@gbs The transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius has been going on for a while now, but it has certainly sped up a bit recently and will continue to do so as we get further and further over the "border". The signs of Pisces and Aquarius have a pretty large overlap in the sky, so the transition won't be fully complete until we're past the past point of the overlap. I'm not sure when that actually happens, but it's still at least a few decades away, I think. I know that we're at least past the mid-point of the transition, which probably accounts for the increase in the old falling away as the new comes in.
@gbs Back in 2010 I received the dates of mid 2025 to 2028 as a major shift from a patriarchal to matriarch age. We will see a female president and vice president and also likely a female Speaker of the House. I posted this in 2016 and a reader whose alias is @Asian, told me my predictions corresponded to the Kali Yuga shifts from patriarchal to matriarchal age.
Although I am not an astrologer, your point about Pluto exiting Capricorn in 2024 also fits a vision I had a few days before the 2016 election. I saw a vision of Pluto, God of the underworld, dominating our world, stealing our innocence (as in the Greek myth of the rape of Persephone).
In the myth, Pluto steals Persephone and takes her to the underworld. Her mother, the Goddess of the Grain, was so distraught that the crops wouldn't grow. So the people forced Pluto to bring her back.
In a vision many years before, I'd seen that in mid to late 2020's we'd see a permanent (1000 year) drought in the U.S. heartland. The drought is brought on a combination of climate change, which is patriarchally-driven, and zealous growers who refuse to moderate their water use. My visions add up to your astrology, that around the mid 2020's Pluto is out and so are the Republicans.
@jeanne-mayell The matriarch age also aligns with feng shui period 9, which is supposed to start in 2024. Period 9 is associated with the Li trigram, which symbolizes the second/middle daughter, or middle-age woman. Li trigram is also associated with the fire element and relates to 'eyes'. Excerpt about period 9 related industries below from https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flying-star-feng-shui-period-9-2024-2043-which-from-shih-shen/
Period 9 is of Fire element and relates to the 'Eyes' . Fire industries include the internet, Information technology, Artificial intelligence(AI), energy, art & culture, tourism related industry, media & entertainment (using the sight), beauty related services, content marketing. We already see the technology trends mentioned by Gartner and Forrester such as AI, Blockchian, Virtual reality etc. Companies that are Digital transformed will do well with digital engagement tools. Any brick and mortar industry not related to Fire industry can still do well if it adopts elements of 'Fire' element like digitalisation or change their business models to digital engagement with customers.
For comparison purposes, period 8 (2004-2023) is associated with Kan (or Ken) trigram, the earth element, and symbolizes young men. The young men symbolization can be seen in the prominence during this period of people like Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. Earth element is also associated with real estate industry.
I'm not extremely well-versed in this topic, but I enjoy reading about it. However, it is difficult to find good information in English. I also find parallels between western astrology and feng shui even though they come from completely different origins.
One of the examples is from this blog post, which hypothesizes that the official dates for the feng shui periods might be off by a few years because historically, 20-year feng shui cycles typically line up with Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions and Period 9 may have officially started December 21 2020 rather than the anticipated 2024 timeframe because 20-year periods were approximations rather than exact timing. https://www.masterseanchan.com/blog/when-feng-shui-period-nine-starts-why-every-feng-shui-master-is-wrong/
Jupiter is in Aries for the first time in 11 years. Jupiter is the planet of luck, abundance and expansion. Jupiter moved into Aries on May 10 and will remain there until October 28.
So for any fellow Arians out there, this period should be a really important period for you.
I know that Coyote was a fellow Arian here, but I am not sure how many others are on here.
Anyway, just thought I would let you know if you didn't know already.
We're 1 degree away from the next pass of Pluto over the US natal Pluto on July 13. So we'll be feeling the influence of the planet ever more strongly until then (themes of death, rebirth, transformation, power, control, bringing to light that which is buried, etc.).
After July 13, the next peaks of Pluto on the US chart will be in December 2022 and October 2023.
We're in the very thick of it now. I keep reminding myself that this Pluto Return heralds the birth of something new, but the pain of it can be crushing, as it is today.
@lovendures @theungamer
This is the second pass of Pluto over the US Pluto. The first one was in February, the next one is in July and then there will be two more passes, in December 2022 and October 2023. We'll feel the current energies wane a bit by mid-August, when the July pass finishes, but they'll be back again in November.
The first passes of any difficult transit usually are the most challenging ones. They expose what we have neglected, how we may have lied to ourselves, or gone against our better nature. With Pluto, the Scorpionic planet, these first passes can feel existential, with things revealed that feel nihilistic and destructive, a true dark night of the soul.
But Pluto doesn't expose these things for no reason. It's for the individual (or in this case the country) to see the full depth and breadth of the problem, so that they can fully understand the trauma and begin to take action to cleanse and heal it.
Since we're only in the second pass of Pluto, I believe we're still in the uncovering phase, forced to look at the most painful parts of our national nature: the violence and abuse used to exert control over life and death, the arrogation of power to a few, and the toxic effects of the annihilation of the native peoples who were here before the Europeans arrived and the subjugation of slaves.
Pluto presents an opportunity to make great and lasting changes, but it requires every last resource that the person (or country) has at their disposal to do so. Pluto doesn't put up with half-commitments.
We will get through this and come out the other side a better, wiser, fairer, and more just country. But we have a lot of work to do at many levels before we arrive there.

I see it like the lancing of a nasty infection: It's really gross when all the icky stuff comes out but healing cannot happen otherwise.
A discussion popped up a few days ago on the Midterm Elections thread about the astrology of Election Day (Nov. 8), but I thought it might make sense to continue it here.
I realized that the Uranus-North Node-Mars conjunction that takes place on Aug. 1 is at 18 degrees Taurus, the very same degree of the lunar eclipse on Election Day.
Uranus, as I mentioned in the other thread, is change energy. Disruptions, awakenings, sudden insights that strike like lightning. The North Node points us in the direction we need to go in order to grow. Mars will also be there, heightening the energy.
So I'll be keeping an eye out for events or themes that emerge leading up to or on Aug. 1 as clues for what might come back again on Election Day.
So we have two more close encounters with Pluto in December 2022 and October 2023?
I can guess what December 2022 will be related to. Probably some sort of revelation with the 2022 midterms. Probably proof of Republican cheating if they win that comes to light or, more than likely, the Republicans challenge the election results because Democrats do better than expected because they can't fathom why they lost (Uh, Roe v. Wade and the fact that women don't want to become Handmaids, maybe?)
As to October 2023? Who knows? Maybe that is when someone finally files charges against Trump? That will be a full year of Trump being on the rampage. Or maybe proof comes out that finally breaks Trump and the Republican party once and for all (As if that will happen, but a girl can dream!). If it is, it will probably be something related to Roe v. Wade (probably proof involving Trump and Epstein, or evidence of Trump or Republicans paying for their mistresses paying for abortions, etc.)
I actually feel pretty upbeat right now. Yes, Pluto reveals the worst, but that is a good thing. Eventually, the ones causing these problems will go away, and the bad things they did will be so repugnant to future generations that they will reject anything and everything Trumplican related. So while the majority of the nation is against Republicans concerning Roe v. Wade (let's hope it translates to votes), many people will also reject anything Republican related, such as climate change denialism, right wing Christian Taliban leaning (not abortion per se, but the basic thinking that men are the masters and women must obey them and therefore can't preach, take leadership positions, etc.), protecting the rich from paying taxes, etc.
If there is a backlash against Republicans in the 2022 midterms where they don't win as many seats as they think they will, then they may finally, finally, FINALLY stop supporting Trump, which will allow Trump to be indicted. Trump, being Trump, won't tolerate this and will take over the Republican nomination (thus driving millions of independents to the Democrats because abortion and women's rights will be a major uniting force by that point). If he fails that, he will run as a third party candidate, and the entire country will be blue because Republicans will be so divided. Yes, there will be chaos and violence, but so what? By then, Biden will still be President on January 6, 2025 (regardless of whether he is re-elected or if another Democrat takes his place), so if Trumplicans try to pull another terrorist attack on the capital, Biden can always call in the national guard and haul these terrorists to prison where they belong!
Sometimes you have to hold the filth up to the light before you can wash it away. Everyone thought Boris Johnson would last forever, but eventually even his own party got tired of him. Yes, I know that he wants to try to stay a few months more until another PM is elected, but that doesn't matter as much as the fact that another entitled man who thinks that women are toys for his enjoyment and that the law and rules don't apply to him are finally being humbled, even if it is just a little. In the future, the fall of people like Johnson and Trump will look like an obvious outcome to those studying history, but to us who live it, nothing feels certain until it suddenly happens.
Does anyone know of any event that may occur on or around October 2023 that may give us a clue as to what Pluto's return will bring? I checked to see if there were any conventions or other events that could give us a clue, but having found nothing, I am going with the assumption that it will be Trump or Republican related considering how close it is to the primary season for 2024.
That North Carolina case that SCOTUS has agreed to look at concerning states getting to choose the winner vs the voters....everything I've read suggests that will affect the 2024 election...but what's to stop them from taking it up as soon as they come back this fall....right before the 2022 election?
Would they really let us have one more chance to vote them out? Not if they can help it.
And yes...I also feel like we haven't heard the last of Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh I wonder if the stasis feeling I have had for the last few years will finally fade and such upon the turning of the astrological signs. I'm an Aquarius, though I don't know if that helps or hinders. hehe
Its super interesting how this might lead to changes to self and others and the world.

What were people's experiences of the Uranus-North Node-Mars conjunction that peaked yesterday? We'll still feel it until about this Thursday.
I got the impression that more and more people are awakening to the realities of climate change, and wanting to take action about it. The new bill introduced in Congress by Manchin and Schumer is in sync with this awakening. It is one step in a long journey, but it will help accelerate the pace of change in the US and the world.
For the first time, I'm feeling hope about mitigating climate change, precisely because more people are waking up to it. I haven't felt this about the climate in a long time.
Tomorrow (election day) at 6:05 EDT there will be a total "blood moon" lunar eclipse with the Moon at 16 degrees Taurus and the Sun at 16 degrees Scorpio. This is supposed to be a big deal, esp. with the election, and like all eclipses, is said to portend changes. (The effect on the election has been discussed in some posts made here by others.)
I know enough about natal chart astrology to do a some superficial interpretations, but I get a little lost on the effects of transiting planets, eclipses, etc. I do know that if the Sun/Moon eclipse positions are conjunct or square to a person's natal planets, that person should feel effects more than people whose planets do not form significant aspects to the eclipse elements.
One of my exes has a birthday today. I sent him email greetings, and realized that his Sun is smack on the eclipse's Sun position. Then I realized that a close friend will have his Sun squaring the Moon and Sun tomorrow (orb= zero degrees). So --wow. I tried to find more info about eclipses squaring the natal Sun but couldn't find anything specific about the square aspect. I was hoping someone better versed than I could tell me what these people are in for with the eclipse, in case they need support.
Some of you may know that we are currently under a Mars retrograde in Gemini. Although the actual retrograde period will end on January 13, we will be under the shadow of it until mid-March when it will again reach the degree on which it made its retrograde station. Mars is primarily the planet of war and aggression, but "war" doesn't have to mean traditional soldiers and armies; it can also be any form of powerful action, force, or movement. Gemini is communications, so the aggression we began to see communications last month (before the retrograde) - particularly in social media (I'm looking at you Twitter!) - could very well be reversed as Mr. Musk discovers that there are consequences to his actions. A lawsuit has been filed by former twitter employees to force Mr. Musk to honor the original terms of their contracts, which he has attempted to ignore and/or pretend that he has the authority to change. The lawsuit is likely to be successful because the terms are laid out very clearly in the employment contracts and cannot be altered capriciously. His attempts to force people into accepting extra-contractual terms will end up costing quite a bit both to pay the actual termination benefits as well as litigating the issue once the retrograde is over
Mars made it's retrograde station on October 30, a week before the election. The results of the election were well in line with a Mars retrograde, given that the much-touted "red wave" completely lost its momentum and failed miserably. The fact that the retrograde continues through the beginning of the new Congressional session to begin on January 3 tells me that much of what the R's want to do will be severely hampered by lack of force and direction, meaning that whatever things they attempt to do will either be non-starters or will peter out and disappear quietly for lack of support/energy as some House R's break ranks and the MAGA crowd begins to be more fractured and isolated.
While the J6 committee will end, they will be submitting criminal referrals to the DOJ. The DOJ will continue to work quietly in the background over the next two months, conserving energy and collecting more information. I believe we will start to see more action on that front beginning around the first of February as Mars gathers and focuses its energy again. Around the middle of March (which I think I said in another post somewhere on here) Mars will leave the shadow of the retrograde conjunct TFG's Sun, so I would expect much more direct pressure on him, culminating in indictments likely toward the end of May. More information and final charges for him and his Congressional minions are likely to be developed over the next three months, as well as for some of the sitting members of Congress, although some of that will unfortunately be left by the wayside.
That being said, these are really only examples of the many things we're seeing in the public sphere where attempts at seemingly calculated moves are likely going to fail outright or be detrimental enough that they will be reversed after the retrograde. On a more personal level, what we are experiencing in our lives is a sense of flailing around without a point, feeling confused, off-course, and generally out of sorts. Our energies seem misdirected and without a target right now. Because the retrograde is occurring in Gemini, we should perhaps expect issues similar to a regular Mercury retrograde (see my next post! 🤣 ), i.e., communications breakdowns, misunderstandings, incomplete information, etc. That will get better after the direct station in January, but for the moment, the best we can do is to accept that things we're trying to do may be derailed due to insufficient or wrongly-targeted energy and simply relax for a bit to rebuild our energy stores. Enjoy the holidays and do your best to avoid as much conflict as possible.
