The Only Way Through Is Through?
The Lord of the Underworld leaves a palpable wake that transforms anything it touches.
The US Post Election
It is a strange moment in the US. It is an almost surreal journey through a new reality formed by each second. Many of us are devastated. Others of us are absolutely elated. Still others are in observation mode, wondering what will happen next. And what that will be, it is difficult to say. Although boring, it will not be.
The moon was transiting through the sky in Capricorn on November 5th and the days following. Remember the 5th? I am pretty sure none of us will forget it any time soon. As I offered sessions and tracked the sky map throughout, I watched with fervent anticipation as the moon and Pluto embraced within Capricorn for the last time for the next 248 years.
Pluto’s Next Move
If you haven’t realized it, Pluto is a mover and a shaker. Although it was demoted to a dwarf planet in 2006, it has more energetic gravitas than most planets, especially in its ability to transmute. The Lord of the Underworld leaves a palpable wake that transforms anything it touches, pulling what needs to be changed into the depths to reemerge into the light, reborn.
November 19th, Pluto enters Aquarius, and the last time Pluto traversed this kingdom was 1777-1798. During those years, the American and French Revolutions occurred, altering the landscape of power dynamics on the world stage. Something about this go-around smells eerily familiar. A revolution is bubbling, and it is only a matter of time before epic societal shifts become normalized. Not only will the revolution be a theme reverberating from the outer planes, but the actual revolution begins within.
Where is 29 degrees of Capricorn and 0 degrees of Aquarius in your chart? This potent cosmic acupuncture point indicates the onset of a rebellion for your life. Depending on which house or houses Pluto will be transiting during its 18-year journey through Aquarius, you are sure to experience radical changes, again, both within and without in the externalized world.
Astrologically Looking Ahead
2025 promises to bring back the word ‘unprecedented.’ Change is in the books, and with Pluto in Aquarius, it may feel like we are soaring through that air sign at light speeds, though Pluto moves quite slowly.
For those who have noticed the uptick in intensity over the last week during the Pluto-Mars opposition, these two “brothers in power” will meet again from across the cosmos on January 3rd and finally on April 26th, 2025, for the finale of this Mars retrograde shadow saga. It feels apropos that themes of power and navigating the dynamics that weave between those in power are the incoming messages of this new year. Voices through the airwaves are speaking about an imminent war on US soil—in whispers, social media, and podcasts—and coming from both liberals and conservatives.
Astrologically, war looks probable, given that so much heat is building up over the next few years as Saturn and Neptune hover across the 29th degree of Pisces and the 0 point of Aries. Neptune and Saturn will be ingressing between Pisces and Aries in 2025, leading to an exact conjunction on the 0 point in 2026. I’ve mentioned this before and will continue to repeat it; please find this threshold in your chart, as it will be a significant indication of death and rebirth for us as individuals and the collective.
Self Inquiry Now
Questions to ask ourselves now. Where am I? Where do I need to be? What am I doing? What do I need to be doing? How am I serving? How do I need to serve? How am I love? How do I need to be loving? Notice, there is no wanting here. This is not a time for manifestation. This is a time to grow and mature beyond our desire for “more.” This is a time to move through the discomforts, enjoy the journey every breath of the way, and remember you are alive. The only way through is through, so take note and move through from your heartbeat.
I love you. Thank you for sharing this journey with me; we’re all in this boat together, regardless of our POVs.
All my best to you, and please receive the piece of my heart that lives inside these words,
