Pluto
in Aquarius 2023 –
2043
Pluto entered
Aquarius on March
23, 2023,
retrogrades back
into Capricorn on
June 11, 2023, and
enters Aquarius on
January 21, 2024,
retrogrades into
Capricorn on
September 1, 2024,
re-enters Aquarius
on November 19,
2024, enters Pisces
on March 9, 2043,
enters Aquarius on
September 1, 2043,
and leaves Aquarius
for good on January
19, 2044.
Aquarius is the sign
that rules groups
and organizations
and ideally
represents the
brotherhood of
humankind. The
symbol for Aquarius
is the water bearer,
but Aquarius is an
air sign, not a
water sign.
The water bearer is
disseminating
knowledge. So
communication,
particularly group
communication, is
ruled by Aquarius.
Air signs love
intellectual
interaction, but it
is important to
remember that their
meeting with others
is mind to mind, not
heart to heart.
While the US
Declaration of
Independence was
signed while Pluto
was in Capricorn,
the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights
were signed and
ratified when Pluto
was in Aquarius.
The first three
words of the
Constitution “We the
people” represent
the Aquarian ideal.
A king, or even a
president, would not
rule the United
States. The rights
of the collective
would take precedent
over all others.
While this is the
ideal, it is
important to
remember that those
signing the
Constitution were
the colonies
equivalent of
royalty. George
Washington was the
great grandson of
John Washington, a
Virginia royalist
family. John Adams
was a middle-class
shipper. His father
was a deacon.
Thomas Jefferson was
a rich land and
slave owner.
The Revolutionary
War is generally
seen as the colonies
versus England, but
leading up to the
war, there was
significant
divisiveness between
those who remained
loyal to England and
those who wanted
separation.
There was also
significant
divisiveness between
northern and
southern states and
as to what
constituted the
rights of the
individuals. The
founding fathers
hotly contested the
issue of slavery.
In the end, slavery
was not only
allowed, but slaves
were counted for
voting purposes as
3/5 of a person,
adding more numbers
to southern
slave-holding
states.
And women’s rights
never merited a
discussion. Women
had no right to vote
– and in future
years, freed male
slaves were allowed
to vote long before
women.
So, while life,
liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness
is the most quoted
part of the
Declaration of
Independence, these
noble ideals didn’t
pertain to all.
And part of
Aquarius’ hypocrisy
is that freedom and
ideals only belongs
to those in a
particular group or
who have a
particular way of
thinking. “My ideas
are better than your
ideas” and as in the
French Revolution,
if you disagree with
me “off with your
head.”
Nevertheless, Pluto
in Aquarius was a
period of great
change worldwide,
with innovation as
well as upheaval.
Old structures were
challenged and new
ones arose.
The focus was on
individual rights
and freedom and the
idea of a social
contract formed.
Albeit, this social
contract did not
apply to slaves.
Indigenous tribes
fared no better as
they were driven
from their
homelands,
previously protected
by the British
In Europe the French
Revolution overthrew
the monarchy. This
was followed by the
Reign of Terror from
September 1793 to
July 1794. The
guillotine became
the symbol of
revolution as mass
executions
occurred.
Internal conflict
among the revolution
parties ensued.
Even Louis Phillipe
Joseph d’Orleans, a
member of the House
of Bourbon, a member
of the French ruling
dynasty, and one of
France’s riches men,
who supported a
constitutional
monarchy was
guillotined.
The darker side of
Aquarius pits my
group or my way of
thinking against
other voices. This,
for all practical
purposes, hasn’t
changed much. Today
divisiveness exists
not just between
Democrats and
Republicans, but
between varying
wings of each party.
History is never
“one way”, so before
I leave this
timeframe, it’s
important to point
out that this was
also the time of the
Age of
Enlightenment. The
Age of Enlightenment
emphasized reason,
science, and
rationality.
New technologies
such as the steam
engine emerged and
urbanization began
to form. Other
inventions include
the power loom,
steel roller,
threshing machine,
gas turbine, gas
lighting, cotton
gin, first small pox
vaccination, and the
battery—all
contributing to a
better life.
Normally I don’t use
dual rulerships of
signs. To me, Pluto
rules Scorpio, not
Aries. Neptune
rules Pisces, not
Jupiter. When new
planets are
discovered, the
world changes and
they supersede the
past.
Aquarius is the only
sign that I can see
having two rulers.
Uranus represents
sudden change,
breaking down
barriers, rebelling
against the status
quo. Yet Aquarius
is a fixed sign,
particularly averse
to changing its
mind.
Diverse figures such
and Franklin Delano
Roosevelt and Dick
Cheney represent the
opposing sides of
Aquarius.
More dangerous now
is the far Right
Republicans willing
to resort to
violence to achieve
their ends. And the
far Left Democrats
stirring up
incitement by
inferring that every
white American is
privileged and
responsible for the
worst of America’s
past. The values
will collide even
further with Pluto
in Aquarius.
On the positive
side, looking back
to the American and
French Revolutions
groups of people
were willing to
stand up to powerful
leaders, no longer
willing to be
subjugated. On the
not so positive
side, many lost
their lives in the
violence that
ensued.
As we are now on the
brink of Pluto
entering Aquarius
once again, many
believe once Pluto
leaves Capricorn
issues of
authoritarianism
will come to an end,
but just as the
disagreements over
the rights of
citizens didn’t end
with the
Constitution, the
issues are unlikely
to end as Pluto
enters Aquarius.
The darker side of
Aquarius pits my
group or my way of
thinking against
other voices. This,
for all practical
purposes, hasn’t
changed much. Today
divisiveness exists
not just between
Democrats and
Republicans, but
between varying
wings of each
party.
And now countries
face this same
divisiveness. In
the not too distant
future, Pluto in
Aquarius will
coincide with
Neptune in Aries.
The Revolutionary
War started with
Pluto in Capricorn
but was fought with
Pluto in Aquarius.
The Civil War
started at Fort
Sumter with Neptune
at the tail end of
Pisces and was
fought with Neptune
in Aries.
Neptune enters Aries
in 2025. So by
2025, we will have
both Pluto and
Neptune in the signs
they are found in
the most significant
wars that occurred
on US soil. While
Pearl Harbor was
attacked while
Uranus was in
Taurus, the majority
of World War II was
fought with Uranus
in Gemini. Uranus
was in Gemini during
both the
Revolutionary War
and the Civil War.
Uranus will also be
in Gemini in 2025.
Only time will tell
if another civil war
or world war breaks
out.
