The Twilight of #Pluto and the Future of the #Earth
#John-Michael-Greer discusses his book 'The Twilight of Pluto: Astrology and the Rise and Fall of Planetary Influences'. Recent #research in #astrology has shown that the discovery of a new planet correlates with the emergence of a new set of influences in individual and collective life.
As Greer reveals, the opposite is also true: the demotion of a planet correlates with the decline of a set of influences. Exploring the waxing and waning of planetary influences in astrology, Greer explains in detail how the demotion or proved non-existence of a planet marks the beginning of a roughly 30-year period in which that planet’s influence fades out.
He examines several examples of planet demotion, including #Ceres, whose influence began to take shape some 30 years before its discovery in #1801 and gradually faded over the three decades following its demotion in the 1850s.
Examining Pluto’s astrological influence in depth, from the beginning of the search for 'Planet X' in 1900 to the end of its influence in 2036, the author shows how during the Plutonian era the concept of cosmos - from the ancient Greek meaning “that which is beautifully ordered” - was in eclipse. Pluto’s influence led to the rejection of unity, beauty, and order, exemplified through the splitting of the atom by physicists, the splitting of the individual into conscious and subconscious halves by psychoanalysts, and the splitting of the world into warring camps by politicians.
Offering an essential guide not only to the astrology of the future but also to the twilight of the Plutonian era, Greer shows how as Pluto’s influence fades out in the years ahead, a great many disruptive phenomena of the recent past will fade with it.

6 Sept 2024 #Pluto in #Tropical #Astrology: Delving into the Depths of #Transformation
Today, we'll discuss Pluto's significant position at the last degree of Capricorn and its upcoming connections with #Uranus and #Neptune. These outer planets are closely linked by harmonious aspects, making this a crucial moment to explore. We'll dive into the archetypal meanings behind these planetary combinations, using insights from Ren Butler's The #Archetypal #Universe to understand why this transit is so impactful.
#quote
"On September 18, a #partial Lunar #Eclipse accompanies the #Full #Moon in #purvabhabrapada. The Moon conjoins #Neptune, and the two form the apex of a harmonious #kite figure with the #Sun, #Pluto, and #Uranus. #Mercury and #Saturn are in exact opposition to each other. #Jupiter is still in tense aspects to the Moon and Mercury.
The mystical quality of time calls upon us to keep an eye on our boundaries and limitations. If your life’s inner and outer structures are stable, you can receive vital impulses during these days, the fruits of which will be welcome in the coming weeks. Unstable situations and circumstances, on the other hand, may call for a fundamental reorientation. The signs of the times are excellent for restructuring, as indicated by the Sun-Uranus trine on September 19."

Feeling a little neglected?
#Pluto https://fridaystuff.com/product/pluto-never-forget-1930-2006-pluto-planet/
A #mini-planet orbiting in the frigid #outer reaches of the #solarsystem has a #Saturn-like #ring of #dust and #debris that #defies the rules of #physics, a new study has #revealed.
The planet in question is called #Quaoar and it's the #seventh largest of the known #dwarf #planets of which #Pluto is the #king. #Discovered in #2002 and about 697 miles wide (1,121 kilometers), Quaoar is one of the so-called #trans-Neptunian objects, small planets orbiting #beyond the solar system's outermost planet #Neptune.
Residing in the #KuiperBelt, the doughnut-shaped ring of rocky and icy debris in the outer solar system, Quaoar is a proud owner of its own #moon, the 100-mile-wide (160 km) #Weywot. And a recent observation campaign revealed that it also has a ring of material in its orbit.
That by itself wouldn't be so special. The gas giant Saturn is known to possess a whole series of rings. #Jupiter, Neptune and #Uranus also have some. One other trans-Neptunian object — #Haumea — has been found to have a ring, and the space rock #Chariklo that orbits between #Saturn and #Uranus also has one. So what exactly sets Quaoar's ring apart?
Related: Dwarf planets: science & facts about the solar system’s smaller worlds
Quaoar's ring is at a very unusual #distance from its parent body. In fact, before astronomers discovered Quaoar's ring in observations from several telescopes conducted between 2018 and 2021, they had thought that it was impossible for a ring to exist at such a distance. With a radius of about 2,420 miles (3,885 km) from Quaoar's center, the ring is too far away from the dwarf planet that its gravity should no longer be able to keep the material dispersed. Instead, it should coalesce under its own gravity and form another moon, just like Weywot. By not having done that, the ring has breached what astronomers call the Roche limit, the first known ring around a #celestial body to have done so.
"What is so intriguing about this discovery around Quaoar is that the ring of material is much farther out than the Roche limit," Giovanni Bruno, an astronomer at Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and one of the authors of the paper, said in a European #Space Agency (ESA) statement. "As a result of our observations, the classical notion that dense rings survive only inside the Roche limit of a planetary body must be thoroughly revised."
The ring was discovered during a series of occultations, essentially eclipses, when Quaoar passed between Earth and several more distant but much brighter stars. When an occultation occurs, the light of the background star temporarily dims. The effect is only visible to very sensitive telescopes and is frequently used to detect exoplanets orbiting stars in our Milky Way galaxy, which is why ESA's exoplanet hunter Cheops was among the telescopes watching these Quaoar occultations.
When astronomers analyzed the data, they realized that apart from the main dip in the background stars' brightness, they could detect two smaller drops. Since drops occurred before and after the main occultation, respectively, the researchers thought that Quaoar must be surrounded with a ring.
Several Earth-based telescopes also observed the occultations with similar results, but Cheops' data were particularly valuable as they proved that the odd dimmings were not caused by the effects of Earth's atmosphere.

..."Right now - #Saturn is in #Pisces. He was in Pisces when Pluto went into Aquarius for his first pass last spring and he will be in Pisces when #Pluto makes his final move into Aquarius next fall.
Saturn isn't uber strong in Pisces.
The lack of boundaries. The drifting off purpose. The weak authority. There is a reason Saturn rules both a cardinal and a fixed sign and an earth and an air sign, but not a mutable or a water sign. And Pisces is mutable water.
We will keep in mind that Pluto will be in Aquarius for 20 years and Saturn will ONLY be in Pisces for about another year, but Saturn is in Pisces as Pluto has moved into Aquarius, ALL THREE TIMES. This is important. This matters/means something. Saturn in Pisces is answering to Neptune in Pisces. Neptune rules Pisces and IS strong. So, there is nowhere else for Saturn to go (for example if Saturn was in Pisces and Neptune was in Aries, Saturn would still be answering to Neptune, but Arian energy ie Mars would be pulled into the mix, because Neptune would be in Aries).
Saturn in Pisces is IN Pisces with Neptune. Mutable water. No where else to go.
(look at the example of both Biden and Trump's progressed Suns in the 12th house now - the 12th house, Pisces natural house, ruling things like prisons and hospitals and maybe being up a creek without a paddle - AND the United States progressed Sun is in Pisces with the progressed Moon applying to a conjunction and Uranus on the top of the chart!)
So, what does this mean to Pluto/to us? Pisces may not give us a strong backbone - but, maybe that's because we don't need a strong backbone right now, maybe a strong backbone would be counterproductive for Pluto in Aquarius right now - but PISCES CAN STILL, AND DOES, HAVE OUR BACK. Collectively we would get our strength/our stability through Pisces energy.
Prayer. Music. Spirituality. Art. Compassion. Water/the ocean. Our ancestors/past lives. AND, because all this is complicated, we might be more or less comfortable with shows of vulnerability or weakness. More or less comfortable - depending on our natal Saturn - with anything that feels too woo-woo/out there."...

Julie Demboski's #ASTROLOGY ~ Addressing the Individual Experience Within the Universal Truth
With #Pluto in #Aquarius the perceptual challenges center on both Higher Mind and the thinking around the frameworks we use to elaborate on and explain various life areas, what we might label the impersonal academics of What Is. One of the Aquarian keywords is ‘Understanding’, so that this period may usher in breakdowns in our ideas around methods of destruction, transformation, and renewal, may completely re-formulate our ideas around the sciences, as well as sparking new, innovative approaches to ‘old’ problems, especially ones like climate change and ‘progress’ in tech and AI that once appeared to seriously threaten our own obliteration.
Big effects for individuals emerge with Pluto contacts to the natal planets and points, so will be felt, though the sweeping changes the lord of the Underworld brings with changes in sign are more an experience of societies as a whole, rather than as personal ones for each of us. That said, we can’t help but be affected by what goes on in the wider world, and of course, when we do experience Pluto on an individual level it feels like the most personal of experiences, which are almost guaranteed to emphasize our own powerlessness in the face of the inevitable: aging and death, entropy, permanent loss, transformation, rebirth–in short, the Truth of the Universe. The thing about a Pluto transit to a natal placement, especially to the personal planets and points like the Ascendant, is that it changes us in large and permanent ways that feel like they’re happening only to us. During a Plutonian experience the best thing we can do is take a step back and acknowledge the Universality of the experience, beyond our own personal loss or trauma.
The Full Moon perfects on the 25th just before 9:54 AM PST at 5 Leo 14, with both Earth and Moon recently opposing Pluto, newly arrived in Aquarius. A Full Moon in Leo puts emotional focus on the Self, on something discovered or coming to light about ourselves that we didn’t know before. In this case, the conclusions reached can’t be separated from the effects of Pluto contact; that is, the change, transformation, elimination, or destruction wrought by Pluto is now processed by us emotionally. We see what that change really means to us, with the nature of the change or loss related in some way either to matters of the House(s) that hold Capricorn (most likely), Aquarius (less likely), Scorpio (possibly), and/ or the House where natal Pluto is located (this most likely if transiting Pluto or another body is currently aspecting it).
...
Is anything really hidden from us? I don’t believe it is, if we have the courage to genuinely look at what’s before us. It’s true of the world, and it’s true in our relationships. With the Leo Full Moon, what’s on offer is emotional revelation about ourselves. Don’t be afraid of what you’ll see–it’s truly for the best."...

THE #ASTROLOGY OF #PLUTO INTO #AQUARIUS | THE FIRST CHESS PIECE TAKES THE BOARD AND THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 2024

..."What will Plutonian INTENSITY, a natural square to Aquarius intelligence and detachment, bring?
Will what seemed so close to being 'power to the people' when Pluto met up with Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) in the 1960's, be more about "a tech plutocracy/rulership", littered with "trust the science" inspired by whatever events it takes for us to conform our collective consciousness into a giant cohesive "greater good" style machine?
Or, is there another way, a better way, a more human way, for us to evolve into more collective individuals?
We are not so much evolving as co-evolving. But thousands of years under the umbrella of 'patriarchy', which is NOT about old white men by the way, has left us susceptible to not knowing what REALLY supports and nourishes us.
There is something about this Sun-blinding Cappy-close-out (who says Pluto doesn't have style?) that is screaming at us to LOOK DEEPER.
Aquarius will ask us to put aside our old familiar ways of thinking and relating and doing things and using/building/holding onto structure. And since the transit of URANUS INTO GEMINI IS COMING/breathing down our necks and Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and Uranus will be the last chess player to move onto the board before the new game begins AND will trine Pluto in Aquarius, while co-ruling him, FIVE times between 2026 and 2028 -
it will be important to ask questions in ways that we can be surprised by the answers.
A person during the American, French or Industrial Revolutions, living on planet Earth the last time Pluto entered Aquarius, could have had no idea of what was ahead for them and we don't either."...

..."Because Pluto resides at the very distant outer fringes of our solar system its movements are glacial, and its effects transformative, both on society as a whole, as well as in our own individual lives. And when it changes signs, which it does infrequently, we can feel the sea change, as well as experience the growing pains that comes with it.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1777 thru 1798. We were in the throes of the American Revolution, soon followed by the French revolution, which was then followed by its reign of terror. Pluto is dramatic in its effects, and revolutionary. Not only politically but economically and socially. The very motto derived from the French Revolution succinctly defines the Aquarian ideals of Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood.
We are entering another Pluto in Aquarius era, and there simply is no avoiding it. And as Pluto leaves the last vestiges of the Capricorn era, there will be those who will resist the transition. It could seem to some as if their whole lives, everything that they built up, everything that they believed in is being subject to change and even destruction. There will be those who out of desperation will try to hold on, refusing to step down and make way for the new paradigm. But they must.
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. ~ King Whitney Jr.
For a good part of the year ahead, Saturn will semi-square Pluto symbolizing this resistance. But we have no choice. Society as a whole will continue to evolve despite themselves. And the stark reality of an evolving society can no longer be resisted in the end. It simply must be.
Pluto in Aquarius has this capacity to transform, and even revolutionize the world in remarkable ways. And it has the capacity to do so in our own individual lives as well. "...

Know also that change is not always welcome. And know that even after November, when #Pluto is fully seated in the sign of #Aquarius, the old guard from the Pluto in #Capricorn era will still be holding on. But only barely.
Old habits die hard. Old regimes continue to vie for control Vestiges from bygone eras will continue to try to insinuate themselves into our lives, as they long for a past that we have long since outgrown. There can be fear with change: Fear of becoming irrelevant; Fear that all that we had worked so hard to create is subject to destruction; perhaps even fear of destruction of all that we knew. And so we desperately cling to what once was, and what we were familiar with.
And as we stand here at the very last degree of Capricorn, we stand on this threshold between one era and the next. And it can feel a little scary. And it can be hard to let go. Pluto can be a metaphor for death and destruction. But it is also a symbol for birth and renewal.
Over the past 15 years, what valuable lessons have I learned? What achievements have I contributed to? What have I helped to build?
What are we still holding on to that we no longer need, and is only holding us back, and preventing us from growing?
What traditions or outmoded ideas are no longer relevant to us as a whole?
What are those things in society that are no longer sustainable?
What are the traditions and customs that are worth saving, and help to further support and define our values?
How can I best share what I have learned with others? Or make it more meaningful?
On January 20th both the Sun and Pluto will enter Aquarius.

..."This is our first #NewMoon in #Capricorn with #Saturn in $Pisces since 1996. This is our last New Moon in Capricorn with #Pluto in Capricorn in our lifetime. Saturn and Pisces are not naturally compatible. Saturn is all about structure and limits and discipline and achievement and remember Saturn has been in the sign of his ancient rulership (Aquarius) and the sign of his rulership (Capricorn) for several years before this. We had gotten accustomed to being STRONG and to HAVING to be strong. Saturn in Pisces answering to #Neptune is not so strong and the good news for us is we don't have to be either! As Saturn in Pisces dissolves limits and rules and structures we have grown used to - this may not be comfortable. Time melts. Reality is an illusion. Reality is malleable. We might be less ambitious. Maybe with Saturn in Pisces we are building things that are not quite so 'real', not quite so lasting, but also maybe not quite so rigid.
2024 will be a year when we start the process of stopping trying to apply old solutions to problems that can't be solved through our ENGAGEMENT with the struggle. Cappy New Moons are not about fast action (although the trine to Uranus will create a smooth portal for fast change if its needed) so much as it is about allowing ourselves to PATIENTLY grow into a new situation. With Pluto changing signs on the 20th, we all need to be prepared for things to move more quickly and in a new direction.
...
Saturn, the ruler of this lunation, is well-aspected through sextiles with Mars and Jupiter. Although his placement in Pisces and Mercury's square to Neptune in Pisces plus Pluto at the very end of Cappy AGAIN will likely speak of some Capricorn exhaustion here. That's OK. Being tired of the same old thing makes that trine with Uranus - the something new - even more appealing!
Venus and Jupiter are in mutual reception. The benefics having access to their home signs through each other is a good sign at this New Moon. "...
