I regret to inform you that our retrograde-free period is now over ‘cos Pluto Retrograde has just kicked off. Curses!
The good news is that as far as retrogrades go, Pluto is one of the less antagonistic ones, but it’s still rather intense, nonetheless, as it enacts great change in our lives. And let’s face it, no one likes change… but there’s the potential for positive change, I promise!
Read on for everything you need to know about Pluto Retrograde and how it’ll impact our lives.
Pluto Retrograde 2025
What are the dates?
Unlike Mercury Retrograde and Venus Retrograde which only last a coupla months, Pluto Retrograde runs from May 5 to October 13, so there’s five months of mayhem to look forward to!
What happens during Pluto Retrograde?
Pluto is the planet of transformation, power and renewal, and rules the spicy sign of Scorpio, although the retrograde falls in kooky sign Aquarius.
Pluto Retrograde presents a unique opportunity for profound personal growth, fresh perspectives, and positive change. It’s an ideal time to ditch old patterns, reassess your ambitions, and explore a deeper self-awareness. Use this period to clear mental fog and revisit ideas that may now be ready to fully develop.
The Pluto Retrograde of 2025 beckons as a rare cosmic passage, inviting you into a realm of deep transformation, awakened insight, and soul-level renewal. During this powerful phase, the veil thins, allowing you to break free from entrenched patterns, realign with your true purpose, and uncover hidden truths within.
During this time, don’t be surprised if people, patterns, habits, interests etc that you once loved start to lose their shine, or vice versa. This may be an intense period, but it’s hella necessary to strip off what no longer serves you so you can blossom and grow.
It’s a sacred time to clear the mind’s shadows and breathe new life into long-dormant visions awaiting their destined awakening.
How can I protect myself?
Use Pluto’s transformative energy to your advantage! Are there aspects of your life or perhaps yourself that you’ve been wanting to change for good? Well, now would be the time as planetary energy is calling on us to shake it up and try something new.
It’s a particularly good time to ditch negative habits, behaviours and toxic people. Just rid yourself of all the BS and level-up your life.
Here are some specific rituals to cast…
Shadow work
Welcome the power of shadow work by journaling your deepest fears, meditating on the roots of your limiting beliefs, and practicing manifestation magic to promote healing and self-love.
Protection rituals
Surround yourself with protective rituals to keep you safe on your journey of transformation.
Cord-cutting rituals
Engage in cord-cutting and binding spells to sever ties with toxic bonds that sap your strength so you may reclaim your personal power.
All the best with Pluto Retrograde! Suss what you have on for the next month via your May horoscopes 2025.
