Pluto in Aquarius

Let me preface this by saying that I am NOT an expert in any of this. As of late I’ve really been drawn to learning as much as I can about myself in all aspects which includes Astrology and Human Design. I don’t feel comfortable enough in my knowledge of either topic to harp on either one of those, but I still want to talk about it!

Change spooks me the hell out; I ruminate on all of the ways things can go horribly wrong and can easily send myself into a frenzy just by one “what if”. Call me what you want: a worry wart, anxious, nervous nelly, yadda yadda. They all point to the same thing — the fear of the unknown makes me shake in my boots.

As I get older (and through the support of my wonderful therapist) I’m learning that all of that is wrapped into my need for control. Because I cannot control the future, I fixate on it; trying to use patterns and the stars to tell me what’s going to happen next. And as you can assume, none of that works — no matter how much I research, or try to find explanations it’s painfully clear that I simply don’t have the answers.

This can’t be anymore obvious then with this major transit taking place tonight, where we move from Pluto in Capricorn to Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto likes to take her time and due to her slow moving ways, we will be spending 20 years (until 2044) in Aqua. By the time Pluto decides to visit Pisces, I’ll be double grown — hella seasoned if you will. From the little bit that I do know, this transit will be a mover and a shaker, bringing immense change and upheaval to what we currently know (and if Human Design is correct 2027 is really when the table begins to shake, but that’s another conversation for another day).

And isn’t that ~~frightening~~ err exciting? Just from every day life, we know that things change. We know that through the passage of time, shifts in technology and government and social movements and communities are bound to happen but the hippies have been talking about the Age of Aquarius since lord knows when and I’m just like… I sure do hope it’s as positive as they believed.

On a real note, I’ve really made a lot of progress in terms of my anxiety (especially in these last couple of years) and though this transition and all of the talk around it can be nerve wracking — I am excited. As per usual, I don’t have a complete thought on any of this lololol but I do have two wishes:

A peaceful transition into this new age for all of us and
That we and our loved ones are able to grab life by the horns and ride out this truly magical time with full health, pure love, and sound minds.

I’m nervous, because well that’s my natural disposition, but I’m hyped too. Time will move on and continue regardless if we’re ready for it or not. We can’t control what all happens in the world but we can control how we react to it: may we react to the next 20 years and beyond with wonderment and hope like a certain someone that we all know and love who once told us “brace yourself“
