As we enter February, the stars align in a way that brings about change and new ideas, signaling a time of transformation and progress. The most significant astrological event is the long-awaited shift of Pluto into Aquarius. This monumental transit, occurring only once every 248 years, marks the gradual return of power to the people, signaling a new era of social change and collective awakening.
Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, leaves the structured and traditional sign of Capricorn to enter the progressive and forward-thinking Aquarius. This cosmic shift symbolizes a profound change in societal structures and power dynamics. The Aquarian energy, known for its advocacy for freedom, equality, and humanitarianism, will be intensified by Pluto’s transformative power, suggesting a period where innovative ideas and technologies could significantly alter our social fabric.
Pluto will be in Aquarius from January 20, 2024 through September 1, 2024, briefly retrograde back into Capricorn to tie up loose ends, and reenter Aquarius on November 19, 2024….where it will remain until March 8, 2043. Freedom & Human Rights will be highlighted with us moving into the Age of Aquarius. In 2024 we will experience quantum shifts at the conscious level! It’s critical to find your anchor, stay in peace and reach for levels of high frequency through mediation, breathwork or by simply closing your eyes and imagine holding hands around the world!

Adding to this electrifying energy, Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, stationed direct in January, making it the last planet in our solar system to resume direct motion. Known as the Great Awakener, Uranus’s direct motion in Taurus brings a sense of urgency to let go of what no longer serves us. This planetary movement is a clear call to break free from old patterns, outdated systems, and rigid thinking.
Uranus represents innovation, swift change, and all the ways we can reinvent tradition. Uranus carries themes of innovation, self-discovery, and revolution. Uranus has been in retrograde motion through the sign of Taurus since September 2023 and will maintain its typical forward motion until September 2024.
Uranus’s direct motion amplifies our awareness of what we have outgrown. It encourages us to embrace change, even if it means stepping out of our comfort zones. Expect sudden insights, breakthroughs in personal growth, and perhaps even unexpected shifts in your life path. The energy of Uranus is unpredictable but always aims towards growth and evolution.
The New Moon on February 9th in Aquarius offers a moment of introspection and renewal. It’s a time to set intentions and plant seeds for the future. This New Moon, falling in the sign of Aquarius, aligns beautifully with the energy of change brought by Pluto’s entry into the same sign. It’s an auspicious time to focus on personal revolutions, breakthroughs in thinking, and embracing the unconventional. Use this New Moon to meditate on your goals, especially those that involve innovation, community, and social change.
