At the Still Point Of Pluto’s Retrograde station or Direct station it is time to surrender to what has been so we can move toward what is becoming.
Are you Ready for a NEW World, a NEW way of life already upon us?
On May 02, 2024 Pluto (02° Aquarius 06′) stationed Retrograde. Pluto Stations direct at its second still point of the year on October 11, 2024 at 29° Capricorn 38′ and leaves Capricorn on November 19.
Pluto will not return to Capricorn until Feb 27, 2254 when it re-enters the Zero Degree Capricorn Solstice point.
That means if you have planets angles or nodes at the last degree of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra up to 1° Aquarius, Leo, Taurus or Scorpio you are in the midst of a profound Pluto initiation of death and rebirth dying to who you think you are so you can be reborn to who you truly are.
Note the United States (USA) has completed its Pluto return with Pluto on the USA chart at 27 Capricorn 33 minutes.
However, Shadow is still being revealed around USA politics, government, and perception of this country as We The People still have a ways to go to fulfill the original intent.

Any planetary Still Point is a place of suspension or pause where the energies remain suspended – where everything possible exists before something begins to emerge. This timing lasts for many days before and after the exact station point.
The opportunity at this time is to surrender our old perceptions, along with our conditioned personal and collective experiences that have held us back – to something more enlivening, more empowering, more appealing, more entertaining, more exciting – whatever speaks to you.
This is a time for releasing something that has felt stuck, dead, painful, or bewildering that has been holding you back.
Often this is exactly what is needed to ultimately move to a more empowered situation or way of perceiving reality. Pluto in Aquarius reminds us what we believe and perceive is ultimately what creates our reality.
Dying to – or letting go of – those old perceptions and limiting beliefs is liberating and empowering beyond anything we may currently imagined.
At the Still Point Of Pluto’s Retrograde or Direct station it is time to surrender to what has been so we can move toward what is becoming.
The retrograde station is similar to a Phoenix diving into the fire, turning to ash. The station direct is a rebirth time, a rising from the ashes of what has been – though it may take a few weeks to really feel the rising up. Remember, the Phoenix chooses to die to its old form purposefully diving into the fire of transformational change.
The Window of any Pluto retrograde could be imagined as a deep dive into surrender – or dying to what has been so something new is ready to birth around the station direct.
In any process of death and rebirth – including choosing to die to all the fears and beliefs of the Old Earth, survival of the fittest, those who are strongest amass control and resources while depriving others of what is needed to thrive – the death comes first. Remember beliefs exist because of the thoughts we keep thinking. Dying to those thoughts helps us to birth a new reality.
We can ALWAYS choose to let go of those old beliefs, to surrender any attachment to what has been, and to cooperate with the process of death and rebirth, especially when it is about new sustainable ways of living that supports ALL life, not just an elite few.
It is Scary to Die and Be Reborn
One of the most challenging, scary places is the space between what is dying and what is birthing. The empty void where everything is and isn’t simultaneously, where unmanifest potential exists before birthing into manifestation.
This is a natural process – even if we resist with all that we are – the Sun sets on the day that is – before rising on a new day. The seasons continue to change and we are powerless to stop it.
So why not surrender, trust the process and choose to be the seeds for a New Earth, a new time, a new way of being?
This is about Rising from the ashes of the old into a brighter, more magical, more fulfilling new day but only if we are willing to die to what no longer serves and surrender our old limiting identities.
The reality is death is scary for most of us. We tend to resist the changes necessary to bring about new life. The resistance creates more difficulty and only delays the envitable. So during this time (when in a collective Pluto Retrograde) or in a personal Pluto Initation cycle it helps to be willing to die to what is ready to die and know that a New Birth is eminent, representing powerful alchemy – dying to our caterpillar selves and birthing as butterflies!
Ive been feeling strange, kind of apprehensive for the last few days. My ascendant @ 29 Libra would explain it. Thank you for this insight. I feel like I’m flying blind.
Oh My Goddess KAT! Yes and not only that Venus and the Sun meet at 29 Libra on October 22, 2022. It just so happens to be our 16 year wedding anniversary too so our second Venus Return. Purposely Planned as you may recall…💖🙏😇
Love what you wrote! Perfect explanation and appreciated everyones comments. Great discussion! A pluto group is a great idea for soon it will be on my Sun snd mercury in Aquarius!
Thank you Paula…so delighted you like this and YES…to a Pluto group. The challenge for me is having been in a Pluto Cycle the last couple of years I haven’t had the space to create that yet.💖🙏😇
Thank you so much for the written insights and the video. It really helps to understand the energies that are at work right now.
Thank you Viola! So glad this helpful 👍💖
Thank you Cayelin. Wonderfully thought provoking article. What comes to mind is midwives assisting the dying process.
I had a dream last week on Michaelmas Eve 12:35a that I was in a large coffin like dirt grave and had slowed my breathing and heart rate down. I was calm. Then suddenly I heard and felt a large shaking of the earth, it seemed above me was covered in rubbles and I knew I would not be getting out alive.
I woke up in real life, dry mouth, heart racing and went outside -I looked up briefly to the heavens and then went inside took a shower and washed my hair.
Pluto in my 6th,
MC 26 Aries ,
IC 26 Libra
Jupiter 22 Libra.
This time feels big for us all and in order to not be anxious about it I am going to contemplate some ritual or something/ actions I can take.
Reading a book called ‘Threefold Mary’ by Emil Bock
He was a scholar who studied Steiner and he clearly is building a picture of the feminine being the cognitive creative spiritualists and the masculine empowering that aspect. Next is the New Isis mystery by Steiner 🌟Pamela
YES…love that thought about midwives assisting the dying process. How are we midwifing the death of our old culture and worldly ways? I love that.
And you are totally describing a Pluto Initiatory experience I have had many times – waking up with heart racing, adrenaline rushing through my body in a uncomfortable way, feeling anxious for no apparent reason. It has been happening recently as I have Pluto squaring my Venus in Aries at 26 degrees…so we are both in a Pluto process at the same time.
I have had to embrace BIG life changes I was resisting but finally surrendered to and though I am still in the midst of the cycle I know I have already let go of something I really didn’t want to let go of but knew I had to and the Pluto would just be increasingly intense until I finally let go. There may be more I have yet to encounter but I know I am beyond at least one of the things that was holding me back and getting me off track from my true self.
Maybe its time to start a Pluto Support Group?💖🙏😇❤️
