What Each Zodiac Sign Can Expect When Pluto Enters Aquarius (11/19)
Big changes are happening in the zodiac realm—Pluto is moving into Aquarius!
On November 19th, 2024, Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, destruction, and transformation, will change signs for the first time in eighteen years. Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal.
Pluto may be small, but its impact is far from it. Pluto tackles major themes of life, death, and profound shifts that fundamentally change who we are and how we view the world. Because it takes the longest time to switch zodiac signs, Pluto is often referred to as a “generational planet” (along with Uranus and Neptune) since its effects are seen more through a generation than an individual—however, where Pluto is located in your birth chart tells you the areas you will personally experience it.
For the last eighteen years, Pluto has been moving through the sign of Capricorn, which tackled themes of reviewing how we see “tradition” and transforming power structures and authority. Pluto exposed how things “have always been” don’t make them good systems, and examining them piece by piece lets us see what wasn’t working and what we could salvage going forward. So what happens when Pluto enters Aquarius? Aquarius is a humanitarian-focused sign that desires to do things differently and go against the grain. Pluto will ask us to examine where we fit in our community, but more importantly, what are we doing to help? The collective is on our minds during this period, and we are likely to see radical changes in the ways we show up for each other, as well as changes to technology and social structures that push us into new ways of engaging with the collective, rather than focusing solely on our selves.
While all of this may sound overwhelming, don’t worry—Pluto moves slowly, so we won’t experience these shifts all at once. They will play out over the next few decades, and we may not see the complete picture of things until Pluto ends its journey in Aquarius in 2043. However, it’s still good to be aware of how Pluto is shaping our lives so we can be open to and prepared to embrace it! Check your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what each sign can expect when Pluto enters Aquarius.
Aries
You’re learning the value of community and connections, Aries. Pluto enters your 11th House of Friendships and Networking, and it will change how you see yourself and where you fit in the world. You’re not afraid to take charge and go down your path alone—you want to set yourself apart from the crowd. However, Pluto is having you do a deep dive into how you see yourself, and helping you accept that accepting help and inviting others to connect with you opens more doors than you could imagine.
Taurus
Major changes are happening in your professional life, Taurus. Pluto moves into your 10th House of Career and Public Image, and you’re setting out to transform how you approach your career and long-term goals. You’re discovering your purpose and how you want to shape your life around it. If you’ve been pursuing paths out of convenience or because you were told it was the “only” way to go, you’ll challenge those notions over these next few decades. If your path doesn’t align with what you want or who you are, it will be a process of finding where the path is. You have more power and influence than you give yourself credit for, but now it’s time to genuinely examine underneath the surface and be willing to embrace it.
Gemini
You have some important lessons coming your way, Gemini. As Pluto moves into your 9th House of Philosophy, Travel, and Higher Education, you will see the world differently. The beliefs and mindsets you’ve clung so tightly to will be tested and completely restructured. Once you see a new perspective, going about business as usual is impossible. Pluto wants to feed into your natural curiosity, but it will take you farther than you could imagine as you dig deep beneath the surface and see things for how they are, not what you’ve assumed. You’ll gain wisdom through gains and losses, and your experiences may benefit others in the same boat, but remember that what works for one person won’t work for everyone. You may find that stepping outside your comfort zone will be both deeply challenging and rewarding, so be adaptable and open to what comes next.
Cancer
You’re entering a profoundly transformative era, Cancer. As Pluto moves into your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, you’re going on a journey of discovery and commitment that will put you to the test. Pluto is challenging the structures you rely upon for security, comfort, and intimacy and asking whether they truly provide these things. Sometimes, we become so hung up on certain bonds that we miss the signs that we aren’t at home or safe within them. Insecurities and repressed emotions are bound to rise to the surface, especially where other people are involved, but you have the opportunity to heal these areas and step into a more confident chapter of your life. Commitments you’ve made are likely to be tested, but those made to stand the test of time will work hard to remain, while others you need to accept weren’t ones you could rely on. You’ll feel pushed to your limits, but the growth you’ll experience will bring you closer to a more authentic version of yourself.
Leo
You’re discovering new layers to your relationships, Leo. Pluto moves into your 7th House of Partnerships, and you’ll spend these next few decades completely restructuring how you engage and understand your relationships. Due to Pluto’s intensity, you may find you’re introduced to intense, even challenging relationships that serve as a mirror for you to face your insecurities and fears in your connections. You may also find that the reasons and views you’ve held around relationships are broken down to examine and rebuild into something more sustainable. This may feel difficult at times, but the end goal is to address your issues and move forward into solid, strong connections that are meant to last. You deserve to have relationships you can depend on, and Pluto is ready to show you what is holding you back.
Virgo
You’re changing your daily life, Virgo, but its impact will be far-reaching. Pluto enters your 6th House of Habits, Routines, and Wellness, turning your attention to prioritizing your well-being and productivity in innovative ways. Bad habits and poor health choices are highlighted during this time, and it’s your responsibility to get things in order rather than ignoring them. It’s no longer acceptable to keep putting your health and wellness at risk, even in the name of productivity or helping others—you have to take care of yourself, too. You’ll also be able to notice errors and mistakes (in yourself and others) more precisely, but if you are too hypercritical or overreaching, know that you’ll be given a dose of reality to keep you in check. Your daily work life may change rapidly during this period, especially regarding your specific tasks and jobs, so take time to become adaptable and indispensable to your line of work, or start looking elsewhere to keep yourself relevant to technological advances.
Libra
You’re expressing yourself in bold, exciting ways, Libra. Pluto moves into your 5th House of Creativity and Pleasure, and the old ways you’ve approached these themes will experience significant shifts. Creatively, you’re breaking down the walls of how you’re expected to pursue and express yourself and embracing a liberated mindset—the projects you work toward now will feel deeply significant to your overall journey of self-discovery. Creation, as it relates to children, may play a major role in your life, especially if you choose to pursue family differently than usual or choose not to have children. Your legacy extends beyond procreation, and you can choose a different path if you desire. If you decide to have children, you could want to raise them differently than you were brought up. You’re also revisiting what pleasure means to you, and in love, you may feel more adventurous but also be prone to chasing after the excitement and the rush. You’re learning what makes you feel alive, and it will benefit you in the long run, but be mindful not to recklessly treat people solely as a vessel for your personal discovery—they have full, complex lives and desires, too.
Scorpio
You’re uncovering what home means to you, Scorpio. Pluto enters your 4th House of Home and Roots, so expect radical shifts in how you view your home, domesticity, and family. It’s possible your family instructed you in specific ways to navigate life and the paths you should choose, but ultimately, only we can forge our paths and take life into our hands. Pluto will shake the foundations you’ve grown accustomed to and push you to rebuild your own. Going against “tradition” or what we have always known can be terrifying, but deep down, you know you can’t keep choosing to live solely to appease others. This period will also bring to your attention childhood memories and triggers to the surface so you can work through them and heal. While these moments will be difficult, they will ultimately push you to work through and resolve the issues that have plagued you for so long. However, remember you don’t have to experience these things alone, so be willing to be honest and ask for help and understanding when you need it.
Sagittarius
You’re getting back to the basics, Sagittarius. As Pluto enters your 3rd House of Communication and Local Community, you’re challenged to rethink how you communicate and take in the information around you. You prefer to dream big and tend to speak more abstractly, but now you’re being challenged to be more focused and intentional with how you speak to others, and more focused on taking in information and committing it to memory. Not everything has to be overtly intellectual and complicated to hold weight. If you’re not willing to admit you can be wrong or don’t always know the correct answer, you’ll struggle much more immensely than if you can be open to being humbled and learning a thing or two. Your social circles may also feel more intentional—reconnection with old friends and redefining your relationships with siblings and neighbors will feel uniquely crucial during this time.
Capricorn
You’re altering your relationship with finances, Capricorn. While you may have a reputation for prioritizing money and work, Pluto moves into your 2nd House of Income and Values and is ready to shift your focus on these themes. You’re looking for ways to build your wealth, discover new skills, and budget your money to help you reach the life you envision. However, as Pluto is known to do, you’re viewing these things through an unorthodox lens, and sticking to “by the book” rules won’t get you as far as you’d like. You’ll be tasked to resolve debts and deal with irresponsible money habits before you can see much success, so be steady and determined to take care of any financial issues. Pluto will also challenge your tendency to associate your value with how much you make—your worth isn’t tied to the number in your bank account, so don’t lose yourself in your desire to save and make more money.
Aquarius
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you’re stepping into your power, Aquarius. Pluto is moving into your 1st House of Self and Identity, introducing a new era in how you express yourself. You’re known to go against the grain, but Pluto is taking this farther by having you strip down everything you’ve known about yourself to base level and ask yourself why you are the way you are. Self-improvement and transformation will play huge roles over the next eighteen years, and don’t be surprised if you find answers in unexpected places. You’re getting to know yourself on a deeper level, and people may not always understand the changes you’re going through. By the end of this period, though, you will feel much more confident in who you are and what you want out of your life.
Pisces
You’re taking a hard look at yourself, Pisces. As Pluto moves into your 12th House of Isolation and Subconscious, you’re preparing to undergo a journey of spiritual rejuvenation and healing, though it will be a process. You’re reflecting on your past and your choices in life, good and bad, and determining how they helped create the person you are. You may wrestle with guilt or shame involving certain circumstances in your past, but it’s essential to know that sitting in these emotions for too long may breed more self-sabotage than anything else. Facing our issues isn’t the same as dwelling on them without change. You may feel more reserved in your transformations and epiphanies, which may be for the best, as sometimes people may want to cause destruction rather than build you up. You’ll be facing repressed emotions and fears that may have governed your views of yourself for years, but rather than burying them, it’s time to dissect and examine them to figure out how to grow and heal. By the end of this period, you’ll feel more empowered to stand firm in your convictions, but it may be hard to see your progress until closer to the end.
