Pluto, the planet of seismic change and transformation, is stationing direct in the sign of Capricorn for the final time in our lifetimes on Friday, Oct. 11. This marks the end of its retrograde period and the beginning of its last stint in the sign known for strategy and legacy until Nov. 19. Pluto is known for its power and teaches that destruction is necessary for creation and all life comes from death.
Having spent the last 15 years in Capricorn, Pluto has highlighted financial systems, power dynamics, and authority figures. This time marks the end of an era for Pluto, signaling significant changes and transformations. The planet will be at its final degree in Capricorn, which signifies a fated and urgent energy that pushes for action and truth-telling. This transit can be seen as a purging of what holds back individuals.
Although Pluto leaving Capricorn might not have much impact on personal daily habits, it has broader implications for society. Pluto will be direct again, exposing dark truths and summoning those held accountable, as seen in recent cases involving celebrities such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Garth Brooks. Pluto’s influence coincides with election season, suggesting that hidden information may come to light. Astrologically, this transit is especially significant for people with personal planets in cardinal signs.
To understand how Pluto’s transit through Capricorn will affect you personally, you can look at the house ruled by Capricorn in your birth chart. Those with personal planets in the late degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn may feel this energy more intensely. Despite the turmoil that this transit may bring, it is ultimately a necessary process that will lead to rebirth and renewal as we enter the age of Aquarius. As Pluto moves into Aquarius, it signals a new beginning and fresh opportunities.
