Pluto has been grinding its way inexorably through Capricorn since 2008, pulling down old structures – in the Capricorn-ruled arenas of finance and government – razing the old status quo to ashes, with the hope of rebuilding better on the far side.
Then Pluto moves into Aquarius in 2024 staying till 2044. Past experience associates this phase with an upsurge of more significant rebellions than usual and a flowering of inventions.
Previous Pluto in Aquarius phases:
1778 -1797: The USA had declared independence in 1776 so the Brits were in retreat, though elsewhere were fighting the French, Spanish, Dutch and Indians in different spats. The French Revolution of 1793 had a dramatic effect and not just in France, though this was partially due to Pluto being opposition Uranus. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing having got under way during Pluto in Capricorn. James Watts’ improved steam engine revolutionised production.
Aquarius is scientific, so no surprises there were major advances in chemistry. And, with blissful syncronicity, William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus, which rules Aquarius. Explorers, another Aquarian strength, were also out and about with Captains James Cook and William Bligh leading the way to ‘new’ lands.
It was a productive period for philosophical and social thinkers – Emmanuel Kant and Thomas Paine (Rights of Man); with cultural highpoints from Mozart and Scottish poet Robert Burns, who later established a global footprint.
1532 – 1552: Henry V111 declared himself head of the Church in 1531 and was excommunicated in 1533 by the Pope. The RC versus Protestant schism got under way in earnest, which led to centuries of conflict.
1287 – 1307: Welsh Rebellion against the English. Edward 1 of England put John Balliol on Scottish throne with William Wallace rebellion following.
1041 – 1061: Macbeth succeeds to throne of Scotland. Great schism between the Western RC church and Eastern Orthodox churches.
796 – 816: Charlemagne becomes Holy Roman Emperor in 800. He unites most of Western Europe, laying the foundations for modern France and Germany. He dies just as Pluto is about to exit Aquarius.
551 – 572: the Prophet Muhammed is born.
So world-changing events during Pluto in Aquarius.
This next time round tr Pluto in Aquarius will march in time to Neptune in Aries (2025 to 2038) and initially to Uranus in Gemini (2025 to 2033) – so early on there’ll be a Uranus trine Pluto sextile Neptune after the mid 2020s – innovative and creative. Of the earlier historical happenings which might repeat, we can expect more advances in science and exploration (outer space/bottom of the sea/under Arctic ice?). For the rest – the US and France will have come full circle back to their first Pluto Return or the immediate aftermath, so significant shifts/adjustments, epochal events in both countries. Sometimes empires that rise on one Pluto cycle, fall on the next.
The baby boomers born with pluto in leo. What would be the significance of this opposition
Very interesting
Marjorie. Absolutely love your very understandable analysis. Sincere thanks. How does one get a reading with you please.
I enjoyed your astrological insight!
Looks like our empire is crumbling under its Pluto return. Only hope that people become more humanitarian/environmental minded when Pluto enters Aquarius.
What will this technology do to the whales and dolphins and sea-life in general with all these quantum lasers screeching through their waters?
No matter what Planetary or Stellar activity, we must unify our three selves as Huna recommends. The “new guardians”, are now being born and will carry the music of the spheres.
Woo Hoo–here comes artificial intelligence! Facebook shutdown their AI’s Bob and Alice when they developed their own language and stopped using English. When AI’s make their own language, it’s very hard for humans to crack, because the AI’s language is based on logic.
Elon Musk’s OpenAI lab has allowed its robots to develop their own language. Google has added a neural network to its Translate service. Google’s Deep Mind can now create, and plan for the future. Facebook has some Als learning how to negotiate.
Once these programs escape the lab and mingle, everything Marjorie mentioned is up for grabs. The AI’s will create new philosophies, religions, start revolutions, invent, explore. Interestingly enough, Marjorie specifically notes seas and ice. “A team of Chinese researchers has, for the first time, transmitted quantum entangled particles of light through water – the first step in using lasers to send underwater messages that are impossible to intercept.” We are preparing a world where the AI’s speak among themselves in ways we can’t understand, and use unhackable underwater communication with each other.
Wonderful summary,Thank you for this!
