In 1923 Carl G. Jung published his works on Psychological Types
and introduced us to the idea of groups of thought or collections of
thoughts that we experience on an unconscious level en mass, through
archetypes. The collective unconscious contains the inherited or
ancestral memories and archetypes that the individual taps into as a
reference to the world around him. We carry these ancestral memories
and continually build upon them in our ever expanding awareness and
perspective. Significance within this reference is the goal of the
identity, the implicate order.
Pluto is a very small planet at the edge of the solar system with
an orbital tilt that allows for a different view or perspective of the
rest of the solar system, far removed from the light of our
consciousness center (Sun). Much of our perspective is determined by
this collective reference as a starting point for transformation of
that collective identity. The powerless position of such a small body
is reflected in the need for significant impact as the
overcompensation to "make itself felt". It arises from the fear of
insignificant effect in such an isolated position. This is the
psychological key to Pluto and Scorpio. The transformation that is
pursued is the attempt to validate the ego within this larger group of
like thinkers and is usually felt by that generation as the thing that
society lacks and needs. That generation then adds to societal
perspective its contribution. In astrology the planet Pluto reflects
the generational collective unconscious and acts as the guide to the
collective development of this system's (the solar system) ever
expanding awareness.
The group we are born into by Pluto's sign reference carries with
it tremendous change in the sign it is so placed. But curiously this
impact is felt as the generation matures. We must first seek to expand
the influence of our self (Jupiter) through strategy necessary for
physical realization (Saturn), realize these barriers are self created
and imposed (Uranus) and dissolve them (Neptune), that leads to this
collective transformative recognition, through altered perspectives
and attitudes of our place within the universe (Pluto).
In the early sixties the generation that was born with Pluto in
Leo (1939-57) became the "do your own thing" generation and creative
applications were the order of the day. Why? Because the generation
that preceded them had their focus on security concerns
(Cancer-1914-39) and they needed to expand that perspective, because
the previous generation concentrated on dispersing and creating a
global community (Gemini) that that one had to secure... Of course
this repeats over and over each time at a higher and more expanded
level but with different configurations of the planets inside it's
orbit and perhaps those outside of its orbit marking a larger frame of
reference (Transpluto?).
A paradigm is a conceptual framework or set of assumptions under
which we make rules, and determine inquiry. In this sense Pluto
reflects the current paradigm collectively that we are "agreeing" to
be our parameter of interest and development. The issues of the period
by sign and aspects are reflected through it. But the individuals born
under a certain paradigm manifest that paradigm as the current
paradigm when they reach adult age 20 years or so later. That imprint
seems to exist then and is brought forward in time.
Conjunctions of the outer planets to Pluto reflects the periods
when these paradigms shift in focus or content. Since Neptune's orbit
and Pluto's orbit cover some of the same space sometimes (because of
the off center shape of their orbits) they work together in this
dissolution and reformation of global and collective perspective
development. The solar system itself is in a state of developmental
awareness and consciousness expansion that is reflected in the
collective perspective. It is the collective consciousness in material
form.
Uranus is the planet that reflects the primary energies of
dislodging the old paradigm sets so this change can take place. The
quadratures between Uranus and Pluto are very significant indicators
of these collective shifts. The Pluto in Leo generation therefore was
able to take advantage of a paradigm shift with which to express their
specific change as the major paradigm during the Uranus/Pluto
conjunction of 1965.
The last conjunction of Uranus/Pluto was at 29 Aries which preceded
the Civil War.
This is easily seen by its square to the materialistic position of
Pluto in Capricorn in the chart of the US at 27 Capricorn. Here we had
a revolution in ego dominance (Aries) of the collective and racial
perspective. Uranus rules 10 (the president) and Pluto rules 6
(service and servants, work and the 12th of the public). It was also
the time that California became a state. California has always been
know for its "conglomeration" populace and weird or strange
lifestyles. The seal of California depicts a Grizzly bear as the
symbol of the early American struggle for independence.
In 1965 the conjunction occurred in Virgo (critical thinking) in
the 5th of the US chart (the youth of the nation) and the rebellion
against the "establishment" began. Square the US Mars (the military)
the protest against military maneuvers and the Viet Nam efforts begins
to get serious. Its conjunction to Neptune easily identifies drugs and
counterculture activities as being a part of this rebellion.
The generation born with Pluto in Virgo (1957-72) pushed for the
transformation of perspective with the emphasis on technological
service oriented devices, health and fitness issues. This generation
found practical uses for the creations of the previous generation. But
this generation awakened technological service that will dramatically
change future paradigms or systems of belief (Uranus) because of the
conjunction of Uranus to this Pluto cycle. And this is the
predominating paradigm that will carry until the first square in 2012.
The illusory effects of what we do for a living will be where this
breakup will occur-does this really reflect me? When this occurs we
wake up to the recognition of unlimited choice in our creative
prowess. The period immediately preceding this first square will begin
to seem oppressive in this "Virgoian" system. The overthrowing of the
current paradigm is the effect of the Uranus/Pluto quadratures and
this generation made drastic changes through computers, medicine,
psychology and the entire service industry. Downsizing and rightsizing
of corporations and workplaces and all types of efficiency concerns
have been the effect of this Virgoian generational perspective. Making
things easier through technology leaves more time for relationship
concerns. This is what the next generation will "feel" was missing and
begin to promote as its most predominant paradigm. The critical and
refining or discriminating and efficiency oriented Virgo perspective
will be overthrown and overshadowed by the sudden surge in
relationship and identity concerns.
Pluto in Libra (1971-84) will be the generation who's perspective
and collective orientation will probably be the most influencing and
influenced by the next quadrature of Uranus/Pluto which occurs in
2012. This generation's need for social change will dramatically alter
the present assumptions about all sorts of commonly accepted beliefs
about relationship and interaction. It may have to as we discover new
life in space.
With the last square around 1932, Pluto itself was discovered and
the mobster mentality and world became an issue. As we can see all of
these quadratures corresponded to some sort of power struggles within
the mass consciousness, usually but not always having to do with race
or nationality. The generation that will be right in the middle of the
next square will be the Pluto in Libra generation. And as shown by the
placement of this square around the US chart (above), the issues will
be again revolving around the status and ego (Aries and Capricorn) a
competitive struggle for dominance. The past has shown us that this
quadrature brings some sort of reshifting of power within the masses
or at least the need to remove power from some group who has usurped
it. This power realignment as we will call it, will take place in
economic functions and sharing, the death rate or issues of life and
death, and the advising segments for the president(8th house). The
death of a president while in office would be the entirely possible
under such an aspect. The 11th house of the US chart deals with
congressional issues and no doubt there will be major power struggles
here. The difference in this quadrature as opposed to other
historically recent ones is the fact that this one falls within orb of
a grand cross with the US radix Venus, Jupiter, Sun, and Saturn, this
is an extremely difficult time in US history. Economic and political
issues will no doubt be powerful. The squares get closer to the US
Saturn by 2015 and reflect tremendous difficulties and power struggles
as the direction of the country's extension (5th house Saturn) and
relationship to other powers is challenged by the Pluto in Libra
generation. This also coincides with a Saturn return for the US as
well and it appears that the military structures are where power will
be taken back from.
In the natural horoscope (Zodiac) the signs of Scorpio (Pluto) and
Aquarius (Uranus) are square each other and reflect the externalized
"versions" of Taurus (Venus) and Leo (Sun). Since these two signs
reflect our worth and creative extension respectively, their
externalized versions are just reflections of our own creations
interacting with the apparent other. It is a question of abundance
typically-or rather the belief or disbelief in that idea, that is the
cause of these power struggles. The only resolution to such
difficulties is usually what transpires. A redistribution of power
(Pluto) to allow for a greater experience of liberty (Uranus) and
justice for all. It is never entirely justice and rarely for all. But
this distribution itself is essentially an illusion, because our
realities are created by us day in and day out. It is the giving away
of power that begins the cycle. Perhaps sometime in the present or the
future we can allow for the recognition that we don't need to give it
away to begin with. We can create whatever we desire without
detracting from someone else. We cannot be responsible for others only
to them. This is why Pluto's exaltation in Leo tells us that our
greatest power to change the world is through the individual's power
to extend themselves. In this way if we take responsibility for our
creations day to day, one group or another will not have to be
fighting to get it back sometime in the future, and even if they are,
it won't be a group we belong to.
The paradigm shift of 2012 will be from material or scientific
standards of validity, to quality of life and relationship standards,
of course this takes power from certain groups that are no longer
necessary or fair, the battle of the ego may be great, but as history
has shown through these quadratures in the past, transforming has
never been the result of mediocre people or events. If there was only
one truth, or one basis to form our assumptions about the nature of
existence from, obviously paradigms would never shift and discovery
would not exist. It is from tiny Pluto's perspective the only way to
find significance and meaning in the vast sea of time and space.
