Pluto in Aquarius ✨🌌♒Energies of the Week: November 18-24, 2024
“Chαined to the Algοrithm?”
This is the pivotal and transformative week that marks the beginning of a new era, one that is set to stay. It heralds the much-anticipated, significant shift of Pluto into Aquarius, where it will remain until 2043, initiating a new age with fresh consciousness, frequency, values, worldviews, and systems. These changes will gradually reshape our social fabric and our way of life.
As Pluto enters Aquarius, we are ushered into a period of radical transformation. Over the next few years, the planet of transformation will bring deep changes to humanity through Aquarius’s progressive, humanitarian, and reformist qualities.
We can expect a major reshaping of systems related to technology, science, politics, economy, and social structures. These shifts will redefine our ways of survival and growth, moving away from traditional protocols and the hierarchical system of Capricorn. Instead, the power will lie in knowledge, technology, interconnectedness, social networks, and decentralized authority, with the hope of granting more voices, rights, and empowerment to individuals and communities.
Thus, a new cycle begins for the collective. Pluto will redefine concepts like equality, freedom, solidarity, and individuality, key Aquarian values, echoing the Enlightenment period and the French and American Revolutions, which reshaped social, political, and philosophical norms.
Alongside the technological possibilities and the digital Renaissance promised by the new age, especially with Uranus moving into Gemini (2025-2032), Pluto in Aquarius will also reveal the darker side of technology, science, and emerging power centers, leading us to confront ethical dilemmas and the downfalls of our creations. We may face fears of losing our freedom, privacy, or employment, becoming enslaved by algοrithms and technological οligarchies and even witnessing phenomena of segregatiοn, isοlation, and populism.
Amidst these challenges, we will be invited to reflect on where we are relinquishing our collective power and rebuild a world that honors freedom and diversity within a united community, resonating with the Aquarian vision.
On a personal level, Pluto’s influence in your birth chart, the higher octave of Mars, and will, especially in the house it will occupy for the coming years will fuel powerful transformations. It will encourage the dismantling of outdated structures, making room for something new that will help you evolve. This process will involve existential tests, crises, power struggles, fears, obsessions, symbolic deaths, and profound transformations, all leading to empowerment and support from higher forces, with the ultimate aim of cleansing and rebirth.
Pluto, the planet governing death and transformation, will directly affect the Fixed signs—Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius. It will bring transparency, exposing subconscious and hidden matters for us to confront, and discover a new strength within. However, the changes and transformations may not be immediately visible, as Pluto’s influence is slow, hidden, and often subconscious, making it likely that we will only perceive these shifts later, after its passage through the affected degrees.
The ruler of the underworld that often takes us on a journey through the shadows so we can emerge and see the light again, through Aquarius, will lead us toward a more authentic path, helping us become freer and more autonomous personally, socially, professionally, and financially. While shaping a new Consciousness our place in the world, our intellectual and spiritual freedom, interconnection, and developing a new relationship with technology and progress.
Energies of the Week
Notably, the planetary aspects and energies of this week dominate the chart of Pluto’s entry into Aquarius on November 19, offering valuable insights into this transformative period, allowing us to reflect on our next steps and prepare for influences that will shape the years to come.
✨🌌On Monday, November 18, Mercury forms an opposition to Jupiter at 18° Sagittarius-Gemini, amplifying the desire for new ideas, more communication, information, and open discussions. This dynamic encourages us to expand our horizons, express ourselves more confidently, and passionately defend our beliefs, though we may later reconsider our positions.
Mercury is in its pre-shadow phase, moving slowly as it prepares for retrograde motion on November 26. This suggests we avoid major agreements and decisions that may require reexamination.
Given that Mercury and Jupiter are in mutual reception from detriment positions and Mercury is out of bounds, there could be grand ideas, expectations, and promises that lack realistic foundations, leading to communication mistakes, poor choices, and ideological clashes. Discussions in public or personal life could be marked by arguments, while social movements and protests advocating for change and reforms, particularly in media, transportation, and education, may intensify.
Under this influence, if you belong to the end of the second decan of Mutable signs (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces), it is wise to stay focused, listen before reacting, and maintain respect and balance when defending justice and truth.
✨🌌On Tuesday, November 19, just before Pluto enters Aquarius, the Sun forms a trine with retrograde Neptune at 27° Scorpio-Pisces, opening pathways to dreams and inspiration.This energy benefits especially those with placements between 26°-29° of Water and Earth signs, aligning them with their creative, spiritual, and artistic nature, and guiding them toward higher purposes. This is an excellent time to explore deeper aspects of existence, connect with other dimensions, and receive inspiration, meaning, and guidance for new cycles of creation.
With the trine between Mercury and Chiron on the same day at 19° Sagittarius-Aries, we are encouraged to heal mental wounds and unlock hidden potentials.This energy supports discovering and embracing capabilities that might not have been able to recognize before.
The Sun enters Sagittarius
✨🌌On Thursday, November 21, the Sun🎇 enters the optimistic and enthusiastic sign of Sagittarius♐ shifting our focus, desires, creativity, and outlook. It calls us to aim toward what inspires us, teaches us, expands our understanding, and gives us the freedom to explore new horizons for ourselves and the world.
This energy will lift the spirits of all Fire and Air signs for the next month, bringing a festive atmosphere and encouraging socialization, new knowledge, travel, and adventure that will foster personal growth.
On the same day, the first sextile of the Sun with Pluto in 0° Sagittarius- Aquarius offers transformative energy, bringing new strength and renewal to the early degrees of Fire and Air signs. This alignment may give you a chance to redefine and transform personal identity, roles, and relationships with communities, offering opportunities for personal reinvention and empowerment.
As Pluto enters Aquarius, this aspect signifies a powerful push toward transformation and renewal of both individual and collective consciousness in the New Age. It brings heightened willpower to overcome old patterns and limitations while embracing new ideas and spheres of action.
The Sun in Sagittarius in interaction with Pluto in Aquarius also suggests a kind of leadership that promotes truth, justice, and transparency, along with visions for a more just and progressive society.
✨🌌On Friday, November 22, time becomes our ally, rewarding long-term relationships, commitments, and emotional or financial investments. The Venus-Saturn sextile at 12° Capricorn-Pisces supports particularly the beginning of the second decan of Earth and Water signs, helping to build trust-based relationships, strengthen securities, make plans for the future, and prioritize self-care, wellness, and personal growth.
✨🌌On Saturday, November 23, the Moon in the Last Quarter 🌗 at 1°14’ Virgo♍, forming a square with Pluto in Aquarius, can be an emotional trigger for the early degrees of Mutable signs Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces, awakening subconscious insecurities and wounds. However, Virgo’s energy encourages us to address issues realistically and detoxify on all levels, to support well-being and growth.
The Mars-North Node trine at 4° Leo-Aries on the same day gives the fuel to create, take risks, and fight for goals that will move us forward and align us with our life’s path.
As the Sabian symbol for the North Node is ‘’A triangle with Wings’’ it suggests, we have what it takes to make the leap and fly toward new perspectives and purpose in the new age and this is just the beginning! Pluto permitting and the creeks don’t rise!
Ready to spread those wings?✨💫🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
