When Pluto goes retrograde, it appears to move backward in the sky. In astrology, this is a signal to review, revise and revisit everything Pluto rules — transformation and power.
Pluto retrograde redirects the planet of transformation, power, and shadow work inward for deep psychological excavation. Astrologally, it is one of the most potent periods for confronting repressed trauma, addictive patterns, and the unconscious drives that control behavior from below the surface.
Power struggles in relationships and professional hierarchies intensify as hidden motivations surface into conscious awareness. Old wounds that seemed healed resurface with renewed urgency, demanding genuine resolution rather than temporary coping mechanisms.
Engage in shadow work therapy, intense introspection, or energetic clearing practices to process what Pluto brings to light. Do not resist the discomfort of transformation — it is the only path to authentic personal power.
Pluto retrograde is whispered among astrologers to be the underworld gate opening both ways, allowing ancestors and buried souls to walk among the living until the planet resumes its forward journey.
