Why does Pluto changing Signs impact us all?

Pluto is an intensely powerful and transformative planetary energy. Collectively, its function is to dredge up and clear out, anything that is outdated in the Sign it is travelling through. Personally, it clears anything that is not supportive of our individual growth, in the area of our life determined by the House it is travelling through in our birth chart.
For example:
Through the 4th House = home and roots
Through the 7th House = relationships
Through the 9th House = beliefs, studies and travel
Through the 10th House = vocation and career…

Navigating Pluto in Aquarius

It’s a great time to reassess what your ideals are and to launch innovative projects that you may have been putting off for a while. However, keeping in mind that we are made of flesh and blood, grounding regularly in our body, will help balance in our nervous system as we get used to Pluto in this somewhat erratic Airy Sign.
Friendship groups are likely to undergo some radical changes and the less we take this personally, the easier we can navigate through these times. Long distance relationships may become more common, as well as a wider acceptance and interest in non traditional relationships.
Birth charts with a lot of Earth and Water may struggle a little, with the focus on the mind, versus the body and emotions. Maintaining our own creative and spiritual routines can help, together with practicing compassion and kindness towards our self and others. - MG
