Pluto in Aquarius

Personal Horoscopes

According to Evolutionary Astrology, as taught by Jeffrey Wolf Green, Uranus correlates to “Freedom from the known.” Uranus is the planet of “becoming.” Evolutionary pressures create currents of mental and emotional awareness, necessitating the development of a different way of being who we are… and who we are becoming. 

After a brief return to Capricorn from September to November of this year, Pluto will transit through Aquarius for the next 20 years.  Over that period, Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, underscoring Pluto’s expression, will cycle through the personal developmental archetypes of Gemini, Cancer, and Leo. Each of us will be shown new ways of personal and collective expression of how we develop and exercise our voice in the world, Gemini, our sense of emotional self-reliance and security, Cancer, and our personality as we grow our expression of who we are, Leo. 

These are horoscopes for Pluto’s 20-year transit through the twelve houses. The transit might span two houses of your natal chart.

The future is ripe with potential, but these are challenging times. The following horoscopes provide a basic overview of each house’s possible range of expression. No astrology can be one size fits all, no matter how good. Knowing what’s going on in your life and the highly individual particulars of your natal chart add a much deeper layer of understanding.

1st  HOUSE
Aries and the 1st House correlate to non-cognitive, instinctual self-expression. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your first house, circumstances will confront your existing modes of how you instinctively meet the world. Events, often unexpected, seeming to come out of left field, will awaken your natural tendency to identify and express your core individuality as unique and separate from existing consensus reality. Mental pressures for change can cause stress that disrupts your emotional sense of security, opening opportunities for new self-awareness and understanding. A new sense of who you are becoming will emerge. Freedom from the known in the first house necessitates not resisting the unexpected non-negotiable changes that will lead to developmental growth. 

2nd HOUSE

Taurus and the 2nd House correlate to recognizing what is essential for survival. What we need to survive translates into our values and their resulting personal priorities. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your second house, it will dislodge outmoded “bucket lists” to realign with the requisite needs of dramatically changing times. Defining what you deem essential for self-reliance and basic survival must be rewritten. A new bucket list will begin to emerge. Resistance to change and attempting to maintain the same life choices will precipitate cataclysms. The transit will affect the process of becoming more self-reliant with the recognition that the availability of the resources we take for granted is under pressure. Freedom from the known for a 2nd House Pluto in Aquarius transit means to refortify yourself to be as strong as you can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We will all need to learn to provide as much we can for survival on our own or through cooperative efforts with others, if possible. With Pluto transiting your 2nd house it will be at the top of your bucket list.

3rd HOUSE

The 3rd house and Gemini correlate to our understanding and connection to our immediate world and how we communicate with others in the scope of that understanding. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your 3rd house, you may experience unexpected changes in sibling relationships and friends you consider brothers and sisters. There could be significant changes to your neighborhood and close-in community. How we think and communicate our thoughts and ideas can encounter unexpected support or conflict. There is potential for new learning opportunities. You might be encouraged internally or by others to speak out and make your thoughts and ideas known through a public forum.  Freedom from the known in the third house means finding your voice and expressing the truth of who you are becoming.

4th HOUSE

The 4th house and Cancer correlate to our emotional nature, sense of safety and security, and family history. As Pluto in Aquarius transits the 4th house, be prepared for sudden, unexpected events threatening your sense of security. In general, familiarity with the world around you could be unstable. Something you take for granted that makes you feel secure might be threatened. It could correlate to losing a family member or someone who feels like family. Freedom from the known in the 4th house means finding emotional self-reliance in the face of outer world crises. 

5th HOUSE

When Pluto in Aquarius transits the 5th house, our sense of who we are, our identity, and our purpose in the world will change. The need to alter how we express our individuality will open pathways to new ways of being who we are. There can be changes to how we interact with the world with new occupations, new creativity, and a new way of being ourselves. Freedom from the known in the 5th house means adapting and allowing personal growth. 

6th HOUSE

Pluto in Aquarius, transiting the 6th house, will generate events and circumstances that require work on the self. Resistance to the changes will generate personal crises. Opportunities will arise to see yourself as part of something greater than the small world you were born into. Self-awareness will create self-criticism that, if acted upon, will lead to personal growth. Freedom from the known in the 6th house means recognizing what you need to do to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 

7th HOUSE

The 7th House and Libra are about our one-to-one relationships with others. Pluto in Aquarius in the 7th house will generate circumstances encouraging you to rebalance intimate and casual relationships. We see ourselves in the mirror of others. Relationships are ground zero for personal growth. As this transit progresses, opportunities will unfold that provide new perspectives concerning how you relate to others, exposing areas of your behavior responsible for relationship issues with others. New self-awareness is possible to the degree you are open to the revealed insights. Freedom from the know in the 7th house means seeing your reflection in the face of others. 

8th HOUSE

The 8th house and Scorpio bring us up close and personal with our most difficult personal issues. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your 8th house, be prepared for psychological and emotional encounters with yourself through interactions with others. Circumstances will arise that dislodge deep-seated fears or unpleasant emotional memories buried in the far memory of your subjective unconscious. These are parts of yourself that you have disowned but are still active, affecting your behavior and choices below your awareness level. Resistance to these emerging feelings will generate recurrences of the original trauma. Become the observer and negotiate a new understanding of the earlier hurtful event. Recognize that the crisis instigated personal growth and increased self-reliance. Freedom from the known in the 8th house means releasing hidden trauma to allow new self-understanding.

9th HOUSE

The 9th house and Sagittarius bring a restless passion for up-close experiences of the world around you. You might become interested in some new philosophy, travel to distant places, or want to learn about different belief systems. Restlessness and wanderlust could haunt your waking moments. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your 9thhouse, circumstances and people will show up that open doorways to new experiences that intellectually expand your awareness of the world around you. You could take up a new course of study or visit a new place that has always attracted you. Freedom from the known in the 9th house means opening yourself to new experiences that take you out of your habitual way of seeing the world. 

10th HOUSE

The 10th house and Capricorn draw us into society in some more important ways. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your 10th house, you could land a new job, be promoted at work, or find yourself in a position of authority. Some projects you have been working on could receive public attention. As you become more public, insecurities could emerge as you learn to adjust to the change in status. As the sense of who you are changes, so can your comfort level with the situations to which you have become accustomed. You may be asked to give up some freedom and independence to conform to consensus. Freedom from the known in the 10th house means to surrender to the collective at the expense of the personal.

11th HOUSE

As Pluto in Aquarius transits your 11th house, you can experience some disruption to your normalcy. Unexpected events interrupt your normal routines, requiring you to alter your lifestyle somehow. Life could get more erratic. On the other hand, you could encounter situations that open you to new personal creativity and individual expression. You might encounter people whose lifestyles influence you to change how you live and work. Some extreme conditions can make you want to exile yourself from society or at least find someplace on the fringe. Freedom from the known in the 11th house means to allow new personal individuality to emerge when conditions change. 

12th HOUSE

The 12th house correlates to Pisces and Neptune. As Pluto in Aquarius transits your 12th house, you might feel like boundaries are dissolving. Dreams will be more vivid. High and low emotional cycles could be more frequent, impassioned one moment and weepy the next. You might find new levels of compassion for others or feel more like a martyr when circumstances are challenging. You might wax poetic or feel like escaping to some place of refuge. Freedom from the known in the 12 house means surrendering to whatever circumstance or situation wants to wash over you.
