Aquarius Rising/ASC & Sun
Aquarians are about to go through a big 20 year cycle of Pluto restructuring, renewal and regeneration, of the self, the soul, the identity, purpose, and for many their career, public role and reputation.
This could mean so many things will Pluto. One thing that is common is a inward exploration of our psyche, our psychological makeup, which can involve our past traumas, wounding, our fears and coping mechanisms we have developed. Its certainly a good time for therapy, shadow work, inner child work, and studying psychology or astrology.
Pluto asks of us to become more authentic, soulful and empowered, through a purging and releasing of all that is not ours, or does not align with our soul path. Pluto brings ‘riches’ but does ask for a sacrifice. It asks of us to go through a reset, which can be a challenging time, a metaphorical death of our old selves or lives (but remember this is a slower transit, which takes time).
Themes of death, literally or metaphorically can arise, and this can refer to an ego death, where we become more real, raw, and vulnerable in our expression (or our relationships).
There is nothing to fear with Pluto, this regenerative process of dramatic changes will lead to deeper, richer, and more fulfilling experiences and put us in touch with healing and renewing forces. Pluto is a fertile and powerful archetype that we can best understand if we remember to trust the process, to embrace the dark as well as the light, and know that fresh, new pastures (with new opportunities and connections) will fill the spaces where a necessary burning away had to occur.
Mars retrograde in Cancer will highlight health matters, daily work and daily routines/habits, which can usually involve family too. It is important to take note of any stress, other symptoms or conflicts going on here, make positive changes and integrate the lessons. (Mars Rx in Leo, your 7th house of love, will also finish up on January 6th, where changes, review and conflicts have come into focus in your closest relationships, or business partnership. This has been an ego check where we have been looking at power dynamics in these areas).
Venus retrograde in your 3rd and 2nd houses from March 27th, will focus in on short travel, siblings, your local community, and finances, possessions, resources and skills. You might reconnect with old family members, cousins or revisit some places you have been to in the past. Finances and income could face some changes, such as making some purchases, like a new car perhaps.
In May and June, Saturn and Jupiter change signs. Saturn will move into your 3rd house, placing some obstacles, challenges or restrictions in siblings lives, or around short trips, or even bringing a more serious, cautious and mature thinking style. Jupiter into the 6th house could bring a fortunate, new pet into your life, or assist in expanding your knowledge around health routines.
Eclipses will be bringing some shifts, changes, endings and new beginnings into the 3rd house Aries, and 2nd and 8th houses of Pisces and Virgo.
