Pluto is now at 29° in Capricorn. These are the last two weeks with Pluto in Capricorn, marking the end of a 16-year era. On November 19, 2024, Pluto enters Aquarius, ushering in a new two-decade era under the sign of Aquarius.
But to really move on, we need to make sure we’ve learned our lessons. Otherwise, Pluto’s move into Aquarius won’t change much; we will continue to repeat the same mistakes, both individually and collectively. “The trouble, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”
Of course, real change takes time. That’s why Pluto transits are so long! Pluto brings the “mess” to the surface. The process of confronting corruption and what has degraded ultimately leads us to better and more sustainable solutions.
Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2024) – General themes
Economic reorganization and financial systems
The global financial crisis of 2008 exposed major weaknesses in financial systems, leading to systemic reforms and increased regulation (Capricorn themes).
–> In response, alternative economic initiatives such as cryptocurrencies (eg Bitcoin) and crowdfunding platforms (eg Kickstarter) have emerged.
Centralization of power and authority at the top
Movements like #MeToo, the Epstein scandal and, more recently, allegations against figures like P. Diddy have exposed abuses of authority and the hidden dynamics of power and secrecy.
–> In 2024, it is much harder to exploit those with less power than it was in 2008, because people have become more vigilant and such abuses are much less tolerated.
Structural changes in society
In 2008, social structures were dominated by big governments and corporations. The average individual had limited options, usually a 9-to-5 work schedule with little opportunity for personal growth or flexibility.

–> The Covid-19 crisis has destabilized these Capricorn structures. As a result, people now enjoy more freedom, with many working from home. Others, after going through the trauma of job loss, found new, more authentic professional paths.
Pluto – Loss of power, Awareness, Transformation
Pluto’s process is always the same: loss of power, awareness and transformation. It is through the initial experience of disempowerment that we discover our inner strength and power. During Pluto’s transit through Capricorn, we witnessed various forms of disempowerment, such as the expansion of institutional control – whether it comes from the family, the state, corporations, or other hierarchical systems.
The traditional idea that you can have a career, stay in one job and retire with a secure pension has become increasingly uncertain. Pluto taught us that we need to rely less on the stability provided by the state or large corporations and constantly reinvent ourselves to adapt and secure our resources in new, self-sufficient ways.
