So Don’t Freak Out, but Pluto’s Going Retrograde
Get ready for another change in the astro weather. From April 25 to October 4, Pluto will retrograde in Capricorn. Pluto is the planet of rebirth, transformation, and restoration, so this transit promises healing and change in your personal life and in the wider world.
This little guy may be the most controversial planet—it was demoted from planet to a dwarf planet in 2006, and some people are still fighting for it to regain its former status. (#TeamPluto) However, don’t let its teeny size fool you. Pluto packs a lot of punch in astrology because it blows up situations and relationships that are no longer serving us, only to rebuild them into something and better. When Pluto goes retrograde, we look at our emotions on a deeper level and embrace our dark side or “shadow self.” Like if the two Lupitas in Us ended up as BFFs, y’know?
We began seeing effects of this particular astro story on January 3, when Pluto entered its pre-Retrograde zone, and the post-Retrograde shadow will last until January 25, 2021.
So, what exactly can we expect during Pluto Retrograde?
It’s common to feel like no one gets you during Pluto Retrograde, but this transit is shedding a light on what we knew intuitively all along. People who have lied to us in the past will be exposed, and we’ll find out harsh truths about some sketchy situations. Basically, expect Real Housewives–level dramz. But there’s a happy ending, because Pluto Retrograde is asking us to change our lives for the better. Let go of the fake friends and stop any projects that are more work than they’re worth. You want only actually good things in your life right now.
Maybe even more importantly, Pluto Retrograde invites healing and connection. We’ll see people working together to solve injustices, both on a personal and global level. This is a time to reach out to your friends, get involved with a mutual aid group, and do what you can to help the world, whether that’s making homemade masks to fight the PPE shortage, donating to nonprofits, or simply staying home. Remember, even if we aren’t physically together, we can still be united.
