Some more thoughts for you to ponder:
-
The last time Pluto paid a visit to Aquarius, we were given the American and French Revolutions, along with their revolutionary codifications of the rights of humans.
-
The time before that, when Pluto wandered through Aquarius, we had the creation of the Church of England which was one of the major blows to the stranglehold that the Catholic Church had on European civilization. (This also led to one of the greatest redistributions of wealth since the Norman Conquest of 1066.) We also had, during this time, the Peace of Augsburg which allowed non-Catholics to love peaceably among Catholics, easing the tensions and bloodshed of the Reformation. Oh, and the first publication of a modern atlas, which was a really big deal since before that the atlases tended to indicate edges that we could sail off over and dragons beyond those edges.
-
This time, Pluto will be in and out of Aquarius for 20 years (one of the reasons why Pluto is considered by many to be a “generational” planet). What attitude will you like to adopt for yourself for those 20 years? One of fear, vulnerability and powerlessness (the “shadow” side of Pluto)? Or one of idealistic, expansive, inclusive expectations of the very best of humanity (the bright side of Aquarius)? We all get to choose.
(ETA: Apologies for the Euro-centric examples. It’s what they taught me in school.)
