Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius from May 4 to October 13, 2025
Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius from May 4 to October 13, 2025
Pluto goes retrograde from May 4 at 3°49 Aquarius and descends to 1º22 Aquarius on October 13, 2025. This is the first time that Pluto retrograde begins and ends in Aquarius.
Pluto is retrograde for about 5 months per year.
Even though Pluto is a dwarf planet, Pluto has a huge impact on our lives here on Earth, individually and collectively, including countries and power structures.
Pluto is the last of the three outer planets in our solar system, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Uranus breaks, Neptune dissolves and Pluto destroys.
In ancient Greek mythology, Pluto (known as Hades) rules the underworld, the realm of the dead and the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Pluto’s soul depth also holds treasures from Mother Earth such as precious metals, gemstones, earth metals, minerals, gold, silver, oil, minerals and the hidden riches within ourselves.
Pluto is also associated with nuclear symbols, such as uranium, nuclear energy and radiation.
Pluto is primal force, fear, survival, deep transformation, death, rebirth and all that cannot explained.
The emphasis during this Pluto retrograde cycle in Aquarius is on collective change, societal reform and the breakdown of outdated structures, technological advancement and a redefinition of societal norms.
Pluto retrograde invites us to explore the depths of our psyche to confront what lies beneath the surface to gain insight into self-destructive tendencies, the need for control and the search for truth.
As the ruler of Scorpio, retrograde Pluto brings to the surface themes of sex, finances, death, control, abuse and obsessive behavior, manipulation and victimhood.
We may be faced with spiritual pain, fear, feelings we cannot explain, the end of relationships, careers or life stages, which can bring about feelings of isolation and reflection on our own mortality.
In this time of societal shifts and personal challenges, we may use the Plutonian transformative power to free ourselves from what no longer serves us by reviewing, reflecting and reassessing various aspects of our lives.
The journey through the darkness can lead to incredible enlightenment, wholeness, renewal, growth, healing, clarity and perspective.
Allow the journey within and allow the silent metamorphosis that takes place in the dark, like precious gemstones forming deep within the earth’s crust, waiting to be discovered.
