Pluto’s Transformative Journey Through Aquarius

Astrology enthusiasts and open-minded individuals alike have speculated a great deal about what Pluto’s entry into Aquarius might bring. For one thing is certain: it will usher in profound changes.

It will finally make a farewell visit from September 1, 2043 to January 19, 2044. So this is quite a long period of about 20 years, and at this stage it is hard to be too specific, because the processes are too complex and long-range. However, some trends can be deduced from the nature of the planet and the sign, and from the events of the first brief visit from March 23 to June 11, 2023. Although the trans-Saturnian planets have no essential dignities, some astrologers believe that Pluto is in its fall in Aquarius. While I don’t necessarily agree, I find it quite reasonable …
