Pluto Enters Aquarius in March: What Does It Bring Us?

“What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger”

This quote is dedicated to those who are currently facing or about to undergo Pluto’s trials. In just two days, Saturn will conclude its journey through Aquarius and enter Pisces.

Saturn’s Legacy in Aquarius

Saturn typically spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign, exerting a long-term influence. Over the past five years, Saturn has been in its ruling signs—Capricorn and Aquarius—bringing various restrictions and rules. However, these challenges have also helped individuals mature, develop resilience, and enhance their capabilities.

During its two-year stay in Aquarius, Saturn subjected us to numerous limitations, particularly societal and collective pressures. Many felt trapped, unable to act freely, experiencing an unprecedented sense of confinement.

As Saturn prepares to leave Aquarius, it’s time to reflect: What have you learned? With Saturn now “grading” your progress, consider the gains from these years of constraints. Did you master self-sufficiency under extreme limitations? Did pressure spark innovative thinking or new ways of living? Perhaps you embraced cutting-edge technologies?

The Arrival of Pluto in Aquarius

While Saturn’s restrictions in Pisces will gradually ease, today marks a pivotal astrological event: Pluto’s entry into Aquarius.

Unlike Saturn’s biennial tests, Pluto’s influence is far more profound. Spending roughly two decades per sign, its impact is slow but transformative. If your natal chart features planets in hard aspect to transiting Pluto, prepare for an unforgettable—and potentially life-altering—experience. One Capricorn Sun friend described their 2012–2017 Pluto transit as “being run over by a steamroller,” emerging with profound gratitude for survival.

Navigating Pluto’s Challenges

Resisting Pluto’s energy is futile. The key lies in surrendering rigid control, embracing its trials, and tackling them head-on. Though painful, this process ultimately yields invaluable rewards.

Moon Signs Alert: Those with Moon in Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn have likely already faced Pluto’s intensity. Now, Moons in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are next in line. Given Pluto’s sluggish pace, individuals with Sun/Moon at 28° of cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) or fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) should prioritize self-care over the coming years.

Special Notice for Rising Signs

Leo and Aquarius Risings: Pluto’s Aquarius transit will spotlight personal, familial, professional, and partnership themes—especially for those with planets in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius. While timing varies, the impact will be undeniable.

This celestial shift invites Aquarians and their allies to harness Pluto’s transformative power. Where will you direct this energy? Towards innovation? Humanitarian causes? Or perhaps a radical reinvention? The stars set the stage, but you hold the script.
