Like most retrograde cycles, it will have us reflect on our past experiences. Pluto is in an air sign, so this will be connected to our relationships and what we want to preserve, especially with Mars in Leo's opposition to this sign throughout all of May.
There are different levels to this transit, because while we focus on protecting the connections that matter, we also may want to be more independent and free. Balancing this is important now as well. Pluto is here to help us work hard for what we want, assuming we truly desire it. The dreams that are no longer aligned with us will either change or dissipate during retrograde.
Until October 13, 2025, we will learn more about the path we want to go on, the people we want to have surrounding us, and the way we view ourselves. Pluto in Aquarius will connect us and transform our philosophies when it comes to what community and family mean to us. Find out how it affects each zodiac sign.

Pluto stationing retrograde has you analyzing your friendships and considering the people in your life, including the people you’ve met in the past and how they have impacted you. Over the next few months, reflect on your desired path and consider the relationships you want to expand upon. Remember to take your time with finding happiness.
This energy is also very vibrant because it’s still in opposition to Mars, a good time to focus on your creative ideas and learn how to honor them. Don’t let the setbacks from the past make you think negatively of your failures. Instead, channel your ambitions into new objectives because your experiences will continue to help you evolve.
Taurus

Pluto retrograde is a very important time for you, Taurus, because the synergy is happening during your season, bringing a lot of new ideas and new elements to the highest point of your chart. This is a good time for you to analyze what you want to create and build over the next six months. Your ideas now will be very potent, especially when Mercury enters your sign on May 10, which can bring about breakthroughs even though it can feel challenging at times.
Mars is in opposition to Pluto early in May, which can help you work harder and be wiser because this fixed energy is slow and patient. You can create something amazing when you focus and don’t let anything else deter you.
Gemini

Pluto is making an aspect to your sign, a magnificent energy making you more passionate about your goals, developing your skills, and immersing yourself in hobbies. You’re going to transform your philosophy and belief system while expanding your network of friends and colleagues.
This is a very meaningful Pluto retrograde for you, Gemini, because you’ve already endured this powerful energy under Saturn’s guidance. Prepare for more expansive energy, confidence, and knowledge that awaits you, especially now that Jupiter is going to enter a new sign.
Cancer

Pluto in Aquarius will be very different from Pluto in Capricorn, an energy you have been accustomed to for the last several decades, because it’s finally away from your partnership house — a time to breathe a bit. However, it is still going to be very potent because you will have to face some memories from the past.
Pluto retrograde has you tapping into your inner child and making you more aware of what needs healing. You’re going to be doing the work, especially with Mars in opposition to Pluto in Aquarius fueling your transformation.
You're evolving into the most powerful version of yourself throughout this retrograde, Cancer. During this time, find things and hobbies that bring you joy and heal your inner child. Do whatever brings you happiness because this energy is all about incorporating love and cheer into your world.
Leo
Design: YourTango
Pluto retrograde in opposition to your sign means that you will have to be very relationship-oriented, and this doesn’t mean only romance. This also means friendships, colleagues, classmates, and business partners. You’re going to have to learn how to be the best version of yourself when it comes to working with other people.
Your communication style is transforming as Mercury enters fellow fixed sign Taurus from May 10-25. This is going to be a great time for you to be more charming, relatable, and understanding with others. You are here to change and grow because Pluto wants you to be a leader, prepared for what awaits.
Virgo

You may feel like you already have enough on your plate with Saturn currently bringing a lot of changes to your relationship house. Because Saturn is ready to enter a new sign soon, Pluto retrograde wants you to change how you work with others.
You prefer to isolate, analyze, and observe, Virgo. But now, you’re going to have to push yourself to be more collaborative and understanding, so you can better relate to others in order to work well with them. This means switching up your routines to accommodate others as well.
Pluto also wants you to be in tiptop shape. You may start a new routine in a group setting that allows you to connect more with your community.
Libra
Design: YourTango
Many inspiring, wondrous, and potent changes await with Pluto making a trine to your sign. You welcome the changes that come with it since the energy is happening in one of your relationship houses.
Pluto retrograde makes you more optimistic when it comes to meeting new people — however, you will attract Plutonian personality types moving forward, who can sometimes be controlling and intense. During Pluto retrograde, be mindful of the people you allow in your inner circle. Stay focused and don’t let those rose-colored glasses control you. This is the time to analyze who you’re with; this means friends or partners going forward. Pluto does not want you to be codependent and wants you to be analytical and observant.
Scorpio
Design: YourTango
You are already feeling the energy now with Pluto currently aspecting your sign, impacting your home and inner space. Pluto transforms things around you, so this could be the time you want to learn more about family and the connections surrounding your history.
You may be preparing to move, or you may have already moved into a new home. However, this does not imply a literal move. Perhaps your current home may undergo construction or interior design changes over the next several years.
Pluto’s energy may also usher in a mental and spiritual change. Overall, the transit will have you contemplate what home means to you and how you are focusing on making it your comfort space.
Sagittarius
Design: YourTango
Sagittarius, Pluto wants you to stop silencing yourself and prepare to write or explore new topics. The energy can help you grow as a creator since Pluto wants you to find your voice.
During retrograde, dig up, look through what you’ve produced over the last several years, and start working on it again. Don’t be afraid to make changes or to rework it. The point is to inspect it, make changes, edit, and be confident in what you create. Pluto wants you to be ready to share your craft with the world.
If the Saturn in Aquarius transit crushed your confidence a couple of years back, you have plenty of time to rebuild and focus on evolving your skills. Pluto makes learning exciting for you, which can help you advance and prosper, especially during this retrograde.
Capricorn
Design: YourTango
You can rejoice, Capricorn, because Pluto is no longer in your sign and now you can breathe. The focus now will be on your finances and how you view your material possessions. Pluto retrograde gives you a wake-up call, especially if you’ve been splurging. It's time to mature when it comes to what you will possess. Be mindful of spending habits.
You may be more focused on building a better financial structure during Pluto retrograde, but it can also have you reflecting on your relationships. Consider this your chance to officially close that chapter centered on revisiting your past romantic experiences.
Aquarius
Design: YourTango
Pluto in your sign accentuates your charm and magnetism. Because Mars will be in opposition early in May, the main theme for this transit will be relationships. Pluto wants you to create better relationships and stronger acquaintances.
Over the next several months, you will learn how to level up. Pluto retrograde tests your foundation, making you question your worth and potential. Being more cooperative with others, protecting your friendships, and putting in the effort to resolve conflicts with others will be beneficial for you at this time. Pluto wants to show you that having a good support system is essential, but you will have to strengthen the relationship you have with yourself first in order to make your other relationships flourish.
Pisces
Design: YourTango
Although you can be selfless, Pluto retrograde serves as a friendly reminder that you need to be more selfish at times. Think deeply about what your needs are. While you may enjoy prioritizing others, you will see how it is important to nourish yourself with attention and self-care.
During the Mars and Pluto opposition early in May, treat and focus on protecting your energy. Go slow. Be patient with yourself. Take the breaks that you need if you can. Make the weekends or whenever you have free time the moment to honor and love yourself, because Pluto can be challenging.
Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. During this retrograde, cheer yourself on and root for yourself because you’re learning how to be a winner through the combination of Saturn and Pluto’s lessons.
