Ruling Planet Pluto
 

Where have we been with Pluto in Capricorn.
History reflects that Pluto in Capricorn, an astrological transit that typically spans about 15-20 years and occurs roughly every 250 years.  The planet Pluto, in astrology represents transformation, rebirth, power, destruction, and regeneration, while Capricorn associated with structure, authority, governance, tradition, and long-term goals, interacts with Pluto's energy of deep transformation, power, and rebirth.
Together, these energies catalyze profound societal and systemic changes, often dismantling outdated structures to make way for new paradigms.  The lessons of this period often revolve around deconstructing outdated systems, redefining power dynamics, and laying new foundations for collective progress.

So, where will we go with Pluto in Aquarius not to return to into Capricorn effective November 19th, 2024. 
What can we expect, dream or hope for.  With this day governed by the Ace of Clubs - Anything is possible. 
Five of Spades - Change, Change, Change is good.  Three of Hearts - the Trinity, the Merkaba, Speaking ones Truth through freedom of choice...Sounds like heaven, almost.

As Pluto transitions into Aquarius (2023–2024), the focus shifts from top-down power and structure to collective innovation, technology, and societal interconnectedness. The lessons learned in Capricorn provide the foundation for this new era of progress and collaboration. It's a period that will be marked by transformative shifts in collective consciousness, innovation, and social structures. Aquarius, a sign associated with progress, technology, freedom, and humanitarian ideals, interacts with Pluto’s deep transformative energy to challenge entrenched systems and inspire revolutionary changes.

Key Themes Across Pluto in Aquarius

1. Revolution and Reform: This period often coincides with uprisings that challenge traditional hierarchies, empowering the collective.

2. Innovation and Progress: Aquarian energy fuels breakthroughs in science, technology, and philosophy.

History shows that Pluto in Aquarius often brings a world-changing sense of innovation and liberation. The transformations seeded in these periods can redefine the trajectory of humanity, emphasizing a future rooted in progress, equality, and collective evolution.  We will all be planting new seeds, in more ways than one...

Pluto will redefine one's self and the realization within one's self  while breaking apart that which no longer serves ones hopes, dreams, passion and life force.  Pluto in Aquarius in its transit over the next 24 years will inevitability bring a balance to freedom and equality.  However, we must remember that Uranus moves uniquely in several ways compared to other planets in the solar system. Its unusual characteristics result from its extreme axial tilt, orbital behavior, and retrograde rotation. Here's how Uranus stands out:

Extreme Axial Tilt (Generated by AI)

• Tilt of 98 Degrees: Uranus rotates on its side, with its axis almost perpendicular to its orbital plane. This is unlike any other planet, as most have relatively small tilts (Earth's tilt is 23.5°). (my view & opinion; this is two steps sideways and one step back, then forward).

• Seasonal Extremes: Its tilt creates dramatic seasons. Each pole experiences 21 Earth years of continuous sunlight followed by 21 years of darkness during its 84-year orbit around the Sun. (my view & opinion;  freaky weather).

• Possible Cause: This tilt may have been caused by a massive collision with a planet-sized object early in Uranus's history. (my view & opinion; we can expect epiphany's out of the blue).

2. Retrograde Rotation

• Spins Backward: Uranus rotates in the opposite direction of most planets (retrograde motion). Like Venus, it spins clockwise when viewed from above its north pole, whereas most planets spin counterclockwise.

• Impact of Its Tilt: Combined with its extreme tilt, this retrograde rotation makes Uranus appear to "roll" along its orbital path rather than spinning upright like a top.

3. Odd Magnetic Field

• Off-Center and Tilted: Uranus's magnetic field is significantly offset from its rotational axis (by about 60 degrees) and does not pass through the planet's center. This results in an irregular and shifting magnetosphere.

• Dynamic Aurora: The magnetic field produces unusual auroras, which are not aligned with the poles, unlike Earth's.

4. Slow Orbital Motion

• Distant and Slow: Uranus orbits the Sun at an average distance of 19.8 AU (astronomical units) and takes about 84 Earth years to complete one revolution. Its slow motion makes its changes in position less noticeable to casual observers compared to inner planets.

Why Uranus's Motion is Unique

The combination of its extreme tilt, retrograde rotation, and unusual magnetic field makes Uranus one of the most fascinating and peculiar planets in the solar system. Its unique behavior provides scientists with insights into planetary formation, collisions, and the dynamics of celestial bodies with irregular orientations.

It appears to me we will all be changed, maybe with a twinkle of an eye.  We all should feel honored to be living during these times, and to experience this great movement within our universe and within ourselves.  Uranus, in mythology is the Sky God, in the zodiac its the Water Bearer, he represents intelligence, hopes dreams, friends, communities,  the future,  newness, thinking, light, electric, socializing, clubs, radio, labor services, transits, business plans, thinking, one for all and all for one, it attracts the child in us, fun, joy and happiness, and much-much more.
May God Bless you and keep you and your loved ones near and dear, healthy and safe. 
See you around!
