Pluto went retrograde yesterday, and while retrograde is a word that has a bad taste due to popular astrology, I want to dig a little bit deeper…
What does it mean when the planet of life and death appears to be moving backyards?
Essentially, a retrograde is a time where any planet seems to be acting in reverse.
For Mercury, the planet of communication, this is a time where communication can get wonky, and travel plans can get a bit delayed.
But what about Pluto?
When Pluto goes retrograde, our focus goes from external transformation to internal.
This is a time where we become more reflective, and more aware of past issues that are perhaps contributing to our current life circumstances.
You know that avoidant ex? Is it possible that we too may have some level of avoidant behavior if those are the kind of people we’re attracting?
Welcome to shadow work and pure accountability.
Now, Pluto retrograde is going to look different for everyone, but the key themes are power, personal willpower, and shadow work.
Shadow work doesn’t have to be heavy. It can be a time where we really take accountability for any power struggles we’re tired of playing a part in, or a time when we begin to choose pathways in our lives that really light us up - from the inside, out.
