Pluto is an outer planet (essentially, a long way away) which, ruling over Scorpio, represents power, transformation, and rebirth.
It impacts our planet dramatically, via things like climate change, societal unrest, governmental shifts, and in a way, it’s the boss of our newsfeeds – often scarily so.
We’re due to get a break from the outside chaos when Pluto goes into retrograde from May 5 until October 14. However, this lengthy pause will place a focus on personal transformation, authentic selfhood, true desires and beliefs.
Who are you? Pluto will guide you away from the crowd, the noise, the outside influences… back into the shadowy territory of your own true nature. Are you ready to face yourself and learn who you truly are with the help of the tarot?
Tarot can tell you who you are
My ‘Tarot Horoscope’ reading will unveil your true nature, layer by layer, by drawing cards for each of your astrological houses – your very own tarot-y birth chart.

Libra

So just let it all flow this summer and autumn. Don’t make rigid plans or try to force major decisions or changes. See what the Universe brings your way and work with what you’ve got rather than what you think you ought to have or be doing. Live the life that comes to you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for Pluto Retrograde: Ten of Cups
Meaning: Your intensity comes through your personality in many ways, not least love and romance. Few get to experience your true love side because you keep a tight circle, but it’s a powerful and everlasting love.
Let it shine! Focus on your closest relationships this retrograde and do wonderful things together, tell them how you feel, share a vulnerability, build the intimacy. The foundations you lay now can last a lifetime, invest in love.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for Pluto Retrograde: Eight of Cups
Meaning: Most folk think you’re jammy and lucky, but they don’t see all the misfortunes and mis-steps because a key part of your nature is optimism and turning setbacks into comebacks! You relish a challenge, you enjoy fighting back, you are resolutely positive and can turn disaster into opportunity more easily than any other sign.
Your Jupiter ruler helps and your life experience cemented this ability. Others envy it. Maybe you should the secret to your (supposed) good luck! It’s a mindset not a gift.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for Pluto Retrograde: Six of Cups
Meaning: Inside your ambitious, sophisticated, stoic façade beats a very soft, tender, loving heart. Especially towards children, animals, the vulnerable, and family. You are highly protective, deeply loving, and always loyal.
Let people see this softer side of you. Let them in. Being tender is not a weakness. It’s how you build true alliances, relationships, and strong family units, and they are all on your to-do list. Be the ‘people person’ you truly are!

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for Pluto Retrograde: King of Cups
Meaning: Often painted as an intellectual, aloof professor-type, you’re actually extremely emotionally intelligent too. You ‘get’ people and can therefore ‘get along’ with anyone. You understand motivations and intentions and you can read folk very well. You are compassionate, forgiving, and understanding.
Knowing how people tick is just another asset in your intellect cabinet! Let folk know how understanding you really are, reflect the wisdoms you’ve learned back to them. Give good advice. Listen well. Be attentive.
