Get ready for a taste of transformative change as Pluto, the planet of transformation and healing, touches down in the sign of Aquarius. This is a major event as Pluto transits are decades long. The long-term Pluto in Capricorn transit has impacted the structure of our foundations both personally and collectively. With Pluto entering Aquarius from March 23 to June 11, this is a peek into one of the most important astrological events of the decade. Thus, It’s vital to take note of the key shifts in energy that occur during Pluto’s dip into Aquarius which will give us an idea of what’s up ahead once Pluto solidifies itself in Aquarius starting in January 2024 through March 2043.
Given that Pluto is an outer planet, its transits are usually longer than the personal planets such as the sun, moon, Venus, and Mercury. Typically, Pluto transits usually last anywhere between 15 to 20 years in a specific zodiac sign. Thus, the effect of a Pluto transit is long-term which is why it’s so significant when Pluto shifts into a new sign. The following are the official dates of the Pluto in Aquarius transit.

The Uranus-Pluto
The next 19-20 years of Pluto in Aquarius combine the breakthrough energy of Uranus with the transformative energy of Pluto. This is going to be an exceptionally transformative time for us collectively and personally when there will be leaps and bounds in consciousness that will advance us in a way that has never been experienced before. It is important to remember that Aquarius energy seeks beyond the self. This is an energy that is concerned with acknowledging one’s own uniqueness as well as the uniqueness of others. It’s essentially bringing power to the collective via the influence of Pluto.
Both personally and collectively, we’ve had our experience with understanding Aquarius energy given the recently ended Saturn in Aquarius transit. Learning how to use our energy wisely as it relates to society, the group, friendships, and associations as well as acknowledging the importance of science and technology and their effect on humanity was huge during this Saturn transit. It is no coincidence that Saturn in Aquarius transit occurs before the Pluto in Aquarius transit as we must be able to be accountable and responsible for how we use Aquarius energy especially since Pluto is going to be dishing out power to the regular everyday person as represented by Aquarius.
We can expect to see some amazingly transformative changes for ourselves as well as humanity which can include everything from how our society operates to the influence of technology and its implications on man which is already something that is deeply discussed. Get ready to go where no man has gone before where the power is distributed with equality. However, here’s the biggest question: can the people handle being in power and will we wield power in a way where everyone is equal and benefits? Time will tell during the Pluto in Aquarius transit.
Reforming Society
Under the long-term transit of Pluto in Aquarius, a total reforming of society is upon us. This is likely to happen in many ways, and true to the nature of Pluto, anything that is not beneficial to us personally and collectively will be torn down so that something more authentic can be constructed. The major reforms will be quite shocking like an earthquake shaking us up through all areas of society and even in politics. Given that Aquarius energy is highlighted, a shift away from elitist power structures where there are a few specific people ruling over others to a political system where the people in society have more say in how things are run is highlighted. This will be an interesting time to see how this takes place and how such a shift in the societal power dynamic occurs.
Friends, Groups & Power Struggles
Aquarius is all about the humanity that connects us all despite our differences. During the Pluto in Aquarius transit, the false ideas of what equality is will be decimated during this 19 to 20-year transit. While we as humans claim to want equality, even the most progressive can also be biased and exclusionary. Pluto in Aquarius breaks down the pretense related to friendships, groups, associations, and the faux equality interplay that occurs under the guise of being accepting of all. These aspects of Aquarius energy will be challenged so that we can eliminate anything that doesn’t truly live up to the highest expression of Aquarius energy. Upon breaking down the façade, we are able as people to personally and collectively rebuild a society where people are embraced truly for their differences hopefully without the power struggles of making one group, association, etc. greater than or lesser than the other.
Artificial Intelligence & Humanity
The impending influence of artificial intelligence on humanity is a highly debated topic that will amplify during the Pluto in Aquarius transit. Get ready to experience scientific breakthroughs that have the potential to totally transform the way we live. The combination of Uranus and Pluto ensures that many of these scientific and technological advances totally change the trajectory of how we live. The combination of Aquarius and Pluto is incredibly progressive and transformative, so anything that happens over the next 19 to 20 years when it comes to artificial intelligence, robotics, science, technology, etc. will change the landscape permanently.
We as humanity have to consider the far-reaching impacts of technology…for better or worse. From manipulating genes to the fear of intrusive artificial intelligence, these are all concerns associated with Pluto in Aquarius. Humanity will ultimately have to decide how to use these breakthrough advances to bring revolutionary, transformative experiences to all of mankind.
Ultimately, this brief encounter with Pluto in Aquarius for the next couple of months gives us a glimpse of what will occur for us personally and collectively when Pluto officially begins its transit of Aquarius in January 2024. The Aquarius influence requires that humanity be willing to go beyond the traditional so that we can achieve the power and what some may refer to as the transhuman experience that transforms us all. Get ready to have all of our values questioned. Get ready to really ask whether we are living in a space where everyone is treated the same because, after all, Aquarius is all about humanity and equality. Get ready to consider how scientific breakthroughs can benefit humanity while bringing forth ethical concerns. This is an exciting time coming for all of us as we get ready to experience explosive life and society-changing transformation that only Pluto in Aquarius can offer.
