Pluto Retrograde Packs A Big Punch & Every Zodiac Sign Will Be Affected

Sometimes you have to go through the dark in order to get to the light. This is precisely what the essence of transformative Pluto is all about. Ready or not, your Pluto retrograde 2021 horoscope is here to help you shed your snake skin and take your power back. Beginning on April 27 at exactly 4:02 p.m. ET, the lord of the underworld will begin its backward shift until it stations direct on Oct. 6, 2021.

Relentlessly smoldering, the best way to describe Pluto's mystifying presence and celestial expression is by visualizing the intensity and purification process that comes with every metamorphosis. Everything Pluto comes in contact with is bound to experience a catharsis of sorts, as it is a catalyst for transformation and renewal. While the thought of purging what no longer serves your highest good might instinctually seem burdensome, Pluto continues to remind you that change is the only thing that's constant.

Despite its notoriety for being the cosmic grim reaper, Pluto's power goes far beyond what you can imagine. This malefic planet governs all things related to death, karma, sex, taboo, transformation, and everything hidden beneath the surface. Secrets are unacceptable when Pluto's around, and in Capricorn, it'll stop at nothing to expose what lacks honesty and integrity. The misuse of authority and power will not be tolerated.

Take a second to reflect on the control issues you've experienced as of late. Where do you feel like your power is being taken away from you? Where do you feel victimized and/or manipulated? It's time for you to take your power back.

If you want to know what's in store for you during Pluto retrograde, according to your zodiac sign, there's only one way to find out:

This could also be in terms of your professional colleagues, so be sure to keep an open mind during this time.
