We transform. How we think, how we relate to others, how we conceptualize ourselves, what we value—all of this morphs over time and in response to new knowledge and experience. In astrology, Pluto transits describe this essential aspect of the human experience.
Pluto transits are slow. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to make 1 revolution around the Sun, so it ends up spending years in each individual sign. On an individual level, as Pluto transits through a sign, it is highlighting a slow-moving transformation that is happening in the aspects of life that sign contains in your birth chart. However you began a Pluto transit, major changes will have occurred by the time it’s done with that part of your life.
On September 1st, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn, where it’ll hang out until November 19. From 2008 until January 2024, Pluto has been transiting Capricorn. This is Pluto’s last sojourn in Capricorn in our lifetimes. Think of this quick dip back intro the cardinal earth sign like an encore—one final song before the concert is over. What final message does Pluto have for you about the areas of your life that reside in Capricorn (see the second image to see what areas of your life are impacted)?
Since 2008, what have been the major themes and changes in the areas of your life that reside in Capricorn? What were your values in this part of your life, and how have they shifted? Transformation is rarely linear—have you tried different approaches in these areas of life over the years? What worked and what didn’t? What felt good, and what didn’t? What changes to your values, beliefs, or actions do you want to continue? What do you want to leave in the past?
