We all have a collective appointment with Pluto in Aquarius. It allows for an opportunity for major changes of the mental/communicative engagement of individuals and communities with society. The American and French Revolutions overlapped 1789-91 and were an important historical break in the hold monarchy had on humanity for countless centuries as the hierarchical, authoritarian organizing force. It held societies together by force, but kept them apart by tribalism. It insulated cruelty from proper public examination.
So think of Pluto in Aquarius as a window of opportunity in your growth and development to stop giving away any power to societal structures or patterns that diminish our humanity, our collective dignity, our innate connections with each other as Earth dwellers.
Dread of such opportunities paralyzes personal power. It assigns the entire period to a state of fear before it has even begun.
Revelation is a key concept here. More will be revealed, more empowering knowledge will be gained.
To gain from this transit, you must be interested in truth rather than clinging to whatever illusion of control you are familiar with. Pluto in Aquarius is a period in which essential truths will be revealed that are necessary for humanity to keep growing, and in which old patterns of (mental and social) order are disrupted to make way for better ones.
Expect new standards of Human Rights and greater implementation of real Democracy. It won't happen everywhere equally, but there will be enough breakthroughs to serve as new standards. They may not come in the expected places. After Pluto has left Aquarius the United States may no longer be the standard (or leader) for such things. The world order is changing and it won't be by any oligarchic or plutocratic plans.
Holding onto old ways of feeling/being empowered will be counter-productive. If those approaches are effective and empowering for you, then they will continue to be. But if they weren't really rooted in truth about yourself or life, they will be challenged.
It is an opportunity to decide who we will be as humans and how we will relate to each other. Terminology and definitions will be reset. We're already seeing this in many ways. Terms and definitions that degrade, demean, or reduce some humans to the benefit of others are being challenged and rejected. That is an ongoing conversation that will take time to become clear.
It is time for reason to become a verb again, something we do together as a matter of communicative consideration. We cannot continue talking past each other and demeaning each other with casual accusations of ill motives. Every person wants their goodness and worth recognized. Everyone wants to be heard.
It is a time to justifiably struggle for unity and that is the only widespread struggle worth investing our energies in. It is very difficult to elevate human beings above our past, to create true democracy and peace if many human beings are furthering division, new tribalisms, and advantage over others for themselves.
Pluto in Aquarius is a great time for those with vision and ideals. For those floundering in fear, it will remain terrifying. You decide your mentality. We each decide whether to pursue an ideal we want to create or remain reactive in fear.
We each decide.
