Pluto into Aquarius: The Shadows of Enlightenment

[@thomaswilkinson502]

Ursula K. Leguin will be a good author to read during this time. Her books bring good balance to these marginalizations.

[@Tanner_Star-Tree]

I enjoy all your talks, Adam, but some of them, like today's, make me feel like starting a (safely contained) fire outside and screaming "YES!" at the sky and dancing in agreement to your words. I couldn't help but think of the CJung quote: “We no longer live on what we have, but on promises, no longer in the present day, but in the darkness of the future, which, we expect, will, at last, bring the proper sunrise. We refuse to recognize that everything better is purchased at the price of something worse; that, for example, the hope of greater freedom is canceled out by increased enslavement to the state, not to speak of the terrible perils to which the most brilliant discoveries of science expose us. The less we understand of what our [forebears] sought, the less we understand ourselves, and thus we help with all our might to rob the individual of his roots and his guiding instincts, so that he becomes a particle in the mass, ruled only by what Nietzsche called the spirit of gravity.”

[@schophi]

Wow. This Jung quote is amazing!

[@philmickraken2]

Loved your description of Saturn as not simply limitations, but as the gate keeper between the old and the new.

[@maylay_rising]

Christopher McCandless. Who Emil Hirsch played in the film into the wild, was actually an Aquarius. Society!

[@brianesmond6563]

There's more to Pluto and Aquarius historically, epistemologically, and ontologically than I thought of before!

[@kirstenrobertson271]

I am watching the sun set through the forest while listening. Really great talk. Loved it.

[@hglatGAIA]

It is so interesting how our perspectives change over time with the Geocentric to Heliocentric models. I think Aquarius will blow open a whole range of new ideas which are sorely needed in order to establish a better equilibrium to auger in a Golden Age which I am sure we are actually headed for although right now it seems the opposite. Thanks Adam!

[@em5211]

Coming from a Cap sun, Aqua rising, I loveeee when you talk about Saturn. I truly feel you as a cap moon. I could listen to your perspective on Saturn all day : )

[@sarah-anneperry6932]

"A book to grab" would be such a gem. With all the stories you've collected from your viewers, there'd be material to create a book for a good amount of transit with different stories that manifested from them. This would be a great way to learn and extend our knowledge on the micro effects of transits.

[@venusrevive132]

🌈🌕♍️💫🙏 Oh my! ❤Thank You for saying all of this to everyone!🦋

[@denammoskowitz3589]

I just finished reading the fantasy novel, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke and the themes resonated with the transits. Magic leaving our world and a lonely other world full of statues and tides.

[@FreemanPresson]

This is one of your best, Adam, which is saying a lot. I need to up my Mundane game, seeing how it informs our ability to fit personal stories into their context.

[@siennabigg3644]

“Society!”🤣 I love this! Now I say it too ✊😂

[@janemay639]

It’s interesting you mention the way things get marginalized in the process of adopting progress, I was just thinking about the way that a lot of the tension between archetypes in the zodiac or in accepting the dualities in life come from how we have a way of learning, adapting, and adopting new things by making them fixtures, rules, or roles. And that is an important part of the learning process. We need those useful boundaries. At the same time, that can create rigidity that keeps us stuck on one track, where there is so much more to discover, and many other important facets and values that need acknowledgment and integration. Sometimes, we need to buckle down; sometimes, we need to be fluid. We have a finite amount of time in our lifetime, so much to learn, and so much work to be done. It’s no wonder we struggle so much. I think a lot of wisdom might be learning a sense of timing; what is called for, and when. Of course we all have predispositions (based on our chart/karma) and roles to play. But we grow when we make an effort to become more well rounded. It’s funny how that procession is almost like a reflection of our understanding and measurement of time, itself. How we relate to it, too. It’s amazing how beautifully engineered and intertwined all of existence is.

[@cuppatea7258]

Wow, thanks for sharing these insights❣️🙏🏽

[@lesliewagner6744]

this was excellent- and uplifting- I'm excited for the unfolding....

[@onewomancircus]

I wonder if the school protests in the UK are a Plutonian theme? Personally I think it's positive that young people are standing up for themselves around rules that don't make sense (such as having bathrooms locked during lessons). Adults can use the bathroom when they need to so why shouldn't children and young people? #grabbed

[@lauracivitello4242]

@WhammyWhammy We were doing all these same things 50 years ago. No excuse to deny such a basic human need.

[@cherylannfulton5448]

Thank you for another wonderful lesson. I enjoyed and appreciated the historical comparison. I also got some new ways of looking at Saturn.

[@chloeehlers4900]

Wonderful discussion, thank you, for sharing. I find this time to be healing, especially in how I relate to my subconscious/shadow self, rightfully so as Pluto dances over my 4th house/venus while making a tight square to my ascendant, for the next two years. I had this dream, earlier this week, I was asleep with my husband next to me and this shadow figure came in and shot my husband in the hip and left just as quickly as it came. My husband was bleeding profusely, but it wasn’t a mortal wound. This shadowy shoot from the hip character is me, and after a long period of fearing her, I finally feel ready to listen and work with her. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, thank you!

[@maureenstaszewski7834]

Great lecture. Both of the malefic share mutual reception in my chart. I love Saturn. He’s kicked my ass and taught me well.

[@pragmaticpoet]

Are we each ordained? Anything can be used to leverage seeking to feel superior to others to feel safe 😇

[@Bridget_S]

Excellent talk again. Thanks so much Adam.

[@beenes3239]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. A great balanced assessment of these transitions. My head is spinning with thoughts.

[@sharono.7491]

Brilliant!!

[@kristinalugo7893]

Thanks, Adam

[@coosje6860]

Thanks Adam. I always hear you say SOCIETY, when you say society. So funny

[@KJSullivan4601]

Thank you it was fascinating! What sprang to mind with the 5 things that could get marginalised during the march of 'progress' are such depth expressions of what it is to be human. So much to reflect on...

[@DstarAstrology]

12:43 thank u for saying that i agree

[@gyongyifarago7934]

Thank you for this work and giving us all this amazing info.. wry enlightening.

[@timothyhoran9521]

Adam, I enjoyed your talk today. I found it quite thought provoking especially the 5 points at the conclusion. What might become marginalized. It would be a step back if this new period of progress marginalized our blossoming understandings of the heart, mind and soul. What it truly means to live on a living planet, Gaia, in a living universe knowing that everything is connected.

[@UranusAscending]

17:59 lol. Maybe collective consciousness or zeitgeist instead of society? Anyway, I love laughing with you ❤ Ooh, did I just wordsmith as mentioned in one of your other recent videos? 😁

[@schophi]

Thank you Adam. I learn a lot from your videos. I especially loved the way you talked about Saturn not as being the stereotypical 'bad' planet, but as it carrying and bringing it's own high wisdom and power. I can definitely see how Pluto in Aquarius will mark the shift towards a new world of technology: AI, Virtual Reality, etc. That there could be this movement towards an almost 'cyberpunk' like reality. On a positive side, these new technologies could usher in an almost utopian new reality, if we learn to harmonize them in relation to the Earth and nature. Of course the bad side would be even more disconnection as we move more into an almost exclusively digital, virtual world. Maybe we will also see more of a split between these two tendencies, with some people going in a more technological direction and the other side going into a more naturalistic direction. I would also be interested in maybe hearing your reflections on the way that Pluto in Capricorn has impacted the world during the last decades, if you have any thoughts on that.

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

thanks so much!!

[@cateporive9872]

I have just recently had the embodied epiphany that a new paradigm/ epistemology is really called for so that we can engage the experiential realm we call life on earth with new thought patterns rather than the default system western standardized languages with syntactic rules falls into. As I study and contemplate I come to the undeniable step of moving into the realm of the symbolic because it is fluid and while qualitatively can be "categorized" it requires the active engagement of sentient beings to become phenomenal (strictly speaking). So the symbolic is non standardized yet shared through interaction in which meaning is emergent. I found it very interesting that in this talk you touch on this very theme of epistemological relevance. Wonderful talk!

[@brendahunt1682]

Excellent presentation Adam 👍riveting

[@veronicaoldland7834]

Thank you for sharing this view. It is so important to stay in touch with our intuitive higher self that is within. Blessings, Vv

Loved this, thanks.

[@mouksb2000]

Love your 2 part series on this. ,so revelatory....so much expansion and contraction to navigate....it will be a time of great polarity....n possibility....such is the Aquarian spirit

[@carlucci7777]

Curious if you have a take on the implications of Pluto into Aquarius specifically for the millennial generation. Born during Pluto's final retrograde into Libra has required exposure to the Pluto squares to Pluto and Saturn in Libra the past few years, however, many friends older and younger by a few years have Pluto (and Saturn) in Scorpio - squares upcoming, and Pluto transits are said to be "generational". Would love to get your impression. Many blessings and thanks for the great work!

[@RadioPsychicAstrologyByPepper]

Aaron - would love to chat with you on these topics! I'm writing a series of books on the Pluto generations and how they have effects on another just as Pluto does each one... Been working on this throughout my own chaotic planetary and personal cluster funt since 2016... Please email me if you would be interested in talking to me for this because for the many many interviews I've done thus far, Pluto Libra is the one that seems to be least talkative which sucks being that's my own Pluto as well! I've been an astrologer professionally since 1990 and am a counselor and work with crisis intervention, trauma, and end of life/hospice as well....

[@RadioPsychicAstrologyByPepper]

"I'll never forget when I was in the Amazon in the jungle drinking Ayahuasca..." If I have to redo life after this one, I might hope to come in mid to late PISCES Pluto so that I can hear that sentence again as a small child at the knee of Great Uncle Adam sitting by the fireplace with my future parents and siblings... Might be a favorite future memory if I have to redo..

[@araujobrisa]

"Divination as a way of knowing" is actually not incompatible with the way AI models work... which is finding patterns to "predict" a future state. So maybe there's something more than astrology or any other methods being forgotten - it might be that we're entering a period where our own notions of fate and destiny (and the anxiety that they might carry) are guided by predictions found in complex data patterns, as interpreted by machines that learn (machine learning is one of the most popular disciplines in AI). With that, my question: how much is it that those types of wisdom are forgotten? Or is it that aquarius brings other paradigms to societal mysticism? A new epistemology, you say... that might just be it.

[@schophi]

You said that McKenna has a strong Aquarian signature in his birth chart. I see that he has no planets whatsoever in Aquarius, but a first house stellium in Scorpio. Did you maybe mean to say that? I could see how his Scorpio signature would make him interested in digging deep into the past, the deep unconscious and the indigenous wisdom associated with that.

[@jerseystotler3615]

Actually into society is quite funny if you saw those shows!!! You made me laugh!!!

I really cannot say the word "society" in conversations anymore without giggling!

We can use science and progres to protect Earth. To use the masculin energy of the mind to protect the feminine.🙏

[@hglatGAIA]

Perhaps the word humanity instead of society? The works of Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy might enlighten people too about where Saturn comes from, the old sun I think?...anyway there's a lot of astrological wisdoms in his works on the YT channel that can be found under his name with a guy called Dale whose beautiful rich voice lends potency to his works.

[@lyndaweston]

May prove to be the end of the Anthropocene.

[@DiariosdeHyle]

I think much of the new era dichotomy will be in terms of whats only human VS what are the possible expansions of the machine. AI could write the best poems but it will never experience what it means to create art. AI could create the best chart readings but it will never experience what it feels to live a spiritual life. I can feel an inmense expansion of deep spirituality... and an inmense expansion of great engineering.... The depth vs the genious.

Maybe we get an opportunity to negatively judge because we've always been presented with the opportunity to transcend that into lets say christ consciousness. Non-judgment. Love based instend of fear based. A budda or Jesus or Kwan yin etc etc.

I'd look to a major escalation towards WW3 (if not the start of it) from the time Pluto enters Aquarius Mar 23 to Mar 30 (when Mars trines Saturn). Just my own schizo prediction...lol.

[@AstonishedonEarth]

2nd reference in my life this week of into the wild, other was the final conclusion in the book. Perhaps we will see reappreciation of people, a change in how we view society, perhaps you will come up with a new word? Perhaps look to the ancients, typically India though it doesn’t get the credit. “Happiness is only real when shared”. Food for thought en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society#:~:text=The%20term%20%22society%22%20came%20from,friendly%2C%20or%20at%20least%20civil.
