A significant chapter comes to a close.
Mercury is graciously shielding us from any retrograde turmoil this month; however, October still carries some lingering retrograde energies to be mindful of. Mark your calendars: Jupiter retrograde kicks off on October 9, followed closely by the conclusion of Pluto retrograde just two days later. This tiny yet powerful planet goes into retrograde for approximately five and a half months annually, and on October 11, it will conclude its latest reverse motion and begin to move forward once more. Experiencing a planet’s energy transition into a dynamic forward motion is always a pleasure—even when it involves a distant celestial body like Pluto, which may seem less impactful at first glance. This year, the conclusion of Pluto retrograde carries an extraordinary weight, marking the transition into the final chapter of an era that has spanned over 15 years.
Pluto, the most distant planet from the sun, wields influence over profound and impactful themes. Astrology recognizes this planet for its influence on transformation, power dynamics, and extremes. It operates beneath the surface, molding not only the contours of your personal journey but also the broader societal landscape. Pluto delves into the hidden depths of existence, exploring the tectonic shifts beneath the earth’s surface and uncovering the harsh realities masked by a seemingly innocent exterior.
Though Pluto resides among the distant outer planets, its influence on individuals may be subtle, yet it remains undeniably potent. Ultimately, Pluto derives its name from the Roman deity associated with the underworld. Just like its annual retrograde periods, you might not notice the effects as vividly as you would with Mercury’s backspins. However, the slow and profound energy is undoubtedly creating significant shifts in your life.
For the past year and a half, Pluto has been gracefully navigating the boundary between Capricorn and Aquarius, oscillating between these two zodiac signs multiple times, thanks to its leisurely orbit and extended retrograde phases. As Pluto retrograde 2024 draws to a close, its time in Capricorn will come to an end, completing a significant transformation in the lives of all zodiac signs.
Pluto Direct in Capricorn: A Conclusion to a Significant Chapter
On October 11, Pluto stations direct in Capricorn, marking the end of its retrograde phase and signaling its return to forward motion through the zodiac. As it navigates the final degrees of Capricorn, it will swiftly transition into Aquarius once more on November 19. Unlike the previous two occasions when Pluto exited Capricorn in the last year and a half, this marks the final departure in anyone’s lifetime, signaling the conclusion of a truly significant and rare era.
Since 2008, Pluto’s presence in Capricorn has brought a powerful wave of transformation, reshaping our perceptions of leadership, authority, and the societal rules that guide us. The dynamic energy of a grounded, structured earth sign has impacted how we connect with these fundamental aspects of life. Once Pluto leaves Capricorn on November 19, its departure will be permanent—at least for the next 230 years. Once Pluto retrograde concludes on Oct. 11, expect its energy to be incredibly powerful.
This pivotal moment will initiate the final phase of transformation for the profound changes that have been quietly reshaping your life’s landscape over the last fifteen years. Pluto draws you into profound depths, allowing you to rise anew, transformed, and revitalized. However, it’s important to note that this process requires time, which is why Pluto spends an extended period in each sign.

Pluto’s Journey into Aquarius: A Lasting Transformation
On November 19, Pluto wraps up its transformative 15-year journey through Capricorn and steps into the forward-thinking realm of Aquarius, where it will reside for the next two decades. You may find that Plutonian themes in your life resonate more than ever because this is Pluto’s second time in Aquarius. Pluto made its first foray into Aquarius on March 23, 2023, marking a significant return since the late 18th century. As this small yet powerful planet enters its retrograde phase in 2023 and 2024, it will momentarily revisit Capricorn during each backward motion—but this time, it won’t be making a return.
The era of Pluto in Capricorn is drawing to a close, and as we approach the end of Pluto retrograde in 2024, we witness its last journey through this sign—setting the stage for the vibrant energy of Pluto in Aquarius to emerge.
