PLUTO IN AQUARIUS: ADVANCING OUR REALITIES OF TIME AND SPACE

If you would prefer to listen, you can listen to the Pluto in Aquarius story here.

We are entering a new kind of world that Pluto in Aquarius is showing us. This new world will bring all kinds of advancement in the form of technology, bending time and space, and other worldly intelligence.

Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 digging deep into the structures and foundations that shape our world. Capricorn is the earth sign of Saturn dealing with our material reality. Aquarius is the air sign of Saturn, which deals with more of the mental structures that bind humanity.

Pluto dipped its toes into Aquarius in March 2023 giving us a taste of what the next 20 years might be like. Pluto enters Aquarius again on January 20th, 2024 and will be there for most of the year. Pluto will dip back into Capricorn one final time later in the year before officially entering Aquarius for good for twenty years. Pluto spends roughly 15-20 years in a sign, so this is an important shift. But, since it’s in one sign for a while, the changes it indicates will be gradual though you we can all expect to be hearing a lot more about the themes Pluto in Aquarius brings right away!

Aquarius is an air sign ruled by Saturn. Pluto is the God of the Underworld and represents depth, intensity, extremes, making small things big, power, and rebirth. Air signs have an association with the mind, ideas and the intellect. Air is also a connector and a network, so we’re looking at the ways we’re connected on a mental level.

Air also deals with space. All air signs are associated with the physical manifestations of air and space. Pluto in Aquarius will launch us deeper into space, technology, and learning. Saturn is associated with time, it is THE planet of time, and Saturn represents reality and what is real. Pluto in Aquarius will be showing us a different reality of what we thought we knew, especially in regards to time and space.

Of course, we’re talking about launching into space more, and we’re also talking about space in terms of "aliens" because space opens up the possibility of life outside of Earth. We've been hearing increasing talk about UFOs and extraterrestrials over recent years, and we will continue to in the years to come.

But, it won't just be talking about extraterrestrials and opening up the conversation more, there will likely be more contact with otherworldly beings in profound, undeniable ways that governments can no longer cover up. Some believe that these beings have been on Earth and in the oceans for millennia and have already been in contact with some of us. Whether you believe that there are other worldly beings living amongst us or not, you will definitely notice that the conversations about UFOs and extraterrestrial beings open up more.

There’s all kinds of theories about other worldly beings (I’m not an expert), but one common theory among Ufologists and those who have claimed to have had encounters with extraterrestrials is a focus on preserving the planet Earth and using it as a means for something else in the Universe. Also, many UFO sightings have been seen near nuclear power plant sites where immense danger lies. Some believe that extraterrestrial beings have been using UFOs to help us advance our technologies.

There are theories that extraterrestrials are operating at certain locations on Earth, like under volcanoes in Alaska and under sheets of ice in Antarctica, and that they are using the Earth’s natural resources that produce magnetic energy to bend time and space. This is apparently why several “Bermuda triangles” exist where people and planes disappear in certain areas.

There’s another theory that what we think of as “extraterrestrial beings” and UFOs is actually us, as humans, in the future using time travel to come back and help us. Again, I’m no expert on the matter, but it is a fascinating idea nonetheless, and Pluto in Aquarius will be opening up the conversation about bending space and time a lot more.

Pluto digs deep uncovering what has been hidden and brings the truth to the surface. We could see a big shift in perspective about what time really is and how our idea of it being linear is not the whole truth. Will we find portals into other worlds? Will humanity be introduced to time travel?

Obviously, there are a lot of different theories, and you may not believe in any of them. But, whether you believe that “aliens” exist and are with us or not, or whether we can time travel, the fact is that we will be hearing a lot more stories about UFOs, other worldly beings and manipulating time and space during Pluto’s stay in Aquarius. If there are other worldly beings living amongst us or our future selves are time traveling back, could they help us from the most dire situations that AI could produce?

AI, Power & Liberation

AI will be ramping up big time in ways that we cannot even imagine right now. With the emergence of AI and a new world, we have to learn how to navigate advanced technologies. There will be some powerful technological breakthroughs. Mercury is a triplicity ruler of Aquarius and Mercury is related to scientists as well as doctors and medical matters, so we can expect incredible breakthroughs in the medical realm, which could be quite positive.

Pluto also warns us of the fraught power dynamics underlying inventive technologies. The God of the Underworld is going to be digging deep into them, uncovering the muck, and offering us a rebirth. It will be important for us to have the right people in positions of power, something we’ve been trying to work on for a while now in various areas. Not just politicians, but the people designing the advanced technologies. What are their intentions?

When Pluto has been in Aquarius before, there have been revolutionary times - big intellectual and educational advances, and rebelling against authority and the dominant system. We will continue to see revolts against the establishment and incredible societal advances.

AI is also forcing us to learn more about humanity, how to preserve it, and what is of most importance. Pluto in Aquarius will be offering us greater opportunities for collective liberation, and since we’re more connected than ever, we’ll be able to band together creatively to further much needed social movements.

Saturn also represents oppression and those oppressed, so we can expect a continuation of Pluto bringing to the surface the muck societies have tried to keep buried. It’s time to build technological breakthroughs that actually support and serve all humans and our souls.

We DO have some power and agency in this fast-forward moving society. We are not powerless, and we can exercise our power to continue to liberate ourselves and each other from systems of oppression and harm. We can decide to connect with each other on a soul level and find refuge in the spirit realm.

A New Order

Astrologer, SJ Anderson says that Aquarius is “a sign that wants to implement a new order”. Saturn is all about structure and order, and the Aquarius side of Saturn (Capricorn is the other side) with Jupiter as a triplicity ruler, is more focused on the future vision and creating and building solid networks and connections that better support humanity.

A re-order and re-structure of our learning and education is also in order. Aquarius is associated with learning and the intellect, and we can see education becoming more decentralized and outside of physical facilities. Education and learning will be more "in the air", thus online where it can be more accessible to more people. Of course, AI will aid all of our learning and we will all be learning new technology over the next several decades. A new, de-centralized way of learning will reign havoc on the academic and outdated establishments, and the people who want to preserve them, especially those who reap the most profits from it. 

Saturn represents the establishment and the social outsider. Those who cling to the establishment will suffer the most because change is happening and the more one resists it, the harder it will be. Those who are interested in creating a new order will be inventing new systems through the network connecting more people and there will be more of a collaboration and co-creation of learning. 

Pluto in Aquarius will be asking us to take our society and civilization to a whole new level. 

Pluto represents power and power dynamics, so the power dynamics will be strong, and there will be a battle of those in power who want to control technology and inventions for their benefit as opposed to the benefit of humanity. There will be a struggle between those who want to preserve outdated establishments and those who have and will continue to move onto new ways of thinking, being and creating. 

In true Pluto fashion, things need to die in order to be reborn. May the oppressive power structures die so that we can birth a better system that serves the liberation of the most oppressed, which would result in the liberation for all.

What we can do is try to make the world a better place in our everyday lives. We have the power to liberate ourselves and each other from systemic oppression, to advocate for social justice and human rights, to design our systems and structures from an inclusive and equitable place, and to act from a place of love with healthy boundaries. 

"My hope emerges from those places of struggle where I witness individuals positively transforming their lives and the world around them."

It is my prayer to the Cosmos that we, as a human species, use technology ethically and for the betterment of all humans, and dismantle systems of oppression. I’m here for positive medical breakthroughs, banding together to unlearn systems of oppression, liberation for all, and connecting more with our soul’s nature.
