Hi, it’s Keiko. 

On April 27th, a Full Moon in Scorpio occurred, and the period of all ten planets moving in forward motion also came to an end.  The planet that was first to go into retrograde was none other than the ruler of Scorpio, Pluto.

Pluto is located so far away from the Sun that its retrograde period lasts for several months.  This time Pluto will remain in retrograde until October 6th 2021.  

When we think of retrograde, the first thing that comes to mind is usually Mercury Retrograde, but today let’s take some time to explore what Pluto Retrograde represents. 

What type of planet is Pluto? 

Along with Uranus and Neptune, Pluto is one of the outer planets.  It takes about 250 years for Pluto to do a complete journey through all twelve zodiac signs.  Pluto is sometimes referred to as the “Supreme Ruler of the Sky” because of the energy it possesses, and in spite of its small size, it actually has a very great influence on us. 

Pluto is responsible for governing the polar opposites of “destruction and resurrection” and “all or nothing” and, for example, it’s in charge of destroying things that are out of step with the times and rebuilding them anew. 

On a personal level, Pluto is responsible for supporting “major transformations.”  It provides us with the energy to promote change, or to be reborn. 

What is the message of Pluto Retrograde? 

When retrograde occurs, a planet’s energy “turns inward.”  That means that what used to exert an outward influence now turns inward and begins to store up power. 

When it comes to Mercury Retrograde, the keywords are “looking back” and “reviewing” right?  Well, it’s exactly the same when it comes to Pluto Retrograde, since its energy is directed inside of us.  

Pluto’s retrograde, which governs transformation, rebirth, and resurrection, signifies that it’s time for rebirth and self-improvement. 

Specifically: 

• Skills that have yet to be revealed

• Talents that have yet to be awakened

• Skills that you have yet to show others

are what you need to reconsider, refine, and improve in order to become in sync with the times. 

In the Air Era, the focus is on individual skills, qualities and talents, and the path to success is to fully utilize the gifts that were bestowed to you by the Universe. 

With the change from the Earth Era to the Air Era, the society in which we live is changing drastically.  That’s why it’s time for us to be reborn, develop new ways of thinking, and foster a new sense of self-worth (self-affirmation) that is suitable with the Air Era. 

During the days and weeks ahead, why not take a fresh look inside yourself and seek to discover the talents that remain unawakened, the skills that you have not yet revealed, and the shining gifts that continue to lie dormant within you?
