General Daily Insight for September 01, 2024
The planets are keeping themselves busy today. The Moon in Leo gets right down to business when it conjoins messenger Mercury. Next, change-maker Uranus spins retrograde in stable-minded Taurus, giving us time to acclimate to any recent changes. Retrograde Pluto will slip back into Capricorn at 8:10 pm EDT. We should contemplate any ongoing projects with Pluto’s power motivating us, as once Pluto leaves Capricorn in November, it won’t return for over 200 years. This productivity is boosted even further by Luna entering efficient Virgo.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You’re not the type to ignore your ambitions, Aries. Their draw is hyped up even more during serious Pluto’s return to Capricorn and your 10th House of Career. Brace yourself! This transit will be the final chapter of a cycle that began back in 2008 when Pluto first arrived in this sector. Pluto has been all about your reputation and professional ambitions during this cycle, so your rewards should match the effort that you’re putting in. This is not the time for slacking off.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
There is still so much of the world for you to explore, and you shouldn’t keep putting it off. The cosmos is emphasizing going beyond what you know as transformational Pluto retrogrades into your 9th House of Expansion, pushing you to explore new territory and broaden your horizons. A certain far-off location, spiritual practice, or academic interest could be a major catalyst for this. Even if you can’t physically travel, you can open your mind by researching your recent interests or desired destinations.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
You haven’t yet reached the finish line, but you can see it on the horizon. Pluto is sliding back into your secretive 8th house for the next couple of months, which could feel like the last stage in a major growth spurt that’s been playing out for quite a while. You may need to come to terms with some important people, especially if aspects of their behavior or their expectations of you aren’t healthy. Once that weight is gone, you’ll be able to sprint forward!
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Take a second glance at your most significant relationships. They deserve some focused evaluation as Pluto returns to your partnership sector for one last visit this century. This can mean sounding out your current connections or simply working on how you approach various relationships — potential future ones included. You may experience one or two tough power plays in this arena, but this is a necessary lesson in exerting your power. You’re learning when to flex your muscles and when to fold.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
What part of your life could use the most organization? Pluto is retrograding into your 6th House of Daily Work from today into November, reminding you that in order to play hard, you must first work hard. The office (or your usual place of work) may feel rather like a minefield during this time, so step with care. The good news is that you can indeed emerge from this cycle with flying colors, waving the flag of victory. Don’t back down now!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You have so much to offer, so don’t keep it all to yourself! You’re on the receiving end of a major planetary push to put yourself out there as Pluto returns to your 5th House of Creativity for one final burst of energy. A project you’ve been working on may finally be ready for its big reveal. Your efforts can pack quite the punch when you take the time to make sure they’re perfectly polished. An excited audience is waiting!
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Dynamic energy is bubbling up under your roof — potentially literally. Alchemical Pluto is backing up into your domestic 4th house, where it could stir up complications and conflict within your home and family structures. Whether emotional or physical, this is the home stretch of their active phase. Be prepared for old issues or feelings to come to a conclusion, one way or another. Thankfully, settling things once and for all should be refreshing, even if the process isn’t easy. Stability is waiting for you.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Your communication style is coming under cosmic review. Pluto is retrograding into your talkative 3rd house until mid-November, which is the last time Pluto will occupy this sector for over two centuries. During the next couple of months, it can be easy to wield your words like weapons, but remember that they are tools, first and foremost. Do your best to utilize them in a way that benefits everyone, including yourself. Focus on becoming the most verbally efficient and helpful version of you.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Your relationship to your finances is undergoing a change. Your 2nd House of Material Wealth is receiving potent energy as alchemical Pluto returns to this sector for the next couple of months, guiding you through learning a lesson or two regarding your money and how you value it. You may begin to question certain ideas you’ve always clung to regarding your needs and financial security, and there is nothing wrong with that! Asking questions in the present will lead to greater clarity in the future.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
It’s not your imagination, Capricorn — deep power is rising to the surface within you. Today marks Pluto’s return to your 1st House of Self-Expression, which gives you direct access to Pluto’s transformational energy. No matter how cautious you typically are regarding change, this transit could see some vital shifts culminate in your life. Your very identity may transform, and you’re in charge of this transition — for better or worse. Do your best to make the most of this special yet intense opportunity.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You’ve got some letting go to do. Pluto is returning to your 12th House of Endings, signifying the final section in a major chapter of your life. Quiet doesn’t mean easy, but you must get through this last page before you can begin a fresh one when Pluto returns to your sign in November. There is no need to rush into this, so give yourself permission to hibernate a bit longer. You’ll need all the rest and relaxation you can get!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Today, even the best of your friendships may struggle adapting to necessary changes in the lives of you and your pals. Pluto is retrograding back into your 11th House of Social Networks, centering the transformative impact of major life events on your connections with others. Until it leaves in November, brace yourself for conflict — thankfully, weathering these storms can ultimately strengthen these relationships. This may eliminate people from your life, but trust that if anyone does leave, then it’s for the best.
