The astrological earthquake triggered by the return of Pluto in Capricorn

On June 11, 2023 at 8:16 a.m. Paris time, Pluto, which had entered Aquarius spectacularly on March 23, will return to Capricorn, where it will transit retrograde until October 11, then become direct again until its return to Aquarius on January 21, 2024.

Looking for a secure environment

Previously, the arrival of Pluto, planet of profound transformations and upheavals, in Aquarius, had led us to totally rethink the foundations of our lives, our place in society, our family, etc. Its return to Capricorn could prompt us to once again seek order in our lives, needing a structuring environment to reassure us. Its return to Capricorn could prompt us to seek to put our lives back in order, to need a structuring environment to reassure us. Depending on the case, this may be desired or suffered, at work for example, with a tightening of hierarchy or discipline, in our love life and even in our vision of the world, which will become more rational, even down-to-earth.

Signs on the front line

Earth signs will experience this Pluto return most intensely. First of all, Capricorns will feel vested with new responsibilities, new fields of action, and will be ready to embark on new projects. Taurus and Virgo natives will be keen to rediscover a stable and constructive love life for the long term. Water signs will also benefit from this influence. Pisces, for example, will find it easier to keep their feet on the ground and not get carried away by their imaginations. Scorpios will gain in authority and charisma in their social relationships. Cancers, on the other hand, could experience a period of sentimental disappointment, as their relationship fails to live up to their expectations. Librans could encounter financial or legal difficulties related to family or real estate, while Aries could experience professional turbulence. The latter may find it difficult to cope with a growing hierarchical authority.

Regaining control and power

From a world astrological point of view, Pluto’s return to Capricorn could coincide with a period of consolidation of states’ authority over their populations, after a period marked by excesses and revolts. At the same time, this attempt to regain control of governments will not be without difficulty, and political unrest within the very spheres of power is to be expected. Pandemic themes could also return, with the evocation of new control measures and restrictions on freedoms, particularly in July and October, when the Sun will form a square with Pluto.
