Perhaps the biggest news in astrology right now is that Pluto is entering Aquarius on November 19, where it will remain for the next twenty years. The last time Pluto moved into Aquarius, in the late 1700s, revolution left its mark on history.

One needn’t stretch the imagination to see how our current global climate might be ripening for breeding revolt amongst the people. Yet one might also reflect on if we are any further along, or much better off, for the battles that have taken place on Earth. Sticks have turned into axes … have turned into muskets … have turned into automatic rifles and drones. Man is as set in his opinions and beliefs as ever before, and ready to fight those who do not side with him.

While many of us do enjoy a freedom and ease of living that those who came before us did not, as a whole, humanity is still immersed in a paradigm that pits us against each other. Each of us views reality through the lens of separatism, to some degree or another. Aquarius is the sign associated with sudden, quantum leaps of consciousness. It’s worth considering then if a more dynamic and consequential revolution this time around can take place somewhere other than the physical plane. While individuals, political parties, and nations squabble, science is revealing that
space and time are not the basis of reality after all.

The discovery that there is something more beneath physical reality resonates with Pluto’s mission to unearth deeper truths and strip away illusions while Aquarius attunes us to envisioning a future that is not yet accepted, or even understood, by the masses. Perhaps the Aquarian revolution that is about to take place is a life-altering paradigm shift. We are certainly entering a new era of groundbreaking discoveries that dismantle traditional models of reality and have the potential not simply to accelerate our evolution, but to wake us up from our very ideas of it.
