Some planets attract more our attention than others when translating from one sign to another one. Pluto is one of them since it is the one taking more time to complete a whole cycle around the Sun, and the change happens after many years. During the following decades, it will be in Aquarius from our perspective, and then will enter into the sign of abysses and wholeness. But what the transit across Aquarius means?

Related to Hades, the god of hell in Greek mythology, it has bad fame and is classically associated to negative situations such as thefts, harassment, destruction, offences... From an esoteric point of view, and for not alluding to romantic approaches about what it indicates, let's consider "processes in perspective". For instance:

Saturn, son of Uranus, and transiting on Libra, may be great for living together, arriving at fair agreements, saving action fields that preserve chances to implement some type of regulation, or developing balanced relationships, whereas when the planet is transiting Gemini may take us to make fun of laws as well as lack of humor. When a transit or emplacement is a complicated one, the sign of exaltation is always the best point of reference we may find (Libra for Saturn). It happens the same with Pluto.

Pluto is exalted in Sagittarius, the sign of the archer who doesn't see beyond what's on his mind, who follows his own path and according to his reasoning. Pluto is a planet gathering strength (like Venus), keeping it inside and storing (almost like Taurus), and goes on feeding by using contacts (in the context, with people, objects). But, unlike the goddess of love and the bull's sensorial world, a good amount of the energy Pluto absorbs is finally poured on psychic areas, even the one originated from physical activity.

With Pluto in Aquarius, the mentioned absorption will acquire many different forms and, because of the karma of those born in the 2nd semester 2023, each form will try to be the first one, the most shared, taken or predominating way. It will imply big quarrels and convulsed experiences. We won't find the only forms of Sagittarius, and consensus won't be important because Aquarius is precisely a quite individual sign, usually living its own life without trying to reproduce itself or make other people alike. But it is a sign of sharing, transmitting and creating networks. During all these types of activities, we may not find fanatic reasons supporting activities or decisions but big fights for concentrating energy at a high scale.

The problem about the transit might be that resources are usually limitated, and everything cannot be everywhere at the same time. Besides, concentrations create unavoidable imbalances, which may bring shortage problems during this period...

The transit will also bring a very particular and individual type of consciousness: the way each single person is connected to their own inner reserves, and gathers things for the own benefit. Aquarius' collective meaning is precisely indicated by this type of experience emerging in each consciousness and looking for being expanded.

During all the staying in the sign, the planet will form aspects to the nodes of human karma in Aries-Libra, in three key moments: at the beginning, middle and end of the transit. So we'll see three milestones creating a progressive sequence towards the complete development of Aquarius. Some details of each milestone are described below but the global tendency will be a lot of inner motion and a great force within channeled to try the own, communicate and take ahead what each person has in mind, as if it wouldn't be no other choice. In shared areas, it will be a challenge about tolerance and co-existence. In private life, we'll reach a deep knowledge about what we want to keep inside, and the way we want to keep it.

By April 2025, Neptune will transit on Aries, dissolving hardness and favoring experiences impelled by collective actions rather than private ones. The transit will last until March 2038, changing intentions and the most basic motivations radically, which will be better appreciated as time passes by. We'll lose focus on what seemed to be very clear time before, well defined or even desired. A more impersonal, like an unsigned tone, will be extended across many situations, whatever be the field of action.

It will be a process of karmic liberation during which personal urgencies will be slowly decreasing as well as the effects in the future that might have been created and projected since now. Neptune's tone will prepare us for the transit of Pluto on Pisces (2042) but until then, and while Pluto be taking ahead Aquarius' development, the effects will be different.

July 2023 indicates a karmic cycle with the satellite's nodes entering Aries and Libra since day 18. To know more details, we have to look at each birth chart and see the way the Sun, birth Moon, planets and other important points are related to nodes. Any generic interpretation may be changed with just a single astrological indicator in a special area or convergence.

Anyway, nodes in those signs are usually associated to individual consciousness (Aries) and relational consciousness (Libra). As it happens with any other couple of opposites, each one of them is defined depending on the other one. In Aries' karma, we'll see an impelling to action, initiative, individuality, willing to arrive at destiny even before starting the journey, with the characteristic fresh moments of first encounters in any type of activity, with a clear thinking and without confusion. Instead, Libra's karma always starts from looking at the two components of any company, considering other people, alternating with other positions, also speculating according to other positions, and tending to balance (although not reaching it since once it is achieved, then we'll find Aries again impulsing to move towards another specific goal, altering balance).

People born during the nodes' cycle will experience a type of karma quite in tune with Pluto's transit (2). What may seem decades of disorders or very strong quarrels to other generations, will be experienced fluently by new-born people as events take place, and we shouldn't be surprised by the easy way they go through them or the wide perspective they provide us from an early age. This generation has foreseen, knows from before, doesn't need to be prepared for. They're people displaying a karma of expansion, incorporated knowledge and transcendence of goals, quite skilful to really let things go, and also doing it quite drastically.

They will express these characteristics in a vivid way after their 20-years birthday, when Pluto have had finished the transit on Aquarius. But previously, three very special karmic moments will take place, quite lively instances during current times although expressing the type of karma that brought  them to the world.

Birth charts of those born from July to December 2023 show a quite intense karma, hard to be channeled in concrete activities or towards clearly defined pathways. They wont' show always a stable mood and may experience some ups and downs in the economic area, a lot of inconstancy and repeated raisings, disturbing resting times in concrete terms.

They'll be quite aware of feelings and what turns them into creative people, and will establish dynamic relationships (even Taurine natives). But it will be hard for them to make decisions, set a direction or concentrate on something they are specifically interested in. They won't consider establishing a long-term direction as and important matter either, or even retaining what they have. The memory of experiences they might keep within during these months will be a milestone for considering later where they will pour the energy on, the way they will relate to other people and how much effort and constancy they will be willing to invest on what they want.

Other characteristic of birth karma will make them stay in tune with the sensorial experiences they live at each moment, without worrying too much about undefinitions. They will also remember quite well what they want, the quality of exchanges, what is matching or not, and the way feelings and relationships grow or become weakened.

These characteristics might be difficult for natives counting on other configurations in the sky but those born during this period won't take it that way since their birth charts are not indicating specific karmic tendencies as directions to be followed or even some other ones being favored or complicated to be expressed in daily life's conditions. Inconstancy and undefinition will just be, whereas abundance will come and go without they care too much about it.

They will feel widely comfortable about circumstances luck brings, even if not getting concrete results. They've born for leaving no karmic traces, after coming into the world and establishing relationships. They will probably take vital energy from many situations, which esoterically means removing tendencies and projections from the evolutional axis. If, during the process, material affairs were not plenty achieved, we should see natives are in a process of changing areas, relations and forms, as if their very lives would depend on that.

As it was mentioned, milestones will take place at the beginning, middle term and final moments during Pluto's transit on Aquarius (positions are mentioned for the time each contact with nodes begins). Contacts are two initial squares to both nodes (2023), then are sextiles to Node in Aries (2033, 2042), and will always start in dates when the lunar axis enters the polarity (last degrees of signs). The table also includes North Node's positions for North Hemisphere, for those dates (for Southern areas, reverse the polarity of signs).
