Pluto goes into retrograde (moving backwards) on April 22nd 2018 and the retrograde ends on September 30th, 2018. Both the start date and finish date are in the sign of Capricorn.

This retrograde is all about us.

Sometimes during cosmic shifts or planetary rotations and its influence on our own world, community, and bodies, the energy is focused on our romantic relationships, occupation, or other things outside of our own being. This retrograde is all about turning inward and navigating our own minds. It’s normal for this time to be filled with heightened energy around our insecurities, fears, and all other mental struggles.

This is a time where battling ourselves is almost inevitable. This is a time where we need to gracefully do our inner work. Now is a perfect time to really listen to yourself, your needs, who you want to be, and where you want to go.
