Pluto enters Aquarius for good on November 19, 2024 (after a very brief stay in this sign in 2023). With this, a period begins that spans from 2024 to 2044 , and which represents one of the most important astrological transits in decades. Pluto is known for being an extremely slow -moving planet, and its transits often profoundly transform the areas it touches , leaving an impact that goes far beyond the immediate or superficial.

In this guide, we will explore in detail what we can expect on a personal and collective level, the challenges that might arise, and how to make the most of this energy of change to grow and evolve. We will also discuss how to protect ourselves from the potential excesses of this influence and how to recognize the opportunities that can lead us to a state of greater authenticity and collaboration with our environment.

Pluto: Purifier and Balancer

In astrology, Pluto symbolizes profound transformation , regeneration , and the ability to integrate the hidden and repressed to bring about meaningful change. Although Pluto is often associated with crises and devastating events in pop astrology, this limited view misses the breadth of its true influence. While it is true that Pluto can bring crises, it also acts as an agent of enormous purification and balancing of energies . In order to purify and rebalance, Pluto dismantles what we no longer need at the soul level (even though on a conscious level we believe we literally cannot live without those elements). After Pluto passes, the emotionally toxic dies and what held excessive or insufficient power is transformed , allowing a new equilibrium to emerge. This renewal changes previously existing dynamics and reestablishes a healthier balance. Although it is common to initially resist these changes, both on a personal and collective level, Pluto always prevails. As the higher octave of Mars (representing individual will), Pluto represents cosmic and universal will . What can we do as human beings in the face of the immense will of the universe? Exactly, nothing. Therefore, it is crucial to surrender to this process and allow our soul to let go of what no longer serves us, reconnecting with our essential power.

Its Transit Through Capricorn (2008 - 2024)

Since 2008, Pluto has been transiting Capricorn, bringing significant transformations in areas related to power structures, authority, and economic systems . Its passage through Capricorn has exposed weaknesses and encouraged a reconstruction of the foundations of our institutions and hierarchies (for more details on this transit, see this post ).

Capricorn is an earth sign. The element Earth is associated with the tangible; what we can manifest in three dimensions. Manifesting anything on the material plane takes time , so Earth signs, in general, tend to be methodical, calculated, and linear. Their approach is to build on firm, secure foundations, which implies slow processes (Virgo is the exception due to its faster, more restless nature, but we'll leave that for another article). Planets in Capricorn maintain a steady, disciplined pace.

This was precisely the way Pluto behaved during its passage through Capricorn. The crises that arose, although intense, developed in ways that reflected Capricorn's conservative and planned nature. Pluto in this sign acted with a structured and disciplined approach , seeking to consolidate solid structures and reform hierarchical and power systems in a gradual manner. The changes were implemented ensuring that the transformations were sustainable and based on stability. The results of this period reflect a careful restructuring that aimed to restructure order and hierarchies within a firm and tangible foundation.

Implied Sextile

Furthermore, Pluto rules (meaning its energy is analogous to) Scorpio, and Scorpio has a sextile relationship - that is, 60° - with Capricorn . Sextiles represent opportunity and energy that flows harmoniously. Therefore, Pluto in Capricorn, seen in perspective, is not a particularly volcanic or explosive energy. Its action is characterized by a transformative influence that manifests itself in a more controlled and structured way, in keeping with the nature of the sextile.

Its Transit Through Aquarius (2024 - 2044)

Here the story changes completely. Aquarius is an air sign , and the air element is associated with communication, ideas, and social issues. Unlike earth, which is stable and tangible, the things that air rules are intangible . Therefore, they do not require the time that the earth element requires for their potential to manifest. Air can be instantaneous ; think of that idea that comes to mind from one moment to the next. Pluto will behave this way as it passes through Aquarius. That is, its pace will speed up and become less controlled.

On the other hand, Aquarius is a fixed sign . Fixed signs present a greater resistance to change compared to cardinal signs like Capricorn. This fixed air combination suggests that Pluto’s transformations in Aquarius may be met with resistance , but at the same time will be unshakeable once they begin to unfold. The relationship between Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) and Aquarius is a square, i.e. 90° degrees, which introduces a level of tension that was not present in the Capricorn sextile . Squares are aspects that create friction and challenges, meaning we can expect a much more volatile and explosive period.

It is important to note that this is not about generating fear, but rather being realistic about the nature of this energy. Think of it like the weather report; if snow is forecast, we can prepare accordingly. Thus, if we are forewarned that Pluto in Aquarius will bring less predictable and more abrupt changes than in Capricorn, we can adapt more effectively. Ultimately, that is the function of any astrological transit: to make us grow, to align ourselves with our nature and purpose, and to help the planet evolve.

Pluto in Aquarius Social Transformations

What Are We Coming to Transform with Pluto in Aquarius?

Aquarius is a sign ruled by two planets: Saturn and Uranus . Therefore, the dimensions that these planets represent will be part of what we are called to transform during Pluto's transit in this sign. Saturn, as the traditional ruler of Aquarius, supports the social structure and ensures that groups have order and a solid foundation.

Furthermore, Saturn is the ruler of time. Unlike Capricorn (the other sign ruled by Saturn), which relates to time from the perspective of tradition and the past, Aquarius connects to time through future vision . This vision encompasses long-term goals and projections of what we want to achieve in the next 10, 20, 50 years or even centuries ahead. Broadly speaking, with Pluto in Aquarius we are called to transform our relationship with the group, the community and that dimension of collective connection, as well as to reevaluate and redefine our aspirations and how we envision the personal and collective future.

This transit invites us to heal the deepest wounds related to the power imbalances that occur in our communities , whether in a more intimate sense, such as at the level of our friendships and close circles , or on a much broader, global scale. Pluto's energy pushes us to rethink and transform the way we connect with others and to question how power is distributed within our communities. This transformation will not only involve social changes in the most collective sense , but also in the family as the foundation of society (especially between 2033 and 2040, when Uranus transits Cancer). In a positive sense, Pluto in Aquarius aims to empower us with respect to ideas that promote social progress , removing the limitations that have slowed our growth and rethinking the social fabric to build a more equitable and connected future.

On a Personal Level: Who Will Be Most Affected?

The influence of Pluto in Aquarius will be felt on multiple levels, both personal and collective. On a personal level, those who will be most influenced by this transit will be those who have important planets or elements in Aquarius . ( In this link you will find the entry dedicated to the meaning of Pluto in transit through each of the planets, nodes and asteroids of the birth chart ). Secondly, those who have planets or important points in the other fixed signs will also feel a significant impact: Taurus, Leo and Scorpio.

This is due to the square and opposition relationship that will form with these signs during Pluto's transit through Aquarius. Pluto will make square aspects to the planets in Taurus and Scorpio , and opposition aspects to the planets in Leo . Squares and oppositions are dynamic aspects that generate tension, but at the same time, they offer the possibility of taking advantage of that tension to make big changes and realign ourselves with our best version.

However, it is important to mention that the transformations driven by Pluto are not simple. They are chaotic, difficult, and non-linear processes . They involve stages of grief, and we know that grief is a process that includes moments of moving forward and backward interspersed . If this transit directly impacts your life, treat yourself with love and understanding, honor who you are and what you have learned so far. Do you need additional tips and to know what to expect from this process? Read all about it in this post to successfully navigate the transits of transpersonal planets .

At the Collective Level: Transformations with Pluto in Aquarius

Throughout history, Pluto in Aquarius has marked cycles of profound collective transformations that reflect the energies associated with both this planet and this sign. As a background, the following information discoveries and turning points have been observed in previous cycles of Pluto in Aquarius:

- Invention of astrology in Mesopotamia: First records of the development of astrology, with a focus on understanding the heavens and their influence on humanity (i.e. it is born as mundane astrology). In later cycles of Pluto in Aquarius, astrology undergoes refinements (birth of natal astrology) and becomes democratized (it was no longer just for royalty).

- Invention of paper in China (105 AD) : An advance that allowed the diffusion of knowledge and facilitated the transmission of ideas on a mass scale. Not only that, but over time it also transformed finance because banknotes could begin to be printed. In short, anything that is said here is not enough to reflect the impact of one of the most important inventions in the history of humanity.

- Herschel Discovers Uranus (1781): A discovery that expanded the vision of the known universe, the possibilities of technology (it was discovered with a telescope) and scientific methodology.

On a political and social level, the last transit of Pluto in Aquarius (1777-1798) witnessed events that redefined the course of history:

- Independence of the United States: A key moment that marked the beginning of a new geopolitical era.

- French Revolution and the Reign of Terror : A revolution that led to the fall of the monarchy in France and a radical reorganization of the social structure, although it was also marked by a period of great control of the population, violence and chaos.

What Transformations Will We See in the World With This Cycle?

As we discussed earlier, Aquarius will be the sign most impacted by the transit of Pluto, and everything ruled by this sign will experience profound changes. However, Pluto's influence will not be limited to Aquarius alone. The square relationship that Pluto will form with Taurus and Scorpio will also bring about significant transformations in the areas ruled by these signs , although not in such an intense way as in Aquarius. These squares will bring tension and challenges that will drive necessary and profound changes in humanity.

Pluto will also form an opposition to Leo, which means that the areas associated with this sign will also be affected and will undergo transformation processes. Although these energies interact differently, each will face the influence of Pluto from its own nature and rulerships.

Below are the situations and possible transformations that we will probably see in the world:

Aquarian Transformations

- Democracy Versus Autocracy:

Governments are likely to emerge that, in the name of freedom and progress, will seize power in an autocratic manner and, under that banner, seek to subjugate and control the population. These tensions will be central to making a change and thinking about democracy in a way that is more in tune with the times and with the common good in mind.

- Information-Based Control of Large Crowds:

The agendas of some powers (not necessarily governments) could be intensified through the use of media, journalism and disinformation campaigns to influence public opinion and maintain social control.

- Superficial Information Consumption and Less Critical Thinking:

There is the potential that, with Pluto in Aquarius, the tendency towards consuming fast and superficial content on social media will intensify. This preference for brief and simplified information inevitably ends up affecting the capacity for critical thinking and deep analysis in the population. By prioritizing immediacy over depth, there is a risk that people will become more susceptible to manipulation and mass control through information. Of course, we must aspire not to fall into this and use Pluto's energy to delve deeper into information instead of staying on the superficial , since this is precisely what makes us lose our power.

- The Darkest Side of Science and Technology:

With the advancement of biotechnology and artificial intelligence, there is a risk that these developments will be used for harmful purposes that were not the initial intention at the time of their creation; such as the development of biological weapons, mass surveillance systems or that we simply end up preferring to interact with artificial intelligences instead of humans, among many other possibilities.

- Power and Control Associated with Technology:

The influence of large technology corporations, as seen in the power of companies that manage social media and communication platforms, could intensify, affecting privacy and individual autonomy.

- Release of Large Reserves of Previously Hidden Information:

It is highly likely that we will see more leaks of classified documents and the revelation of truly shocking secret data.

- Information Coming from "Outside" that is Integrated into Mass Knowledge:

In previous cycles of Pluto in Aquarius, for us in the West, that foreign place, that "other" from where advanced technology came was China (the invention of paper and silk). Who will that "other" be now? Artificial Intelligence? Species from other planets?

- Advances in Astrology:

Pluto in Aquarius could bring significant advances in astrology, such as the discovery of new planets or changes in astrological understanding if humanity begins to inhabit different moons or planets (the geocentric model we currently use would become obsolete).

- New Technologies that Transform the Structure of Society:

The increasing implementation of artificial intelligence in jobs and social processes will redefine the labour market and the way societies function. There are professions and trades that will probably end, giving rise to an unemployment and re-employment crisis.

- Advancement of Technologies for Death and Destruction (War Contexts or the Mass Use of Euthanasia):

Global tensions could fuel the development of new technological weapons, while the debate over euthanasia and the use of end-of-life technologies could intensify.

- Aeronautical and Space Industry:

The expansion of the aeronautical industry into space could culminate in the first attempts to establish bases outside of Earth, especially when Uranus enters Cancer.

- Mass Media and Internet:

There could be a collapse of traditional media, or a crisis in the provision of internet to give way to a form of information dissemination more aligned with the needs and current situation of the population.

- Electronics and Technology:

The development of new technologies and gadgets may continue to make daily life easier, but it may also increase dependency and raise questions about the nature of humanity.

- Friendships and Groups:

Opinions will become more radical, potentially leading to the dissolution of existing groups and organizations and the birth of new ones.

- Regions Ruled by Aquarius:

Places like Sweden, Iran, Israel, Palestine, and cities like Los Angeles (California) will likely experience profound transformations.

- Nuclear Physics:

This field could see major breakthroughs or discoveries; the development of new forms of energy or application of nuclear physics could revolutionize our understanding.

- Waves and Transmissions:

A new way of transmitting knowledge could emerge, potentially exploring unknown capabilities of the human mind.

- Intense Class Struggle:

Growing economic inequalities and social protests in different countries could reflect a new wave of movements demanding a redistribution of resources and changes in the economic structure.

- New Means of Transportation for Short Trips, Especially When Uranus is in Gemini (2025-2033):

The development of new modes of transport (probably air) and the advancement in the electric consumer automotive industry will be enormous.

Bullfighting Transformations

Among the aspects of society ruled by Taurus that could be transformed are:

- Art, Music and Beauty:

The question of “What is art?” will become central. With the advancement of artificial intelligence capable of creating works that could previously only be done by humans, debate will arise over what constitutes true art and whether beauty must originate from humans to be considered authentic. This transition could challenge traditional notions of art and change how we appreciate and define it.

- Australia:

As a country ruled by Taurus, Australia could face significant transformations, which could involve political, social or technological changes and environmental sustainability.

- Banks and Finance:

There will be a strong impact on the banking sector, with the implementation of new technologies and changes in the way financial information is managed and presented. Humanity's relationship with money could change radically, moving towards more digital and decentralized economic models.

- Food and Agriculture:

Crops, grains and livestock farming could all be influenced by advanced technology, such as the use of robots for food harvesting and automation in animal husbandry. These innovations could profoundly change the way food is produced and distributed, with implications for sustainability and food security.

- New York:

This city, ruled by Taurus, could face profound transformations that could range from changes in its economic structure to social and technological adaptations, redefining its role as a financial and cultural epicenter.

- Possessions and Security:

The perception of possessions could change. What once gave us security could no longer do so, leading humanity to focus its obsession on more abstract ideas and concepts rather than material goods.

- Wales:

This country will also experience important changes, possibly related to political, social or economic issues.

Leonine Transformations

During the transit of Pluto in Aquarius, the areas ruled by Leo will experience profound transformations that will question and redefine the essence of what they represent.

- Entertainment:

Entertainment will undergo a significant change: from live experiences such as concerts and events, to the creation of virtual realities that allow immersive interactions without physical contact, to cinema and all other forms of entertainment. Forms of entertainment that were previously unthinkable will be born.

- Fatherhood and the Masculine:

Fatherhood and male roles will be redefined. Pluto in Aquarius could encourage a rebalancing of power between men and women in the family and social spheres.

- Celebrities:

Celebrities are likely to experience a loss of relevance or popularity. While they won’t disappear, the concept of “being special” and standing above others could become diluted, as Aquarius emphasizes equality and a sense of community over individualism.

- France, Rome and Miami:

These places, ruled by Leo, could face significant social, political or economic changes during this transit.

- The Monarchs and the Monarchies:

Pluto in Aquarius will trigger the downfall of monarchies that do not adapt to the new times. Those that represent an outdated model of hierarchy could find their end.

- Pleasure:

The definition of pleasure could be transformed. The question will be raised as to whether pleasure comes from human interaction or virtual experiences. The search for real connections could come into conflict with an increasingly digitalized world.

- Politicians and Presidents:

Many political figures could lose their power or relevance, especially leaders from older generations, such as baby boomers . The need for more horizontal and less authoritarian leadership will gain ground.

- The Luxury Industry:

Luxury brands are likely to lose relevance. The desire for differentiation and status could be replaced by a more egalitarian and rational approach. This could lead to the bankruptcy of many brands and a change in how luxury is perceived.

- Sporting Events, Especially Football:

The way sporting events are experienced will change, with the introduction of technology that allows for more virtual or interactive experiences. With regard to football in particular, not only the game itself and the matches will be transformed but also the structure of FIFA.

- Thrones and Successions:

For those monarchies that remain standing, the lines of succession could be altered.

- The Vatican:

Difficult times are coming for the Vatican. The scandals will no longer be caused exclusively by the cases of abuse that we have been hearing about, but will also extend to finances and political power.

- Youth:

An existential crisis is likely to emerge among young people, questioning their place in a world where technology and robots replace human functions and redefine aspirations and goals.

Scorpio Transformations

During the transit of Pluto in Aquarius, the following areas ruled by Scorpio will experience profound changes and shocking revelations:

- Brazil and Catalonia:

These regions could undergo significant transformation processes, redefining their political and social situation. They will probably never be the same again.

- Chemistry as a Science:

Advances and changes are expected in the field of chemistry, possibly related to discoveries that will impact both academic and industrial levels.

- Death and the Dead:

Humanity's relationship with death will change dramatically. Debates about euthanasia and the choice to die could intensify, and new perspectives on life after death or contact with other planes of existence could emerge.

- Espionage:

This period could be marked by controversies surrounding espionage cases, with situations coming to light and causing scandal and confusion on a global level.

- The Laboratories:

A purge could be experienced in laboratories and research centres, especially with regard to the political and economic interests that control them. Transparency and ethics could be central issues.

- Vulnerable Populations:

The plight and suffering of vulnerable populations in different countries is likely to be brought to light more clearly, revealing differences in quality of life and fostering debates about social justice and equity.

- Medicine:

Medicine will undergo profound transformations, with the possible collaboration of artificial intelligence in the early detection of diseases such as cancer and the discovery of new compounds and treatment methodologies.

- Psychiatry:

This field could also be transformed, with new approaches to treating mental disorders and greater use of advanced technologies.

- Research and the Scientific Method:

Research protocol and methods could change, with a focus on greater transparency and a revolution in the way scientific studies are conducted (a lot of information will come to light here regarding studies done in conflict with ethics).

- Huge Secrets:

This transit will be marked by the revelation of secrets at the government level and in other areas, changing the perception of the world and showing a different reality than the one we thought we knew. The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in 2025 will be a key moment in which significant truths are revealed, dismantling collective illusions.

- Sexual Relations:

The perception of sexual relations could change, with a possible decline in their attractiveness and a focus on other priorities, which could contribute to an even greater decline in birth rates, especially in industrialized countries.

- Surgeries:

We are likely to see technological advances in the field of surgery, improving the precision and results of medical procedures.

- Taxes:

Reforms and changes in the tax structure could emerge, reflecting a more equitable approach or adapting to new economic realities.

- Tokyo:

This city ruled by Scorpio will experience significant transformations, whether politically, climatically or demographically.

- The Tyrannies:

While autocracies may initially appear to be gaining strength under the guise of equality and freedom, Pluto in Aquarius could trigger a transformation in which these tyrannies are exposed and challenged, revealing the true nature of their intentions.
