Pluto Stations Retrograde
Pluto Stations Retrograde
6th 8:34 AM PDT / 7th 1:34 AM
Pluto begins its cosmic backslide today; a subtler transit with less immediate felt reverberations. To give some context for this retrograde, Pluto has been on Aquarius’ 5th degree since March 20 as it slowed to station. While its relative standstill may have manifested in a personal story arc (especially if you have planets around 5 degrees of any of the fixed signs), it’s more likely that, if you’ve clocked its slowdown at all, it’s been in an existential way. A feeling of foreboding. The sense that the other shoe is about to drop.
Except now that Pluto retrograde is here, the shoe *still* hasn’t dropped. We are in a state of suspension, and the reveals coming your way have less to do with external events than a shift in mindset. Pluto’s retrogrades expose which of our unconscious behaviors are the TRUE powers behind the throne, as well as which ones are stymieing our self-actualization or success. Here, repressed memories resurface. Suppressed intuition becomes impossible to ignore.
In Aquarius, Pluto is asking us to reimagine how we define progress, innovation, and community engagement. Many of the crises we are facing now are a result of societal infrastructure crumbling, but a percentage of these crises are *insurmountable* because we have surrendered our agency for the promise of a better life that has failed to materialize. Fear has taken the wheel, and fear is an 'us' problem. Systemic change IS coming, but Plutonian transformation occurs glacially, and it must start within. The next five months encourage self-examination, soul-searching, and a willingness to transmute the taboo. Our advice: don’t hold on so tight to the known. Question what power means to you. When you peel back your preconceptions, real power may look different than you thought.
