Pluto, the planet of transformation and truth, first entered the dynamic sign of Aquarius in March before its retrograde began this May. For everyone, this is the first moment in this lifetime that this energy will be felt so it’s incredibly powerful for manifesting newness and greater authenticity.
Pluto reveals, strips away, and allows you to be reborn. During this process, it will shift back into Capricorn for six months giving you a chance to evaluate how far you’ve grown and where to pour your energy for greater change.
By embracing this powerful energy to manifest what you really want, you allow yourself to bring the truth of yourself and your life to light. You leave the darkness of avoidance or self-sabotage.
Pluto retrograde is a time for honoring yourself and your ability to transmute any part of your shadow into a light you no longer try to dim. It’s a space of being welcomed home to your truth and the abundance that awaits you here.
