The Cycle of Pluto – the Transformer – from Darkness into Light
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious”. Carl Jung
Evolutionary astrologer and author Jeff Green has been instrumental in raising human consciousness since 1985 through his deeply meaningful book Pluto, The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul, My copy is falling to pieces because it has been so well used! I have recommended it to all my students because it answers the questions of “Why am I here, and what are my life lessons?”.
When studied with sincerity, an open mind and a desire to know self on a deep subconscious level, this book provides answers. Whether we act upon them or not is up to us. However, It is only the inner wars of transformation that can lead to peace – when the ego meets with the Soul. The ego will cling on tightly to its hold over the mind. Through faith and trust in a higher power, the soul will eventually take over and guide. This is the ascension process – a spiritual evolutionary process all souls undertake – from the darkness of ignorance to the light of higher consciousness.(enlightenment). This is the realm of ancient wisdom.
Pluto was discovered in 1930 in the sign of Cancer. At that time, scientists were developing their understanding of the atom that resulted in the creation of the atomic bomb. This is the external symbolism for the internal Plutonic process every human takes on their personal journey to enlightenment.
Pluto’s orbit is elliptical, taking 247.7 years to complete. It can spend from between 12 to 24 years moving through one sign.
Since November 2008 it has been moving through the sign of Capricorn, the opposite sign to Cancer. The day it moved into Capricorn, at least three world banks collapsed. The financial/monetary theme has continued and grown since that time. Banks have changed their tactics. ATM’s have been created. Many banks have closed. During the next few months Pluto will deliver his final, and powerful Capricorn message before he moves into Aquarius on 24 January 2024, where he will remain for the next twenty years. How will we humans react to the message? it’s likely to involve finance and the power that money holds over human minds. What is really taking place on a global scale? I feel sure we’ll soon find out.
Now lets go internal. Human evolution of consciousness is definitely taking place. Reflect on your consciousness growth process since 2008. Have you spent time in Pluto’s underworld transforming yourself through a ‘death’ of old attitudes, beliefs and ways of life? And have greater self-realisations followed?
In my book Your Recipe for Empowerment through Spiritual Astrology, Vol. Two, I write “Power and manipulative control are themes associated with Pluto. …and with Scorpio, the zodiacal sign ruled by Pluto. It is wise to accept these energy currents exist. Some of us want to deny them and are unwilling to go to these deep places inside ourselves. Pretending they do not exist is denial. We are incredible multidimensional beings, having experienced all types of journeys during our many incarnations. A visit into the darkest realms is part of those experiences. We can re-play the dark games this time around or consciously choose not to. Look around the world to see the choices that have been made. Now view your own life as if above, from a watcher perspective. Be honest with what you see. Often it is through the death of a loved one, a relationship or of a way of life, that transformation occurs, enabling a re-birth. Deep emotion arises from our subconscious during these times in order to be seen clearly (realised) owned, accepted and released”.
In whatever is the area of life (house) Pluto is placed in your natal chart is the specific area of life where you, as a soul, have chosen to experience a death of the old and a rebirth into a new way of life. The process will involve the opposite house. It’s wise to learn about the house themes so you can consciously use the Plutonic force wisely.
Part of the ancient wisdom teaching is that of the relativity between “above” and “below”. In terms of consciousness evolution, our consciousness is being blasted wide open. (Below/internal). During the last century, and continuing into the 21st century, many new cosmic bodies have been, and will continue to be, discovered within our Solar System. (Above) They have always been there. We humans didn’t have the needed level of consciousnesses to see them. I believe that astrology also needs to advance along with the human advance in consciousness. Hence my training by the Sirians and Arcturians, written about in my recent trilogy of books: Arcturus Astrology.
There will be many more cosmic discoveries as human consciousness advances. The numbers of light workers will increase. More light is, and will continue to, bombard Earth. It is the nature of the Age of Aquarius. With Pluto in Aquarius the themes will change. There will be an even greater focus upon enlightenment – and on conscious human creations. Technology will advance to such a degree that what we think of now as new will become obsolete in a couple of years, or even earlier. Some amazing inventions will come to light that will revolutionise our world. Space travel is likely to become normalised. Space beings may reveal themselves by creating a bodily form all can see.The global Capricorn ‘authorities’ may have a tough time releasing their hold over human minds so revolution is likely to occur. With increased power, the Earth may shake off her humanity-inflicted toxic shadows.
Individuals will search for and find their spiritual tribe, those on the same vibrational frequency as their own. Amazing humanitarian creations will emerge as the Light finds different avenues of creative expression through open-minded individuals. Expect the unexpected. Watch out for global revolutionary announcements. Be alert to whatever occurs globally on 24 January 2023 because it will set the theme for the following 20 years. Disclosures of all kinds will provide the energy fuel needed to override current human perceptions.
I love Pluto. He is an amazing archetypal teacher. Through my inner seeing, he shows me his image that I hold dear to my heart. He cloaks himself in black, yet underneath his cloak is the most brilliant light. I have often experienced sitting on his lap and peeping under his cloak to be filled with light! I feel privileged to be a part of his evolution as he has been a part of mine. Thank you Pluto.
