Pluto, the planet of regeneration and upheaval, will begin its retrograde in ambitious and committed Capricorn on April 29. This transit will last for five months, ending on October 8, 2022. The shadows beneath our societal structures and the BTS happenings of public figures will be unveiled, facilitating changes to the power dynamics in our community. Prepare for deep bouts of introspection and inquisition about the state of our global hierarchies and how they mentally influence you during this retrograde.
Consider How You Form New Ideas & Perspectives
Prior to the beginning of its retrograde, Pluto will harmonize with Mercury — the planet of mindset and communication — in earthy and grounded Taurus. This supportive energy will focus on what you can gain from changing your approach or mind to meet people’s needs. Figures of authority, or even systems and institutions, will seek to gain recognition and power by telling you what you want to hear. Mercury in Taurus will influence your stubborn mind, making it difficult for you to be swayed by the Plutonian energy. Lies or even pushing facts and figures won’t change your mind, hence why people will take on a different approach — to appeal to your needs and interests, and convince you that you already thought of these ideas yourself. Once Pluto stations retrograde, you may have to reconsider the foundations of your opinions, where they have come from, and how they serve you.
Ask Deeper Questions
Reflect on how and when you have subconsciously accepted ideas and perspectives without asking questions, simply because they seemed entirely logical or shared with assertion and confidence. When have you told yourself that you don’t need to question the validity of what someone else has told you because it just made sense? When Pluto stations direct, it will trine Mercury again — though this time, Mercury will transit the more analytical and detail-oriented Virgo, which is a position of strength for the planet of communication. You will emerge from this retrograde with a sharper ability to dissect information so that you can come to your own opinions. You will learn, through practice, that you don’t have to accept or reject new ideas entirely. You can explore, research, and question them, using your findings to inform yourself accurately. Overall, this retrograde will sharpen your focus and equip you to keep yourself informed about things you don’t trust or believe.
