Last Monday was the 4th of July here in the United States, a “birthday” for the Nation. Today is my own father’s birthday, Happy birthday, Dad!
This Monday is another important day for the USA, in that it is the day of the country’s Pluto return. Pluto will return to 27 degrees and 33 minutes retrograde, the exact Pluto placement in the chart for the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
In today’s horoscope, I will go over the USA’s Pluto return chart and then the daily forecast. If you want, you may skip this next section and go straight to the forecast. But, for the Astro-nerds out there, let’s dive into the Astrology of the USA’s Pluto Return!
USA’s Pluto Return
Here is a chart of the Pluto Return for the USA, (it’s kind of like a Solar return, except we’re using Pluto as the returning planet):
The first thing I see, and something that’s very important, is that Pluto is in Capricorn in the tenth house! Pluto in Mundane astrology can represent many things: change and regeneration, the birth/death rate of a country/nation, political undergrounds, espionage, organized crime, wealth, power, control, violence, rape, hidden information, mob psychology, and even the collective unconscious of a nation.
The tenth house represents people in power, the government, reputation, credit, and the public employment rate.
Capricorn symbolizes hard work, achievement, goal-oriented strategy, diligence, ambition, isolation, conservativeness, structure, and efficiency of resources.
Put these things together and I think we are looking at big changes to the reputation of the USA, possibly a changing birth/death rate that is extreme in some way, and a metamorphosis of the government as we know it. The USA will be working diligently and ambitiously over the next 246 years as this marks the beginning of a new Pluto cycle, the next Pluto return for the USA being in 2268, if the United States lasts that long.
One thing I know about Pluto is that when it makes a dynamic transit to a chart, there is an irrevocable change that cannot be stopped. Once the hands of fate are set in motion, they have to do their bidding. So, with Pluto in the tenth, we will see MAJOR change in the United States.
Let’s look at the aspects affecting Pluto…
Pluto is in a sextile with Neptune in Pisces.
Neptune in Mundane astrology symbolizes socialism, communism, fraud, loss, illusion, the spirituality of a country, and the addictions afflicting the people of the nation.
Pisces flavors Neptune with these qualities: compassion, psychicness, creativity, spirituality, escapism, dreaminess, subjectivity, imagination, and non-discrimination.
Neptune is located in the 12th house of hospitals, prisons, asylums, secrets, secret societies, occult religions, and hidden things.
A sextile between Pluto and Neptune symbolizes these two forces working in harmony to create an opportunity to merge these energies. Since these two planets are generational planets, meaning that because of their slow movement through the ecliptic they affect generations of people at the same time and so, this won’t be felt on a personal level, but by the country as a whole. Because it’s Neptune we can look to the media to see clues as to what this is, but since Neptune is in the 12th house, we will be looking for hidden clues…probably in the form of propaganda. So, be very cautious about what you hear and see via the media.
There is so much to unpack in this return chart…
But, basically, this is what I see…
I see that there will be big changes to the United States as we know it. The people will cling to the beliefs that they have and their ideals, but it won’t stop the changes.
The military may get involved with Mars on the ascendant and there could be war or violence, but with Mars debilitated in Taurus, it’s hard to know what will happen.
There is a hidden foreign presence, represented by Jupiter in Aries in the twelfth, that through our financial, legal, and educational systems is trying to take control of the country. With Jupiter applying to Chiron, this foreign entity is trying to strike the USA where it has its wounds… its ego, identity, and independence.
With Saturn in Aquarius in the 11th house, we can expect to have even more control and restriction placed on the internet, social media, and social groups, networks, and organizations, but Saturn is also the great teacher and so, we will learn many things through these tests and hopefully become more responsible.
Our most valuable asset, through Venus in Gemini in the second house, is our personal information.
With the Sun and Mercury both in Cancer and Mercury combust (being so close to the Sun), our communication systems may be broken or unreliable in some way and we may depend on the President or people in authority to give us the information. We may not be able to trust this and so we will turn to local groups with common beliefs for reliable communication.
Well, that was a big channeling session! For the sake of brevity, I am going to stop there— for now. I may come back to this in future newsletters because there is so much.
Moving onto the forecast for today…
On a more personal level, the Moon in Sagittarius today is full of fiery energy that could inspire us to have some sort of adventure, either in our minds, by exploring vast subject matter, or physically, by going on a trip. Whichever is on the agenda today, have fun! The Moon in Sagittarius is usually a time for laughter, spontaneity, and new experiences.
The Moon is also making an opposition to Venus in Gemini, and then a square to Neptune in Pisces. We may have something come up where we have to make a choice between what we believe to be true and what the actual hard facts tell us. It may be harder than you think to make this decision, since our judgment could feel cloudy, so trust your gut and do what feels right and is in alignment with your values.
With the Sun and Mercury in Cancer getting closer together, Mercury is only 6 degrees away from being conjunct the Sun and is combust, meaning that the Sun’s light is so bright that we can’t see Mercury. What this symbolically means is that we can’t receive the messages that Mercury is sending. So, communication could get funky for the next two to three weeks, as Mercury passes through this space. Just try to be as clear as possible when you are communicating and understand that no one is getting much help from Mercury in this debilitated condition, and our messages could get lost, or not be received at all! But, Mercury is moving fast, and so we can expect fast changes in areas such as home and family over the next three weeks.
As I said in the 5-day forecast, the theme for this week is resources. Today is a good day to get a head start taking stock of your resources, especially your spiritual, emotional, and physical energy levels. Remember to check the tangible ones like money, gas, and food, as well. It’s a good time to get clear on what your priorities are, and what they aren’t.
The card for the day is:
Page of Pentacles
The Page of Pentacles represents taking on new responsibilities in your life in matters like money, home, and anything that is tangible. He is trustworthy, responsible, and offers his assistance.
I feel like this card is a reminder for us to be like the Page of Pentacles to ourselves, in our own lives. By acting in a practical, responsible way today, we are able to trust that our endeavors will be fruitful.
I hope this horoscope and tarot reading are helpful!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
