Pluto is in Retrograde from May 2nd to October 12th 2024.

Firstly what is a retrograde? 

A retrograde is when a planet appears to turn backward in the sky. This happens due to an optical illusion caused by differences in orbit. 

All the major planets (excluding the luminaries – the sun and the moon) go retrograde occasionally.

When planets turn retrograde the impact of the planet changes and the type of activities that are recommended change too.

What is a Pluto Retrograde all about?

Pluto is the planet of transformation, death and rebirth, and power and control and is ruled by the deep intense sign of Scorpio and the 8th House of Sex, Money, Power, and other people’s money.

Pluto can create major change in our lives particularly when certain people or situations no longer serve us. 

When you are going through a dark night of the soul or like you are burning everything down in your life – that’s Pluto exerting its influence in your life.

So when Pluto goes retrograde this is intensified and we tend to go deep and dark and embrace our shadow self.

During a Pluto Retrograde, we may feel very alone and isolated but it is creating space to tune into our intuition – our inner knowing.

A Pluto retrograde will expose the falsehoods in our lives, and we’ll have to face harsh truths that perhaps we didn’t want to accept before the retrograde.

But Pluto is asking us to transform out of our limiting beliefs and what is no longer serving us so that we can rise like a phoenix from the ashes anew and so much more powerful than before.
