With Pluto in Aquarius starting today, the astrology world is abuzz with predictions and speculations. Pluto is a slow-moving planet that stays in a sign for many years—decades in some cases. Pluto had been in Capricorn since 2008, and besides any retrograde activity, Pluto will now be in the sign of Aquarius until 2044.

Pluto is known as the planet of transformation, renewal, and rebirth. It is persistent and relentless. It is associated with the subconscious ways that we exert our power and try to gain control of our environment. In terms of the big picture, this transit through Aquarius is expected to bring radical changes worldwide in how we use technology and our concept of human rights, to name a couple of examples. It will affect each of us on a personal level, as well, according to where Aquarius is in your natal astrological chart.

Change can be difficult, but it can be made easier if you view these changes as opportunities to evolve. The lesson Pluto tries to teach is to step into your power in the areas of your life where you have felt powerless. Blessings to you during this Pluto transit.
