And in 2025, a chance to start a completely new chapter!
In autumn 2024, Pluto, the planet of inner transformation, temporarily returned to the steadfast sign of Capricorn. This period offers an opportunity to reflect, conclude life lessons, and let go of outdated patterns. After November 19, 2024, when Pluto permanently transitions into Aquarius, it’s time to embark on new beginnings.
Many will find themselves wrapping up a 16-year karmic cycle, leaving behind negative patterns that have impacted their lives since 2008. To facilitate this, experts recommend a simple exercise: once a week until November 19, spend a few minutes analyzing what you’ve disliked in your life since 2008, identify what you wish to end, and firmly remind yourself of your intent to let these go.
The biggest changes will be felt by the cardinal signs—those that signal the start of new seasons: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Here’s what the new period holds for each:
Aries
During Pluto’s time in Capricorn, you may have faced many challenges regarding power dynamics—conflicts with authority figures and similar issues within the family were likely. The period from late 2020 to early 2023, marked by Saturn’s influence, was particularly difficult.
Now, you’re ready to lead and inspire others. The past karmic cycle can be seen as a personal diplomacy school that taught you to balance your rebellious nature with wisdom and collaboration. The last weeks of Pluto in Capricorn may bring final lessons, but you have the skills to navigate them successfully.
Cancer
The key lesson for you during this transit was achieving independence and learning to set boundaries in relationships. The past years served as a course in developing these abilities, and Pluto’s brief return to Capricorn is a graduation exam. You’ve grown significantly as a partner and are now prepared to be with someone who truly matches your energy.
Another theme of this transit was your relationship with the past. Letting go can be tough, but it has shaped who you are today and helped you find your path. If some pieces of understanding were missing, Pluto’s move into Aquarius will provide the final clarity. With Saturn entering Pisces in March 2025, you’ll gain the strength to stand firm for your beliefs and goals.
Libra
Before Pluto’s shift to Aquarius changes your romantic landscape, you’ll revisit the lesson of grounding and seeking roots. Over the past 16 years, you learned to take on more responsibility and leadership.
Pluto in Capricorn also helped expand your emotional intelligence and spiritual awareness, prompting you to explore family ties and home life. Although challenging, it nurtured your capacity for unconditional love. This experience will soon reflect positively in your career and help you foster deeper connections with others.
Capricorn
For you, Pluto’s main lesson was identity. The past 16 years were a journey of learning to believe in and take pride in yourself. Soon, you will find your place in the sun and emerge rejuvenated from past challenges.
While Pluto remains in your sign, use this time to review everything you’ve learned and experienced. Strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you. Open your mind, heart, and spirit to the new experiences awaiting you. Fear will no longer hold you back—you’ve developed resilience and skills that will help you fully express your true self.
As Pluto transitions, all signs are reminded to embrace change, find closure, and prepare for new beginnings with courage and an open heart.
