The Importance of Saturn + Pluto Changing Signs

Saturn and Pluto are far out, man!

Their distance from the Sun means that they spend a considerable amount of time in each zodiac sign, which can influence the astrological forecast for more substantial durations...

Saturn entered its home sign of Aquarius in December of 2020, and will be there until March of 2023. That might seem like a pretty brief period of time, but get this: Saturn had been hanging out in its other crib (the sign of Capricorn) for like another few years before this, meaning its gotten accustomed to being empowered, assertive, and influential. And Pluto, it's been chillin' in Capricorn since '08, which means it's been bringing that vibe to the astrology party for a cool 13 years now.

The outer planets, which can include Jupiter - Pluto, are known to have significant impacts on one's birth chart. These planets are called "generational," as they remain in the same sign for a long period of time, affecting everyone born during that period similarly.

Astrologers often use the positions of these outer planets to gain insight into societal trends and cultural shifts throughout history. Analyzing the placement of these planets in a birth chart can provide a deeper understanding of your personality traits and life path, as well as the larger societal influences that may have shaped you. They also hold some pieces of the subliminal energies we feel everyday by virtue of this generational behavior; Outer planets affect our present-day energies by signifying where long durations of focus will be for the collective headspace, as well as highlighting different realms of our birth charts of extended periods of time…

Saturn plays a significant role in our personal relationship with time, as well as the restrictions or internal obstacles we face. Pluto can provide insight into the source of deep, transformative impulses.

Saturn is associated with limitations, boundaries, and restrictions, and is often seen as a teacher AND taskmaster. He can represent the challenges and obstacles that we encounter, as well as the need for discipline, responsibility, and commitment. And similarly, Pluto is known for its transformative power and association with the underworld, often described by the cycle of death, rebirth, and regeneration, as well as energies of power struggles and hidden forces. When it comes to personal transformation, Pluto can represent the deep, unconscious forces that guide us and the need to confront our fears and shadows in order to rise to the occasion by growing and evolving.
