Pluto in Aquarius to Stay: Horoscopes for all 12 Signs

Hey everyone, this is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Today, we're going to take a look at Pluto moving into the sign of Aquarius, where it will stay for almost 20 years. We'll explore how this shift impacts your whole sign house horoscopes, looking at all 12 placements. I recommend listening to your rising sign, but if you prefer, you can listen to your sun sign as well. We'll discuss some themes and ideas about what the next 20 years might look like, given this new house placement for Pluto in your birth chart. So, that's our agenda for today.

Remember to like and subscribe—we really appreciate it when you do. It's free, and it helps our channel grow immensely. We truly value your support. You can find transcripts of any of my daily talks on the website, which is NightlightAstrology.com.

One quick reminder: we have a webinar tomorrow night, Thursday.

Also, we are in the opening days of my 11th annual Kickstarter campaign. Our goal this year is to reach 19,137 backers by January 1. I'm recording this in advance, so I'm not sure how we're doing yet, but I hope we're off to a strong start! You can find the link to the Kickstarter in the description of this video, in the comments, or on NightlightAstrology.com, where there’s a 2025 Kickstarter link. Your support helps fund our channel, our programs, and ensures that we can continue offering need-based and flexible pricing for our classes. It also helps support me, my family, my staff, and all the work we do at Nightlight, including the free daily content on this channel.

During Kickstarter season, we offer over 50% off our courses, especially when you bundle several together. There are also exclusive talks, yearly horoscopes, and personal readings that I offer as rewards. Be sure to check out the video at the end of this one for more details on what you can receive when you donate and support the channel.

I always like to start each episode during Kickstarter season by sharing a little bit about why I believe the channel is worth supporting. Yesterday, I talked about prayer being part of every daily video I create. Another important aspect of my work is what I would broadly call an astrological lifestyle. I’ve been a professional astrologer for over 15 years, and for 13 of those, I’ve been producing daily content. I’ve worked with over 13,000 clients and taught thousands of students. Our team has also helped build and develop the careers of many promising astrologers. When you support the Kickstarter, you’re supporting a dedicated astrological lifestyle that’s been honed over years of immersion in the field. I hope you find value in that, and that you’ll consider supporting us as we aim to reach 19,137 backers by January 1.

Now, let's shift our attention to the real-time clock. Here’s Pluto in Aquarius on Wednesday, November 20. It’s hard to believe 2024 is almost over! This year has flown by, especially for me personally and professionally. But anyway, let’s focus on Pluto’s new house position in your chart after it moves into Aquarius. What does it mean for the next 20 years? We’ll go through each sign, looking at the house placements of Pluto and how this will shape your evolutionary process over time. You can listen to this for your sun or rising sign, but I recommend using your rising sign, as it corresponds with the whole sign house system. That’s what we use here, and it gives us the clearest picture of Pluto’s transit in your chart.

Let’s start with Aries. Pluto moves into your 11th house. This is the house of friendships, community, networks, and social connections. Pluto’s ingress into your 11th house brings a deep transformation in how you cultivate the right kinds of people in your life. The 11th house, associated with Jupiter, is a place where good spirit and meaningful connections grow. On a basic level, the 11th house helps you find the right people to accomplish your goals and dreams. But on a deeper level, it’s about surrounding yourself with people who help you develop spiritually and who support the authentic expression of your gifts.

You may also need to eliminate people who drain you or bring out the worst in you. Pluto’s influence might highlight social pressures and the need to make compromises to fit in with groups or communities. But if these compromises feel too much, you may have to reevaluate the relationships you’re investing in. This house also deals with resources you gain from others, whether intellectual, spiritual, or material. Pluto can bring valuable resources into your life through social connections or organizations, transforming your path through these connections.

Let’s move on to Taurus. For Taurus, Pluto is in your 10th house of career, vocation, and public life. This house governs your professional reputation and your role in the world. Pluto here signals a time of transformation in how you engage with the world through your work. Over the next 20 years, you might make your most significant contribution in your career, or the direction of your professional life may become clearer. Pluto can deconstruct and rebuild the shape of your career, shifting the way you work or even what kind of work you do.

This transit might also challenge you to confront the shadows of power and authority, especially in your professional life. With great power comes great responsibility, and Pluto in the 10th can elevate you but also asks you to look carefully at how you use your influence. As you rise in your career, Pluto invites you to stay humble and connected to the collective, reminding you to give back and avoid the pitfalls of greed or selfish ambition.

For Geminis, Pluto is in your 9th house of higher education, philosophy, travel, and the pursuit of truth. This is the house of expanding your horizons and seeking wisdom through learning, travel, and spiritual exploration. Pluto in the 9th indicates a profound transformation of your intellectual and philosophical beliefs over the next 20 years. You may experience a deeper commitment to expanding your knowledge, whether through formal education, teaching, or exploration of new belief systems.

The 9th house also deals with your connection to foreign cultures, so travel abroad or connecting with people from different backgrounds may play a significant role in your personal growth. This transit will transform your intellectual worldview, helping you grow and develop spiritually and mentally. As you evolve over the next two decades, you may find that your career or role in society is deeply influenced by the wisdom and philosophical commitments you cultivate now.

For Cancer, Pluto is in your 8th house of transformation, shared resources, and deep psychological processes. This house governs the deeper, more hidden aspects of life—life, death, sex, and rebirth. Pluto here will push you to confront the deep mysteries of life, especially in how you connect with others. You may find that your relationships, particularly intimate or karmic connections, lead you into profound personal transformations. This could involve a deepening of your understanding of the collective or a shift away from smaller, more familiar niches toward a broader, more inclusive worldview.

Pluto in the 8th challenges you to face what’s hidden beneath the surface, often through intense emotional or psychological experiences. Over the next 20 years, you may gain deeper insight into the collective forces that shape human behavior and experience, transforming how you view yourself and others.

For Leo, Pluto is in your 7th house of relationships and partnerships. This is the house of love, marriage, and all forms of close connection. Pluto here brings a deep transformation of your personal relationships over the next two decades. Existing relationships may end, new relationships may begin, or your current relationships may go through a profound death-and-rebirth process. You may find that your relationships help you grow into a more authentic version of yourself, reflecting back your deepest truths and helping you become more aware of the collective dimensions of your own life.

Pluto in the 7th also asks you to look at the balance of power within relationships and the ways in which love, sex, and intimacy transform you. Relationships over the next 20 years may lead you to profound personal growth and a deeper understanding of yourself as part of a larger social and collective reality.

For Virgo, Pluto is in your 6th house of daily work, health, and service. This is the house of the daily grind—the routines, rituals, and efforts that lead to mastery. Pluto’s transit here could signal a time of great transformation in your work life. You might dedicate yourself to a new, long-term project or a career path that requires sacrifice, perseverance, and discipline. Pluto will help you purify and transform your daily habits, making you more dedicated to the work that truly matters.

This transit will also raise questions about what’s worth sacrificing for. Are you slaving away for something that isn’t aligned with your authentic desires? Pluto in the 6th house can highlight the causes of stress or sickness, helping you identify areas in your life that need transformation. The work you do during this period could be incredibly rewarding, but only if it’s in alignment with your deeper passions and purpose.

With Libra rising, we place Aquarius, Pluto, Pluto, and Aquarius—excuse me—into the fifth house. This place was called "The Joy of Venus" and the house of good fortune. It’s associated with the beneficial or positive karma that comes with our birth and will manifest to bring us happiness throughout life. If you read it just from that level, which is a very Indian way of reading, the fifth house—something I’ve found a lot of use for in my own practice—can show that this transit may bring the riches of Pluto into your life over 20 years.

It’s as though you are ready to reap what has been sown from previous lives, and the manifestation of things that bring happiness, joy, creative fulfillment, children, pregnancy, anything that adds to your life creatively, that adds joy and happiness, or creative fulfillment, might be ready. Its fruit is ready to appear. Pluto, in this sense, can literally mean that the riches from the underworld of past lives are ready to manifest in the house of joy and good fortune and become part of your life.

But the question might be: what do you do with this? Skills, interests, abilities, and things that make you happy might appear. And then the question becomes, "How do I find an avenue or an outlet for the expression of these things that make me happy?" Another thing that could come up is the transformation of your relationship with pleasure. The fifth house is also associated broadly with pleasure, so Pluto in the fifth can mean that you're looking carefully at your need for happiness and pleasure. There's an emphasis on healthy, happy, sensual experiences.

You're an embodied being here to experience happiness and pleasure—not every day, not all the time, but it's a part of life. Libras sometimes suffer from doing the "right" thing instead of doing what brings joy. The right thing might look good but not feel as good as something else that might be a little more controversial, or construed as selfish. It’s also about not being afraid to examine what really makes you happy. Pluto will bring us into contact with what we think is taboo or inappropriate. It brings us into the underworld—in this case, with respect to pleasure—looking at what's forbidden and how to have a healthy relationship with any repressed desires. This could be a part of Pluto in the fifth house for Scorpio.

For Scorpio, we see Pluto in the fourth house, a very powerful place. The fourth house represents our roots, home, living environment, parents, family, karma, ancestry, and the foundation of our life—psychically, emotionally, physically—the private sphere. Pluto in this house has the ability to deeply transform where you live, how you live, who you live with, and your relationship with your parents. It can unearth old karma with respect to parents or family. It can transform the structure of your family, even the actual location or structure of your home. Over 20 years, you may be working through a deep excavation of how your current situation connects to your family of origin.

As Pluto moves into the fourth house, there’s also the possibility of a process of death and rebirth in the broader family karma. The energy of Pluto in Aquarius for 20 years will ask you to process unconscious material connected to your ancestral or past life karma. This is the metaphorical "underworld" of the chart. Pluto can bring your attention to things that are mysterious and hidden on an esoteric or spiritual level. The fourth house was the original house of the occult, deep work, and maybe the need for some objectivity. You might look at your relationship to the collective—how you fit or don’t fit in socially, collectively, and how those roots might have connections to your own family.

When we look at Sagittarius rising, we see Pluto in the third house. To me, this is one of the most interesting placements for Pluto because the third house is one of the most nebulous houses to describe. The third house relates to the karmic environment of your life—physical, cultural, emotional, mental, and psychological. It was called "The Joy of the Moon" and "Goddess Dia" in ancient Greek astrological thinking, referring to the embodied world around us.

Think of it like the fish swimming in a fish tank. The fourth house is like the rock you live under, but the rest of the tank is the environment you swim in. You may not even know you're swimming in it because it's so basic. The third house represents your environment—your mind, your culture, and your surroundings. You were born into a karmic environment that could reflect in various ways: psychological, emotional, mental, communicative, and social. It’s not just one or two things, but the third house is like a mandala, where there are various layers of environments influencing your life.

What Pluto brings to the third house is a transformation of your environment—the people, the culture, and even your mind and psychology. This could be a profound transformation over the next 20 years. Imagine a scenario where a Californian surfer is transplanted to a Midwest city, and he has to adapt to an entirely different cultural environment. Similarly, Pluto’s transit through the third house may demand a complete shift in your cultural landscape—what you listen to, who you hang out with, the intellectual and spiritual discourse of your life, the people in your family, and the cultures they belong to. Pluto will bring about deep transformations in these areas, leading to profound shifts in your identity.

For Capricorn, we bring Pluto into the second house, the house of money, finances, and resources. This house is associated with what we have available to us as assets—what we’re cultivating in terms of finances, business, and skills or abilities we are developing for self-sufficiency. The second house often reflects what we do for a living, or the abilities we cultivate to support ourselves.

Pluto entering the second house signifies a transformation in your relationship with money, finances, assets, and skills. Over 20 years, this transformation will unfold gradually, healing or changing the way you relate to your material world. It’s a time for a long-term process of shifting your approach to resources, wealth, and the skills that sustain you.

With Aquarius rising, Pluto enters the first house—your identity, body, spirit, and soul. This is one of the most existential placements for Pluto. As it enters your first house, you may experience a tremendous sense of empowerment. Pluto can give you a deep understanding of your own power. However, it can also bring up psychological shadows, requiring you to confront what needs healing on the level of psyche, soul, and body.

Pluto may push you to transform your health, lifestyle, and well-being. It might bring out the richness of your inner life to be shared with the world. Pluto may also encourage you to own the edgier, darker, or more subversive side of yourself. Aquarius is a humanitarian sign, often concerned with rational, socially acceptable ideas, but Pluto in Aquarius will urge you to incorporate your deeper, more subjective experiences—what you feel, desire, and need—not just what is "right" or socially acceptable.

Finally, for Pisces, Pluto enters the 12th house. The 12th house is one of the most difficult places to see consciously—it’s a blind spot. Pluto in the 12th over 20 years brings a long, gradual process of bringing unconscious material into your awareness. This can be a healing process, as Pluto transforms and revolutionizes something very essential about who you are.

During this period, you’ll be in a gestation process, midwifing unconscious material into a conscious space. Although it may seem daunting, remember that 20 years is just a drop in the bucket in the span of eternity. Pluto will gradually help you bring things into your awareness that you haven't been able to see up until now. Additionally, Pluto in the 12th can increase your sensitivity to collective humanitarian concerns—suffering, compassion, and activism. Your connection to the world’s suffering can inspire you deeply, whether personally, artistically, or professionally.

The 12th house is also ideal for spiritual contemplation, meditation, and prayer. These practices can help you connect to the collective heart of humanity and deepen your understanding of your role in the world.

That’s what we have for today. I hope these horoscopes offer helpful insights as Pluto prepares to enter or has already entered your house, staying for 20 years.
