Discussion includes how this past week’s Leo Full Moon exposed the plight of individuals against ideological notions of “a more perfect union” as the ongoing U.S. Pluto return reveals how corporate greed is rotting governmental foundations from the inside out.
Pluto=other peoples’ money=taxpayer dollars. Pluto also=joint resources=federal loans & grants. In Uranus-ruled Aquarius, which Pluto will transit through until March 2043, it’s about transformation of joint resources due to ideological notions of a “more perfect union.”
But Aquarius is an “of the people, by the people, for the people,” humanitarian archetypal notion. The kind that represents humanitarian advances in technology that make life better for us all. However, given that the effects of U.S. Pluto return--triggered initially @27’33” Capricorn in 2022—will last until about 2036 if history proves educational—it’s highly likely this period will culminate as a time of “power to the people.”
It's just that it’s going to take a while to get there and it won’t happen without a fight. However, the signs of an infected U.S. governmental system—based on financial policies such as more deregulation, fiscal austerity, trickle down economics of the “starve the beast” kind—have burst through into consciousness during the new Trump administration.
The February 9 Sun/Mercury conjunction in Aquarius, squares by the Aquarius Mercury & Sun to sudden change maker Uranus on February 10 & 11, & the February 12 Leo Full Moon, respectively, have brought alarm & consternation, but also additional clarity as these aspects highlight disenfranchisement of the individual.
In addition, as the news continues to fly so fast and furiously that it’s hard to keep up, one fact stands out in stark relief. And that is that technology matters more than people. That’s because non-elected folks like billionaire Elon Musk continue to use AI to parse out what the tech bros describe as “waste & fraud” in the American Treasury Department’s systems of payments.
With no oversight, they seem to be the only ones—along with newly appointed billionaires who now head major governmental cabinet posts—in charge of the U.S. payment system. And that includes not only humanitarian medical & food aid both at home & abroad, but Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, student loans, and much more.
When oligarch wannabes steer the ship, it’s becoming easier to see that the final destination is NOT enhanced people power, but rather corporate power uber alles, which means “above everything else.”
Will the upcoming entrance of Neptune into Aries on March 30 save us? What about when Saturn enters Aries on May 26 and the two planets run side by side in 2025 before they exact conjoin at the 0° Aries point on February 20, 2026. And how about the upcoming trine of Uranus—after it enters Gemini July 7—to Pluto in Aquarius, the effects of which we’ll begin to feel in 2025 and which will last through to 2029.
