Pluto retrograde in Aquarius

Pluto retrogrades are like that moment at the end of a Godzilla movie when the giant radioactive dinosaur decides to stop its rampage and return to the sea from whence it came. We like to tell ourselves that we overcame this primal force with our collective ingenuity, courage, and resourcefulness, but the truth is Pluto just decided to go underground again like cicadas after they’ve swarmed or a volcano that has stopped erupting. A modern planet is never as a strong as it is when first enters a zodiac sign and Pluto’s re-entrance into Aquarius at the end of 2024 certainly brought a lot of upset and upheaval to our society. Indeed the last time we went through something similar to this was the pandemic when Saturn, Pluto’s kid brother, was traveling through Aquarius. The questions, dilemmas, and unflattering truths that Pluto has laid bare are here to stay, but what we choose to do with that information is up to each of us. Consider yourself Godzilla free for the next five months, but remember that Pluto comes out of retrograde on October 13th. Signs most affected: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, And Aquarius
