Aquarius – Pluto Retrograde Horoscope

This retrograde is the portal into a 20-year period of huge change and growth for you, Aquarius. As noted above, Pluto just moved into your sign—aka your first house of self-identity—where it’ll remain for the next two decades, and as it retrogrades, it retraces its path into your identity house, then dipping into your 12th house of the inner psyche.

Think of this period like the spiritual throat-clearing for what’s to come. It’s time to “get real with yourself,” says Marquardt, “and to recognize and release whatever is hiding deep within.”

Because diving into your own emotional depths might not exactly be your forte, consider doing some self-actualization work, like getting an astrology, tarot, or human-design reading, suggests Murphy. Or, just make a point of spending time with yourself. “During this retrograde, it might feel like the world slows down around you, and you find yourself with extra quiet time,” she says. “If that happens, know that it’s on purpose. The universe is like, ‘Hey, you’re about to go through this whole rite of passage, so let’s take some time to understand who you really are.”
