Thank. Holy. Fuck.
If any of you find yourselves farting rainbows of joy without knowing the reason, it’s most probably because the collective is celebrating the final ingress of Pluto into Aquarius that will last us some 20 years. It’s a palpable energy that you can feel without being able to comprehend fully. But trust me, this is a new and exciting paradigm: a shift so magical and unavoidable you can’t help but feel electrified. Very, very scared but also very, very electrified.
Buckle up and get ready for things to go off-kilter. Let’s start this mthrfkr, shall we?
In my last blog, I talk about the final stand of Pluto in Capricorn and why we should all be oh-so-happy it is never happening ever again in our lifetime. Today however, I wanna yap on why Pluto in Aquarius is a huge ass thing. It’s huge. Huuuge.
And in order to understand that, we have to take a brief look at how different the Capricorn energy is compared to Aquarius. Yes, they are both ruled by Saturn. Yes, they are both wintery. But there is something off the cuff about Aquarius that is hard to ignore. It’s the teetering off the edge anti-hero non-conformist that we can’t avert our gaze from and who we drop our panties for.
While Capricorn has the intensity and discipline of a Dark Father (read last blog, seriously), Aquarius is almost reckless in its desire to go forth where no man has ever been. Natives with strong Aquarian energy are smart, innovative and inventive. They are visionaries, outcasts and rebels.
Pluto is a volcanic and transformative energy that puts pressure on us to dig deep and uncover parts of ourselves that need epic revolutions. Pluto is power. Obsession. Control. But it also is our fall. Our vomit. And eventually, our growth.
The last 16 years of Pluto in Capricorn brought us to our knees. We were weakened by capitalism, patriarchy and a desire for more. We were blinded by power, status and wealth. However, Pluto in Capricorn also taught us to fight for the voiceless, the women, the 1%. It taught us to be brave, to go against the grain, to disrupt status quo.
As we now have permanently left Pluto in Capricorn behind, we can take a look at the mess it has left in its wake. Donald Trump is back in power (let’s not pretend the other candidate was better), genocide is still happening in many parts of the world, mass suicides are taking place as a solution against rape…but some things are changing. More and more countries are taking a stand against Israel. The ICC is looking deeper into former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Death Squad” on his “War Against Drugs”. More and more women (and men) are speaking out against sexual violence and modern day slavery.
Capricorn held us back. Capricorn made us lie in wait. But with the dynamic Pluto finally staying in Aquarius for the long term, I am eager to learn what upheavals will shake us to our core so vigorously that it will actually transform us.
In order to “predict” what is to come in the next 20 years, we need to look at the last time Pluto was in Aquarius. And yes, it was back in the 1700s. THE 1700s. Do you know how fucking long ago that was???!?!???!?!
Pluto’s orbit doesn’t adhere to the regular rules and does what it wants, hence TWO WHOLE CENTURIES have passed before it’s fabulous return. But I digress. So here are some highlights from that era:
Pluto in Aquarius: 1777-1798
- American Independence (1775-1783)
– taxation without representation - Discovery of Uranus (1781)
– the modern astrologer’s ruler for Aquarius - Peak of Mozart’s Musical Genius (1784-1787)
- French Revolution (1789)
– “let them eat cake” = “off with her head” - Industrial Revolution (late 1700s to early 1800s)
- Ratification of the US Constitution
- Rise of Political and Social Ideas (late 1700s)
– enlightenment and radical politics - Beginning of Abolitionist Movements
– freedom and human rights
– “end of slavery” (honestly, it just evolved to something else – but that’s another discussion)
These are not some minor feats. These are large scale mutations and turbulences – with some being grotesquely gruesome and others being not enough. But we have to remind ourselves that it is not 1777. It is 2024. In just over a month, it will be 2025 and some major ASS-KICKING is going to take place then.
Major Planetary Shifts in 2025:
- Neptune ingress into Aries (March 2025-2039)
- Saturn ingress into Aries (May 2025-2028)
- Jupiter ingress into Cancer (June 2025-2026)
- Uranus ingress into Gemini (July 7, 2025-2033)
Slower moving planets entering a new sign is a MAJOR SHIFT. These are much rarer and much more powerful than faster moving planets like Mercury and Venus zipping thru signs like they’re on a speed dating event. So with Pluto kicking things off this November 19th (20th for Philippines) and the domino effect from the other outer planets in 2025, we are reminded we are NOT in the past. We have support from the CHAOS MAGIC that will cellularly be a part of the air we breathe in the next few years to instigate, create, ignite REVOLUTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE. FOR THE MASSES.
For you and me.
Right. Before you guys lose your shit, it’s best to prepare ourselves for the beautiful madness that is to come before us. So what exactly can we get out of Pluto in Aquarius? While I’ll give you the briefest reading later using your rising sign, let’s first talk about it on a bigger scale.
Advancement in Technology
Who the eff knows. What if flying cars actually become a thing? Driverless ride sharing? What if we do go to Mars??? Honestly, it’ll be fun to just send a bunch of morons there instead of dealing with them here on planet Earth.
Will biohacking be more commonplace? Will the general public be able to have access to technology that can detect cancer and other diseases years before they happen? Will aging be a thing of the past? (Not that aging should be a thing of the past)
How will we transform how we currently use energy?
What about data? How much more will social media transform? What will content be like in 20 years?
Will falling in line still be a thing? Will anyone still have the need to go out?
Breaking the Illusion between Humanity and AI
Who remembers Snapchat and its dog filters? Back then it was revolutionary. Nowadays, it’s basic. Fake news and being disingenuous is a pandemic of its own kind, with deep fakes and natural-looking filters. So honestly, who the eff knows what else is coming?
What about AI relationships??? With Artificial Intelligence becoming more and more human-like, are we doomed to replace human interaction for something quicker, faster and programmed to be there for us for as long as the battery is charged?
Continued Power Struggles in Social Structures
Power struggles will forever be a part of the human psyche, but I am hoping we can rely more and more on freedom and breakdowns from old systems that are detrimental to the common good. Perhaps monopolies and dynasties will start crumbling. Perhaps we will start fitting in and start seeing ourselves as part of a community – helping ourselves and others grow thru a more sustainable vision.
There is something so refreshing about Pluto in Aquarius that makes many people believe that Collective Activism is going to be more prevalent. No longer will our ideologies be deemed radical and extreme. Maybe, just maybe, the common good will have a voice. Will have a face. Will have air time on regular news programs.
There is reason to hope.
All right, y’allz. Lez do deez. First things first, I use:
- The Wholesign House system
- Hellenistic astrology
- Rising Sign is the primary
- If you have strong Sun or Moon signs (2 or more planets in that sign), then this too will resonate but will only be SECONDARY. The Rising Sign is still the first thing you look at, and honestly…it’s the only thing I look at. So please, for the love of GOD, don’t make me kick you in the nutsack.
So before you read the next part and you have no idea what your rising sign is, go to any free astrology site (astro.com, astroseek…etc.), fill in the details (your precise birth time is necessary), choose WHOLESIGN HOUSE SYSTEM, and whatever the first house is will be your rising sign. You can also do this using apps like The Pattern or Chani (which already uses the Wholesign house system by default). Only then can you proceed.
(waits for y’all to do what i ask)
Also, if you are lazy as fuck and don’t wanna do any of this, you can always DM me for a session. Just sayin’.
Quick reminder: these are generalized readings simply based on the rising sign. I do not know your personal chart, I do not know what planets you have in which houses and signs and I do not know what aspects are being made. This is very, very generalized. Let’s go!!!
Pluto in Aquarius for the Rising Signs:
ARIES RISINGS
Pluto just left your 10th house of career and reputation and it’s very possible you have been feeling the heavy weight of toxic masculinity and corporate power leaving your body. You are also learning what it means to “let go of home”, as perhaps, it has held you back for so long.
Pluto is now in the 11th house of Aquarius where you will start aligning more with what benefits you. You might make new friends, find more support, grow a sense of community or even a fan base.
You are used to doing everything alone but very possibly, you will learn the beauty of cooperation and camaraderie in the next 20 years. The 11th house can sometimes signify social media, so if this is your line of work, expect more activity in that area of your life as well.
Use your creativity to unleash the potent energy, especially until Mid 2025. Write, sing, dance, create! Make magic! Be tantric! Release the Kraken!
TAURUS RISINGS
With Pluto having stayed in your 9th Capricorn house for 16 years of your life, you probably went through a lot of changes with regards to your values, lessons in life, your thoughts on religion or philosophy…it’s very possible you dabbled in astrology or some form of self help.
But with Pluto now entering your 10th house of career and reputation, expect the next 20 years to be BUSY BUSY BUSY in terms of your work and sense of purpose – especially if your sun sign is also Aquarius.
From now until June of 2025, expect a lot of pushback from family or home with regards to what you want to do with your life. My advice? Do what your body wants. If you succeed, fabulous! If you fail, pick up the pieces and learn the lesson. No one is right or wrong. Since April of 2024, you have been activated with the Jupiter-Uranus energy that is making you question how important YOUR desires and needs actually are and if they are being met. Trust your gut. Focus on you.
GEMINI RISINGS
Well well well. You got Jupiter in your first house until June of 2025. This is probably helping ease the mthrfckn pain of having Pluto in your 8th house. Some of you may have been in the red with debt. Maybe you grieved from the loss of a loved one. Perhaps you had an Ego Death and are learning to stand up again after seeing the light.
Pluto is now in your 9th Aquarius house, and you know what? THANK FUCK. What a beautiful energy. Don’t get me wrong, you will continue to go through shakedowns. But this time, you are so much wiser and stronger. You’re going to re-think your stances on religion, philosophy – or whatever was pushed down your throat your entire life.
You might want a complete do over and go back to school. Get your PHD. Relocate to a far away country. Quit your job and become a cult leader or guru.
I’m excited for you guys. Keep pushing the boundaries.
CANCER RISINGS
There’s a lot going on in your space right now. With Mars in it’s LONG ASS cycle (including retrograde) that is currently in your first house, the end of 2024-mid 2025 might make you feel like turning into the Hulk. Plus, Pluto being in the house of the “other” (7th house) since 2008, it’s just been BAH. Your relationship/s with your partner (romantic, client, business partner…etc) might have been through the fire.
However, The Wheel of Fortune continues to turn. Although slow moving, you will start owning your power. You will begin to see that all that crap was actually necessary in order to figure the mess out. How you view life and how you react to it will experience an apocalyptic transition and you will come out of it all a different human being.
Be careful not to be greedy. Windfalls of money might be in the cards, but so is debt and destruction if one is not careful. How you earn a living or receive money may also greatly change.
LEO RISINGS
Olrayt, y’all. If you’ve been undergoing a lot of shitty transits from way back in 2008 concerning your health, daily grind shit that exhausts the living daylights out of you, work shit, subordinate shit, even difficult stuff relating to your pets… expect a HALLELUJAH!!! Hopefully you’ve learned all that you were supposed to learn because we are now transitioning the power play into a completely new area of your life: YOUR RELATIONSHIPS.
If your partners complain of you being…well…cold-hearted and stoic, maybe it’s time to listen and soften a bit. Or perhaps you are in a relationship that is as dead as that tilapia on your cutting board and you need an OUT. Well, here it is: your out.
Expect obsessive-possessive cycles to play out (especially if you have any natal Pluto-Venus squares, oppositions or conjunctions in your chart). Maybe you are too critical of your partner. Maybe you’re in a domestic violence circumstance.
Whether you are Hades and need to learn to put your fist down or Persephone needing to learn that there is more to you than you think, the karmic lesson here is to understand the true meaning of power and how it doesn’t have to involve another human being.
Alternatively, this could be good for your business partnerships, one-on-one client relationships or just basically learning to find your voice in dealing with people. You are training to balance your own individuality and your co-existence with others. This will be beneficial for the rest of your life.
VIRGO RISINGS
Pluto is leaving your 5th house where Venus finds her joy and is now moving into your 6th house. You were able to use Pluto in Capricorn to hone your creative skills and become the master of your craft. It’s also possible you had difficult relationship dynamics with your children or had difficulty letting them go (flying the nest, going off to college, getting married, etc). If you are a parent, maybe expenses were through the roof because of the high cost of education, extra-curricular activities or whatnot.
This time around, the focus will be on YOU, your daily routine and your HEALTH. Now is a good time to purge all the dirty dirty toxins from your body. Stop eating crap. Stop procrastinating. Build your muscles and focus on strength training. Take a stand now and change for the better before Pluto kicks you in the ass and forces you to make lifestyle modifications. We don’t want an unnecessary trip to the hospital to be your wake up call.
If you have pets, make sure to take them to the vet for their yearly check-ups. Better to be safe than sorry!
And if you own your own businesses, this will probably be the time to channel your inner Buddha. Subordinates will test your temper. Know how to handle this better! If you are aware of all the possibilities now, then you can proceed with less difficulty and be the coolest dude on the effin’ planet.
LIBRA RISINGS
You might have felt a lot of pressure from home (or whatever you consider home) from 2008, but you are now embarking on a new journey where you feel you have a new outlet to release imprisonment, hone your creativity, and simply be yourself. There will be an emphasis on things that give you JOY.
With Pluto entering your 5th house and opposing your 11th, expect a rollercoaster with regards to friendships and alliances but they are essential to your journey.
If you want to have children, this is a potent energy in your chart. It will still depend a lot on your planetary placements, but the theme of pregnancies is very strong here. So whether you want kids or not, you’ll have to make the necessary adjustments.
If you already are a parent, perhaps your kids are now flying the nest or going off to college. Maybe those who are away will come back. Maybe there will be disruptions at home or your relationship with them. In any case, remember to put yourself in their shoes too. A different perspective might help. In the end, we all have to let our loved ones go. Let them do their thing and live their lives. Now it’s your turn to live yours. Find a new “baby” and use that energy on a new artistic project.
SCORPIO RISINGS
The last 16 years of your life might have had a rollercoaster push and pull energy between you and your siblings/extended family. Or perhaps you got into a lot of trouble with your community and it just felt like you were in the wrong place all the time.
Now with Pluto entering your 4th house, there will be a huge shift with regards to what you consider to be HOME. A lot of childhood memories might come up that will help heal old wounds you didn’t even know you still carried. Perhaps if you live abroad, you might want to return home. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s time to let your parents go and learn to reparent yourself.
Embrace your past, but learn to detach. Your traumas surely have shaped who you are today, but you have a choice to outgrow them.
Pour your newfound energy into doing something you always wanted to do – not what was expected of you. Traditionally, the 4th house is also a place of mystery and the occult. You might have a newfound passion in mediumship and other “darker” topics. Or, you might start getting into genealogy, ancestry and the like…and turn this into a new career!
Good luck and have fun!!!
SAGITTARIUS RISINGS
All right Sags, Pluto will be in your 3rd Gemini house. This can bring a lot of changes in your relationships with siblings and extended family, with the possibility of power struggles – and/or finding your voice. Then again, it might bring you closer if you are estranged.
A shift in communication style, living environment/community, possibility of more travels and the desire to go back to school are possible. There is a strong sense of digging deep into things you took for granted in the past. You might want to start a dream journal or blog, study a new divination tool like Tarot or Runes, or simply reconnect with old friends and classmates from your younger years. Very possibly, you might start questioning your long held values and start a new chapter with a different philosophy.
In the next 20 years, you might find yourself moving to different locations, locally or even internationally. With Uranus entering your 7th house next July, it’s quite possible your relationship styles also change. Everything you thought you knew about love and romance will cease to exist and you will be left breathless. In a good way. I hope. Lol.
Expect things to continue being uncomfortable until the end of April 2025. But it is in discomfort that you will find your truths. Additionally, you will feel freedom from financial constraints that might have plagued you since 2008. Woohoo, high five y’all!
CAPRICORN RISINGS
My God, I feel for you guys. It’s like you need to take a 20 year vacation to the Maldives or take a rocket ship to another dimension. Over the last 16 years, you have been beaten, battered, stepped on and abused (I’m not just talking physically, but also emotionally…etc), but you also have spoken out and stood up again and again and found ways to regain your strength…or…you were the villains. Bahahaha! In any case, it’s been an uphill battle but lest you forget, you are majestic sea-goats and you can withstand anything.
Pluto now enters your 2nd house and you are likely to expect changes in how you use your money, spend your money and earn your money. If you’ve got benefic planets (Venus and Jupiter) then maybe you’ll feel more settled and blessed – but don’t over indulge though (and I can mean that in terms of food, too).
But if you have malefic planets like Mars, then you’ll have to learn to adjust to the changes that will come. Live well, but still be cautious. Make sure you get your ducks in order, including your health. Eat well. Don’t overload on junk. Take care of your bones and muscles. Do strength training.
If you find yourself in a windfall from inheritance or the lottery, don’t get cocky and assume gambling at a casino is a wise idea.
But other than that, I want you to feel the weight off your shoulders and learn to enjoy the freedom of being able to be yourself. Wee!
AQUARIUS RISINGS
Well holy hell. Are you guys ready? Cuz this is gonna be one hell of a ride!
Pluto enters your RISING SIGN. This is a huge ass deal. You are going to go through EPIC TRANSFORMATIONS and the person you will be by the end of the 20 year cycle will be a completely different human being altogether.
You might want to get plastic surgery or change your hair color…or shave it all off for that matter! You might have a sudden desire to make a 180° turn on your personality. If you are a people pleaser, you’re gonna switch and decide to focus on yourself for once and tell everybody else to go fuck themselves. If you’ve been hiding under a rock, you might want to come out of it and find your inner flamboyant peacock!
You’re going to zone in on the “who am I” vs “who do they want me to be” element of your life. Since 2008, you’ve been in this 50% cocoon 50% shedding off skin cycle in your life. For the most part, you played nice. You were Switzerland. You didn’t ruffle any feathers. But starting January of 2024, hints of an inner exorcism have been manifesting and there’s no turning around at this point.
Honestly, I’m so fucking excited for your journey.
PISCES RISINGS
Well. You guys are going through major sheenanigans at the moment with Saturn and Neptune in your rising sign, PLUS the Pisces-Virgo eclipse cycle just began last September and will culminate by 2026. It’s a LOT. It’s almost like you’ve been feeling restrained, a ball and chain bound to your feet. A lot of you may have been re-evaluating who you are as people, as children, as parents…re-evaluating what home means – especially in the last year.
Focusing on Pluto though, there may have been a lot of transitions with those you considered your allies, friends and benefactors. Maybe the dynamics have changed, maybe you simply outgrew each other. But it seems like a lot of you may be tired of the daily grind of life. A lot of you might start to see yourselves just living off-grid, away from the high pressured reality that most people live these days. Some of you may no longer have the desire to keep up with the Joneses (or the Kardashians – whatever floats your boat).
Some of you may want to focus on your mental well-being, making time for solitude and retreats, being the outcast, and indulging in the beauty of no longer giving a fuck. That being said, it’s also a good time to focus on your PHYSICAL health. Work life balance is key, power plays are no longer of interest. It’s time to rest.
BTW…none of you are planning on having large animals such as an elephant be your pet, right? Just sayin.
Ok ya, we good? Again, all these are basic generalizations based on a rising sign. It will all still depend on your chart. DM me if you want a more precise reading, cuz dude, that ain’t for free.
To end this, I must reiterate that all this will take years to fully manifest. But we can feel the energy now. We can sense shifts now. But if I could give one piece of advice for the collective, it is to be brave. To have courage. To not be afraid to be different from what has been deemed correct and cohesive.
We are at the cusp of a new paradigm where all it takes is ONE PERSON to make a stand. Sooner or later, more and more will follow until we become the majority. Life is scary, but you know what? We’ll be all right.
Happy Pluto in Aquarius guyz!
cool as ever,
