Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn Horoscopes – June 11, 2023

5.023

The intense and passionate planet, Pluto, is gearing up to exit Aquarius, where it’s been since March, and go back into Capricorn on June 11th, 2023, bringing back the Pluto in Capricorn energy we’ve had for the last decade.

The short tour of Pluto in Aquarius has ushered in some very different energy for us, and this came with some significant astrological events (including an anaretic eclipse and Mercury retrograde). This change may have been welcome, but also challenged the way things have been.

Pluto going back to Capricorn turns our attention back to what we may have thought we were done with. Not yet, says Pluto!

About Pluto in Capricorn

Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008, so this is a transit we’ve dealt with for 15 years. Pluto’s movement into Aquarius a few months ago started a whole new Pluto cycle. However, Pluto isn’t done with the Capricorn cycle yet (not until November 2024; you can brush up on the Pluto in Aquarius transit with the article, Pluto is FINALLY Moving into Aquarius).

This means we’re at the end of Pluto’s time in Capricorn, ending this Pluto in the Capricorn cycle, and most of the massive transformations that Pluto brings have already come to pass.

The height of this was with the Capricorn stellium in 2020 (with Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn along with Pluto), and we’re in a pretty different environment now than from just a few years ago (let alone from when this cycle started 15 years ago).

Pluto in Capricorn has targeted many countries, governments, leaders, and corporations during this time, but it’s also challenged us as individuals and societies to transform what has always been. Just because it’s the way things have been for a long time doesn’t mean it’s right anymore (or that it ever actually was).

The status quo has had to change. We’ve had to build a new foundation for our future (which is ushering in with Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the future).

Now that we’re nearing the end of this Pluto in Capricorn cycle, this means we’re finalizing the transformations, getting them done, and tying them up. Anything that is left, we can do now so we’re able to move forward as we fully enter a new cycle next year.

Pluto remains in Capricorn for the rest of 2023 once it re-enters. It’ll only be in Capricorn for a couple of months in 2024, so we’re getting our best shot to get things done now, in 2023.

This can be especially strong at the start of Pluto in Capricorn because it’s starting with Pluto retrograde or appearing to move backward. Pluto moves backward from Aquarius to Capricorn and will be retrograde in Capricorn until October 10th, 2023.

With Pluto retrograde, we can be more in tune with the subconscious and karmic energy, and this can help us connect with what we may not be fully aware of consciously. It can give us insights into what exactly we need to work on finishing or releasing.

If you’re a Capricorn Sun, Moon, or Rising, Pluto in Capricorn has been especially strong for you, and you’ve likely had to undergo the biggest transformations over these years. You may have one last fight in you before it’s over, but by now, you should be a formidable force who can take it.

For everyone else, look to the house in your birth chart transit Pluto at the end of Capricorn falls in (basically where 27 – 29 degrees Capricorn falls). The areas of life ruled by that house can be where you’re wrapping up transformations and ready to move forward.

29 degrees is called the anaretic degree in astrology, and it’s the last degree of a zodiac sign (there are 30 degrees in each sign). It’s supercharged energy, and you may find if you have anything in your natal chart positioned at 29 degrees (no matter the sign), it’s getting highlighted by Pluto in Capricorn since Pluto spends a lot of its time at that degree.

Pay special attention to whatever the body rules in your chart and try to take control of the final transformations.
