As Pluto continues its retrograde, it leaves Aquarius for a moment and re-enters Capricorn this morning. This motion reminds us of the lessons we learned from Pluto in Capricorn, making sure we never repeat the same mistakes. If you’re thinking about going back to an ex, today Pluto’s retrograde in Capricorn reminds you that it’s the wrong decision.
It’s a good time to leave habits that no longer serve us. We will find ourselves feeling in control of our personal life and relationships, and we’ll be blessed with the will to finally cut off toxic partners and friends who do nothing but add to our already heavy emotional baggage.
To learn how Pluto’s retrograde in Capricorn affects your sign, read more below.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, work will be especially tough today, but don’t let it affect your personal relationships. If you’ve been berated by your bosses, don’t direct your frustration to your partner or a family member. Remind yourself that you might not be in control of what happens, but you can always choose how you react—and choosing to love your people, even if you’re having a hard time, is always the best choice to make.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You don’t like change, Taurus, but more than that, you don’t like it when your beliefs and convictions are challenged—but that’s what Pluto’s retrograde in Capricorn will teach you today. You will not always be right, and it’s fine. Even if you lose arguments with your partner, that doesn’t mean they will love you less. Being proven wrong doesn’t mean being a disappointment, and you have to learn how to handle new learnings when they come your way instead of detracting from them because you’re too proud to let them in.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, today you’re given a chance to dive deeper into yourself. If you’re single, it’s a good time to look at your past and learn from the mistakes you’ve made in your relationships so you don’t make them again. But if you’re in a relationship, you will be forced to look at what is wrong right now. It can make you feel uncomfortable at first, but know that in the long run, being able to overcome any challenge that comes your way can only strengthen the bond between you and your partner.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Power dynamics in your romantic relationships will change today, Cancer, and it will be extremely uncomfortable. Your partner might get a promotion or a raise, which might make you feel insecure about your job. If you’re dating, you might feel insecure of the hundreds of people who are better than you, making you wonder if you’re worthy. Don’t let these changes affect the way you see yourself, Cancer. Regardless of your status, you’ll always be worthy of love.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Your failures will hurt your pride today, Leo, but don’t take it as a personal attack. Don’t beat yourself up for being with the wrong person in the past, and don’t tell yourself you should’ve known better, because now, you do. The important thing is to remember not to keep making the same mistakes over and over again, and if you constantly make an effort to be a better person than you were yesterday, you’re doing just fine.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo, don’t let your inner control freak take over today, as you might end up hurting your loved ones if you’re not careful. Even if you feel paranoid about the million different possibilities your love life could go wrong, controlling your partner’s behavior to avoid these is never the right way to cope. Even the most patient and loving partner will get tired of you if you don’t stop controlling them. Remember that in a relationship, you’re a unit, but you’re still two different people with different needs that you can’t control.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, today’s transit will bring you back home. But what is home? Is it the family you were born with? The circle of friends you carefully chose? Or the arms of the person you love? Whatever it is, you will encounter problems that might rock your relationship with your home. Don’t let it break you apart—instead, use the pressure to build a better foundation. You will emerge as better people in the end.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)
Scorpio, life’s been so monotonous and routinely lately and you miss feeling excited. Ask yourself: do you need to change something, or are you just confusing stability with monotony? Maybe you were used to the kind of love that changes every day. The one where you don’t know if you’ll get a loving partner or an abusive monster on any given day. So now that you’ve found a healthy, consistent love, don’t let yourself confuse it for monotony.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius, you want to give yourself everything you deserve, but what is “everything?” Is it material things, luxurious gifts, first class plane rides, and five-star hotels? Or is it unconditional love and caring? While everyone needs a little bit of luxury every now and again, a life of pure materialism is hollow and sad. So if you know you can have real, unconditional love from your friends, romantic partner, and family, don’t deny it from yourself.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn, you’re looking inwardly today and evaluating the problems you might be going through in your love life. You want to fix all of them at once, because you know you’ll be a better person by the end of the process. But change and growth cannot happen overnight. Your heart is in the right place, but you’ve got to be patient. Don’t let this feeling be fleeting—the hardest thing is to keep doing it every day, but if you keep at it, you’ll certainly get the love and life you deserve.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius, you put everything you feel under a microscope—you zoom in and out and pick and prod in hopes of understanding them, but even with all these efforts, you never really did. It’s time to let yourself sit with the discomfort of difficult feelings rather than intellectualizing them. The only way you’ll learn how to love yourself and open yourself to the possibility of it is when you finally allow yourself to be vulnerable.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces, you love your friends more than anything in the world, and that means no one else in the world can hurt you more than them. You already get hurt in the outside world, and today you’re met with the sobering reality that your friends can do the same. They’re not perfect, Pisces, and you don’t have to put up with their BS all the time, but if they’re willing to learn, they’re still worth your time. If they’re not, that’s how you know you need to find better ones.
