Pluto, the ruling planet of Scorpio, takes 248 years to orbit the Zodiac. In August 2024, Pluto is in its transit phase from Capricorn to Aquarius. This transition began on January 20, 2024, and Pluto remains in Aquarius until September 2, 2024, before retrograding. Here is how it affects Scorpio: - In Capricorn: Boosts regenerative potential, beneficial since Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008. Full exit in November 2024. - In Aquarius: Creates discordance, signifying adaptation and self-adjustment as Scorpio experiences internal conflict. Key period in Aquarius: January 20 - September 2, 2024.
From May 16, 2023, to May 25, 2024, Jupiter transits Taurus. It also forms a conjunction with Uranus on April 21, 2024, essential for: - Personal Relationships: Enhancing partnerships, significant for marriage or key relationships. - Financial Moves: Occupying financial sectors; promotes growth and resource expansion when it enters Gemini (May 25, 2024 - June 9, 2025).
Neptune has been in Pisces since 2012, influencing: - Creativity and Intuition: The area of love, romance, and artistic pursuits. Gives Scorpio access to higher intuition. - Saturn Conjunction: Joins Saturn, reinforcing the realization of dreams. Preparation required in 2024 for the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in 2025-2026.
