness. If you go with the transformations, this can be a positive thing, and you can gain more power and control than you've ever had before.

Pluto at the Anaretic Degree - What is the anaretic degree in astrology?

There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign, 360 degrees total (30 x 12). 29 degrees is the last degree of each Zodiac sign, and is called the anaretic degree as it has very high energy.

In the natal chart, the bodies at the anaretic degree have super heightened energy, and this is usually overwhelming and scary so we avoid it. In transit, the anaretic degree is crisis energy. It's a situation of triggering something really big and important with slow outer planets like Pluto.

Pluto at the 29th anaretic degree is Conjunct Fixed Star Aladfar (Eta Lyrae) in The Lyra Constellation. The Lyrans are one of the oldest groups of galactic ancestors and their home planet was destroyed during the Draco Wars, forcing them to colonize other star systems. Their galactic herstory is imbued with crisis energy, but ultimately the Lyrans are survivors and true cosmic warriors of the light, deeply committed to the Law of One and service-to-others. The Lyrans story reminds us even when something in life is destroyed, we can be strong and embrace change.

Luckily, we are through most of the anaretic Pluto dates and many of us felt this intense energy of endings or crises in 2023. In 2024, Pluto will be at the anaretic degree of 29º Capricorn (Tropical) from September 1st - November 19th, 2024.

Anaretic Pluto in Capricorn Impact:

When Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn from September 1st through November 19th, 2024, Pluto is the destroyer at the anaretic degree, so that is likely going to happen to what's ruled by Capricorn. Governments, corporations, countries, and institutions get direct focus, and we'll likely see some massive changes in all of these areas.

Some will collapse, scandals may come out, change may be forced, and it can seem like it comes out of nowhere, when really, it's been building up for a long time and we just haven't seen it until it blows. Some people individually will be feeling this BIG and INTENSE transformative energy and many of us are moving through radical changes in our personal lives. We have to avoid giving in to the intensity of Pluto though, and try to get some control over it. It can be easy to let passions run wild, and we end up doing things we regret and can't undo. Self-control is very important here.

This will be especially important for anyone who has a natal planet, angle, or other body at the anaretic degree, that at 29º of any of the Zodiac signs.

Also important to look to the house in your natal chart 29º Capricorn falls. The areas of life ruled by that house can be where transformation is focused. Work to transform from the roots, and make use of passion to make progress with it. As you transform, keep in mind what's right, ethical, responsible, and smart - especially in regards to power when Pluto is at the 29th degree.

Power comes in two basic vibes, according to the inspired Law of One channeled material. Power Over or service-to-self power is greedy, manipulative, and ruthless, with no concern for anything beyond selfish gratification. On the flip side, Shared Power or service-to-other power uses power for the greater good, with more concern for others than yourself. When you walk far enough on this path, helping others becomes your greatest selfish pleasure!

Pluto in Aquarius

Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac, it is a fixed air sign and rules the ankles and calves, as well as thoughts, humanitarian efforts, technology, the internet, futurism, all things weird, and, of course, ALIENS!

All About Aquarius

Aquarians are the perfect representatives for the Age of Aquarius. Those born under this horoscope sign have the social conscience needed to carry us into the new millennium. Those of the Aquarius zodiac sign are humanitarian, philanthropic, and keenly interested in making the world a better place. For the next 19 years, it can be easier to “fly your freak flag.” Internally embrace what’s unique and special about you, and share it with the world to the greatest extent that serves highest good.

Aquarius Astrology

The eleventh astrological archetype can be visionary, idealistic, and humanitarian, as well as philanthropic, socially engaged, and reform-minded. From a more individual angle, Aquarius can be ingenious, brilliant, and avant-garde. It can be inquisitive and open-minded. Finally, Aquarius can be determined, technology-focused, creative, and independent. How can you best use the energy of Aquarius?

Aquarius Symbolism

Aquarius also rules intuitive hits, and these can come more easily. And the highest Aquarian expression is to serve others with those special talents you most love to use! In addition, from a community perspective, Aquarius can also be progressive, compassionate, justice-focused, and freedom-loving.

Starseed Astrology of Pluto in Aquarius

During Pluto's tour through Aquarius he will be conjunct Fixed Stars in Cygnus (The Swan), Aquila (The Eagle), Toucan (The Toucan), and Grus (The Crane). This is a time of major Avian Starseed Activations and Blue Avian energy upgrades.

Big Long Lasting Change is Upon Us and the future is HERE!

When you put Pluto and Aquarius together, you get “big change now and futuristic vibes.” Since Aquarius carries the same energy as Uranus, Pluto in Aquarius is reminiscent of the 1960s. A Pluto-Uranus conjunction potently influenced history from 1960 to 1972. This is the biggest astrological reason why that was such a radically transformative decade all over the world.

Things always get intense when we join the eighth archetype, represented here by Pluto, and the eleventh archetype, represented by Aquarius (and Uranus). Once again, it’s time for The Future!

We’re in a major period for shifting, changing, and pushing into the future, especially with Aquarius ruling the future. We can feel like we’re on the edge, at the precipice of something great, bold, maybe scary at times, but necessary. What has been can no longer be, and the future is now.

There can be massive transformations occurring during this period impacting the masses, involving tech or science, the occult, or our causes. We can be more invested in how what we do now impacts everyone at once, as well as way down the line in the future. We can also be more inventive, unconventional, and iconoclastic. This change started in 2023, and we continue to see the changes in 2024, but we’re only at the beginning, so it may not seem quite so big for now. Years later, we’ll look back and see just how big it actually was.

How to Use Pluto in Aquarius

Some of this big change will be beyond your control. But you have plenty of choice about the big changes you want in your own life. Pluto in Aquarius is the perfect setup to rapidly accelerate your personal journey of transformation and evolution!

You can’t control everything in your personal life. Your higher self will make sure you get the experiences you need to have the best chance of fulfilling your life purpose. Some might be wonderful, while some might be challenging. A lot depends on how willingly you get on board with what you incarnated to do as a human being. You can absolutely confront obsessions and do the inner work required to transform yourself for the highest good for all.

Pluto rules trauma healing and shadow work, and the lightning-quick energy of Aquarius can help you do it faster than you might have thought possible. Pluto in Aquarius also support us with psychic cleansing and activation of our psychic gifts, especially clairvoyance and claircognizance. Pluto in Aquarius will undoubtedly see huge technological advancements, greater freedom, and a new cycle of death and rebirth.

As we shift into Pluto in Aquarius, it is ok to grieve the old parts of you that are falling away. Give yourself grace and step forward into the higher timelines that are calling you!
