On June 10, 2023 Pluto retrograde in Aquarius will move back into the last degrees of Capricorn until October 10, 2023 when Pluto stations direct in Capricorn. This retrograde is the first of two retrograde phases where Pluto will hang out going back and forth over the Capricorn, Aquarius cusp before fully moving into Aquarius which will be on November 19, 2024.
Since Pluto’s momentous entry into Aquarius on March 23rd, we have felt a powerful pull to deep shadow work around our individuality and the authenticity of our lives. However, on May 1, 2023, Pluto made its first station retrograde in Aquarius. This brief first foray into Aquarius didn’t give us the time to gain much momentum and significantly experience the effects of this transition into Aquarius. With this retrograde re-entry in Capricorn, the Cosmos is showing us we aren’t done with Pluto in Capricorn and we need to have a serious and honest review and re-evaluation of how well or not so well we’ve grown and healed through the expression and lessons of Capricorn.
This five month extremely slow rewind will take us back over the deep psychological mining we’ve done concerning our personal integrity, inner authority and control issues, especially over this past year. A powerful time to face ourselves and consciously purge what has been hurting and holding us back from realizing more fully our personal potential that gives meaning and value to our lives. To reclarify Important life goals and desires that inspire, have purpose and bring fulfilment.
Adding to the potency of this first retrograde phase is Pluto in a tight square with the South and North Nodes underlining issues around personal power, stability, fear and courage through compelling old karmic patterns that hold us back as well as an urgent sense of destiny leading us forward. Increasing the complexity of this square is the transition of the nodes from Taurus/Scorpio to Aries/Libra that will affect us, our lives and our relationships, personally and collectively. The transition of the nodes from Taurus/Scorpio to Aries/Libra occurs on July 12, 2023 just days before the Pluto/Nodes square that peaks this summer on August 3, 2023.
This aspect can feel challenging, and difficult decisions may need to be made, yet always remember that squares or any aspect is an opportunity to integrate the energies, the lessons and the gifts of the planets and signs. When that integration is done consciously is when the gift is found.
