Pluto in Aquarius II.
Saturday January 20th 2024
Pluto is at the very last minutes of the 29th degree of Capricorn as I write this— I checked - and by the time we wake up tomorrow, the planet will have arrived at the shores of Aquarius.
It has been fun to write this series — one more post coming to really welcome in this energy, setting the course as our planet and its destiny - and with Earth, ours - moves along and into the future. Aquarius is a future oriented realm - and with the advent of AI in the collective; technologies advancing our species to superhuman upgrades with the dawn of quantum biology and biohacking, genetic engineering giving us godlike powers while other species are pulling out and the environment is ravaged and we may have fewer than 60 harvests left - the jury is still out about how well the future will play out
But more on this a little later — for now: let it be enough for me to say that Pluto has started the procession of the transpersonal - aka post-Saturnian planets changing signs one by one, literally heralding a sort of Changing of the Gods…
Pluto first — and all this fanfare and drumroll: with a footnote ( I have always been a fan but this is really - like, really - important
Between September and November — the planet, in retrograde phase will revisit the balsamic 29th degree of Capricorn one last time. It is all the more important to take note because the United States of America has had a Pluto return - which means: at the time of the birth of this nation, Pluto was in the realm of Capricorn - at 27 degrees. No one knew it at the time. Uranus was already discovered but not yet Neptune… and Pluto - well: that took another 150+ years still. But I digress… With Pluto back in Capricorn, this country, with its 250 year history, is currently having a Pluto return — and 2024 being an election year, this is a pretty big deal… So: I will be watching closely that 2-month long period later as the fall begins.
Post#9
They say that before Pluto releases one from the land of shadows - read: the underworld - He asks the one who hopes to go back up to give up the one thing they never - ever could… See: I have told you: Pluto is an impartial deity : He could not care less if you stay or go. The more dead He rules over, the greater his power. In fact, in the antiquity, the mere proposition that one could leave the Land of the Dead, Hades, would have been a vast and arrogant insult — or worse. The Orphic Hymns speak eloquently about this…. You had to be a Hero, like Heracles - or like Mercury: a deity with tricks up his sleeve: He is the Rooster under Persephone’s throne in the ancient depiction I have shared here.
Or you had to be properly initiated.
In today’s day and age, however, during Pluto transits, or when Pluto significantly aspects planets, individually and collectively — we get a shot. We can ascend.
Once you are in Hades, you know it. The past 15 years, for me, as I have said many times — were a journey through Hell.
Please understand that this is one of the major reasons why I am so excited— because I literally, viscerally am feeling the release. Not a single thing has remained of the person I used to be when this journey started, in earnest in 2008, when Pluto entered Capricorn (my Ist House) — but really two years prior, when a devastating and humiliating divorce left me homeles, penniless and almost cost me my life. Sound dramatic? It was.
But when about 7 years in - this would be around 2015 - an astrologer looked at my chart and said: your life will really start at the age of 50 — not only did i not start bawling…
“50??? Life starts when I am old, and toothless, and tHe opposite of handsome, and … and … and 😭😭😭”
— nay: none of this happened.
Rather, I felt like I got a roadmap.
And I fell head over heels with Astrology — because: how did he know? And WHAT did he know?
I wanted to know - I wanted to find out. Because if indeed I got a map, and all the hurt and pain and trauma was headed somewhere — I was going to get behind that wheel and navigate myself back to where I knew I belonged: LIFE. The LIGHT.
And when I say I can hear Pluto purring at the Gates of the Waterbearer; or that I do not recommend trying to make friends with Him — but much rather: with the Darkness and Shadows he rules — I mean it. That I have made it out alive verifies what I have heard: just this year, I was in excruciating pain when I realized what this Archetypal energy was requesting of me… That one last thing! - The one possession I could never-ever bear to lose… I thought that this time what was requested of me, might really - but truly : break and end me. And yet: and yet! I agreed. I said Yes
And boom - just like that, I was cut off from my Hanged Man’s position under His watch, and landed - naked, maimed, ravaged but A L I V E - and for visuals, I will also say: - at HIs feet. And that’s when I realized _- this was it. This was the final, greatest test of my fear. And I had none. I had none!…
They say: when you may go, He hands you a package. You may only - but only! - open it when you have made it out of Hades. But then — but then….! Your true prosperity begins
I know what I have found in the package — but rather than telling you what it is - why don’t I just show you, as the years go by. These next 20 years, with Pluto in Aquarius, are just what the Cosmos has had in its exquisite intelligence in store for me - and I cannot stop beaming about how excited I am.
