‘It seems to me that one of the most important functions of astrology is to keep the populace informed far in advance of what future conditions will be like. Such information should be set forth as a warning of a certain type of stormy or fine weather which will prevail during a given period.’ Elbert Benjamine.
On November 19, 2024 Pluto aka the dark satellite and the god of the underworld moved to Aquarius and from then till January 2044 its twenty-year transit of the sign of humanity, human rights and altruistic endeavor marks for a critical stage in humanity’s story.
Aquarius is the sign of humanitarianism, aka the promotion of freedom, civil liberties and human welfare, and its extraordinary knowledge has provided humanity with personal truths and instruction on best practice living.
Aquarius defines a new, unprecedented global reality where political, social, economic and educational transformations travel a socially progressive course directed by the planets.
Uranus and its liberal, reform agenda is slowly overturning Saturn’s traditional, conventional ways of thinking, but Pluto’s inclination to divide has created a drastic global situation with two conflicting ideologies – Higher-Pluto’s altruistic, cooperative participation and Lower-Pluto’s self-serving, coercive control – vying for supremacy.
Pluto’s transit of Aquarius – in the Pluto period of the Aquarian Age – warns of a prolonged period of turmoil with groups, cooperation, coercion, division, disagreement and disinformation defining humanity’s story.
Humanity is confronted by two political and knowledge pathways. One is signed democratic freedom, cooperative effort, evidence-based facts, truth and enlightenment and the other authoritarian control, compulsion, constraint, disinformation, atheistic materialism and ignorance.
Humanity has a choice, but if coercion, tyranny, selfishness, disinformation and atheistic materialism prevail the consequences will be devastating. It’s the road to ruin.
November 2024
When Pluto commenced its transit of Aquarius in November 2024 humanity was facing major problems, aka overwhelming challenges, and in some instances solutions were impossible to comprehend. But fixing them would require international cooperation.
In 2024 over 8 billion human souls were living lives guided by traditional old age knowledge, contemporary new age knowledge, scientific – evidence-based – knowledge, ridiculous knowledge, fake knowledge and abstruse knowledge that was beyond the comprehension of mere mortals.
In 2024 liberal democracy was on shaky ground; planet Earth was a security risk; the public discourse was disrespectful and toxic; decency standards were eroding; social media and its associated technologies were all the rage; millions of people were living in a digital world; millions were conversing with chatbots; millions were living nightmare lives; and millions were on the move trying to escape violence and economic hardship hoping to find a better future for themselves and their families.
In 2024 the AI age was coming and machines were thinking more and people were thinking less – if at all. A clash between human and artificial intelligence seemed inevitable. But human, not artificial, intelligence was in charge of the show so all the dire forecasts about AI could only eventuate if human soul-intelligence gave them the go ahead.
In 2024 new age biological science explained its materialistic worldview of life as living matter activated by DNA and genes; and orthodox religion explained its spiritual worldview as God created souls activated by love and virtue; and both refused to investigate or explore any phenomena that challenged its particular worldview.
In 2024 new age science boasted about its technology and innovative power claiming that in the coming years it would be able to design and construct any cell, organism, or any biological species it wanted, with a growing selection of genomes.
In 2024 biological science entertained the idea of changing ourselves as a species by developing the ability to turn gene and gene expression on and off based on our needs to breathe underwater; and it reckoned it was close to creating living things – other species of humans that may have altogether different genomes, physiology and traits.
In 2024 neuroscience was certain that brain intelligence would ultimately determine humanity’s future; and new age saviors saw colonizing Mars as a way of saving humanity from an unsavable planet Earth.
Higher and Lower-Pluto
Higher-Pluto is all about groups, cooperation, collaborative effort, unity, teamwork, inclusion, humanitarian values, altruistic endeavor, transparency and noble human souls whose incorruptible spirituality is dedicated to universal welfare.
It’s committed to making the world a better place and it benefits society by contributing to the welfare of others. It’s all about respect, tolerance, consideration, unselfish service and devotion and its spirit of cooperation always considers the wants and needs of others.
The Higher-Pluto group recognizes that life is a team sport and successful living requires teamwork. It practices inclusive collaboration, cooperative effort, openness, clarity, inventiveness and innovation and recognizes that diversity means that everyone has something useful to offer society.
Lower-Pluto stands for coercion, division, disunity, intimidation, threats, repression, disinformation and morally bankrupt human souls whose corruptible humanity and selfishness is dedicated to dictatorial control, wicked evil, ruthless force, crime, greed, hate and terror.
It’s a cesspool of putrid thoughts – a mind-state that’s completely lacking in moral principles – and it’s brilliantly manipulative and spiritually bankrupt. Its chief business is producing despair and misery and it knows that the mental torture inflicts more damage on the soul than the physical wounds and injuries.
Lower Pluto is a predator that hunts in groups. It’s into special privilege, special interest groups, crime networks and the chosen few and it’s the real enemy driving fear, intolerance, disrespect, racism, hate and atheism.
Lower-Pluto is intent on keeping humanity in the dark. It disseminates lies, fake news and disinformation; envisions a world where future generations live with false knowledge; and when it looks in the mirror it sees an angel.
Pluto transits Aquarius
Pluto’s transit of Aquarius is about democracy – rule by the people – and freedom, free and fair elections, political tolerance and justice; and dictatorship – rule by a supreme leader or group of leaders – and coercive control, repression, intimidation, obedience and the ruthless silencing dissent.
It’s about cooperation between nation states; disunity; gaining, maintaining and protecting human rights; dangerous ideas; dangerous ignorance and the deliberate and systematic brutalization of the human soul by terror, dread, duress, death threats and intimidation.
It puts democracy in jeopardy and forecasts attempts to erode, wind back or repress human rights.
Pluto’s transit of Aquarius is about the way humans treat each other and the danger that humanity could lose its humanity as selfishness and insensitivity cancel feelings of sympathy, compassion and empathy. It highlights the perils of detachment and indifference.
Pluto’s transit of Aquarius is about our understanding of life and its function and purpose; and our relationship with technology, genetic engineering, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and quantum physics.
It warns of the prolific spread of propaganda, disinformation, misinformation and deepfakes by vested interests, special interest groups and social media with crucial political and religious truths buried under a pile of lies, deceptions and fake news.
Change is the anthem of the universe and as Pluto transits Aquarius humanity needs spiritual giants to navigate our fast changing world – not corrupt, money grabbing politicians or self-serving thinking machines.
And with around 140 million babies born every year it’s estimated that during Pluto’s transit of Aquarius there will be 2.8 billion human souls born whose characters, intelligence and ability feature Pluto in Aquarius.
And contrary to fake doomsday reports the world is not going to end. Hermetic tradition teaches that the battle being fought between the forces of light and the forces of darkness – Armageddon if you like – will be won by those fighting for freedom, truth and spiritual enlightenment and throughout Pluto’s transit of Aquarius the Earth will continue to orbit the Sun (at 67,000 miles [107,800 kilometers] per hour according to Aquarian Age scientific knowledge.)
In the distant past the Moon saw primitive people live in families and over time Pluto – its upper-octave – urged families to live together in groups. This had survival advantages and then, as time passed, small groups gradually developed into tribes, colonies and nation states. The next phase is all about one united world, one human family cooperating, and a collective future for humanity.
If you’re a thinking person a million questions are racing through your mind and in 2024 it’s impossible to imagine what the world will be like when the curtain comes down on Pluto’s transit of Aquarius in January 2044.
