The Pluto transit is one of the most transformative and intense planetary movements in astrology. When Pluto transits through any sign, it brings profound changes, deep transformation, and a powerful urge to purge and regenerate. For cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), this transit has a significant impact because these signs are the initiators of the zodiac and tend to feel the effects of outer planetary transits more strongly.
Pluto in Capricorn (2008–2024)
Since 2008, Pluto has been in Capricorn, which is an earth sign but a cardinal sign as well. During this transit, Pluto has been impacting all cardinal signs. Capricorn governs structures, authority, and long-term goals, so the influence of Pluto here has been about the destruction and rebuilding of societal and personal foundations. The impact on each cardinal sign during this transit is described below:
1. Aries (Pluto square your sign):
Aries has been experiencing a challenging square aspect with Pluto in Capricorn. Squares create tension and force action. For Aries, this period has been about power struggles, particularly in career and public life. Issues of control, authority, and personal empowerment have likely been major themes. The challenge has been to transform your approach to leadership, authority, and ambition, moving from impulsive actions to more strategic power plays.
2. Cancer (Pluto opposite your sign):
Pluto has been directly opposing Cancer, which has been an intense period of transformation, particularly in relationships. Oppositions often manifest through other people, so Cancer individuals may have faced power struggles with partners or authority figures. This transit challenges you to evolve your sense of security and emotional boundaries. It also calls for a deep emotional transformation, letting go of old patterns of dependency, and stepping into your own emotional power.
3. Libra (Pluto square your sign):
Like Aries, Libra has been dealing with a square aspect, but the focus for Libra has been more on personal versus relationship dynamics. Pluto's square to Libra challenges balance, fairness, and harmony. This can manifest as power struggles in partnerships, both personal and professional. The key transformation for Libra has been about learning how to assert power in relationships while maintaining fairness and diplomacy, and navigating the dynamics of control without losing your sense of self.
4. Capricorn (Pluto conjunct your sign):
Pluto transiting through Capricorn has had the most direct impact on Capricorn individuals. A conjunction is a blending of energies, so Pluto's energy of transformation, power, and regeneration has been felt in all areas of life. This has been a period of intense personal transformation, where many Capricorns have been forced to confront deep issues related to control, authority, and long-term goals. It’s a period of dismantling old structures (both internally and externally) and rebuilding them with greater integrity and purpose.
Upcoming Pluto in Aquarius (2023–2043)
Pluto briefly entered Aquarius in 2023 but will fully transition there in 2024. This will shift the focus of transformation from Capricorn's domains of structure and authority to Aquarius's domains of innovation, technology, and collective ideals. Here's how this upcoming transit might impact the cardinal signs:
1. Aries: Pluto will form a sextile to Aries, a more harmonious aspect. This suggests opportunities for growth and transformation through collaboration, innovation, and new social ideals. Aries can expect to pioneer in new ways, especially in areas related to technology, community efforts, and humanitarian causes.
2. Cancer: Pluto in Aquarius will form a quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect to Cancer, creating an awkward or uncomfortable energy. This transit may require adjustments in how Cancer nurtures others and navigates emotional security within a rapidly changing world. Transformation may come through shifts in family dynamics or societal roles.
3. Libra: Pluto in Aquarius will trine Libra, creating a supportive flow of energy. This can bring opportunities for Libra to align personal desires with collective goals, especially in the realms of relationships and social justice. The trine aspect helps Libra navigate power dynamics with greater ease and grace.
4. Capricorn: Pluto’s move into Aquarius will offer some relief to Capricorn, as it will no longer be conjunct your Sun. However, it will form a semi-sextile, which may bring subtle adjustments. Capricorn may need to reorient goals to align with the evolving social structures and innovations Pluto in Aquarius will bring.
In general, the Pluto transit pushes the cardinal signs to evolve and transform in ways that align with both their personal growth and the larger societal shifts. It’s a powerful period of deep change, where embracing transformation leads to empowerment and regeneration.
