PLUTO ENDS HIS FINAL RETROGRADE PERIOD IN CAPRICORN 11-12 OCTOBER 2024

PLUTO ENDS HIS FINAL RETROGRADE PERIOD IN CAPRICORN 

….the soul-searching is over, time to transform!

Pluto will station direct for the final time in Capricorn at 29°38’ (antiscion 00°22’ Sagittarius) after just over 5 months of being retrograde and will enter Aquarius for the long haul on 19 November.

Persons with planets or angles between 26-30° of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) will be most affected by this station. It’s the final trial for those with planets or angles in the final degrees of the Cardinal signs….what a ride this has been! Want to tell your story?

Pluto is concerned with power, regeneration, survival, transformation, sex, obsession and possessiveness. Pluto is the god of the Underworld. Pluto in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) is concerned with the deep-reaching transformation of social order, laws and hierarchies. He often works subtly (in our psyche) but always relentlessly and he can be an over-achiever, by using his power and persuasion for his own means, in this Saturn-ruled sign.

During the Pluto retrograde period, matters that were previously too painful to face may have bubbled up from our unconsciousness and we may have met these in the physical realm where we were forced to deal with them. Pluto only forces us to confront and transform that which is in dire need of change. This period may also have provided us with the opportunity to find some of the latent sources of power inside ourselves allowing us to harness them in an appropriate way. Pluto shows us the reality of our limitations and even more so since it moved into Capricorn. The retrograde period has really been a huge invitation to become more fully aware of the resources we hide in our inner depths. Failure to do this could have led to external events that may have puzzled and/or distressed us as we took on the role of victim.

On a personal level, as well as the houses where Pluto is transiting in your chart you should also look to the houses ruled by Pluto (Scorpio) and the relative planets or angles.

The Sabian symbol for 30° Capricorn (so apt!): “A secret meeting of men responsible for executive decisions in world affairs.” Indicating the power to assume responsibility for crucial choices arrived at after mature discussions with those who share this power.

For the antiscion at 01° Sagittarius: “A Retired army veterans gather to reawaken old memories.” Indicating the will to reaffirm the value of the struggle upon which civilisation and group-achievements are founded.

“When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings.” Dean Jackson
