Pluto in Aquarius + the Apocalyptic Imagination
Recorded in December 2024
Includes Video Recording + PDF of slides
Video run time: 2 hours, 35 minutes
Apocalypse comes from the Greek word for revelation. Pluto in Capricorn(2008-2024) revealed a need for personal and collective reckoning with issues of systemic power, supremacist culture and questions of what is and is not sustainable. Pluto made its final entrance into Aquarius on November 17, 2024, where it will remain for 20 years, revealing a new thematic series of required excavations.
This lecture and discussion underscore our position as integral parts of a larger whole, collaborating in a world undergoing layers of collapse and rebirth. In it, we explore potentials, possibilities and pitfalls of Pluto-in-Aquarius-style revelation and depth work, summoning Pluto as a root metaphor for the psycho-spiritual processes at play during times of upheaval and transformation while [re]acquainting ourselves with imagination as a vital technology of consciousness.
In addition to surveying history for glimpses of archetypal and concrete potentials, the lecture illuminates ways insights and frameworks of astrology, depth psychology, deep ecology and deep time can reconnect us with the imagination as a fundamental organ of perception, creativity and necessary innovation.
This lecture will include a breakdown of the archetypes of Aquarius and Pluto as well as cover some astrological alignments, dates and historical correlates. It is, however, largely inspired by a vision for a participatory and relational astrology that puts more emphasis on how to engage astrology as living prophecy, not prediction.
