Pluto in Aquarius - The End of an Era

The year 2024 is no ordinary year in the astral realm. I'm calling 2024 (The Bridge), 2023 was a year of transition a waking up so to speak, and now as we embark on 2024, we will be starting a walk across a bridge into a new era and a completely different world and life as we know it today.  2024 will be a year of finalities.  Many planetary transits, stations, and lunations will highlight the anaretic degree of 29. This is important in astrology because 29 degrees of any sign is a crisis degree, urgent, challenging, very potent, and it demands closure. This energy as well as other cosmic happening this year, is setting up a journey of epic proportions, weaving tales of transformation, change, growth, and profound shifts.

 In 2024, Pluto will spend 2 months at 29 degrees of Capricorn. This energy highlights the pressure of the past vs. the future. What have we learned about the dark side and manipulation of government control? What traditions are worth preserving in our lives and society?  I think we are all in agreement if we think back since 2019, that the world has been undergoing a death and downfall of entrenched structures - political, social, and economic, while Pluto was in the last few degrees of Capricorn, and is now in the final 29 degree bringing the energy to a tipping point.  Pluto changes signs it means big shifts and transformation for the collective - both in the sign it's leaving, and the ones it moves into.  Pluto's ingress into Aquarius on January 20th is one of the most important transits of 2024, which it will stay for many months, dip back into Capricorn then stay in Aquarius for 20 years, till 2044!

 Pluto in Aquarius is about dismantling and breaking down traditional forms and old systems, with it we'll see some of the old systems end and new ones emerge. Aquarius is about innovation and technology, AI is here to stay, so we can expect more advancement in these areas. On a personal level, it's calling us to confront and purge what is outgrown, corrupt, and stagnant, and ultimately guiding us into the depths to uncover our authenticity, vitality, and power. Towards the end of 2024, we will feel more liberated from the past as we move deeper into the Aquarian age.

 On January 20th as well, the Sun will cross over Pluto creating a cazimi right as Pluto moves into Aquarius, this is a moment of a rebirth for Pluto, as he shows the world the shadow of an old paradigm, a newness and breakthrough is ignited that I feel is an important day to notice. 

 This year's cosmic energy will be the guidepost, steering us forward to journey across a bridge into 2025. As we release the old order, we are gifted with the opportunity to build a better world in its place. 2024 will be a year we will remember. Big changes and rapid evolution are on the horizon, so finding our anchors is extra important. As we navigate these cosmic tides, get connected to your community, and find ways to share your authentic talents and be of service. Despite the challenges of change, we possess the resilience, wisdom, and vision to shape a brighter future.
