I wanted to add an image that represents Pluto in astrology, but stumbled upon this instead. It’s been buried in my phone since 2019. This is actually The Hierophant card, the 5th card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot but for some reason it reminds me of Pluto, which makes sense…
The Hierophant is associated with society, organized religion and tradition, keeper of sacred knowledge. The way Pluto as The Hierophant is portrayed here, God of the Underworld, the planet in Astrology (the higher octave of Mars) that represents death, destruction, the occult, what’s hidden, desire for obsession and control – fits here.
It’s from a tattoo themed tarot deck I own and the artwork was done by tattoo artist Daniel Albrigo.
So Pluto has been coming up a lot lately, especially now since we are living in even more unstable times. Yes, we’ve been living in unstable times since 2020 and way even before that but it’s just more out in the open now. That’s what Pluto does – exposes your true motives whether it’s on a collective or personal level. And because it’s in Aquarius – the zodiac sign associated with technology, the collective and rebellious, out-of-the-box thinking – it is affecting groups of people. It is affecting the USA, France, and other current events where there is pushback against the establishment.
Most people trusted their government, most people thought that because they graduated from college and have a degree that they would be guaranteed a job. That people would be able to get married, buy a house, have children and live the American Dream.
People have also lost their benefits, can’t afford gas, groceries or even healthcare.
And so here we are, enter Pluto in Aquarius which lasts until 2043.
I even asked Google and it gave me this. I typed it out with my comments in red:
Pluto’s transit into Aquarius in 2024 is expected to have a significant impact on the United States, ushering in a period of cultural change and humanitarian revolution:
Challenges to the status quo
Pluto’s transit into Aquarius is expected to challenge the structures of the elite and the “good for a few” model of capitalism. (Example: billionaires)Shift to inclusivity
Pluto in Aquarius is expected to shift the focus to building communities that work for everyone, and to dismantle outdated hierarchies. (This is happening now)New government structures
Pluto in Aquarius could lead to the creation of new government structures (It could be possible)Social innovation
Pluto in Aquarius could lead to groundbreaking technology and medicine, and social innovation that changes the course of history. (I half agree with this. If anything AI has modified how we work while at the same time a lot of people are losing their jobs)Activism
Pluto in Aquarius could lead to a period of activism like the world has never seen before.Pluto’s transit into Aquarius is expected to last until 2043. Pluto’s orbit is 248 years long, which is the same age as the United States, so the last time Pluto was in Aquarius was in the 1700s (Young people are fed up with a broken system – look at what’s happening in France)
Question to ponder: where is Pluto in your personal astrology – your natal placements/aspects or your birthchart, and what is it doing in your life?
