When Pluto Retrograde Ends in Aquarius, Your Visions Are Ready for Action

Viva la revolución! On October 13, shadowy Pluto ends a five-month retrograde. Pluto resumes forward motion in Aquarius where it will be until 2044! Here’s your horoscope for when Pluto retrograde ends.

After five months spent simmering in a low-power retrograde, alchemical Pluto wakes up and turns direct in humanitarian Aquarius. Pluto’s backspin, which began on May 4, inspired deep reflection—especially around your systems, structures and social circles that needed a serious transformation.

With the metamorphic planet back in forward motion, you have the green light to start acting on your game-changing visions. But no need to rush! Pluto is in the early stages of its long transit through the Water Bearer’s realm, which lasts until January 19, 2044!

Over the next two decades, Pluto in Aquarius will bring radical shifts in technology, social justice and how we connect with our communities. Look for ways to improve your corner of the not-so-lonely planet. Whether you’re syncing up with family, starting an organization or joining an existing one, this powerful transit helps you find strength in numbers.

Mission possible when Pluto retrograde ends in Aquarius

When Pluto completes its annual backspin on October 13, you can get back to your missions with focus. If you’ve been unsure about whether to pursue a certain direction, the five-month period of soul-searching may have helped you.

To break it down: Pluto puts us through the paces. Aquarius is the “one love” sign that wants peace and unity. But Pluto destroys everything that is ready to be alchemized into a new form.

It takes 250 years for the metamorphic planet to cycle through the zodiac. This is the first time (and last time) we’ll experience Pluto in Aquarius. Because Pluto hovers in a single sign for between 12-20 years, it’s one of the outer planets that shapes generational trends.

With deep-diving Pluto in high-minded Aquarius for an unbroken 20-year leg, we can expect groundbreaking transformations to our Aquarian areas of life: science, technology, space travel, democracy, populism and the distribution of community resources.

Progress is Aquarius’ hallmark and this Pluto cycle will inevitably burn away our resistance to evolving as a species. As the icy dwarf makes lengthy stays in each zodiac sign, these periods indelibly shape history. On a personal level, see your sign’s Pluto in Aquarius horoscope below!

Pluto direct in Aquarius horoscopes

Pluto’s direct (forward) pivot can help if you’ve struggled to process anything buried in your unconscious, from grief to resentment to addictive or compulsive tendencies. During Pluto retrograde (May 4 to October 13, 2025), you may have unearthed some root causes. Now, you can take action to heal and deal.

Sometimes, with Pluto in the house, decisions have to come down to the lesser of two evils. As we plunder our way through a historically chaotic presidential administration in the U.S., for example, we have a chance to put our own teachable moments to work.

Below are horoscopes for what you can expect when Pluto retrograde ends in Aquarius on October 13. Pluto stays in direct motion in Aquarius until May 6, 2026, when it goes into its annual retrograde until October 15, 2026.

Aries (Mar 20-Apr 19): A power reboot for Team Aries

All for one? Or time to part ways? When Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your eleventh house of groups on October 13, the fog lifts around your social and collaborative circles. Since May, Pluto’s backspin may have exposed power plays or left you questioning who really has your back. Now, stalled projects can regain momentum—and you’ll know whether a team still has dream potential or if it’s time to step away. With clarity comes confidence. Align with the allies who energize your vision and help you build something lasting. Aries horoscopes, read more!


Taurus (Apr 19-May 20): Power moves, not power struggles

What’s the long game, Taurus? On October 13, Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your tenth house of career and public image, clearing the fog around professional ambitions. Since May, behind-the-scenes tension—boss drama, inner doubt, shifting goals—may have stalled your momentum. Pluto’s rewind likely forced you to confront what’s not working, especially if parts of your path felt out of sync with your deeper purpose. Now, with Pluto moving forward, you’re free to play smarter, not harder. Reclaim your ambition with a sharper strategy—and present yourself as the powerhouse you are. Taurus horoscopes, read more!


Gemini (May 20-Jun 20): Faith meets follow-through

Clarity returns October 13 as Pluto ends its retrograde in Aquarius and your expansive ninth house. After months of questioning your path—or yourself—you’re ready to move forward with vision and a strategy. Since May, doubt may have crept in, clouding your confidence in a big idea, educational pursuit, or entrepreneurial dream. But Pluto’s shadow work wasn’t for nothing. You’ve been refining your message, testing your beliefs, and now, you’re emerging wiser and bolder. As momentum returns, trust your instincts, but pair your optimism with a rock-solid plan. Growth doesn’t have to mean leaping blind. Gemini horoscopes, read more!


Cancer (Jun 20-Jul 22): From shadow to substance

Emotional fog lifts October 13 as Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your intimate eighth house. Since May, buried feelings—jealousy, fear, longing—may have stirred below the surface, asking to be seen and understood. Now, with Pluto moving direct, you’re ready to unpack what’s been weighing on your heart. Whether it’s a financial entanglement, a complicated connection or your own evolving desires, clarity returns and with it, your power. A stuck relationship or stalled project may finally shift. And if your sensual spark’s been MIA? Pluto’s awakening could bring it back with (good) intensity. Cancer horoscopes, read more!


Leo (Jul 22-Aug 22): Power plays or true partnership?

Relationship clarity returns October 13 as Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your seventh house of one-on-one connections. If tensions have simmered with a partner, ex or close collaborator, expect dynamics to shift (for the better). Since May, Pluto’s rewind may have surfaced buried resentment or exposed unhealthy patterns. Now, you can cut through the projection and see where the real imbalance lies. Who’s showing up—and who’s just siphoning energy? Whether you’re deepening bonds or drawing firmer lines, Pluto’s forward motion helps you restore balance, with self-awareness leading the way. Leo horoscopes, read more!


Virgo (Aug 22-Sep 22): Wellness with depth and power

Your vitality returns October 13 as Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your sixth house of health, habits and daily structure. Since May, disruptions—stress, scheduling snafus, even mystery symptoms—may have thrown off your rhythm. Pluto, in other words, may have revealed what’s unsustainable. As the planet of transformation moves forward, clarity comes around the root causes: what you’ve been avoiding, over-controlling or silently enduring. Now’s the time to rework your routines and listen closely to your body. From gut health to mental clarity, the mind-body connection is your superpower again. Make space for healing and systems that actually support you. Virgo horoscopes, read more!


Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22): Passion or performance?

Brace for big feels, Libra. On October 13, Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your expressive fifth house, stirring passion, creativity, and some long-suppressed drama. Since May, buried emotions may have simmered beneath the surface. Now, confessions, exes and ego flare-ups could come rushing in. But before you roll out the welcome mat (or fire off that text), ask: Is this real chemistry—or just chaos in a pretty package? Use this energy to fuel your creative spark instead. Recognition for your talents is possible, as long as you stay true to your vision and not someone else’s script. Libra horoscopes, read more!


Scorpio (Oct 22-Nov 21): Heal the home within

Your emotional foundation steadies October 13, as Pluto (your ruling planet) ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your fourth house of home, roots and family. Since May, deep feelings may have surfaced, along with old wounds around belonging, trust or maternal dynamics. This has been soul work, not surface-level stuff. And now, with Pluto moving forward, you can start clearing the air, both inside your relationships and your actual spaces. Whether it’s addressing family tension, setting boundaries or transforming your home environment, the message is the same now: nurture yourself without losing yourself. Scorpio horoscopes, read more!


Sagittarius (Nov 21-Dec 21): Say what needs to be said

Your voice returns with power on October 13, as Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your third house of communication. Since May, conversations may have stalled—or stirred up more tension than clarity. Now, you’re ready to move past the overthinking and speak your truth. Whether it’s a strained sibling bond, a tricky work dynamic, or a lingering creative block, Pluto’s course correction brings the insight (and timing) to clear the air. What if what felt stuck wasn’t a dead end, but a preparation? Sagittarius horoscopes, read more!


Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 20): Redefine what security means

Stability returns October 13 as Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your second house of money, work and routines. Since May, financial stress or shaky habits may have exposed deeper patterns like limiting beliefs, control issues or the pressure to prove your worth through productivity. Now, you can rebuild with intention. Pluto’s course correction helps you ground your goals with purpose, not panic. Watch your words, too: the scripts you repeat shape your reality. Replace any scarcity stories you tell yourself with mantras that affirm your value and support the abundance you’re ready to claim. Capricorn horoscopes, read more!


Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18): Reinvention begins

After five months of deep reflection, you’re ready to emerge. On October 13, Pluto ends its retrograde in your sign, putting your personal evolution into motion. Since May, you may have felt super inward, unsure of how to show up, or who you’re becoming. This cocoon phase was necessary. You’ve been shedding old identities and learning how to assert yourself without apology. Now, the path forward clears. Whether it’s a bold style shift, a personal rebrand, or a long-awaited fresh start, you’re stepping into the world as a more aligned version of you. Whatever you’re thinking about recalibrating, it’s start time. Aquarius horoscopes, read more!


Pisces (Feb 18-Mar 20): Let go to move forward

A heavy chapter lifts on October 13, as Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Aquarius and your twelfth house of healing and closure. Since May, you’ve likely been deep in your feelings, possibly grappling with old wounds, vivid dreams or emotional ghosts that refused to stay buried. But this wasn’t backsliding, it was a clearing. Now, with Pluto moving forward, you’re free to release grief, guilt and even draining ties to reclaim your peace. Trust what your intuition has been whispering all along: some battles aren’t worth fighting, and some people aren’t meant to stay. Pisces horoscopes, read more!
