Winds of change we haven't seen in decades are now blowing hard. We are already one foot into a dramatic shift in human evolution. Pluto's transition from Capricorn into Aquarius signals the beginning of this new era, now under the tutelage of Uranus, which moves from slow, earthy Taurus into the volatile realms of Gemini—its element, air. And so begins a superbly mental age that blends the spiritual with the most intense progressivism, and in which you may begin to perceive the superior realms in trigonometric equations. But as these two powerful archetypes intertwine in a new dance, it becomes essential to look into the mythological mirror that reveals not only their unique authority, but also their darker foundations. For these two forces shape us, not with a gentle hand, but with a cold, forceful inevitability.
Uranus and Pluto are towering figures in mythology and also in astrology. The former is the cosmic architect, a primordial force presiding over creation, while the latter rules the invisible, both the literal underworld and the depths of the human psyche. They are the ones who move the tectonic plates within and around us, shaking the foundations and forcing rebirth, advancement and evolution. Yet despite their shared status as agents of transformation, they could not be more different in their approach to authority or the way they direct generational change. So, to understand the possibilities ahead, we must delve deeper into who these gods are at their core.
