Happy Winter Solstice to our 5D Family ! Each year on this day we reach the Darkest Night of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The Winter Solstice heralds the ingress of the Sun into the sign of Capricorn, and we enter the “3 days of darkness”, which lasts from December 21st-December 24th. During this time, we are called into a deep stillness and contemplation. During the holiday times we tend to get stuck rushing around and dealing with the holiday stress. This year, we are being urged to slow down and truly reflect on the past 15 years of our life.
As we have shared, we are currently in the darkest part of the Eye of the Needle transit, which began earlier as Pluto was phasing in and out of the final degree of Capricorn into the first degree of Aquarius. Pluto is one of the most powerful archetypes in our Spiritual Solar System. He is the planet known for death + rebirth and lord of the underworld. His mission is to bring us into all of the uncomfortable spaces and face our shadows. We often experience loss with Pluto, as his motto is “nothing is permanent.” He teaches us how to face our fears, wounds, traumas and to bravely transmute them back into light. He teaches us how to transmute pain into power. However, those that misuse their power or inflict harm onto others are destined to be hunted down by Pluto. He is an assassin of sorts and he does not stand for anything that goes against life, love and Creation.
During Pluto transits of a sign, we will be shown the best and the absolute worst of that sign. Those who are courageous enough to work with these transits always come out the other side more empowered and deeply healed. Those who take advantage of this transit by using it against others, will always see their downfall. It is a far fall from the top, and Pluto’s speciality is to collapse anything that was built out of integrity. For the last 15 years, since 2008, Pluto has been transiting the sign of Capricorn. During this time, we have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of Capricorn themes like: government, politics, authority, capitalism, patriarchy, and profit.
Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, and Saturn and Pluto have a strong relationship. Both are known as the heavy hitters of the cosmos, and both put us through initiations and tests. Therefore, this last 15 years have been filled with the heaviest and most challenging initiations of our entire lives. Pluto works on a cellular level, so his lessons and his healing are deep and long lasting. Pluto has been rooting out the energy of enslavement, both within us and on an external level. One deep shadow of Capricorn is the idea of the “haves” and the “have nots”. Through this transit, the gap continued to widen between the 1% and the 99%, creating an enslavement paradigm. Many have noticed that our current day events and media have an eerie dystopian and “Hunger Games” vibes. That is exactly what this transit was showing us.
Whenever Pluto is reaching the end of one transit and beginning the next, we enter this kind of void space. One era is ending and a new era is beginning, and we are caught between letting go of the old but not yet ready to leap into the new. Pluto reached the 29th degree of Capricorn earlier this year between February and March of 2023. It entered Aquarius for a brief 6 weeks from March 23rd-June 11th, before retrograding back into the later degrees of Capricorn. If we look back at our lives during that time, we may see some themes emerging. Wherever Pluto is transiting your personal chart, we are going through a deep and final release of the “old” in that area of life, and preparing to embrace the new. Pluto has now reached the 29th degree of Capricorn again under this Winter Solstice, signaling the end of this era.
Over the next month, Pluto will be collapsing any final outdated systems, structures and enslavement codes, preparing to burst us forth into the Age of Aquarius upon his entrance into the sign on January 20th. Many of us have heard of the “Age of Aquarius” since 2012. This is when the Age of Enlightenment and the new paradigm began to unfold, but I would say the official beginning of the Age of Aquarius will be set to dawn in January and 2024 will be dominated by this new paradigm.
The other thing that makes this transition even more interesting, is that as Humanity has been undergoing this ascension process, we have made quantum leaps in consciousness in the last 10-12 years. The archetypes of the zodiac are therefore undergoing their own evolution, as we come into higher states of awareness. Many of the shadow aspects of the planets and signs are now dissolving, and we are moving into the higher embodiment of these archetypes. Pluto, specifically, is moving out of his “death and rebirth” archetype, and transitioning into his Activator archetype. This means that when he moves into Aquarius, we may still have to face some ugly shadow sides of this sign before we can move forward, but overall Pluto will be activating the Aquarian Codes for Humanity and solidifying the new paradigm.
This will change everything about the way we live our lives, the way we connect, and what we value. Some of the themes of the Age of Aquarius that differ from the Pluto in Capricorn era are:
~Power to the people rather than power to the elites, governments and systems
~Power to the underdogs and “black sheep” rather than mainstream
~Authenticity will be highly valued over societal “status”
~Philanthropy will be a focus rather than obtaining obscene amounts of wealth
~The cosmos, Galactics, and anything “other worldly” will become a theme
~Technology and the way we utilize it will greatly change, highlighting some of the dangers of lower technology
~Freedom over restriction and rules
~Uniqueness will be valued over conformity
~Sovereignty will replace enslavement
No matter where Pluto is transiting in your chart, this Age of Aquarius will effect us all collectively and personally. We are both witnessing and co-creating an entirely new world. The way we show up in the world, how we express our unique gifts and talents, how we connect with one another, how we collaborate and work together, will all change. To prepare for this exciting shift, I will be hosting an Age of Aquarius Seminar on December 29th-30th! This will be a 2 part Seminar which will cover the following:
Part 1 will cover:
~understanding Pluto's Archetype and his current evolution
~understanding the Aquarius Archetype + it's evolution
~reflecting + discussing Pluto's transit through Capricorn (2008-2023) and the lessons from this period
~understanding the house(s) in your personal chart that are being effected by this transit and how the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius may manifest in your life
Part 2 will cover:
~the Aquariuan codes + how this will effect the collective consciousness and all areas of life including business, community, manifestation, healing, ascension, etc.
~other contributing energies to 2024 including the Chinese Year of the Dragon, Numerology Year 8, + the beginning of the new 180 year Nine cycle
~other major astrological transits of 2024 including planetary sign changes, eclipses, + major aspects
Both Parts will be recorded for those that cannot attend live
For all who are guided to join me, especially those who may have major Aquarius placements in their chart, please RSVP here.
