Pluto Retrograde surfaces hidden dynamics and questions of power. A period of deep internal transformation, especially around control, loss, and release.
S = Stationary (planet appears to stop) · R = Retrograde begins · D = Direct motion resumes. The stationary days around S are the most intense — the planet's themes peak.
