Week Ahead Astrology

On Tuesday, Pluto re-enters the sign of Aquarius and will stay in the sign until 2044. A new era begins as the planet of power, death and rebirth enters the fixed air sign, influencing all fixed signs placements in our Natal charts. Notice what placements you have in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius as these signs will feel the energy shift the most during the long transit of Pluto in Aquarius.

Pluto is an outer planet, and its transit through a sign takes quite a long time. Time will tell exactly what lessons Pluto in Aquarius brings to us individually and collectively. However, we can begin to see some clues on a global scale. For example, when Pluto entered Aquarius for the first time back in March 23rd – June 11th, 2023 we saw several fixed air signatures began to rise. For example, there was a reported increase in tornado activity namely “the tornado (fixed air) outbreak” in the Midwest late march and early April 2023. We also saw the rise of Artificial Intelligence in the news and social media during spring and summer of 2023. In addition, we saw the rise of space travel initiatives in March and April 2023: NASA announced the first crewed mission of the Artemis Program, which would send humans back to the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17; SpaceX launches the first test flight of Starship, the largest and most powerful launch vehicle to ever fly, from Starbase in South Texas. The vehicle successfully launched but exploded four minutes into liftoff.  

Aquarius is a sign interested in progress, originality and innovation, particularly interested in advances in science, medicine, space and Artificial Intelligence. We can expect more advances in these fields as well as the blurring of the line between humans and machines. We can also expect more tornado activity as well as more use of wind and nuclear power in society.

On a more personal level, Pluto in Aquarius teaches us about the power of intellect, freedom, social change, community and friendship. We may feel pulled to expand our friendship groups, join social causes and like-minded group organizations, and explore ways of creating more freedom and independence in our lives. While Pluto is in Aquarius, we can learn new things (expand our intellect) and seek new experiences that help us connect with others (create more community). Notice what placements you have in the air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) as these placements will be favorable at this time. Expect more blogs in the future on the Pluto in Aquarius transit.

On Thursday, the Sun returns to its annual visit to the sign of Sagittarius. The Sun ingress into Sagittarius is beneficial for all fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius). Also on this day, the Sun sextiles Pluto and we have an opportunity to get optimistic and hopeful about the future. However, the Moon in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius from Wednesday through Friday, invites us to acknowledge our feelings, emotions and intuition. Take time to listen to your heart and notice how you feel. Listen to life and notice what is coming up for you as the week unfolds.

Mercury in Sagittarius is preparing to go retrograde next week. So, we may feel inclined to go inward and listen to our mind and heart as we explore our next steps into next year. Take your time, journal and remember we are in autumn season (in the northern hemisphere). This is a season of letting go, picking up the harvest and thinking ahead about what we wish to plant in the spring.

This is a powerful time to notice what changes you are inspired to make in your life. The Sun in Sagittarius will help us get fired up about the holiday season and the new year ahead of us. Stay present and inspired.

Expect another blog at the end of the week. Thank you for your support. Follow me for more on Instagram and YouTube @anamariapinedacom
