Overall influence of Pluto moving from staid, conservative, structured, traditional Capricorn, to loose, wild, chaotic, networked, innovative Aquarius — well, what do YOU think it is? Remember, Pluto sets the wrecking ball to what ever sign it moves through. Death, to rebirth. Whatever is no longer useful, needs to go. In Capricorn Pluto has done an extraordinary job to ruin or deeply fracture the structures that have held socirty together since at least the last time Pluto moved through Capricorn in the late 18th century.

Remember too, that we have been undergoing the excruciating, first ever, Pluto Return to the U.S. chart, and are presently in grave danger of losing our Republic completely.

The point is, whatever zeitgeistian Pluto does in a particular sign, it takes a long time to do. Pluto began to travel through Capricorn in 2008. Remember that? The largest U.S. bank run ever took place in 2008.

And now, as Pluto begins its finale through Capricorn and shades today briefly into Aquarius, we have at least three (and likely many more) failed banks, two of them the second and third largest in U.S. history.

In fact, my long-term advice to myself, “live, as far as possible, below money” begins to make a lot of (common) sense. The financial system itself may crash, leaving us on our own — to trade, barter, gift, cooperate in ways not necessary until now, thus spurring the Aquarian spirit of continuous innovation as we attempt to remain centered while navigating chaos. More and more, we are going to recognize that “money” itself was merely a substitute for relationship.

Pluto’s protracted shift from ruining the WEF’s long term project of centralizing, hierarchical, top down, winner take all New World Order to life-or-death survival projects that ensure decentralizing, networked, cooperation among equals Aquarius begins now, today, and will take nearly three years to actually complete the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius. The dates are:

2023: March 23 to June 11 (in Aquarius, for less than three months this year)

2024: Jan 21 to Sep 1 (in Aquarius for nearly eight months in 2024)

2024: November 19  to March 9, 2043 when Pluto begins the process of moving from Aquarius into Pisces (in other words, PLUTO IN AQUARIUS FULL ON FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS).

Remember however, that continuous Aquarian low-tech innovation will not only be what I, and other luddites like me, want, but will also feature continuous high-tech improvements in AI, as the WEFers attempt to eliminate free will and reconfigure squirrely humans into robotic transhuman slaves.

Check out these configurations in this Aquarian ingress chart:

Seven planets total in only 43 degrees of the 360 degree zodiac, spanning parts of only two signs: Aries and Taurus.

Aries: Sun, Mercury, Jupiter (conjunct Chiron), Moon: ignition, new beginnings, fury, light fires, jump off the couch!

Taurus: Ascendant and Venus (conjunct North Node), Uranus: steady as she goes, grounded, earthy, fixed — but: eruptive Uranus there (since March 2019 through July 2025) indicates this ground underneath our feet will continue to be disturbed.

The key: center yourself in the whirlwind. Recognize your own embodied being as one center point of a continuously swirling world. Nothing is as it seems on the surface; everything continuously in motion; adaptation, on many levels, all the time, required.

Also: Notice that the Aries planets in this ingress chart just happen to be square Natal Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Mercury in the home-and-family loving U.S.A. chart. How will this play out?

Plus: the wounded healer Chiron conjunction with expansive, generous Jupiter in Aries not only squares the Capricorn MC of the ingress chart, but both then happen to be nearly exactly opposed and square the U.S. chart’s natal Saturn in diplomatic Libra. New beginnings, to heal broken relationships, required. On every level. Don’t just think politically and geopolitically. Think about broken relationships in your own life — former friends and broken family ties. Begin to heal them. We need full on mutual cooperation over many scales, if we are to not just survive, but thrive through the coming 18 years.

One very positive note: as Pluto in Aquarius gets going, it closely sextiles Sun in Aries: whatever cooperative new decentralized projects you can dream up (with Saturn in Pisces operating), begin to ignite them! With fiat money losing value, we have nothing more to lose. 

Oh, and one more, for the short term: notice that Mars, at 29° Gemini, moves into Cancer in three days, on March 26th. Expect an increase in emotionality, defense of family and family values, beginning then, until June 21st, when Mars moves into Leo.
