On April 29, Pluto — planet of power, transformation, and extremes — will station retrograde in Capricorn until Oct. 8. Since Pluto’s the slowest-moving celestial body, it spends six months of every year retrograde, so it occurs pretty often. While its retrograde movement is a common occurrence, it’ll still affect every zodiac sign in a major way.

Here’s what your sign can expect:
