Pluto in Aquarius Transit : 2023 – 2043
Pluto entered Aquarius on March 23, 2023 for the first time since 1798.
It will stay in this fixed air sign for an incredible 20 years before shifting into Pisces.
Pluto is a very slow moving planet, taking around 20 years on average to move through just one given sign and 248 years to move through the Zodiac!
Therefore Pluto is considered to be a generational planet—meaning that a certain generation will have the same Pluto sign.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was between 1778 and 1798.
Its present shift into Aquarius is by far one of the most important transits of the year, and if you have any planets or important Birth Chart angles in Aquarius, it will no doubt be one of the most important transits of your life.
Pluto will only spend 3 months in Aquarius in 2023, but that’s enough to give us a preview of what’s about to come in the next 20 years.
Pluto will continue to go between Capricorn and Aquarius until November 2024, when it is going to ingress into Aquarius for good.
Pluto is considered to be one of the most challenging cosmic influences in Astrology.
It’s known as the Lord of the Underworld. Pluto rules the Zodiac sign of Scorpio and the 8th house of occult, death, taxes, loans, finances of others, sex and deep intimacy.
It represents what’s hidden beneath the surface, our deepest, darkest fears and desires.
Pluto’s energy is all about transformation, deep soul searching, death and rebirth.

Importance of Pluto Transits on an Individual Level
On a personal level, Pluto’s transits are considered to be highly transformative, very often difficult and uncomfortable, especially if they are touching personal planets and important angles in one’s Birth Chart.
The most important thing to remember is that Pluto demands ultimate authenticity.
We can no longer hide what’s not serving our highest good when Pluto knocks on our door.
Be it people, jobs, living conditions, or self sabotaging behaviour patterns.
The key to surviving and thriving during challenging Pluto transits is to embrace our shadow side and remove people and circumstances from our lives that are stopping us from reaching our highest potential.
It may sound pretty harsh, but the thing is if you procrastinate and don’t make any effort on your part to clean up your life, Pluto will do it for you in a forceful and rather painful way.
However, if we do the work, Pluto can activate the most profound inner strength and ability to deeply transform, rising from the ashes like a brand new person.
Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.
