From 1764 to 1778, Pluto spoke eloquently in the sign of Capricorn. Those who were born into this timing were compelled to fall short
of what they envisioned looming over them. For example, Coleridge and Wordsworth, each individually and together, could lucidly and straightforwardly see an extraordinary pinnacle of human attainment standing just beyond their grasp. Their true task was to point toward
that vista in breathless awe.
The greatest member of that generation, Beethoven, could as well dwell upon those heights in his moments of inspired creation. Where did Beethoven find himself at home when he heard the music of the gods? It was that place which the 21st century generation of Pluto in Capricorn will inhabit together – the way life was always intended to be. As Beethoven’s greatest works such as the Ninth symphony witness, upon those peaks the most supreme exultation is a constant.Those who incarnate
through Pluto in Capricorn seek to come to self-mastery in the full of their powers. They are the great awakeners, stirring human consciousness and establishing new precedents and paradigms. Their finest efforts go toward relinking the greater worlds with the lesser worlds, in such total conviction that nobody can miss the centrality and magnitude of humanity’s eternal aspiration to bridge all worlds within itself, so that the fallen human kingdom can regain its rightful place and inherit the Earth.

In most of the late 1700’s, Pluto sparked the deeper vibrational regions of the sign of Aquarius. During that time, the planet Uranus was discovered, beginning the modern era on the note of revolution. In the United States and in France, the attempt was made to overthrow
monarchy and absolutism, and to bring in the new world order. Both attempts were premature, and led to a damming-up and hardening
of the revolutionary impulse.
monarchy and absolutism, and to bring in the new world order. Both attempts were premature, and led to a damming-up and hardening
of the revolutionary impulse.
However, the true revolution broke out in the form of the Romantic Movement, and that current fulfilled the inner vision of Aquarius. One pivotal insight made romanticism so relevant and quickening to the pulse of human evolution that it has remained the single counterpoise to all raw materialism ever since. That insight
was that every kingdom of Nature is lit up from within itself by a regenerative life-current that defies quantitative analysis.The human response to that wondrous
discovery was ecstatic, celebrational and marked by a sense of inward satisfaction and fulfillment in being allowed to walk the living Earth freely. At the very center of
this breakthrough was the startling event of a new planet appearing before humanity’s eye, named Uranus to indicate that a totally other reality was looming into view.This new planet refocused the cosmicd imension of human experience in the Earth by opening wide the scope of humanity’s knowledge-frontier, and challenging
the bold ones to awaken unto totality once again, to investigate objectively all the known world with the understanding that once material existence could be comprehensively mapped, more central worlds would open up when Pluto next streams through the sign of Aquarius in the second decade of the 21st century.

In the first two decades of the 1800’s, Pluto dived into its innermost home in the depths of Pisces. A planetary civilization was cradled and
fostered down under there, in spiritual gatherings and in Earthly births of souls destined to dramatize and epitomize all that had gone wrong in humanity’s flirtation with its own extinction.
fostered down under there, in spiritual gatherings and in Earthly births of souls destined to dramatize and epitomize all that had gone wrong in humanity’s flirtation with its own extinction.
A certain mute despair at the vastness and all-pervasiveness of the destructive industrial/technical juggernaut arose in those souls sensitive to the inward reverberations
of the times. Springing forth out of this despair, each person plumbed an extreme, seeking sanctuary or answers. In most instances, they kept to the mass sea of collective
impressions, looking for resolution within that sea itself; and what they found was a host of fragmentary ways through.The first four asteroids were scientifically discovered during this time. Because these tiny planetary bodies are physically insignificant, and because the mind of science swept over the world in this time period,
denying subtler levels of perception, the asteroids have not been given their due.They represent the shattered, atomized pieces of mass consciousness that, during the
first two decades of the 1800’s, became the dominant motif in England, Germany, and the United States, and later spread everywhere.In these three nations, there
were born those who would intensely suffer the consequences of the island unconsciousness of the seductive masses, and would then reflect that suffering in every
molecule of what they produced, revealing drastically what a false civilization does to those in it who can feel what it is really like down under.

From the mid-1820’s to the early 1850’s, throughout the second quarter of the 19th century, Pluto scorched a trail through Aries. The result
was an exaggerated emphasis upon personal life against the backdrop of a world that seemed full of opportunity and possibility.
was an exaggerated emphasis upon personal life against the backdrop of a world that seemed full of opportunity and possibility.
Those born into Pluto in Aries stand as beacons of personal and interpersonal dynamism in the instances of those who had a strong enough pioneering instinct. Primitive
conditions, elemental forces, and a driving necessity to generate overt results combined to produce stark, somewhat out-of-context figures, each with his or her own ideas
about which way was forward. Fierce conviction, intense drive and wild restless notions catapult Pluto in Aries pioneers toward doing the impossible, or toward dazzling
representations of the human journey in living on the edge of many worlds. This position is maddening, provoking, incendiary. Only moving forward counts for anything;
the past is burned up, and the future idealized. The best of this influence is to emonstrate character and that special sensibility that comes with rough, hard-headed human character testing itself in the crucible of urgent critical events and cross-currents, and discovering that there is vast territory still lying out ahead for those bold
enough to claim it.

The Earth roots of the modern condition stream through the 1850’s, 1860’s and 1870’s, when Pluto was in Taurus. The Impulse here is to form a new Earth, the first stages inside the soul of each individual being who can imagine and foster a living seed deep inside that seeks
to come forth into the world. The conception involves lengthy stages, protracted delays, and the impossibility of conveying to others with
sufficient intensity what is sensed and known inside.

sufficient intensity what is sensed and known inside.
Those who take up this mysterious force become held within the matrix of the Great Mother’s potency of re-emergence into direct access to human consciousness. She
enters the innermost soul by profound and soul-rending crises and experiences of what a world devoid of the Mother’s presence means. Those who burn through existing
societal structures and then meet the nothingness looming behind them prepare for refertilization of the deeper ground. Each one of them strives alone in strange
solitude; yet accompanied by helpful guiding spirits. Those born with Pluto in Taurus can receive and respond to an entirely new world, bringing visions characterized by exquisite grace and encompassing allegiance to the whole of Earth evolution. Here the future worlds are ripened toward later fruition. Those with
the courage and the perseverance to link with the Mother in a time when anti-life predominates are granted poignant, unforgettable glimpses of all that is to be, beyond
the grip of a world that has forgotten itself.

In the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s, Pluto moved through the ultra-kinetic sign of Gemini. A tremendous shift in world outlook was
precipitated by a host of societal currents, especially keying into inventions, innovations, huge endings, and overwhelming beginnings.
Virtually every sphere of human life shifted utterly.

Virtually every sphere of human life shifted utterly.
Those who came into the world in this timing carry the new wave so irrevocably that they barely hesitate in putting behind them thousands of years of history and trying
something new. They push off from what has become remote and deadly, and enter upon whatever arises in their path.Their contribution is to turn their gaze forward
and to go onward, ever onward. They are excited by the first dawning of a multidimensional spectrum of life-experience. They die young, even if they live to a ripe old
age. These are the forerunners, the ones who sense what can be, what can no longer be kept back on the farm. They are both victims and at times joyful exponents of
modernism and every kind of “ism” imaginable. Ultimately, they cannot live any longer in caked-over worlds. They can only strive toward worlds to be, which they sense
are so different that, whatever it takes, they must ride the wave from snug familiars to something down the road which, once glimpsed, can never be forgotten.

For 25 years, from the Summer of 1913 to the Summer of 1938, Pluto devastated the foundations of the sign of Cancer. The fabric of society
was torn, and revealed to be retrogressive and fixated upon ancestral karmas.
was torn, and revealed to be retrogressive and fixated upon ancestral karmas.
Those who were born in these times found themselves to be placed in impossible conditions – wars, economic collapse, and the entire world being threatened with
imminent destruction. Fear and doubt became commonplace, and trust and confidence seemed more and more misplaced and inappropriate. This was the generation
that suffered the dissolution of the old world order, outside and in. Most of them felt fated, swept along helplessly in the destructive side. A rare few were called to recognize and unflinchingly say “yes” to this flood of collective death and being right up against the infinite unknown. Their greatest test has been to resist the temptation
to fall back upon a smaller compass of concerns as shock absorber, and to keep meeting the onslaught of events with willingness.For the rare few who carry this current
all the way, the path forward involves breaking through to a direct spirit connection and then becoming teachers, showing the way toward tapping into spirit and totality
in order to recreate human culture from the next octave on the spiral – the point beyond self-sufficiencies, the reconciliation place, where the worlds converge and fear is
extinguished by communion with source.

From 1938 to 1957, the decisive years of the 20th century, Pluto stormed through Leo, without any moments of ebbing or reflective counterpoint. The tempest was front-line war between good and evil. Those born in these years have a unique historic perspective on
polarities and their dynamic interplay. The heights and the depths, heaven and Earth, above and below, are fully activated from both sides
in this influence. It represents an unceasing, lifelong struggle to come to oneself, and to bridge heaven and Earth within one’s own creative
individuality.

It takes tremendous maturity and stouthearted courage to take up this path meaningfully. Those who can become so thoroughly committed to the destiny-striving of the
free individual that all of hell cannot undercut their way forward.The powers of the deep have been unleashed, and cannot be denied. The true goodness in the human
heart has yet to be heard from. It contains a power greater by far than atomic energy, totalitarianism and the Anti-Christ rolled into one. This is the generation that
meets in the Earth their own God/desshood – they meet it most profoundly and unmistakably in the fiery core of their own individual becoming. Then they encounter
reflections of the same love throughout the Earth, beyond conditions and woven through all time. Ultimately, this generation selects out representatives who embody
this ever more passionately as they evolve ways of seeing and being that transform the very fiber of the world. These hardy individuals know who they are. They therefore
endow the future with the essentialized message of all cultural pasts, transmuted through individual sensibility from decadent, stagnant forms to a grail-cup of shared
revisioning that denies nothing and acknowledges all.

Between 1957 and 1971, there came a wave of souls who incarnate right in the midst of the great struggle, when the Cold War heats up into
extraordinary space probes and vast extensions of the battle into all corners of the world, colonizing through consumer images; and
technology is everywhere. Only then can the mind witness the precise nature of what human beings do to one another when they swear
by false gods.

Here we have the generation of conscience – the bad conscience and the good conscience. All aware members of this generation can conceive of every possible mistake
and wrongdoing in the contemporary world, to the point that they find themselves living so many lies that they cannot count them all.Those few who find inside themselves the champions of the good conscience will link themselves tenaciously with the Divine Mother inside the Earth, with her call and her cry.
and wrongdoing in the contemporary world, to the point that they find themselves living so many lies that they cannot count them all.Those few who find inside themselves the champions of the good conscience will link themselves tenaciously with the Divine Mother inside the Earth, with her call and her cry.
They will know in body and soul that truth which can answer the deception of false security and seeming containment offered by those with the tongues of vipers.
Most characteristically, these are the ones who cannot be fooled by words and suggestive pictures. They have seen them all and heard them all, and now move out beyond the mental fragmentations of endless mutually contradictory persuasions.
What they move into is a virginal realm of fresh life-forces, unscarred and unpolluted, where they will thrive and renew the Earth. These are the ones who will live to tell the story of the greatest change the world has ever known. They will remember what it was like in the 1970’s and 1980’s , when nobody was living in tune with the Mother, and the Earth was almost lost to the forces of denial and resistance.

From the early 1970’s through the early 1980’s, Pluto wandered through the many chambers of Libra. This was a time with great promise,
but little to show for that promise at the end. In the middle of this time, the new “planet” Chiron was discovered (in the asteroid belt),
and this became the pivotal influence in turning the tide from indolence to a renewed yearning toward wholeness.

Those who incarnate through Pluto in Libra have about them a question mark, a sphinx-like quality of destiny-riddle. They feel every old current, and every new current
as well. All sides of human experience live in them, and the question is, “Which will they choose?” Most dramatically, “Will they attempt to reconstitute the 20th century
image of ‘the good life’?” or, “Will they gravitate more toward a 21st century quickening of deep feeling for what will serve the Earth?” Those amongst this generation who
grab the backward way will find themselves eventually slipping ever further backward. Those who leap beyond promises and pretty pictures will become catalysts of
shared attempts to live progressively in a fast-changing planet. A few of these will make a great leap of quantum dimensions, into revitalizing the very basis of human
connection with cosmos, Nature and other human beings.This group lives between the cataclysms of societal breakdown and the opening into an entirely different shared reality. Their true life-stream forms itself by selecting the most relevant of the old forms and then infusing these with a future ray that can penetrate wherever
courage has outdistanced fear, and a new kind of love has put behind itself the enmities and strife of partisan points of view, on the way toward identifying one’s being
with the entire journey of humanity, lovingly formed and appreciated as a consummately beautiful manifestation.

From the mid-1980’s to the mid-1990’s, Pluto pierced into the hidden realms of Scorpio.This influence heralded both the final phase of the
old world hanging on and the initial phase of the new world being revealed.
old world hanging on and the initial phase of the new world being revealed.
Both fire and ice are there in Scorpio, in fluctuating phases. The fire part is cycles-upon-cycles of absolutely incredible, instantaneous and overlapping changes. The ice
part is the ever further uncovering of deep hidden wells in which aliveness has been suspended and the inner soul frozen over.Those who incarnate during these years
bring with them radical urgency and mobilized intensity of will to redeem the Earth. They know their task is monumental, and they are convinced that they cannot fail.
They burn with strength of purpose, and ruthlessly hold to an icy resolve that becomes stronger yet whenever challenged. Theirs is the depth charge. They oversee the
collective parting of the ways. Many souls clamor to be born in this turning time, for they know that they will be empowered to individual and collective repolarizations of
miraculous hue. These are the ones who signal by their very presence that the false aspects of the world-as-it-has-been are absolutely doomed. What will follow from
there is open, and can only be determined by those who get underneath collective follies and navigate inside the Earth’s fluids until the secret Being of Earth shows forth
her yearning and her renewing breath. The lost wisdom of Sophia will then flood Earth’s parched souls, in something-else-altogether, proving to be what the Earth is
all about.

In the middle of the 1700’s, Pluto entered the sign of Sagittarius. At the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, Pluto
comes full circle again in Sagittarius. The primary power of this influence is creative mutation of the cells of the human species, from
life-negative to life-affirmative ways of being. Taking William Blake as a representative of the previous historic cycle at its best, what
emerges here is the leap beyond the shadow of previously assumed limitations and patterns of conditioning and coercion.

Free humanity blazes in the visions of Blake in epic scope, and free humanity shall restore the Earth through tens of thousands of those born in the ending of the 20th
and start of the 21st centuries. These follow the path of the Morning Star, and they shall go all the way. They are born in the most extreme of times, and the arc of their
bow extends into bright radiance in the mid-21st century, when healing and generosity will prevail. Many great souls will choose to come back through this way – especially those who have exhausted their curiosity and fascination with the baubles of external desire.The single most unavoidable aspect of Pluto in Sagittarius is
instantaneously recognizing what will serve the New Earth, and drawing it forth from its encumbering conditions to place it where it belongs, showing the way forward
by the inherent extraordinary vistas in its makeup. Those who come through Pluto in Sagittarius will have a sharp eye for the true gems in this living Earth, as they have
inside of them the same vibrant stream aching to warm and lighten the weary world.
