What does Pluto’s retrograde motion mean?
Understanding how Pluto works when it is traveling forward can help you better comprehend what happens when Pluto is in retrograde motion. Pluto has a propensity to draw attention to the gloom that permeates daily existence. It can trigger power struggles, toxic situations, control concerns, or reveal sinister secrets in our relationships when it links up or squares off with other planets in the sky or in your natal chart, also known as your birth chart. When Pluto is direct, its effects are felt much more strongly on the outside.
The impacts of Pluto, though, are more internal, psychological, and emotional when it is retrograde. The planet that bears the name of the God of the Underworld will force you to examine and, hopefully, change your own harmful, destructive, and self-destructive habits, tendencies, and beliefs. Ideally, you will become more motivated to stop these obsessive habits or addictions during this time.
However, there is no assurance that you will experience this Pluto retrograde in a dramatically visible way, as there is with every astrological event. It’s important to keep in mind that Pluto moves slowly, so you’ll typically experience its influence in terms of patterns or mindsets rather than something obviously outward like communication, money, or love, even if it’s transiting a significant point in your natal chart. By fall, you might discover that Pluto’s prods and quest to rid the world of everything toxic have succeeded in giving you a fresh perspective and a sense of strength.
Which signs will be impacted by Pluto going backwards in 2021?
Do you recall when astronomers informed us that Pluto is no longer officially regarded as a planet? Well, if you were as dismayed by this news as I was, you could find the Plutonian viewpoint to be much more appealing. Pluto, after all, rules over rebirth and death. It stands for the transition that entails giving up and starting over. Pluto is not joking. Pluto is literally known as the deity of the underworld in Greek and Roman mythology, therefore its power should not be taken lightly.
Pluto is a planet of dominance, power, and of course, control. Pluto is present in everyone, therefore it’s up to you to decide when to harness its strength and when to restrain it. However, many of the power structures that Pluto has aided in building could become more weak when Pluto goes retrograde. A friend of yours may start to come across as a little bit manipulative. You can come to the realization that you don’t set adequate boundaries at work. You may even discover that you have a tendency to exert a lot of control over others, which will motivate you to address any underlying problems you may be experiencing. It’s time to establish new power dynamics once Pluto’s retrograde period is over. Will you allow yourself to be manipulated, or will you decide it’s time to reclaim your power?
On April 27, Pluto stationed retrograde at 26 degrees Capricorn. On October 6, at 24 degrees in the sign of strong, devoted, and authoritarian Capricorn, it will ultimately station direct. You’ll feel this shift the most if your birth chart includes a cardinal signAries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricornespecially if the cardinal is placed between 20 and 30 degrees. However, every sign will be able to take in the new intensity of Pluto.
