Pluto is calling from the depths this week. It’s time to listen to messages from the darkness within, subconscious and subterranean realms, making offerings to guardians of the underworld threshold, as Pluto will deliver major messages and revelations regarding our experiences of the Pluto in Aquarius transit. Pay attention to not only what is dying, decaying, and undergoing purification, but also the new life force and desires emerging from within. Pluto can facilitate coming to terms with the essential purpose and path to dedicate and devote yourself to in the year ahead.

From January 19 - 27, 2026 there is a major initiation with Pluto, as Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Mars will all form conjunctions with Pluto in Aquarius. In addition to the personal rebirth experiences that Pluto will be initiating for each of us, collectively Pluto will also be initiating us into the entrance of Neptune into Aries on January 26. Neptune is entering the fiery home of Mars where the oceanic planet will remain until 2039, with Mars applying to a conjunction with Pluto that will become exact the next day on January 27.

The regenerative conjunction of Mercury with the Sun in Aquarius on January 21, followed by Mercury uniting with Pluto on January 22 will be an especially potent time for attuning to messages from Pluto. Whatever ways you are experiencing processes of death and rebirth, Pluto will put you in touch with the essential elements and values to tend and cultivate that will be intrinsic to your creative direction and greater empowerment.
