The world as we know it is about to change, yet again. But things might get worse before they would get better.
In February 2022, Pluto will complete its first revolution in the chart of the United States of America. As the furthest planet from the sun, Pluto moves slower than the rest of the planets in our solar system. This means that for the first time ever, Pluto will return to the exact position in the zodiac that it was during the United States’ inception on Jul. 4, 1776. It takes about 245 years for Pluto to complete a full rotation through the zodiac, so the Pluto return is an alignment that no human has ever experienced in their own natal chart. [1]
Before you discard astrology as esoteric balderdash, be reminded that the whole world was affected by the transits of Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn on 12 January 2020. This was the “unprecedented” event that was discussed by astrologers for at least 10 years prior.
There is more to astrology than useless horoscopes one finds in teen magazines.
Back to the story, the United States is experiencing its first ever Pluto return – a once every 248-year event, which facilitates a major break-down and rebirthing process.
The narrative of this country is inverting, leading to a new beginning or a final end, with consequences that will affect the entire world.
The driving principle behind Pluto is that of reform, or the “urge to purge” to change that which is considered, or has become, harmful and destructive. [2]
Pluto is the planet of upheaval, exposing our shadows, insecurities, and the skeletons in the closet we’d prefer to ignore until the end of time. Pluto transits bring us to the chamber of transfiguration, forever altering consciousness. [3]
We are the world. The world is you and me, the world is not separate from you and me. We have created this world – the world of violence, the world of wars, the world of religious divisions, sex, anxieties, the utter lack of communication with each other, with no sense of compassion, consideration for another. Wherever one goes in any country throughout the world, human beings, that is, you and another, suffer; we are anxious, we are uncertain, we don’t know what is going to happen. Everything has become uncertain. Right through the world as human beings we are in sorrow, fear, anxiety, violence, uncertain of everything, insecure. There is a common relationship between us all. We are the world essentially, basically, fundamentally. The world is you, and you are the world. Realizing that fundamentally, deeply, not romantically, not intellectually but actually, then we see that our problem is a global problem. It is not my problem or your particular problem, it is a human problem. [4]
We could be experiencing a post-apocalyptic life in the aftermath of the pandemic, or we could be living in a time, beaming with potential, unbridled creativity, and life-changing innovation, inspiring us to awaken, and move towards the change we wish to see in the world.
Obviously, we are looking at some very powerful things coming down the road. This, of course, brings up the potential for abuse.
Many question what our future will be like with so many powerful technologies at our disposal.
With the entry of a large number of traditional industries, the entire society has begun to accelerate progress, and various technologies have gradually begun to develop around the shadow of Metaverse and NFT, and this has also made the public start to look forward to the future society. [5]
The new decentralized internet, or Web 3.0 could lead to a paradigm shift that will transform the digital economy in its entirety.
Or we could be facing the next great recession.
Pluto highlights trauma, abuse, and otherwise unethical power dynamics – but it can also turn the tables and help us reclaim our power – even redefine what it means to be powerful altogether.
“The masses of people are carried along, obedient to the environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life.”
Three Initiates
Even though complete independence might be out of reach for most people, a little planning for the future can go a long way, helping you to feel more at ease when it comes to your finances, and your personal freedom. Knowledge, yet again, is power.
Pluto can however, create a false sense of security before unleashing its power when least expected, so this could all just be a holographic, phantasmagoric display of dystopia.
Get yourself some precious metals, just in case.
On a lighter note, mighty Jupiter is having a very big year — which is a good thing for everybody, considering Jupiter is the planet of good luck. This auspicious period will be marked by rapid spiritual growth, dreamy artistic inspiration, and an overall sense of wonder and idealism for everyone. [6]
Furthermore, a simple shift in perspective could be uplifting – freeing us from uncertainty, and fear, which would make us much more effective in our dealings with any potential socio-economic disrupts.
You have the power to create the life you wish to live, even though your current reality might seem completely different. You can choose your reality.
With the power of self-inquiry, the most efficient and direct way of discovering what reality is, and what it isn’t, you could be revealed liberation and find peace beyond words. By finding your true, innate nature you’ll see that happiness is not out there in the external world, but is in fact, your very essence.
