While the International Astronomical Union may have downgraded Pluto by adding the 'dwarf' as a prefix to its now redundant status as a planet, what Pluto -
now 2 decades into embracing its new status - continues to mean in the world of astrology, is still mammoth. And with its glacial and ominous energy? Sometimes terrifying. The planet went into retrograde earlier this week on May 6, and will be continuing its backspin right through to October 15. As of now, the planet with its glacial space is positioned at 5-degrees in Aquarius. By the end of its retrograde, it would have traversed its way back to 3-degrees in the air sign. Astrologer Amy from Sisters Village, explains how Pluto is the slowest orbiting planet and spends about half of the year in its retrograde period. Despite its relegated status, Pluto continues to be a great signifier for powerful change and growth that comes from illuminating aspects of our personality and life that we need to work on and through. In astrology it categorically represents profound transformation, rebirth, power and the subconscious, acting as a 'renewer' of sorts by destroying what no longer serves a purpose - creating something that does, on its ruins. Astrologer Helena Hathor breaks down which signs the Pluto Retrograde is most likely to make its impact felt on. As always, check for your Sun, Moon, Rising and Venus signs.
Cancer
For Cancer, the current Pluto Retrograde is truly like none other you have been through, given that Uranus is in Gemini kickstarting a new seven-year cycle. Hathor explains that the way you chose to invest your money will define how extensively your passive income comes through over the next seven years. For Cancers, this retrograde is about chucking the poverty mindset and tap into income sources that could potentially settle them for life.Capricorn
Capricorns are up for going through a complete metamorphosis of their personal finances. Hathor also confirms that this is explicitly in regard to your own personal income, and no version of shared income. That being said, Pluto is making a trine to Uranus in your 6th house of service, elevating what you bring to the table when it comes to your professional market value. You can also expect to feel significantly less sentimental about some possessions, prompting you to sell them.
Aries
The Pluto Retrograde is impacting Aries' 11th house - which is the house of gains. Hathora explains that with Uranus currently in your 3rd house of communication. She says: "What comes out of your mouth is literally how the money comes in." So the one rule of thumb, is to focus on networking - and be tactful about it.Libra
Pluto's retrograde in Aquarius with Uranus being in Gemini, works out well for Libras, given that you are an air sign. Put simply, you're upgrading yourself as a resource and pulling in friends who will add to your perceived status. Hathora even goes so far as to say that ultimately, it is the people that come in during this retrograde, who will help you upgrade your life.
