What turning direct means

After about five months of seeming to move backwards, Pluto starts moving forward again. Changes that were happening quietly inside start to show in your life.

A slow, deep shift

Pluto is the slowest planet, so this is something you notice over months rather than days. It is felt most in the house of your chart it is moving through.

What to do now

Make the changes you have been working towards. Let go of what you have outgrown and step into the stronger version of yourself that came out of the retrograde.

What to look back on

Notice what you let go of, and what power you took back, while Pluto was retrograde.
