Ah, the infamous planet Pluto. Although it lost its status as a planet in 2006, it continues to be a vital and enigmatic presence in the realm of astrology.
Pluto, the planet embodying death and rebirth, karma, secrets, the subconscious, and power, exerts a profound influence in our lives. Its impact is intense, occasionally shadowy, yet consistently transformative. Pluto retrograde 2025 kicked off yesterday, May 4th, and this small but powerful planet will be in reverse for a full five months, lasting until October 13th. This retrograde is lengthy, and Pluto is serious about compelling us to confront the deepest, darkest corners of our subconscious for the sake of our growth. Embracing healing crystals during Pluto retrograde can guide you through the potentially turbulent journey of discovering your own truth.
During Pluto retrograde, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the dynamics of power and control within your life. Now is the moment to release those who have controlled or manipulated you. It’s time to release your grip if you’ve found yourself being overly controlling of others or circumstances. This transit invites you to confront your inner struggles and embrace the challenge of overcoming your weaknesses directly. In what areas of your life is the concept of “control” slipping away from your grasp? Which areas of your life seem burdened by power imbalances? These are the exact themes to focus on during this backspin, and crystals can serve as a valuable tool for this type of healing.
Now is the moment to trust your instincts and embrace your subconscious without fear. Destined occurrences and recurring patterns will highlight the controlling habits, compulsions, addictions, or biases that need to be addressed and removed. Is there a recurring pain or struggle that keeps resurfacing in your life? Notice these intriguing coincidences. Your subconscious mind could be attempting to convey an important message to you.
Connecting with the deepest, most concealed, and most sensitive aspects of ourselves is a challenge—just as is the act of taking or relinquishing control in any situation. This retrograde invites us to embrace its energy, and to truly harness its potential for personal growth, we must approach it without fear.
Check out these powerful healing crystals for Pluto retrograde that I’ll be incorporating into your routine in the months ahead (along with tips on how to use them!). Each one will help you navigate the energy of this retrograde with greater ease.
Hematite
Since Pluto brings out our inner shadows, we must fight off our bad habits. Here is where Hematite comes into play. The stone works to remove any patterns that lead to the reinforcement of bad habits. The stone acts as an absorbent, removing negative energy and anxiety. Plus, it can help you ground yourself.
How to use it: Before using Hematite, do some work to ground yourself. Stand straight on your feet and take deep breaths while keeping the stone in your hand. If you really want the earthy energy, go outdoors and stand barefoot on the grass. Feel the detoxifying energy flowing through you.
Citrine
One of Pluto’s primary focuses is power. So, you need to get hold of your power, and to do so, you have to call on your inner strength. This sunshine-colored stone is all about boosting your confidence and aligning yourself with your inner power. The Citrine stone is about lighting up your shadow self with the power of sunshine. It is a light in the darkness.
How to use it: During this retrograde, you must create a citrine spritz. All you have to do is place the stone in distilled water or clean spring water and then let it charge for a whole day. Now, put this water in a spritz bottle and spray it around your aura when you feel down.
Moldavite
This is star stuff, as it was found after a meteor collided with Earth. This has many hidden details about the universe and is the best thing that Pluto uses to communicate with us from a distance. After all, it is the farthest planet in the solar system from the sun.
How to use it: Experimenting with Moldavite is a necessity. If you hold the stone for the first time, you will feel a bit of heat, which will first be in your hand and then move through your body. With its movement, it brings profound depth inside your body and will bring about spiritual enlightenment within you. Get ready.
Obsidian
This is the best stone to keep during the Pluto retrograde. It has a reflective surface, which helps you see yourself on it. The dark colors represent the negative side of all of us. It is a great thing to use when you are going through a bout of depression or feeling low.
How to use it: Because of its reflective surface, you can use this stone for scrying. Dim down the lights and allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Consider any situation or thought and identify it. As you do so, keep your eyes fixed on the obsidian. Now check if there is any image showing on the surface and connect it with your situation.
The Pluto retrograde will be difficult, but with the assistance of these crystals, you can pass it easily.
