Pluto is a slow yet methodical energy. Its objective is to unearth the darkness so that it may completely transform it into the light, a light that will lead the way toward your evolved existence in the new era.
Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius marks the beginning stages of The Age of Aquarius. Pluto will ingress into Aquarius on January 20, 2024, and remain there until September 1st. At which point it will retrograde back into Capricorn, and absolutely finish up any business it was handling in that area of your chart. Alas, by November 2024 it will make its way back into Aquarius and will stay there for the next 20 years completely transforming a new department of your life, for your greatest good!

It is very possible that you will meet new friends who could transform your life, or likewise you could be an agent of change for others.

Pisces or Pisces Rising; Pluto will push you to transform your spirituality and your ability to let go, to unblock yourself and make space for all new feelings and new understanding toward life. You may make use of your intuition in very conscious ways, staying engaged with your group of friends may take effort on your part now but that might serve you best as opposed to becoming too aloof and detached as this transit unfolds. Keeping too much to yourself will not serve your transformation. As you reflect deeply about your past, your hidden motives, those deep-rooted fears, and any self sabotage that occurred brings you face to face with consequences. However, the idea is for you to process the lessons so that you can release the past and transcend the deep emotions and turn them into wisdom. Any retreat from living life will not allow you to escape your feelings. Strengthen a positive attitude toward yourself so that you can deal with any false friends or false attitudes you have about yourself. You will be reborn as you free yourself from any pre-tense and step into your most authentic sense of yourself.
