The Last Time Pluto was in Aquarius: Lessons from History and Implications for the Future ๐๐๐ฆ
And ofc, I asked chatGPT his thoughts on its existence and the link with the transit.
Pluto, the planet of power, deep subconscious issues and transformation has entered the sign of Aquarius on March 23, 2023. ๐ซ This is a SIGNIFICANT transit which has pretty much always marked periods of radical societal upheavals, from revolutions to globalisation.

In this article, I have explored the influence of Pluto during its transits in the past 200 years, and it is pretty mind-blowing. Then I put my thoughts on the current passage into the sign of Aquarius (associated with technology, independence, humanitarian activities), what it could mean in our day and age and how it could impact us at an individual level. Indeed, any transit affecting us collectively, also impacts us at an individual level but differently. In order to find out, you need to know your chart - you can find me here to discuss and read the last horoscope paragraph.
๐ I have asked chatGPT if it thinks that its existence (AI) was an illustration of Pluto in Aquarius and this is what he responded in both French and English ๐
Before we start and just to be precise - Pluto Transit Dates
Planet transit through a trajectory which is called the โorbitโ and can go back and forth into the previous sign before getting all in into their new energy. The transit of Pluto in Aquarius has begun on March 23, 2023, and will last until June 11, 2023. The transit will then briefly return to Capricorn from June 12, 2023, to January 28, 2024, before finally returning to Aquarius on January 29, 2024. Pluto will remain in Aquarius until January 20, 2044.
So what happened 200 years ago, last time Pluto was in Aquarius ?
To better understand the significance of this celestial event, I took the time to reflect on the historical events which happened when Pluto transited signs looking at the past 200 years, starting with last time it was in Aquarius, from January 1778 to March 1798. I am sure those dates ring a bell ? Perhaps a revolutionary one ? Well, wait until you see the other transits periods, I am telling you Astrology is so accurate.
Liberty Leading the People by Eugรจne de la Croix
So from January 1778 to March 1798, significant historical events occurred, including:
American Revolutionary War: The American colonies fought for their independence from Great Britain, which ultimately led to the formation of the United States.
French Revolution: The people of France overthrew the monarchy and established a republic, which had a profound impact on politics and society in Europe.
Industrial Revolution: The development of new technologies and manufacturing processes led to significant economic and social changes, including the rise of urbanization and the emergence of the modern capitalist economy.
Enlightenment: There was a surge of intellectual and cultural activity during this period, characterized by a focus on reason, science, and individualism.
To continue on other Plutonian transits and historical events :
Pluto in Sagittarius (1995-2008): Sag is linked with higher studies, foreign affaires, travels and philosophies. This transit saw significant developments in technology and globalization, with the rise of the internet and the increasing interconnectedness of the world. This period also saw major political and social changes, including the end of apartheid in South Africa, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Pluto in Scorpio (1983-1995): Scorpio is linked power games, obsession, all dark related stuff, sexuality, taboos and control (amongst others) and this transit saw a rise of corporate greed, the war on drugs, and the AIDS epidemic. This period was also marked by significant cultural changes, including the emergence of hip hop and the grunge movement.
Pluto in Libra (1971-1983): Libra focuses on relationships, harmony and peace and this transit saw a growing emphasis on civil rights and equal opportunities. This period saw major advancements in women's rights, including the Roe v. Wade decision and the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Pluto in Virgo (1957-1971): Virgo is linked with health, efficiency and work, with the rise of the baby boom generation and the development of new technologies and industries. This period also saw major social and political changes, including the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War.
Pluto in Leo (1938-1957): Leo is linked with kingdom, leadership and ego. The transit saw a significant political and social upheaval, including the rise of fascism and World War II. This period also saw major cultural changes, including the Golden Age of Hollywood and the emergence of rock and roll.
You could go on and on. Isnโt it crazy?
So what can we expect for us NOW?
During the last transit of Pluto in Aquarius, we saw significant changes in government, society, and technology. The Age of Enlightenment was in full swing, and thinkers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Benjamin Franklin were challenging traditional beliefs and advocating for human rights and liberty. Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution was changing the way people worked and lived, leading to both prosperity and inequality. The American Revolution saw the birth of a new nation, while the French Revolution brought an end to the monarchy and paved the way for a more democratic society.
However, these changes were not without their costs. The French Revolution, in particular, was marked by violence, terror, and political instability. The Reign of Terror saw the execution of thousands of people, while Napoleon's rise to power and subsequent conquests led to even more bloodshed. The American Revolution also had its share of violence and conflict, including the Revolutionary War and the treatment of Native Americans and African slaves.
SO Pluto in Aquarius could be another time of challenging the premises of our societies (democracy?). The transit brings with it themes of innovation, independence, and technology. We will be challenged to embrace new ways of thinking, working, and living in order to move forward. Aquarius is a sign that is associated with individuality, originality, and independence. Under the influence of Pluto, these qualities will be amplified, and we will be pushed to explore new horizons and to break free from old patterns and limitations. This can be a time of great personal growth and transformation if we are willing to embrace the changes that come our way.
This time, it could mean:
Founding our own community as a way to resist the current political polarization : The last few years have seen an increase in political polarization and division around the world. This trend could continue, leading to more gridlock and dysfunction in government and society. But Aquarius teach us to see beyond colors, races, genders, ages, in order to find the tribes we resonate with, without the need to base our interactions on external traits, but rather on humanitarian values. And this could be pretty amazing!
Using tech to solve Climate change: The next few decades are likely to see continued effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and displacement of people. Of course, this could lead to conflicts over resources and increased migration, with significant geopolitical implications. But what if we could solve it with technology?
On a more lower frequencies, this could lead to the rise of authoritarianism: The last few years have seen the rise of authoritarian leaders in countries such as Russia, China, and Turkey. This trend could continue, leading to a rollback of democratic institutions and a more repressive society. But we are here to resist. Arenโt we?
Riots against the pensions reforms in France and against Macron government.

As an Astrologer for 50+ years and was on staff with Carroll Righter and Manley Palmer Hal,l my take on Pluto in Aquarius is this.
Democracy will become the go to philosopy. People already in Iran are rebelling against a fake tyranny
Theosophy. Chinese young called for an end of the Communist party and Xi Ping to resign! There will indeed a modern "enlightenment". as tyrants drop away and the youth born with Pluto in Sag. and Capricorn.
In 1985 Manlley Halll held a lecture about Pluto coming into Scorpio and said "Nazis will be incarnating" Well look around. There werent many Nazis in Germany 4-5 million. They are brief but we wiped them out once so expect the same. DEMOCRACY rules and will continue even stronger.. Pluto will usher in a new thinking that will dispute hate and truely bring a loving world.
