On April 20th, Pluto will start moving backwards in the sky. When a planet does this, it means that is going in retrograde motion. It is not really travelling backwards, but it appears to be because of the motion of the earth.
There has always been a big significance to retrogrades and especially the retrograde movements of the outer planets because their influence tends to last a long time. This particular Pluto retrograde lasts until September 28th 2017.
Pluto is a planet of deep transformation and profound psychological change and Chiron is a celestial body that is usually interpreted to mean “the wounded healer.”
Depending on what sign you are you may find yourself feeling like you are out of control or like you have no control over your events. Many of the signs may also find major relationships rupturing, especially relationships between children and parents.

If there is any co-dependency or addiction in your life, you may find yourself or a partner hitting rock bottom of some sort over the next six months.
Often, the source of the addiction or psychological disorder is in childhood and psychotherapy or recovery of some kind is needed to get to the bottom of what caused the problem in the first place.
When Pluto goes retrograde, almost everyone takes some kind of “journey into the dark” to confront their personal shadow.
For some, it means reconciliation, the need to understand different points of view, or an inner need to expand one’s consciousnesses.
