Pluto Stations Retrograde

Pluto begins its retrograde on Aquarius’ third degree, preserving a sextile with Neptune in Aries that has been active since the beginning of the month. The Neptune-Pluto sextile is an ongoing generational aspect that inspires cultural shifts in belief and facilitates upgrades to spiritual consciousness. Yet the two planets have been moving in and out of orb for years now, building tension and edging towards perfection, which won’t occur until 2026. The pattern is about to repeat. Neptune will be within one degree of Pluto in early July, and with Saturn also inserting itself into the equation, cozying up to Neptune and making its own sextile to Pluto. Mid-July, both station retrograde within a week of each other, and all three powerhouses synchronize their apparent backwards movement.
So, as Pluto spends the next five months Rx, we are guided to question what must go and what must stay – psychologically speaking. Typically, during Pluto Rx, relationships become the subject of analysis, investigation and elimination. Manipulation tactics and betrayals feature. *But presently, the relationship to be jettisoned might be one with a belief, an ideal, or an addiction.* The idea is to take back your power, and this requires cutting cords with whatever has been siphoning that power. Beliefs can become crutches. Ideals can blind us to reality. Addictions reflect obvious power imbalances. This won’t do now.
This is an important time to pay attention to your dreams. Some will deliver revelations or unlock repressed memories. Yet some will threaten to lead you deeper into denial or delusion. Distinguishing between the two may become challenging. Recording nocturnal visions and noting when they provide prophetic information will help you to parse fiction from nonfiction.
