Pluto retrograde, May 2029

Pluto stations retrograde on 11 May 2029 at 10°27' Aquarius and then appears to move backward against the stars until it stations direct on 21 October 2029 at 8°03' Aquarius. The retrograde lasts 163.0 days and stays in Aquarius throughout. Counting the shadow periods, Pluto works over this stretch of the zodiac from 16 January 2029 until 12 February 2030.

Astrologers associate Aquarius with groups, networks, shared ideals and independent thinking, and they read Pluto as the planet of depth, power and slow transformation. The tradition treats its retrograde as a quieter, inward phase, when questions about influence and belonging are reviewed rather than pushed forward. A modest way to use these months is to look honestly at which commitments to groups or causes still feel like your own, and which you keep out of habit.
