Cosmic Love

On October 14th Pluto is stationary direct at 1°21′ Aquarius. See where this falls in your own birthchart and remember that it will be very slow moving through Aquarius, until January 2044, and so will be deeply transforming the matters connected to the ‘house’ area of your chart that it is moving through for many years to come.

However, the station of an outer planet is always important as an explanation mark, a magnification of the symbolism. Pluto is the planet of power and transformation, and out-of-bounds to the south until November 23rd has some clear messages. One I have talked about a lot recently (and indeed since Pluto began to enter Aquarius in 2023) is the shift of power to the people, a potential shift in the locus of power. The out-of-bounds to the south emphasises that right now, as even by our day-to-day choices we can step into the sovereignty that is our birthright that I don’t think any of us have truly lived in this lifetime up to now.

Other themes that I was talking about in 2023 (see my Pluto in Aquarius video from then) was that we were going to see an awful lot of the ‘out there, out there’, and given the activity in the cosmos right now this is already being fulfilled.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of earthquakes, and Pluto is intensifying that energy, so it is extremely clear that this is one of the most seismically active years on record so far – with another two and a half months to go. Also that we would be entering paradigm-shattering times, starting now and running until 2044. We are in this energy right now.

So everything that is happening ‘out there’ is also happening for us all ‘in here’, in our own systems and energy fields. Aquarius is to do with the electrical system of the body, and many of us are feeling very significant shifts in our biology already. I believe that the changes ‘out there’ are igniting these biological shifts, as everything is fractal, the microcosm reflects the macrocosm.

Try to go beyond the deafening drama, distraction and polarisation in the world now. Focus on where you want to get to, and how these cosmic energies are accelerating our evolution. I profoundly believe that these energies are bringing more love, a wave of love, onto our planet – but our radios have to be tuned to the ‘love’ radio station to hear it. I know many of you are feeling this strongly as a kind of unifying cosmic love. I am feeling that deeply too, and it feels emotional and sometimes overwhelming.

It is highly noteworthy that Uranus is not only conjunct Sedna, dwarf planet of metamorphosis right now, and continuing until 2027, but Uranus is the planet of awakening and higher consciousness, and is also igniting the Pleiades. This is a group of 7 stars in our heavens at between 29° Taurus and 0° Gemini, exactly where Uranus will be transiting over the next year. The Pleiades are known as the Seven Sisters linked to cosmic love.

Pluto will continue to move forwards in Aquarius on its paradigm-shattering path from now on, continuing to move direct until early May 2026. These will be powerfully transformative months for us all, but we optimise these changes by being open to love, a unity consciousness, and a recognition that we are each a divine spark of the cosmos. Everything happening out there is also happening within us, and rapidly. Many people are already sensing that our biology is becoming more crystalline.

Our focus and attention matter more than ever in these fast-changing times. My suggestion is that we go beyond the noise of the old scenery collapsing and we focus what we want to see more of in our lives: peace, joy, sharing, and coming together as a force for love, and the highest good of all and of Gaia. Then we will be truly co-creating with the cosmos in the best way possible – all the ingredients are there for us right now.

We’re welcoming in an ever-expanding consciousness of love. This sense of spaciousness and expansion leads inevitably to our experience of unity consciousness. Welcome it in with open arms and open hearts.

Blessings to you all.
