You know what I am most excited about in the cosmos right now? Pluto and Uranus. Pluto and Uranus are transpersonal planets, their energies have a global impact that correlates to what gets written in the history books. With these two heavy hitters we are talking about large scale cultural shifts that are also felt in the individual psyche.
Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, entered Capricorn, the sign of the patriarchy, in January 2008, and it immediately began to rattle the established order with crises in the housing and financial sectors, and major instability in the petroleum market. Pluto will remain in Capricorn until 2024. This transit promises death to outmoded systems of authority.
Uranus got into the mix when it entered Aries in 2011. Aries has to do with individual autonomy, and Uranus is the great liberator. Uranus and Pluto came into exact square seven times between 2012-2015.
The impact? Cultural shift away from outmoded systems of authority toward a more populist approach, and a reclaiming of inner authority, with some major upheaval along the way. Think of Black Lives Matter, marriage equality, renewal in the feminist movement, black feminism, trans rights, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, the Arab Spring, Pussy Riot, Anonymous, and The Occupy Movement.
Pluto and Uranus are a revolutionary combination. The last exact square of this Pluto Uranus cycle occurred in the spring of this year, but Uranus is now retrograde, and the energy between these two sky gods is building again until February of next year
