2022 Pluto Return: What It Is and How It Will Impact Your Zodiac Sign

For the first time in over 240 years, there will be a Pluto Return, February 20, 2022. Before we get into the effects of Pluto's return on us a nation, let's establish what it is, what it isn't, and why it is so significant.

For those who thought the Pluto Return meant Pluto was going direct, that is incorrect. Pluto was stationed direct on October 8, 2021. Those who thought the Pluto Return meant that Pluto was returning to the sign it represents (Scorpio) are also incorrect. Pluto's Scorpio years were from 1984 to 1995. So, what is the Pluto Return, what is Pluto returning to, and why does it matter? An astrology reading can dive even deeper into this astrological marvel.

Pluto Return Explained

The Pluto Return notes the planet's return to the original position on America's birthday: July 4, 1776, at 5:10 pm when the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, PA, nearly 247 years ago. Because Pluto represents power and transformation by rebirth through death or resurrection through devastation, this planetary event brings to question whether the Pluto Return will resurrect the original foundations and goals that caused the creation of a new nation. Furthermore, it will expose the cracks in the nation's foundation and reveal if the powers that be have fallen short of achieving those goals. What goals? Let's reflect on what the Founding Fathers initially intended for America via a brief analysis of the USA's birth chart.

The United States of America's birth chart contains heavy Cancer placements (in Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter), Cardinal energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn which Pluto was and currently is stationed), as well as a strong Air influence (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). From the day it was born, the USA was an ambitious and revolutionary endeavor meant to establish a home for its founders and their fellow men. They could be accepted as their authentic selves without prejudice or fear, be providers, self-sustain, and build families. With a Rising Sign of Sagittarius and Moon Sign of Aquarius, the nation wanted to be seen as free and hopeful that birthing a new foundation would allow them and their fellow man to explore and live their truth safely. 

Hamilton fans and historians alike will agree that our founding fathers birthed the United States of America in hopes of establishing the individual and community principles of self-control over our finances, creating a government that would inspire the nation, and protecting the country from its previous oppressive government and societies. Will Pluto's Return over 200 years later reveal that our current government has upheld those principles, that the United States inhabitants are still safe and free to be their authentic selves, or will it show the opposite? Let's take a look at the energies for February 20, 2022, at 5:25 am, the date and time for Pluto's Return.

February 20, 2022, the universe will have a heavy Aquarian influence under a Libra Waning Gibbous Moon. This means the day's energy and Pluto's return further encourage us as a nation to take an introspective look at the vision created for this country in 1776. Are we strong? Are we self-sustaining? Do we have a powerful and motivating influence on the masses? If not, what needs to be destroyed so it can be rebuilt stronger?
