This year, though, the cosmos is inspiring those of us who follow astrology to reflect on the karma of the founding fathers. This week, for the first time since the founding of our nation, Pluto returns to its exact location in the sky as on the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. It will also ping this point in space a few times this year.
When you look at the symbolic nature of this, Pluto is the god of the underworld, the place where we experience a dark night, heal our karma, and in turn are reborn.
On the day the Declaration of Independence was signed, these men turned around and continued living out of alignment with the very truths they had declared. They continued to enslave Africans, slaughter Native Americans, and destroy a land that didn’t belong to them, creating a whole lot of dark karma.
The lead up of Pluto pinging 27 degrees Capricorn this week started back in 2008 when it first entered Capricorn and the economy collapsed. What has happened since then?
10 years ago Trayvon Martin was slaughtered and his killer got away with it, giving birth to the Black Lives Matter movement calling out racism and racial inequality.
We’ve also had the Me Too movement calling out misogyny.
We’ve made gay marriage legal through the Marriage Equality Act.
We’ve had the Standing Rock protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline, calling out the oppression of Native American communities.
Then there was the election of Trump who is the ultimate embodiment of America’s dark side, bringing to light that we still have a long way to go to heal the karma of this country.
And over the past two years the pandemic continued to amplify this karma, dividing us instead of uniting us.
We are at a pivotal point. Do we take the momentum of the good that’s come out of these past 14 years and continue working to make this karma whole?
Or do we double down on the patterns that destroy our democracy and end up losing the very freedoms the original presidents claimed they stood for?
It’s time to make our country whole.
At this very moment, there are school systems refusing to teach about slavery, the holocaust, and the massacre of the Native Americans. How can we evolve if we don’t understand the past?
The systems at play want us to be divided. Political parties, the tech industry, communication and media, religions, economics, dark conspiracy theories created to distract us from the truth are all in play to trick us into taking sides and in turn shaming the other side until they are deemed unworthy.
When we consciously choose to unplug from these systems, we remember that we’re all created equal in the eyes of the divine, god/goddess, source, however you relate to the greater whole.
This country was founded on the premise that anyone escaping oppression could come here to carve out a life of liberty. We’ve come far, but there is still quite a ways to go for us to reach the point where we can say that we do indeed live according to these values.
It’s time to create equality through healing our land and waters, through meeting the basic needs of every human being, through remembering that we are all equal.
