So, Pluto is really messing with us now, as, in retrograde
mode, he leaves Aquarius, where he has been since late March, and returns to
late Capricorn on the 11th, staying there till late January next
year… when once more he will return to revisit Aquarius. This lengthy see
sawing between the signs, continues till late November 2024, when he finally
commits to Aquarius for approximately 20 years.
So, watch this ongoing battle between the power and values of these two
signs, till the end of next year.
I say messing, that’s
how it may feel, but this really reflects the hard fought for transition to
necessary new values, if we are to move forward healthily. It won’t be easy.
Regardless of the dangers
of Pluto power (think plutocracy /plutonium) i.e. the potential for real abuse of power re the
values and goals associated with the sign he is travelling through), the
potential for a positive shift from the outworn material, status driven,
socially divisive value system (negative Capricorn) to a potentially more
global egalitarian, humanitarian, objective, and scientifically/technologically
productive value system, without ego ( all positive Aquarius), is also very
real.
The development of the right technology, in the right hands,
could indeed save the planet, not least re climate change issues.
However, of course, as I have referred to before, and what
is now much talked about, the scary downside of the power pf Pluto in Aquarius,
is obvious…i.e., the misuse/abuse of the huge powers of AI.
it has been reported recently that Geoffrey Hinton, hailed
as the god father of AI, for his epic contribution to the development of an
algorithm that allows machines to learn, has recently resigned from his
position at Google, because he says he now has regret for his part in creating
AI, which he now sees as “an existential risk” to humanity.
As journalist
Jonathan Freedland puts it “Those who know it best, fear it most “
Aquarius is ruled by
Uranus. The unpredictable, but potential
genius of a planetary energy, re revolutionary new insights. truths and
intellectual capabilities, but motive is everything in life. We have choices…
and very urgent ones.
Meanwhile, with Pluto
from the 11th, arriving back in Capricorn for 7 months … the effort
and fight then, to just further empower the old order of purely financially
driven policies, will likely be in high visibility during that time, as indeed
simultaneously, will be the exposure of much corruption.
Days of the unexpected and the shock factor which are strong
globally this month are the 4th to the 7th when Mercury
conjuncts Uranus and Venus opposes Pluto…
Power drives will be strong in a rather ruthless way, and with Mars in
Leo all month, ego drive is underlined anyway.
Around the 19th,
is a period of potential deceptions and smoke and mirror factors, as the Sun
squares up to Neptune. Similarly, around the 25th/26th
when Mercury squares up to Neptune, all is not as it seems, or is what we are
told. Confusion is rife.
We have also however
this month, have a background of a fair few planetary periods of more positive strength,
power, sensitivity and constructive progress, which will compensate and provide
some balance.
What is very
noticeable and of significance this month, is an energy being activated in
Rishi Sunak’s chart, that I referred to some months ago, now starting exactly
from the 16th, This is a powerful transit of Uranus conjuncting his
Sun (which only happens to him every 84 years) which is directly impacting him,
on and off, till late April 2024. This is a particularly significant influence,
as in his natal chart, those two planets are in opposition, so that difficult,
unpredictable energy implicit within his life anyway, will be totally
underlined and catalysed during the coming 10 months. This will notably affect
his relationships with those who he thought were his allies, as well as create rebellion
and stress within himself, in terms of his connections with others. It will impact his status and create some
possible chaos in his life personally, which he may try to weather. Life will
be tough and particularly rather chaotic during this long period. Ultimately however,
he may find a liberation at the end of the journey. Uranus awakens and enlightens;
despite the unexpected and often uncomfortable journey it takes you on, when impacting
you.
If we have the right
time of birth given for Putin, he has also got a strong Uranus transit starting
on the 16th and haunting him till late April 2024. This is Uranus
squaring his Midheaven (public status) during that period, and it only happens
every 42 years. It will be potentially disruptive of his powerful position. The
unexpected is in the air, and his stability can be significantly threatened in
relation to his plans, which can trigger very dangerously risky behaviour. He will need to accept significant changes in
his position or plans, or these changes may be forced upon him in some way,
stressfully. Some chaos at least, is very likely.
Pluto, from Aquarius,
has been squaring Boris Johnsons Moon in Scorpio exactly, since late March, and
it has been a challenging time for him, in terms of power struggles with the
establishment and fighting for his popularity/position. However, he will not
give up over the coming 6 months…when Pluto reverts to Capricorn, and so eases
that square transit, albeit however, very temporarily.
With the onset of
Pluto’s power in Uranus ruled Aquarius, steadily brewing now… there is quite a
revolution going on in Astrology. Uranus rules the esoteric, especially
astrology. There has been over the last decade or so, profound new astronomical
insights and discoveries, enabled by amazing technology, which will, of course,
steadily increase with the power of Aquarius. This is bringing rapidly
developing new knowledge and discoveries re the universe. As a result, there are new insights
astrologically now re the power of certain important degrees of newly
identified black holes and newly discovered forces in the constellations in our
galaxy. New understanding of the impact of these degrees of the zodiac on us
individually, are revealing themselves in an astrological context, which gives
us increased insight into people’s birth chart potential and uniqueness.
Astrology has become
increasingly popular and of interest in the last few years, not least amongst
the young, mainly because of its high profile on social media. This explosion
of interest and knowledge will certainly increasingly show itself, with Pluto
traversing Aquarius.
Again however, advantage of this new popularity of online
astrology, can of course be misused.
Neptune in hypersensitive Pisces
now (2012-2026) now joined by Saturn in in that sign (since March) till
mid-February 2026, indicates an increased reality check (always a Saturnian
factor) and spiritual intuition, re climate and environmental issues, and
greater awareness and sensitivity in people re this. Anxiety and existential
concerns are growing, even a collective depression, re the state of the planet
and the direction of destructive travel we see.
The immense importance of the seas and rivers (all Pisces/Neptune
subjects) are now such a powerful awareness. The pollution and deliberate
sewerage releases, are the ultimate examples of our crisis in terms of the abuse
of the powers that those who oversee these issues, can demonstrate, all on the
altar of money. The need for a revolution of awareness of the
need for our humility, in respect of the massive importance and power of nature,
is now really screaming, astrologically and literally. The likes of Extinction
Rebellion are manifesting that, in a powerful, if controversial way, which is a
sign of how desperate these people feel about this issue. They are putting the
planet before themselves, because ultimately it is about their, and all our
very survival.
Jupiter now in Taurus (a sign connected to our
security and earth infrastructure) is however helpfully creating an increased
wisdom about, and appreciation of the earth/nature … and there is an
increasingly strong drive by many to rehabilitate it.
Basically, a polarisation of planetary values
is manifested … and that is totally what the seesawing of power between
Capricorn and Aquarius indicates.
Disillusionment with
the way the planet is used and abused by many humans, makes many people turn to
more metaphysical dimensions and cosmic intelligence, and the more universal
dynamics of energy, in order to gain faith again in some way, and to have a new
insight and value system.
Astrology is indeed this
real mix of science and spirituality and indeed of cosmic intelligence revealed.
Astrological insights reveal a definite ability to test for some sort of
profound morality in the human condition.
Hubris and nemesis, in fact.
G.O.D. is the Grand Originating Dynamic (not necessarily the
biblical God).
That is what we are increasingly becoming aware of via
science now… it is the mind-blowing, cosmic
energy, way beyond our current understanding, that is manifested in everything,
everyone and everywhere...in the universe….
