pluto leaves cap for aqua…what a long, strange trip it’s been
so, how is the end of empire treating you?
what were you doing in 2008? can you track your journey?
did you know that on november 19, 2024, in seven days, the farthest planet from earth (with the longest cycle) will go into aquarius to stay for 20 years? after completing its return to the point of America’s birth, pluto will re-enter the revolutionary ether of the water bearer. this is happening two years before the precession of the equinox shifts into a final pisces gate, bringing us into the collective energy of the cross of the sleeping phoenix in 2027 (see: human design) and a mutation of the solar plexus ~ the emotional authority center. half of the population has a defined solar plexus, giving them the inner authority of a wave. there is only clarity in culmination, and never in the now. we are moving into a time when people will work together on an intrinsic, intuitive, inner knowing level. we will collectively collaborate, as individuals.
the true age of aquarius will begin when the precession of the equinoxes point has entered the first degree of aquarius (which is technically the last degree of aquarius, following the first degree of pisces ~ because it is going counter clockwise). we are now in the dawn…the light of the new gate on the horizon. in preparation for this massive background change, we have a few huge notable cycles shifting now through 2026. pluto (scorpio ruler, fire on the water) has been in capricorn (earth, ruled by saturn) since 2008, revealing old structures and showing their foundations in the land of chronos, saturn), for transformation. now the god of the underworld (pluto) is moving into the land of the electrical ether (aquarius ~ ruled by saturn and uranus), a realm of communication and unification. we will get really communal and technological in our alchemy…old school and new school for the collective school. neptune (water, ruler of pisces) will leave his watery piscean home and enter aries (fire) at the end of march 2025. this is a massive shift. precisely one day prior to neptune’s last entry into aries (mars) the civil war began. saturn will join the new zodiacal bonfire wheel (entering aries) for some summer fun (chronos in mars’ home:) at the end of may. then chronos returns to see what he can see in the poseidon ruled pisces sea just before the end of summer. uranus (air, modern ruler of aquarius) decides to leave earth (venus-ruled taurus) as well, departing in july for an education in gemini. he will fly through this mercurial home until re-entering taurus during scorpio season (ruled by mars and pluto) where he will stay until the following spring of 2026.
things will feel completely new, and like an old memory. we will experience energies and cycles our ancestors knew that are foreign to all our living relatives. we are in revolutionary times, from whatever angle you view it. think back to the massive tectonic shifts that occurred for you since 2008. venus right now is at 1 degree of capricorn, going over the points where pluto began its alchemical work in the home of chronos. if we look back we can see where the chronological map has been guiding us. we can see the themes in the journey that has unfolded. it will be abundantly fruitful to review the past 16 years for yourself…to comprehend the deep transformation that has been underway. we can see what we have chosen over these years. what has been in focus and growing in foundation? and what has been releasing?
in 2008 I was recovering from going down a rabbit hole of women’s intellectual history which led to empowerment and then despair and eventually out again; as well as modern political philosophy, resulting in great aggravation and confusion. I had effectively left theatre work - gasp!!! - and returned to an earlier love of botany. environmental science became my undergrad focus, and I started working in gardening and native plants. after a decade in NYC, working, performing in theatre, and attending college part time, I graduated with my BA from The New School and began teaching botany and urban farming. in 2011 I ran a high school botany club, created a garden on the side of a football field, and got married. 2012 was all about farm school classes, running a community center garden program, and pregnancy! in 2013 I was raising my daughter and giving it all I had. then in 2014 I had a breakdown. I rebuilt myself in 2015 and at the end of the summer I became a student and teacher again. I immersed myself in early childhood education and completed my Farm School NYC certificate. after working in a Montessori classroom for 6 years the crown virus came along and I re-evaluated almost everything. since then I have been studying human nature from various angles, and I have been writing and developing ways to serve humanity in this time of transition. what a wild ride it has been.
now is a time of self authorship, of inner authority as your guide. you decide how to alchemize all that comes your way. what gems have you unearthed within yourself throughout these 16 years of pluto in capricorn? and what self-evolution is beginning as you enter the revolutionary energies of pluto in aquarius? let’s go!
