Astrology's most profound and transformative planet will change sign. The transition to Pluto's transit in Aquarius begins on March 23, 2023, at 9:23 a.m. EST.

Pluto's sign change will occur in three stages:

  1. In 2023 the transition begins, that is, Pluto's transit in Aquarius will last from March 23 to June 11, after which Pluto returns to Capricorn where it stays until December.
  2. In January 2024: nine more months of Pluto's transit in Aquarius.
  3. November 19, 2024: the day of the big change. Finally, Pluto stays in Aquarius definitely for 20 years.

Pluto for Astrology

Pluto represents both your personal power and the shadow of your personality. In your chart, Pluto is in a sign and in a house. This means that all Pluto themes receive the characteristics of the sign and involve the house this planet is in. Learn about Pluto in your birth chart here.

And now understand some of the meanings of Pluto:

  • Pluto is associated with your power of transformation, especially radical transformations.
  • Pluto is also the king of sadomasochism.
  • The energy of Pluto in the Birth Chart is usually one of the most difficult to manage.
  • Everything is intensified by Pluto.
  • Pluto represents power and, at the same time, the fear of power.
  • This is the planet that rules the underworld.

Meanings of Pluto's Transit

Pluto is the planet of transformation and mass extinction. Like an atomic bomb, which with a simple push of buttons represents the difference between life and death, so is a Pluto transit, a moment that demands the new from a radical cut with the past.

If you are experiencing a Pluto transit, get ready for a period of profound transformations. To find out if you are experiencing a Pluto transit, follow the step-by-step instructions at the end of this article.

Meanings of Pluto's transit in Aquarius

When Pluto enters Aquarius, it is possible that a completely unthought-of new possibility will arise there in that area of life where we have the 0 (zero) degree of Aquarius - to find out about this in your life, see the step-by-step at the end of this article.

The problem is that Pluto will stay almost three months in Aquarius degree 0! In other words, there could be a lot of emphasis and intensity in a new beginning! For those who like beginnings, it could be wonderful, even more so because until May Jupiter is in Aries (see here in the astrological calendar), saying "amen" to this vibration.

However, in the process of opening a new chapter in your life, Pluto can remove with the power of an atomic force anything that prevents you from "changing the subject" or imprisons you in some way (two very Aquarian themes).

Pluto represents the end and the fatal

As the last planet in our solar system, Pluto represents finality and fatality. As this planet rules the sign of Scorpio, it deals with the karmic mechanics of death and rebirth.

Therefore, Pluto transits can bring loss, but also rebirth As well as an awakening to another level of consciousness about the issues in that area of your life through which the planet will pass (see at the end of the article!).

Any chaos or devastation that Pluto brings is necessary for its metamorphosis.

Aquarius means change

Aquarius is about change. If when it was in Capricorn (2008-2023), Pluto demolished some structures, laws and rules that were already outdated, in Aquarius the planet can break rules to balance differences, bringing justice and freedom.

On the other hand, you need to think about how far you can go in your obsession to have your freedom, to have your rules and your rights respected.

Just so you understand: Capricorn rules structures, laws, and rules; Aquarius rules freedom, rights, and contestation; and the second to last sign of the zodiac rules rebellion, technology, and modernity.

Everything changes as of March 23, 2023?

From March 23, 2023, when Pluto's transit in Aquarius begins, you can begin to get an idea of what Pluto in Aquarius means. But it will only be a rehearsal.

Because all deep and lasting change takes time. Nothing that keeps the same position, with the same status or the same power for years is shed overnight.

That pattern that you have built up over a lifetime, may need a few decades to be deconstructed.

We have a few possibilities with so many entries and exits of Pluto from the sign of Aquarius - there are three as you saw at the beginning of this article. The most valuable of these, in my opinion, is to understand which asks us for Pluto's energy to align with this possibility.

What is asking you to effect transformations so that you have to renounce everything that only serves to feed your ego and gives you a sense of power through dependencies?

For example: "that person can't live without me" or "I can't live without that person". Pluto will come tearing any such feelings in our lives. And, believe me, it is for our own good!

When Pluto takes something away from you it is to "force" you to be independent Then, with the lesson learned, Pluto gives it all back.

Pluto doesn't want you to lose, the planet just wants you to grow by reshaping perceptions and understandings. This, therefore, is for you to really stand up in front of your own life from a place of inner power!

What to expect?

First of all, a tip: you can always make money in the area of your life where Pluto will transit (see how at the end of this article). This is because Pluto is the king of the depths and the underworld. And what is there underground? Ore, gold, silver! So, let's start by saying that you can make money there!

As for your task, wherever Pluto transits your chart, you will have to deal with disassociated parts of the personality. Since Aquarius is a sign of ideology, you may have to reevaluate in what ways your absolute certainties are valid. Which ones set you free? Do any of your certainties keep you in the prison of a toxic pattern of behavior?

This pattern of toxic behavior is where extremism, polarity, conspiracy theories, and distrust of the new, the different, arise.

Why do these behaviors exist? It is important to answer this question because these feelings often have more to do with your fears, humiliations and offenses suffered, than with your actual external enemies.

Power and powerlessness also ruled by Pluto

Since power and powerlessness are also in Pluto's domain, you have to think that where you feel powerless is the same place where you tend to create conspiracies. That is, nothing more than narratives constructed to explain a reality that threatens your ability to control your environment.

As Pluto/Hades is the god of the underworld, the planet is about awakening or recovering what has been buried: secrets, heirlooms, gold, or even atomic arsenals.

So, in that area represented by the house in which Pluto will transit in your chart (understand the step-by-step at the end of the text) there will also be an emergence of secrets, both of those you are ashamed of and of talents and potentials you have never explored.

The transit of Pluto in Aquarius in the collective

On a collective level, that is, thinking about society as a whole, with the transit of Pluto in Aquarius it is possible that we will ask questions about old values. That is, this can include forms of government, hierarchies in companies, bureaucratic processes, international treaties, and the very structure of the world.

Even our physics' view of the nature of things can be questioned, and if the imbalance in some areas is very glaring, we may see some revolutions.

If we think that the Internet and technology are also Aquarian, the efforts of data centralization, the benefits (and risks) of artificial intelligence, the benefits (and risks) of information control, among other things, may come under review.

In this way, over the next 20 years, Pluto may also revolutionize the Internet and point out the particularly nasty sides of the new technologies, at best helping us to solve the problems raised.

Perhaps, finally, we will understand that wars don't work, that exchange, communication and solidarity are the best solutions.

Perhaps the current crises (Covid, energy crisis, inflation, labor shortages, climate crisis, for example) are reason enough to realize that we can achieve more together.

But we know that transformation and development can only happen if we look honestly at what is happening. Every problem ignored under Pluto scales and intensifies to intolerable levels, demanding transformation.

Spoiler of the next 20 years starts in 2023

Note that in these next few months, between March 23 and June 11, 2023, while Pluto makes its first entry into Aquarius, we have a bunch of planets in Aries.

Aries celebrates individual freedom, while Aquarius dominates the theoretical and is ruthless in its ideals, which the sign believes are applicable to everyone.

It is not possible to exist in society without including the differences, but it is also not possible to exist in society by prioritizing each of the differences. Where do we find a balance?

The fact that Aries and Aquarius are sextile signs does not indicate that this accentuation of the theme will necessarily bring positive results. It only indicates that, whether the issue is more positive or more negative, it flows in an untroubled way.

Of course, we potentially have a very productive clash. Aries values unique points of view, and Aquarius unites communities. We may have a resurrection of real creativity and innovation here. Jupiter in Aries began the age of heroes. With Pluto in Aquarius, these heroes can arrive in a new optimistic world.

What can we learn from this astrological transit?

I think that a good rule for Pluto is: if it is not moving, it is because it doesn't have to be yet. Don't push it. You are not the one calling the shots (unless the transit is through the 1st house, in which case you have partial control of the boat).

You are not the one in control of events. Your challenge revolves around starting a new phase and trying something completely new compared to the established.

The only thing you can do is to study the meanings of Pluto thoroughly, so you can align yourself with the planet's energy and start making the necessary moves right away, changing not only your behavior but also your mentality. In fact, this is fundamental. Half-assed" changes do not work with Pluto .

Take an honest look at yourself and your life and evaluate all your dependencies. Eliminate everything that brings you a false sense of power.

  • Do you need a big house?
  • Do you need a job?
  • Do you need status?
  • Why do you need to feel indispensable?
  • How much do the dependencies you create around yourself prevent other people from growing?

You need far less than you think you need, and Pluto will prove this to you at any cost.

Thinking that someone can't live without you? Ask yourself what this belief tells you about your need to be important or fundamental to someone.

Make yourself expendable

Choose to be choice, not necessity . no one should need you to survive, and neither should you need anyone else for that.

Teach yourself and other people that you can live without each other, yes! Pluto is a transpersonal planet. Its themes are not of the ego order: so renounce everything that is fostering a bigger and more important ego.

And know how to identify where your power really lies. If there is ego involved, be sure that Pluto will eliminate it. If there is detachment, it is yours.

When you have learned that nothing that is of the order of the ego has effective long-term durability, then, yes, Pluto gives you back (in double, triple) everything it had taken from you initially.
