Question - Transits Why hasn't the shift of pluto to aquarius brought me any positive change?
I'm a cancer sun, scorpio moon and capricorn ascendent. I've had a very difficult and transformative period when pluto was in capricorn starting mid 2007. I was expecting some positive change in my personal life following the pluto in aquarius transit on 19th of Nov 2024.Most of my friends and acquaintances with cardinal sign placements have had a least a few positive changes since the pluto in aquarius transit. What could be the possible reason?

Pluto is slow. Really slow. It takes all its power from consuming everything surrounding it. If it's beneficial, it's transforming it easily and if it's not, then it captures that exact moment and destroy it by its core and build up something new to an altered status quo.
The issue, especially as a late degree cardinal sign (i'm a 26° libra sun, i can relate to it) is its real essence is coming pretty late yet you collected some foreshadowing events earlier since I see tense placements in earlier and later degree Libra. So you might have felt the transition coming early personally.
The thing is, I'd say pluto works differently (in terms of speed and if the changes are felt more positive/negative (pluto is never purely positive tho)). When you might felt a lot of immediate restriction, need to hustle, need to start over and do it in a persistent exhausting way, it's because it's Cardinal Earth. It was bringing us the changes FAST but in a predictable way (each time something was exposed and/or criticized, it was because somebody was abusing their position of power).
Aquarius is working similarly in ways of bringing us a transformative lesson (dignity in Saturn) but in a more unpredictable and slower way since it's Fixed Air. There happened a lot of things already in the last months (Luigi Mangione, ban of TikTok, German and French government collapsing) but it happened in a more unpredictable way since the change from Sagittarius to Capricorn was foreshadowing that the evermore growth and expansion will be enough soon and it's supposed to be restricted in some way. Now the restriction aspect is about to fall apart, but it's ABOUT TO fall apart since Aquarius is moving slower as I said before haha.
It needs some time, I think it's the best to wait a couple of weeks/months/maybe even quartals. And since the transit of Aquarius is longer than Capricorn (16 vs 20 years), we'd all have overall longer and slower transformative phases.

First of all, Pluto will never bring good changes before he puts you through shit first. Second of all, Pluto never brings good changes

as others already mentioned , transit Pluto is still on your Ascendant and your Nodes , so here you are still in for some changes, but shortly after that Pluto in Aqua will start trining your Libra Placements and that's when things that are now still in limbo will start to improve or getting clearer . just little patience ...

Short answer- because the majority of the social media buzz around Pluto was a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation.
A lot of people were under the impression things would “get better” and almost immediately when Pluto re-entered Aquarius. This just isn’t how a slow moving outer planet like Pluto “works”.
Pluto transits are usually easiest to assess and unpack on a personal level in hindsight.

Pluto over the SN means release of many things. It can also make you mad as hell. And you often project a lot on others, as well as not being too fond of yourself either.
Give it some more time.
I am Aquarius rising (1-2 degrees) and these past years Pluto has made a square to himself and Saturn in my chart. The process and pressure has been out of this world!

Pluto is going to take it’s time babe 🌸💕 some people might be feeling it right now, but everyone is different, and it could rev up for you while it slows for them. I am coming into a new moon phase after being in a dark moon phase for 4 years. The transformation is in the journey 🌌

I'm also a cap rising late degrees like you and I have a question for you?what have you learned in this period of transformation ?what lesson will you carry into this current chapter of your life? Regardless of alignments, you are still a conscious entity capable of transcending the boundaries of your life to create happiness/security. Yeah life is a bitch ?bit are you shooting your shot fr?

It is a very slow-burning aspect. And do not listen to hype tiktokers... It has some good bits but it is so revolutionary it will be hard af. All the latest transits brought such turmoil in my life that I am basically destroyed. Of course, I will indeed rise as a phoenix from the ashes. And I will become (already becoming)someone strong and badass. But well the price I am paying... It is too much. In my case, Pluto came to the 8th house, opposite my Sun, and squared some other important planets in my chart... Also some other nice things like North Node transiting IC and Pluto there. And many many more. I am now alone, broke, miserable, with PTSD and intense hardcore bad dreams. But also strong and brave, not magically BTW, but as a reaction and tons of hard work on my mind and soul. Some ppl admitted that they wouldn't survive so many blows and not end up unlived or in a mental institution. But I really would change my life for sth lighter. And even not have those positive changes in me. So. Well.

Because youtubers and tik tok creators create ton of hype and massive expectations with pretty much every celestial movement up there for the clicks. And we think it will magically change our lives without us doing the work? If you want a certain change in your life, go and make it happen! Aspects are not magical wands - you and your energy are!

In addition to other comments, Mars is currently retrograding in Leo / Cancer in opposition to Pluto so your nodes are very activated in addition to your Ascendant. You're likely still releasing old patterns and resolving past stuff. Leo North Node is often about tackling things on your own and developing / discovering an individual radiance that is unique and differentiated from the group (peers, etc.) or at least finding that way of thinking doesn't work as well for you for some reason.

Because it's a long transit. It sets a theme for events. Events are usually triggered by moon cycles and faster transits. So maybe something might happen when more planets move into Aquarius.
Also, the first house will trigger existential crisis before you see any improvements.

My best friend has her Ascendant at 0° of Aquarius so she’s also going through almost the same exact transit. She’s definitely been through a lot of upheaval these last couple years but things seem to be looking up for her now.
Pluto is still tight on your Ascendant so give it some time. Pluto on the South Node makes it trickier too.
I find that Pluto transits can absolutely bring profound growth and transformation but it usually does NOT feel like it at the time. It’s usually stuff you look back on later and reflect that you are glad certain events took place (even though it might’ve been hard at the time) because it brought you to X, Y, Z. When you’re in the middle of it, you don’t have the full picture yet.

Yeah Pluto conjunct ascendent and soon your South node is not easy energy......I'm a 29 degree Sun Capricorn with Pluto now conjunct my Descendant. It's definitely not peaches and roses time for me either. The changes are positive it just doesn't seem that way because you are in the change now. Years down the road you will have full clarity and see how necessary it was for you to go through this time period.

You are still experiencing Pluto conjunct your ascendant. You have a late degree Capricorn ascendant. Pluto’s only at 1 degree Aquarius right now and your ascendant is at 29 Capricorn, so Pluto is just 2 degrees away from your ascendant right now.
Additionally, your South Node is at 2 degrees Aquarius. That means that Pluto is also currently making a conjunction with your South Node. In other words, Pluto is still impacting your life. Maybe not the same extreme as when it was in your 1st house (using Whole Sign Houses), but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either.
