Pluto in Aquarius 3/23-1/44

Hi so here’s the dates that Pluto transits Aquarius:

  • 3/23/23 5.13am MST – 6/11/23 3.47am MDT (retrogrades into Capricorn)
  • 1/20/24 3.50pm MDT – 9/1/24 6.10pm MDT (retrogrades into Capricorn)
  • 11/19/24 1.29pm MST – 3/8/43 (shifts into Pisces)
  • 8/31/43 8.35pm MST – 1/19/44 2.30am MDT (shifts into Pisces for good)

I made a video talking about this but in no particular order, here are a number of other things on my mind regarding this transit:

Pandemic v2 – Long Covid / PASC (post-acute sequelae) – this entire generation will be absorbing the impact of our inaction in dealing with covid. Millions are probably permanently disabled, and those numbers are continuing to rise. What will the next 20 years look like for them? One guess: just ask what happens to disabled kids during school shootings or even drills.

Stochastic terrorism – the religious nuts will be hunting us for Jesus. The Christofascists are here and they don’t care about rightness, fairness, equality, or anything. They only appreciate power. We have to collectively reject them and smash the fascists. We must remain militantly intolerant of intolerance. My prediction is a bunch of y’all will try to play too nice for too long out of some sense of propriety that doesn’t exist when a group of people is trying to exterminate other groups of people.

So the symbology of Aquarius is about people power. By the end of the next 21 years, Pluto will have blazed a new way of relating to each other socially. But it’ll take some devastating events occurring before we do anything of actual substance. They say that the greatest wealth transfer in history will be happening as the Boomers die off and the Millenials inherit their parents’ property, but I think that won’t happen. First of all, we’re funneling all wealth to the top 1% and it’s not even like trying to be secret about it anymore. The wealth will be stolen just like everyone has stolen value from Millenials since 1983 (wage theft, gig economy, inflation, housing collapses, you name it). Boomers would not have what they do without taking it from us, and Gen X has graduated largely to the Boomer conservative lifestyle. Easy to do when you are able to own property, most of my generation will never be able to do these once basic things. Anyway, if the wealth isn’t stolen, I predict by the end of Pluto in Aquarius, we won’t be really interested in money as a society because we’ll be preoccupied with trying not to be crispy critters.

(Inserting here that organized strikes against capitalists, taxing the rich, going after Blackrock like the French are is probably going to be one of the main ways that we can fight. Let’s set up systems of mutual aid and have don’t-go-to-work weeks! We need to shut everything down. Sooner than later.)

So now that the populists have us all fighting about basic human rights, we really aren’t looking at climate change. It’s been warned that where I live that the Great Salt Lake will be dried up in the next 5 years (!), and with a layer of toxic sediment at the bottom of the lake, that the area will soon be uninhabitable. They’ve given us til 2030 to get the earth’s temp down by 2 degrees Celcius. I’m just not seeing us hitting those numbers.

I also think birth rates will drastically lower, as a result of the Christofascist abortion ban. People will do more not to get pregnant. Also because of increased violence and encroaching climate change, populations will plateau or decline greatly. Adding to this are things like microplastics, which are shown to be adversely affecting global fertility rates. Becoming pregnant is going to become more difficult and maintaining a healthy pregnancy and taking care of newborns will also be much more difficult.

In the video I reference the popular belief that we are in the Age of Aquarius. We will all be dead by then (2159ish), but the grandchildren who are born to the survivors of the Pluto in Aquarius generation will see the actual dawning of the New Age. The Pluto in Aquarius time will determine how that time period comes about. Will we be hippies doing Twyla Tharp choreo or will we be the Borg?

Anyway I think we all need less “Love and Light” bullshit and a lot more “Eat the Rich.” I talk in the video about moral relativism, and people generally refer to that as a bad thing. But moral absolutism, or the idea that there are certain moral positions that are static across cultures, was made by the same old white dead dudes that gave us racist eugenicist psychology and medicine. I think we all will be forced into positions and actions that we never thought we would take. Does that make you bad or does that mean you had to do what you had to do? Ya know?

TBH I think something so insane will happen before next year is over that it will redefine our cultural landscape for the next 20 years. I think we are headed into a time of mass death and conflict. If we act collectively, we might stand a chance. But y’all won’t even wear a fucking mask to make public spaces more safe and accessible for disabled people, so I’m not holding my breath. There will definitely be people trying to be leaders after the fact lol, like what you doing now? Anyway, hope I’m wrong.

I recorded a video and it’s pretty intense, and I ran out of time lolzie. After having watching several of my videos in the past, I thought I’d try not to speak in coded messages, so I’m trying to be as direct as possible. But it makes me pissed, so I start building up steam lol. Also there’s some mixed streams talking about like the Great Conjunction and the Procession of the Equinoxes / Age of Aquarius. Check it out here and please let me know if you’d like any other info or clarifications:

Pluto and the Great Conjunction

Yo yo yo,

So the Great Conjunction happened at 0° Aquarius on 12/21/20, bringing Aquarius energy to the material plane in a way that has never happened in anyone living’s lifetime. Pluto, the planet of generational change and conflict, will be shifting from its transit in Capricorn from about 2008 to the sign of Aquarius. Because Pluto spends about half the year in retrograde, it will pass over the theshold of Aquarius, and thus, over the Great Conjunction three times in the next few years. In short, change is rapidly approaching on a grand material level.

Here are the dates for Pluto’s passage over the Great Conjunction and shifting into Aquarius:

  • Pluto enters Aquarius at 5.13am MST on 3/23/23 and remains until 3.47am MDT on 6/11/23 while retrograde
  • Pluto re-enters Aquarius at 5.50pm MST on 1/20/24 and remains until 6.10pm MDT on 9/1/24 while retrograde
  • Pluto re-enters Aquarius at 1.29pm MST on 11/19/24 and remains until shifting into Pisces on 3/8/43

I predict unrest and conflict as these dates progress, probably linked to the US election cycle. Literally looks real wild. Don’t check Nostradamus’ predictions for this year. Trying not to be a tinfoil hat mf but really considering stocking up…

Me talking more lol:

Great Conjunction 12/21/20

Or, why it’s not the Age of Aquarius

OR, I figured I could deliver a hot take at any time over the next 20 years and probably be fine. Lol

Watch this video where we read books from 1947!

Here’s the dates I looked up:

The Generation Gap – or – “Why ‘Xennial’ isn’t a thing”

Hi everyone,

I’ve been seeing things being passed around on social media about a microgeneration between GenX and Millenials. THERE ISN’T ONE, Y’ALL. ‘Xennial’ isn’t a thing. Stop trying to make ‘Xennial’ happen. They used to call that nonsense “GenY,’ but this 2014 Atlantic article explains why that’s not a thing. Three years ago. So what began as an eye roll, here’s a perspective on the generational breakdown through astrology:

First, Pluto is the planet (I know it’s not really a planet, that’s what the bodies are called in astrology) of transformation. It’s the furthest out there, and it has a long orbit. With Uranus and Neptune, it is called one of the generational planets because the length of time it spends in each sign makes its effect more collective than personal. I’m also going to acknowledge that some astrologers are discussing whether or not Pluto still counts sans official planetary status, an false invention of the 20th century. In modern astrology, it’s considered to be the ruler of the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio’s attachment to the 8th Astrological House has to do with shared values and other people’s money; regenerative processes like sleep, sex, and death (think rebirth, like the tarot); and letting go or releasing energy. Wherever Pluto is in our chart, those deep, transformative processes are sure to be working in our lives. Pluto, as archetypical ruler of the underworld, can often show where we get into power struggles as well. Its placement shows where energies can erupt from the subconscious, from the molten core.

NOW. It’s my assertion, and other astrologers have probably touched on it, that our Pluto placement is really the indicator to which generational group we belong. I’m going to use the planetary dates in general, from the years that the planet shifted signs and didn’t go back. Pluto’s irregular orbit means that it spends more or less time in certain signs, and it’s retrograde period of about half a year means that it does spend some months and years going back and forth between signs. As a collective influence, Pluto shows the reaction of each generation to the previous one. As it moves through each sign, it slowly transforms the way the generation responds to the energy of the sign.

Without further ado, here is my exhaustively researched, sublimely eloquent, and ultimately definitive viewpoint on where the generational lines fall, according to astrology:

LOST GENERATION (Pluto in Gemini, 1883-1914, 31 years) Gemini is about communication and information, and this time saw mass media like never before. Newspapers, phonograph, photography, radio, telephone. Airplane and automobile. Industrial revolution, establishment of the fed, monopolies and trustbusters. This generation was decimated by WWI.

G.I. or GREATEST GENERATION (Pluto in Cancer, 1914-1939, 25 years) Cancer is the sign of the home, personal identity, and feeling. WWI followed by the Depression and Dustbowl shook us to the core, American identity had to be reformed. We took to insular politics for awhile, like a crab hiding in its shell. The bulk of those who fought in WWII born during this time.

SILENT GENERATION (Pluto in Leo, 1939-1957, 18 years) Leo is the sign of the King, and larger than life figures dominated their way through WWII. New Deal. United Nations is formed. Abuse of Leo power shown in McCarthyism. Korean War. Pluto’s 10th house placement in Leo meant that public life was changing, it was important to keep up with Joneses especially during this transit-everyone was watching you.

BABY BOOMERS (Pluto in Virgo, 1957-1972, 15 years) I actually think this might be my most controversial point. If you look at actual population growth post WWII, it is in these years that it really spikes. Virgo is a powerfully feminine sign and relates to the Everywoman/man, Kennedy and Johnson’s social programs were popping, time called Era of the Great Society. The bulk of the American civil rights movement happened during this time. In terms of Virgo practicality, we did things never before achieved like the moon landing. This time is also going from Korean War to Vietnam.

GENERATION X (Pluto in Libra, 1972-1984, 12 years) Libra is relationship, balance and harmony, the roots of democracy. This time period saw the end of Vietnam, improving relations with China, as well as the Freedom of Information Act and the Equal Rights Amendment. This is also the Sexual Revolution, people more openly questioning traditional gender roles.

MILLENIALS (Pluto in Scorpio, 1984-1996, 12 years) Pluto is in its domicile or at home in Scorpio: shared values through release and regeneration. Last generation before advent of social media, also last group to recall a pre 9/11 world. Scorpio destruction saw fall of Berlin Wall, dissolution of USSR, Yugoslavia. AIDS crisis during this time, putting sexual health at the forefront, also a Scorpio thing, as well as reproductive changes, test-tube babies, cloning and genetic engineering. Gulf War, Iran Contra, etc. Degeneration of lending practices sets up future Recession. Things get sneakier, more repressed?

PLUTO IN SAGITTARIUS (1996-2009, 14 years, the next one, haven’t been named yet): 9/11, War on Terror, have never seen a world without social media. Internet made borders obsolete, smartphones and social media brought people from foreign places (a Sag thing) together like never before while the Recession limited the resources of young people in ways not seen in almost a century.

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN (2009-2024, 15 years) This transit will transform the way we operate collectively. Capricorn is the sign of public life, legacies, and longevity, as well as moving through fear. This time will challenge all of us on how we operate together.  No pressure though. The war in Iraq, as well as the Syrian refugee crisis, mass shootings, and global increase in terrorism mark the changing nature of war, as Pluto is related to conflict.

Since this endeavor began as a response to the GenX/Millenial gap, here are the exact dates of the transition between these two generations:

  • Pre 10/5/1983 Pluto in Libra (GenX)
  • 10/5/1983-5/17/1984 Pluto in Scorpio (Millenial)
  • 5/18/1984-8/27/1984 Pluto in Libra (GenX)
  • Post 8/28/1984 Pluto in Scorpio (Millenial)

Cheers!

Will

P.S. I used my Pottinger/Michelson Ephemeris for reference, as well as The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need by Joanna Martine Woolfolk and Astrology: A Cosmic Science by Isabel M. Hickey. I also glanced at some Wikipedia for the traditionally given generation names, and ourworldindata.org had some really useful information about world population growth over time.

P.P.S. I think the reason folks don’t feel like a GenXer or a Millenial is because the transition between the two energies marks a change. Going into 1984 was the end of the GenX Pluto in Libra energy. They might not relate to someone who came at the previous shift from Virgo in 1972. The progression of Pluto in Libra created a new outcome which led to the shift into Scorpio. Maybe the people in the middle of the time period feel more like a “real” GenXer or Millenial? Who knows…that’s the discussion, right?
