It’s finally time—we are officially leaving the past in the past and moving forward into a new era! Every couple of decades, the slow-as-molasses planet, Pluto, shifts into a new sign, marking the end of one generational energy and kickstarting a new one. This energy isn’t entirely unfamiliar, as we’ve been exposed to small doses of what the next 20 years might look like.

Aquarian energy first made its entrance in March 2023 for a few months before Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn. The planet of rebirth and transformation continued this pattern again in January 2024, but will finally settle into Aquarius for the long haul on November 19, 2024. Combining Pluto’s transformative power with Aquarius’s rebellious spirit promises revolutionary changes for the collective.

Since 2008, Pluto in Capricorn has brought change on a structural level, reshaping facets of life in a big way. This transit led us through economic crises, royal weddings and funerals, a global pandemic, and more. The past sixteen years have left us questioning whether the systems governing us serve us or restrict our sovereignty. As we shift into Aquarius, it’s crucial to carry these lessons with us as we welcome this fresh, more liberated feeling.

Pluto’s journey through Aquarius is an invitation to dissect outdated traditions and examine them critically. This shift from Capricorn to Aquarius may be a bumpy ride, moving from rigid bureaucracy to a “for the people” ethos. Pluto in Aquarius calls on us to question systems in our lives—whether financial institutions, governments, or social structures—and consider whether they still serve us.

One of the biggest shifts seen so far with Pluto’s dip into Aquarius has been technological. Cryptocurrency has shaken up traditional banking, and the emergence of artificial intelligence has many wondering how it might impact the workforce. Social media has also evolved rapidly, breaking barriers of communication and transforming how information is shared worldwide.

Beyond technology, Aquarius rules society—and if you read the news, you know the tea. Technological advances have allowed information to spread more rapidly and accessibly, fostering empathy in the collective. From heartwarming rescue videos to global climate protests, Pluto in Aquarius encourages us to love our neighbors, whether they live two doors down or on the other side of the planet. With Aquarius ruling utopian ideals, we can expect the next 20 years to bring significant social advancements that promote equity and opportunity for all.

Any Plutonian shift is intense; it’s the planet of rebirth, after all. While the first dose of Pluto in Aquarius may have felt rough, the signs are there: we’re inching closer to a future that feels a little more Jetsons-esque. This horoscope offers guidance until 2044, so keep it as a touchstone for reflection over the next two decades. As always, read your rising sign for the most accurate interpretation. Sending you all the best, chickadee!
