Pluto, the planet of transformation, has been retrograde for a few months and will turn direct into Capricorn on October 11, 2024.
This is a very important shift, as it is the last time Pluto will turn direct in Capricorn in our lifetime. In mid-November he will leave this sign for good and not return until two centuries later.
Pluto first arrived in Capricorn in 2008, and since then we have all been on a certain journey, trying to figure out how to work with the systems already in place, and at the same time asking ourselves whether they really work for us, and if so if not, what should we do to improve them? Next month is our last chance to resolve these issues before Pluto moves into Aquarius for nearly twenty years, a cycle that will usher in a whole new world order.

About Pluto’s transit of Capricorn
Pluto takes a long time to transit through one zodiac sign, the longest of all the planets, and along the way Pluto brings passionate, intense energy to transform and empower.
Since Pluto spends a long period of time in each sign, he is indoors Ibex since 2008, so more than ten years. Capricorn is an earth sign (along with Taurus and Virgo), which determines our goals, careers and direction, so Pluto in Capricorn has us transforming where we go and what we achieve.
Capricorn also rules governments, corporations and basically anyone in charge, so we’ve rightly seen some major upheavals and changes in this area over the last fifteen years. Capricorn rules the status quo and traditional ways, and we are also challenged to transform what has always been and think about what could be.
Pluto is nearing the end of his time Ibex. We are in the last leg of Pluto in Capricorn from September 1 to November 19, 2024.
Now that we have just a little more time left of Pluto in Capricorn, we are finishing up transformations that have already begun, and we want to get everything done before we move on to Pluto in Aquarius. That’s the beginning of a whole new Pluto cycle, but we need to end the Pluto in Capricorn cycle first.
With Pluto direct we are now in forward motion again (retrograde motion means it looks like it is moving backwards). We’re entering the new cycle for good next year, and now we’re wrapping things up.

Aquarius

However, this may now begin to change as others begin to notice how much you have changed, how much you have accomplished, or how much you have built. Something may come to the surface, and you may now be seen as powerful. Pluto moving into your sign means you are seen for the force that you are, so work on being comfortable with that.

This is the end of one cycle as we prepare for the beginning of another, and it can sometimes be challenging to adjust to that. Give yourself the space and time to do this, and show some compassion if you don’t get it right away.
Pluto moves on, and so do we, and this space is now one to finish what has been started and get ready for the new that is to come: Pluto in Aquarius!
