Aquarius Season 2024.
Sun illuminating the path of Pluto.
The Sun enters Aquarius on Saturn day and is illuminating the path for Pluto that follows closely behind. We have two ingresses of Pluto in Aquarius this year. First is on January 20th and second on November 19th, and after that it is a 20 year long passage of our collective transformation and gradual re-acquaintance with the kind of freedom that demands total responsibility from each of us. This season every planet entering Aquarius is going to be initiated and catalyzed by Pluto, the firsts of many meetings Pluto is going to hold in the home of a fixed air sign. Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, which is currently in Pisces. The transformation of societal and cultural ways with a purely cerebral approach is not going to cut it, Piscean principles of unconditional love and compassion has to be a deciding factor for all of us, in all of our dealings.
Aquarius energy is tricky, change is desired but we need to remember change is a multidimensional and complex process, and when it is coming from a place of rigidity and dogma it can elevate autocratic notions. This energy thrives when it finds enough space, enough distance to have the highest perspective of the social and collective processes, of the concept of equality and unique self expression. The collective is under the Aquarius, scientific and humanitarian progress is also Aquarius, electricity, all the waves ( not water related, electromagnetic related waves), internet, social media, political parties and revolution, anarchy and elitist mindset somehow also reside in Aquarius. Long term future and technology is here, and of course Astrology is under the influence of this archetype. The amount of contradictions the Aquarian energy holds is bound to produce a scope of influence that is incredibly hard to grasp, so for as long we try to attach ourselves to one truth or ideology, we shall inevitably miss the purpose of making space for multitude of truths that are orbiting us. My sense is that large entities, as in political parties, organizations and even counties are on the way to re-organize to create space for the multitude of opinions and truths.
Pluto in Aquarius is going to slowly move the tectonic plates of the collective understanding of what freedom and equality, progress and individuality, community and community care actually mean to us. This is the conversation about the future that is very, very long term. Keep in mind this is the last fixed sign so do not expect rapid changes, the collective will hold on to the mental attitudes for as long as it is possible, the illusion of control. Those ideologies and concepts of the way life ought to be lived will be transformed, but not without some gripping on the behalf of those who deem themselves more deserving than the others. The hope is that we can give up the idea of one common reality, one truth, one ideology, because the interesting thing about the Aquarius energy is that the need to bring all people together very often ends in dogma, totalitarianism and elitist agenda. If there is one thing I strongly believe is essential for the upcoming 20 years, is that if we do not learn to resist the one truth, that truth will take everyone down. So cultivate discernment, do not fear to stand alone for a moment, but aim to relate to the ones who share your vision and do not try to convince those who do not.
Pluto rules power, but it also rules manipulation that robs us of power. If you think about it Pluto is a very political beast, scheming and manipulating, the arena it is entering is of global, multi-national, technocratic and elitist views about the nature of our future. So the power resides in how well we know ourselves and can apply that knowing to this unfolding reality. Every human matters, and we need to remember this every step of the way. The grandiose views of what it means to be a human is not a path we want to walk on, being human should not become an elitist concept. As Aquarius energy is associated with the internet and is connected to how we perceive freedom, Pluto might bring restrictions to the way we utilize the online landscapes. So what will be the price we are willing to pay to have access to the perceived freedoms of the online era? My hope is that we won’t delegate so much of our power to data that data can become an unspoken king. Let’s observe and do not rush to any conclusions, the ruler of this fixed sign transit is in the mutable water sign, so many changes in our perception of reality are abound.
