Pluto In Aquarius: A 21 Year Cycle Of Collective Transformation & Rebirth
A natural evolution within society coincides with Pluto’s exit from ruthless Capricorn and entrance into Activist Aquarius. The shifting of this cosmic cycle symbolizes the transference of power from authoritarian control to the community. The Aquarian archetype is the humanitarian of the zodiac – the seer, the non-conformist, and the upgrader. When Pluto – our planet of evolutionary change, mass movements, destruction, and renewal – immerses itself in Aquarian energy, we are forced into a period of political unrest as the universe ushers us toward revolutionizing our world order.
As the furthest planet (astrologically speaking) in our solar system, Pluto takes approximately 248 years to move through the zodiac. This is the first time since 1777 to 1798 that Pluto will reappear in Aquarius! However, Pluto’s journey through Aquarius will not be a continuous transit until 2025 due to its 2023 and 2024 retrogrades, which cause it to dip back into Capricorn.
Society Is Rapidly Advancing
Pluto’s move through progressive Aquarius begins on March 23, 2023, until Pluto stations retrograde and retreats into karmic Capricorn on June 12, 2023. This brief period triggers the profound initiation of a new global chapter. We are offered a powerful prelude to upcoming changes in science, technology, social media, and shifting global power dynamics. Innovative scientific developments made during this Plutonian cycle will inspire us to take action and use newly discovered findings to elevate our lives.
Dramatic advancements in technology and communications will see the rise of artificial intelligence and its integration into our day-to-day lives pushing us further toward an automatic and digitalized way of living. The media, represented by the Aquarian archetype, will become a bigger area of focus, challenging us to observe and transform our group-think tendencies and instinct to indiscriminately follow trending ideas and causes without questioning the information we consume.
Social Uprisings Will Tip The Scales Of Power
Representing the hidden dynamics between the powerful and powerless, Pluto’s slow voyage through enlightened Aquarius – a thoughtful and intellectual air sign – brings what’s hidden to the forefront of our minds. As we become less distracted by our differences, we are learning to come together and regain our strength from the support of communities that share our visions for the future. We must face the oppressive establishments and darkness in our world that is an enemy to all of us without giving into temptations to repackage old systems and hierarchies that are equally as divisive in nature.
Social uprisings and conflict – especially under the Aries karmic chapter of 2023-2025 – will increase due to the extremity of Plutonian energy, which reminds us that eliminating an old way of being cannot come without turmoil – breakdowns must occur before our breakthrough. Psychological Pluto in Aquarius – the archetype that symbolizes awakenings – shines the light on the secrets, taboos, and shadows of the collective (the darkest aspects of our world and ourselves) to strip away our naivety. As we deepen our awareness of what is unfolding around us, we will be forced to acknowledge our contributions to the darkness in the world. This process of observing the darkness within ourselves will help us perceive humanity in a new light.
We Will Reform Our Use Of Social Media And Technology
The rise in technological usage during humanity's Pluto in Aquarius chapter also comes with the risk of errors, misuse, cyber-attacks, and hacking — Pluto is the planet that oversees manipulation and operations that occur behind the scenes and out of sight, after all. Ethics and digital security will become an increasing concern as our collective ignorance and naivety around rapid technological progression is revealed. Increasing our awareness and interest in how technology is used will allow us to acknowledge privacy violations and injustices that would have otherwise escaped our attention.
A reformation of how we use the internet and social media is underway, challenging us to be more mindful of what we upload, how our personal data is used, and how we formulate our ideas and opinions according to trendy and collective ideas. Pluto in Aquarius will spotlight our intolerance to other’s beliefs, the selfishness that leads us to overlook individual experiences, and our instinct to follow the crowd for fear of being shamed for our differences. It's safe to say that once Pluto in Aquarius' cycle winds down in 2044, life will look very different!
