Pluto & Transformation

As the United States approaches the final days of its first-ever Pluto return—a 248-year astrological cycle that began in 2019 and ends in January 2025—this moment invites reflection on both personal and collective transformation. Pluto's archetype symbolizes depth, power, destruction, and rebirth, echoing its discovery during the upheavals of the 1930s, from the Great Depression to the rise of totalitarian regimes, and breakthroughs in psychology and science. Archetypal Astrology offers a unique lens to "see through" the literal events of our lives, revealing their mythic and imaginal dimensions. By cultivating an "archetypal eye," as described by post-Jungian psychologist James Hillman, we can engage with life's deeper currents, navigating challenges with greater clarity and purpose. Join us as we explore the profound themes of Pluto, its archetypal energy, and the lessons of America's Pluto return.
