As we journey through 2024, we’re met with the powerful energies of three major planetary retrogrades. Understanding these cosmic shifts can offer valuable insights into how they might influence our lives. Here’s a closer look at what to expect from Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune during their retrograde periods.
Pluto, the planet of transformation, has been retrograde since May 2nd. This retrograde period began in Capricorn and will see Pluto station direct in Aquarius on October 11. Pluto’s retrograde is a time for deep introspection and inner transformation. It encourages us to confront our shadows and release what no longer serves us. As Pluto shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius, we move from restructuring our foundations to embracing innovation and future-oriented thinking. To understand how this transit affects you, check which houses Capricorn and Aquarius occupy in your natal chart.
Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac, went retrograde in Pisces on June 29 and will remain so until November 15. Saturn’s retrograde is a period of review and reassessment. It’s a time to reflect on our boundaries, responsibilities, and long-term goals. In Pisces, Saturn retrograde invites us to revisit our spiritual practices, emotional boundaries, and compassionate responsibilities. Where Pisces is located in your chart will highlight the areas of life where you need to establish firmer boundaries and more disciplined approached.
Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, will retrograde in Pisces from July 2 until December 7. Neptune’s retrograde is a time to peel back layers of illusion and seek clarity. It encourages us to connect with our intuition, spirituality, and inner truths. During this period, we may confront areas of deception or escapism in our lives. As with Saturn, look to the house that Pisces rules in your chart to see where these themes will play out.
