Part of the reason we are experiencing such dramatic personal and collective upheaval is that we are on the threshold of a major interaction between Uranus and Pluto, the two change agents of the astrological system. Next year, we start a series of seven exact contacts (which I will address in depth in future columns), but this summer Uranus and Pluto gave us a preview of things to come. When they make contact, we experience shift—whether we like it or not. Most of the movements we recognize as progress toward social justice have their activists' roots planted firmly in Uranus/Pluto cycles.
The current Uranus-Pluto cycle began with in the 1960s, and no one needs to be reminded of just how much that period of time changed the world. The conjunction was exact three times from October 1965-66. And here's where astrology gets interesting—just prior to those exact conjunctions, there was also a Jupiter/Pluto trine, with Jupiter, also in Taurus, the sign it's in, now. And the red threads associated with movements for social justice that occurred fifty years ago are the same red threads we are currently trying to transform.
