This decades-long Pluto transit is an opportunity to rejuvenate the mental sphere through the elimination of the negative social and cultural conditioning that has been hammered into us throughout life.
Pluto in Aquarius indicates the old system dying and the new system being birthed from the ashes. It represents the underworld of our collective thought structures.
Aquarius represents collective social groups. America is a Plutocracy (government ruled by the wealthy).
Have you fallen for their cultural programming? Are you a worker bee, a machine-like automaton, or a drone in an indifferent system that sees you as a number? Even if you are, you can liberate yourself from “the system” while Pluto transits through Aquarius – since the energies come barging through like a wrecking ball to the collective psyche.
Many people often feel “powerless” when Pluto is aspecting their chart in a difficult manner.
Ironically, they are the ones who have the MOST power. They just don’t see it.
Pluto governs that which is hidden from our view, far beneath the surface of the material. If you go deeper, if you choose to see the truth, raw and unfiltered, a wealth of
We find diamonds, minerals, and gems only beneath the earth.
Even if the world falls into chaos and madness, YOU can still live an amazing life.
You need to learn how to work WITH the cosmic forces rather than against them. Embrace the new energies coming into play here.
The Pros of Pluto in Aquarius:
- Rejuvenation and regeneration of fraternal bonds and social connections
- Powerful healing within the psyche of society
- Strong, unbreakable bonds of friendship
- Deeper sense of security in life by transcending material anxiety
- Elimination of hierarchical authoritative structures (kings and rulers)
The Downside of Pluto in Aquarius:
- Underworld of society and social media
- Power struggles on a massive socio-cultural scale
- Extremist ideologies and groups
- Habits of destruction and elimination by means of technology and science
- Groupthink, conformity, feeling controlled by social structures/technology
Pluto Aquarius Lesson #1: Authenticity
Find what makes you unique. Stop comparing yourself to other people. Aquarius marches to the beat of its own drum. Love that part of yourself.
This sign loves to run counter to the culture in order to break away from the old, archaic mold and embrace something powerfully new. The moment you do this, you unlock your power.
Pluto Aquarius Lesson #2: Work on Mental Health
Mental health will be the most treasured resource, a sign of true wealth and abundance.
The water bearer, Aquarius, is said to be tasked with bearing positive emotions and giving nourishment to others.
Aquarius is the person who builds a well for thirsty, impoverished people in a third-world country.
The Aquarian is a humanitarian who is interested in raising the collective good. Pluto goes deep into the subconscious mind, the buried parts of yourself, the shadow.
As the world continues down its current trajectory, there must either be true transformation in human consciousness or (God forbid) extinction due to a dysfunctional (out-of-control) human ego.
Pluto Aquarius Lesson #3: Find Community (In-Person)
Pluto moving through the sign of collective bonds and unity can make finding and building friendships difficult and downright impossible. So, the best thing to do during this time is to engage in real-world relationships and meetups.
Pluto in Aquarius for all 12 Zodiac Signs
No matter what area of life Pluto in Aquarius moves through, you MUST do the following:
- Relinquish ego attachments to the things of that house
- Address the deep-seated insecurities and shadows of that house
- Embrace transformation and rebirth through that area of life
- Spiritual growth and evolution will come through that particular house
Aries Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 11th House
Old friendships might resurrect themselves in your life suddenly and seemingly unexpectedly.
If you find yourself a bit of a loner now, don’t worry about it. You need this time to grow your soul and build yourself up.
Old friends “die” and leave your life. New friends come into your life. Your goals and your aspirations might see a dramatic shift. Your old ambitions and desires will fade away in place of new ones.
You may be called to revolutionize society and fundamentally change the cultural zeitgeist of the world at large.
Taurus Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 10th House
Are your relationships too fake or shallow? They’re going to be put to the test. Pluto governs your descendant and moves into your MC, the place of status and fame.
Take back your own power; otherwise, you’ll externalize it and draw yourself into power struggles with authority figures and bosses. The more you can embody the authenticity of your soul through what you DO in the world, the more abundant this Pluto transit will be.
Hot Tip: Keep your life clean and ethical. Don’t cheat anybody, or it will be made public. Pluto brings that which is hidden into full view when it’s in the 10th House.
This is one of (if not THE) most powerful Pluto transit to encounter because it deals with the angles of the horoscope, places of activity and manifestation.
Gemini Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 9th House
Pluto moves in an air sign, relatable to your natural element: inquisitive, curious, intellectual, and explorative. You are LONGING for more meaning and a deeper connection to your culture.
You might say — “Screw this! — and move overseas for a while to do service work or manage student loan debt.
You might get OBSESSED with learning and acquiring new information (nothing new for a Gemini). Don’t get too extreme with your beliefs, be it religious, spiritual, or political at this time.
This is an insanely creative transit where you’ll generate new inventions, ideas, and sparks of inspiration.
Cancer Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 8th House
You might completely rejuvenate your mind and body – experiencing a total renewal of your health. Your mind and creative potency will be at an all-time high!
Scorpio governs your 5th House of creativity and takes its energies into your 8th House, the place of psychological vulnerability, joint resources, sex, healing, research, occult, longevity, and…in-laws.
The more creative you are, the more you engage in child-like play, the longer you’ll live, and the more secure and stable your emotional body will be.
Leo Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 7th House
Leos are bound to change their life path and trajectory based upon colossal transformations through their relationships with other people.
Other people can emotionally trigger you at this time, but they don’t have to if you don’t let them. Your 4th House of emotions and home are moving their energies into the domain of relationships. However, Pluto’s nature is to move to extremes.
Be careful not to sell your soul to others just to feel emotionally secure during the next two decades. You might encounter people who are profound healers and advanced spiritual gurus.
On the other hand, you might encounter a lot of dudes from the underworld (dealers or gangsters). With Pluto, things can be black or white but never grey.
Virgo Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 6th House
Pluto transits through the sixth house of health and work.
This is a period when you’ll begin to apply the skills and talents needed to solve major problems (both in the world and in your personal life) and difficulties.
You may adopt technology to the extreme and make enormous strides in your work and in your health.
You may be drawn towards a healthcare career where you can make a meaningful impact and transform the lives of downtrodden people into something truly worthwhile.
Libra Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 5th House
Pluto moves through your house of romance, creativity, talent, and children. Destroy the old YOU and birth a more powerful, expressive, confident, and unique personality – the new YOU.
Leave a legacy. Finish that project. Create that work of art you’ve been mulling over for years now. Pluto will give you the chance to create something lasting and worthwhile.
On a different note, you may get entangled in intense romantic encounters. Pluto can give a lot of “50-shades-of-gray” types of engagements.
Eventually, you’ll probably have a child under this decades-long transit. Once you do, you’ll be 100% invested and obsessed with ensuring they are provided for and feel secure.
Scorpio Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 4th House
Pluto is your natural ruling planet (dwarf planet…granted), and it’s moving through your house of home, family, and emotional stability.
Your new divine calling will involve being responsible for transforming, building, and healing your homeland. You are going to be dealing with matters of emotional strength and security.
Sagittarius Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 3rd House
Pluto moves through your third house. You will master your skills and talents and your ability to communicate in a powerful, life-changing way to other people.
You will change how you look at the world. Because Pluto also looks at your 9th House, there may be an intense longing for a new spiritual belief system or more answers to life.
Capricorn Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 2nd House
Pluto moves through your second house of finances, material security, family, speech, and personal values. Pluto will test your self-worth. You’ll be obsessed with building your wealth and your material security. Remember to gain some perspective from the material at this time. Be mindful of your speech and what you say to others. Your words can cut deep at this time.
Because Scorpio governs your 11th House, you might gain millions of dollars in wealth. But before that comes, you need to release attachment and obsession. Allow. Trust. Let go.
Don’t get too obsessed over solely “making money” and “getting business deals done.” There are more ways to count wealth and abundance than just stacking dollars.
Aquarius Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 1st House
This is the classic “don’t mess with me” transit. Pluto is here to wake you up to your true power.
You might be thrust into a position of leadership or authority as it pertains to technology or large social organizations. Why? Scorpio is on your 10th House cusp, governing your fame and what you do in the public eye.
YOU, as a physical, embodied individual, are destined to become more self-sufficient with this transit.
Pluto doesn’t give a damn about material things. Pluto is after your soul.
Without Pluto’s influence, you could not undergo rapid spiritual development.
This can spell “BAD NEWS” for a fragile ego. If you think you are your career, your net worth, your reputation, or whatever else, Pluto comes in and slaps you upside the head.
“Wake Up,” he shouts. “You are missing your true calling.”
Pisces Ascendant / Pluto Aquarius Transit 12th House
Pluto, moving through the twelfth house, will uncover buried emotions and bring about a rejuvenated sense of spirituality, purpose, and awareness.
Why?
Pluto’s lordship over the sign of Scorpio, which sits in your natural dharmic house (the 9th house, where you find purpose and passion), will activate your sense of meaning and purpose through your subconscious.
Once you transform the depths of your psyche, you will emerge as a renewed, powerful force to be reckoned with.
Interpreting Pluto in Aquarius from Uranus’s Positional Transit
Uranus is the governing lord of Aquarius. It moves through THREE signs while Pluto is in Aquarius.
This is a FULL evolution of the higher creative mind within humanity as it spreads its energies through three modalities in three elements: air (thought), water (intuition), and fire (inspiration).
April 26, 2026: Uranus enters Gemini
The revolution of the mental sphere and collective ideas fuels the transformation of culture and society.
May 23, 2033: Uranus enters Cancer
Sudden, revelatory changes to the concept of family life and home life will feed into the broader transformation of our institutions and society.
May 16, 2040: Uranus enters Leo
Detriment. Uranus in Leo will create sudden breakdowns in government and power structures (Leo is the kingdom) which will end the final stages of Pluto in Aquarius as it fades into the next sign of spiritual liberation: Pisces.
Your Thoughts? Did this Help?
By examining the lord of Aquarius (Uranus) and its movements through all three modalities (mutable, cardinal, and fixed), we can see how the larger cosmic drama will play out in the coming years.
