| a long astro ramble about Pluto, Neptune, Uranus & the strange poetry of history |

I'd like to share this idea with you; it came to me when I was wondering how I would prove the scientific validity and authenticity of astrology if I were a researcher. I've seen this topic discussed before, but I'd like to contribute my thoughts.

"Sometimes I think astrology isn’t really about us at all - it’s about time.

The inner planets tell us who we are.

The outer planets tell us when we are."

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that no individual can “own” them.

They describe the collective psyche, the mood that hums in the background of an era,

the kind of stories we tell,

the kinds of gods we build and destroy.

🌐 The Hypothesis

If Mercury describes a thought, Pluto describes an epoch.

If Venus tells you how you love, Neptune tells you what your generation believes in.

And Uranus? That’s the way your people break things - the sacred kind of rebellion that cracks open the next world.

So here’s a tour through the last century or so - what the outer planets were doing,

and how the world mirrored their signatures like ink on a cosmic page.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

✴️ 1940s–1957: Pluto in Leo, Neptune in Libra, Uranus in Gemini-Cancer-Leo

Theme: Rebirth, glamour, peace, and the invention of “personality.”

Post-war reconstruction. Cinema and pop culture bloom.

The self becomes the project: fashion, fame, personal radiance.

Television turns the human face into religion.

Pluto in Leo craves creative power - the “Me Generation” is born.

Neptune in Libra dreams of peace and fairness after the world burned.

Uranus in Gemini-Cancer gives us new media, communication revolutions, and the suburban family ideal.

This generation gave us rock ’n’ roll, advertising, Hollywood mythology - and the first teenagers who said: I am the main character.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

🌾 1957-1972: Pluto in Virgo, Neptune in Scorpio, Uranus in Virgo-Libra

Theme: Analysis, healing, and quiet revolutions in systems.

After the Leo fireworks came Virgo’s clean-up crew.

Work, health, ecology, service - the counterculture wanted to fix what power had broken.

Pluto in Virgo dissects the system; Neptune in Scorpio spiritualizes the shadow.

Psychology, therapy, holistic medicine, environmentalism - all born here.

Uranus crossing Virgo into Libra rewires our ideas of equality, gender, and work.

This was the age that invented self-help.

The spiritualization of science began here - the microscope became a mirror.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

⚖️ 1972-1984: Pluto in Libra, Neptune in Sagittarius, Uranus in Libra-Scorpio

Theme: Relationship revolutions, moral experiments, the global dream.

The children of divorce and diplomacy.

They grew up negotiating everything - identity, gender, justice.

Pluto in Libra tore down old contracts; marriage became optional, gender became fluid.

Neptune in Sagittarius dreamed of unity through philosophy, religion, travel.

The world opened up - air travel, television satellites, and the first whispers of globalism.

This was the New Age: everyone was seeking.

And Uranus moving through Libra into Scorpio brought that electric tension between intimacy and independence.

Love turned into a laboratory.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

🦂 1984-1995: Pluto in Scorpio, Neptune in Capricorn, Uranus in Sagittarius-Capricorn-Aquarius

Theme: Power, systems, secrecy, and the first digital pulse.

Pluto in Scorpio rips off the masks.

Sex, death, psychology, taboo - everything hidden comes out.

Neptune in Capricorn idealizes structure: corporations become gods, money becomes meaning.

Uranus in Sagittarius and Capricorn engineers the infrastructure for globalization and the internet.

The Cold War dies.

The world merges under capitalism.

The occult and the hacker are born at the same time.

This is the generation that looks straight into the abyss - and codes it into software.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

🌍 1995-2008: Pluto in Sagittarius, Neptune in Aquarius, Uranus in Aquarius-Pisces

Theme: Global faith, digital utopias, and ideological crusades.

If Pluto in Scorpio destroyed the walls, Sagittarius ran wild through the ruins.

This is globalization on fire: ideas, cultures, religions exploding across fiber-optic lines.

Neptune and Uranus in Aquarius dream of technology as salvation - the internet as Eden.

MySpace, blogging, early social media, all born from this conjunction.

But Sagittarius can preach - and Pluto there gave us ideological wars,

the rise of extremism, “freedom” as a weapon, and truth blurred by information overload.

We thought we’d connect the planet.

We did - but we also burned through it.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

🏛 2008-2024: Pluto in Capricorn, Neptune in Pisces, Uranus in Aries-Taurus

Theme: Collapse and reconstruction. Power exposed. Dreams flooding back.

Pluto in Capricorn disassembles institutions - banks, governments, hierarchies.

Everything solid crumbles.

Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries completely: spirituality, art, escapism, empathy, chaos.

Uranus in Aries sparks the age of the individual hero; in Taurus, the rebellion becomes financial, environmental, bodily.

This is the age of activism and burnout.

We meditate with apps, manifest abundance, and revolt on social media.

We’re trying to dream responsibly.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

⚡️ 2024-2044

Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Taurus-Gemini

A generation born with technology as a nervous system.

Collective power through digital tribes.

Neptune in Aries ignites a new spirituality of self-belief - activism as faith.

Uranus in Taurus shakes economies, ownership, and Earth itself.

The world becomes both more united and more fractured.

The question isn’t “who am I?” anymore - it’s “who are we, together?”

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

🧬 The Pattern Beneath It All

Each time the outer planets change signs or make hard aspects, history breathes differently.

Pluto writes the plot.

Neptune writes the dream.

Uranus edits the rules.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

If you strip away the mysticism, what’s left is this:

Astrology might be the oldest way humans have tracked collective psychology.

It’s not predicting - it’s pattern recognition.

Masterlist

Click here for part one of the “painful placements in astrology” series. Let me know how this resonated and any suggestions you guys have! 🦋

💜 Lilith in signs or houses can actually show what you’re good at repressing. Considering Lilith’s backstory. Now this type of repression comes from trauma, and a fear that expressing the qualities of the house, sign and/or aspects will lead to some sort of threat or imminent danger. For example Lilith in 12th house, you’ve likely had to repress your spirituality due to fear of judgement or danger from expressing your true beliefs etc.

💙 Saturn making harsh aspects to Mercury. This can be quite common due to the length of stays of Saturn and Mercury in a sign. These people may notice that they feel completely unheard in life. Moreover, people can just easily make them feel incompetent, even if they have good knowledge on what they are taking about. Made to feel like their opinions and ideas are irrelevant and useless. A lot of this happens in the earlier portion of their life and they can be easily targeted. However as they get older, they learn to step more and more into their power. This is mainly due to Saturn’s influence on growth, structure, and longevity.

💜 Uranus/Chiron/Saturn aspects to the 1st house. These people likely have been bullied for their appearance quite early on in life. They were made to feel very insecure and this likely also affected their personality growing up. Either these people learn to stand up for themselves really quickly or they start developing this trait a bit later on. Either way they learn to fight for themselves even when no one else will. They learn to be their own safety. These people are also quite commonly late bloomers. Whilst others peak in high school, these people age like fine wine, despite having a more mature appearance at times due to Saturn’s and Uranus’s influence.

💙 Mars in 4th house, how was your family life growing up and dare I say even now? These people have likely encountered a violent, erratic, and unpredictable family environment. Constant shouting and arguing, abuse really shapes a lot of their memories of family life.

💜 This is a very broad observation, but I’ve noticed so many people with Scorpio placements, planets and asteroids experience some form of sexual abuse. Doesn’t have to be physical, it could be verbal, for example they could be prone to being catcalled. It’s like their sexuality is on display for others to do so with as they please. Unsolicited judgements and advice etc. They could be wearing the most basic outfits but get more sexualised than if someone else without Scorpio placements was wearing them. They need to learn how to harness this sexual energy and utilise it for manifestations.

💙 Saturn/Capricorn in 4th house, or even planets in 4th house making aspects to planets in 10th house/Capricorn. These individuals likely experienced a strict, overly disciplined family life, especially growing up. Their family, particularly the father figure was hell-bent on humbling and disciplining them every chance they got. This could’ve really shaped their school life, like being bullied for not having a pair of branded trainers for example. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that the family couldn’t afford more expensive goods, it’s more about the authority figure just not splurging on the child in order to humble them. Moreover, the authority figures ego was likely very high, and anything that even slightly ticked them off would be taken out on restricting the child’s hobbies and interests. Again with the thought that “this will teach them a lesson.” In the long run, this could actually either lead to the native overspending and developing very impulsive spending habits, or not spending on themselves at all once they start to earn money for themselves.

I don’t know why more people don’t realize this.

Speaking for my generation, Pluto in Scorpio is what gave Harry Potter so much success. We, who were children and teens when the movies came out, were so personally drawn to its themes of magic, mystery and the occult.

I’ve never admitted this to myself before, but without Harry Potter showing me that witches can be cool, I would’ve rejected my bloodline’s legacy. I would’ve looked down on it as primitive and told my elders I wasn’t interested in their barbaric beliefs.

Despite how anyone feels about JK Rowling, it was this woman’s masterpiece that directly or indirectly introduced countless Millennials to witchcraft.

How about Uranus in Capricorn? We are the ones who pioneered retiring in our 30s (or at least pioneered dreaming about it) because we're so tired of the typical ways of working. We are the ones who turned "9 to 5" into a bad word from something that was aspirational.

That’s our Uranus making us feel such personal hate for the sound of our alarm clock urging us to prepare for the office every morning. It is that hatred that helped manifest the reality of Work from Home, which is benefitting our generation more than anyone else.

Finally, Neptune in Capricorn. It's why our generation travels constantly throughout the year. We work hard, but not to the detriment of our personal fantasies.

Our Neptune is why social media romanticizes taking photos and videos of food. Older generations found it stupid, and younger ones think it has become cringe.

This Neptune is why wedding photoshoots are more glamorous than ever. And why middle-class people work until midnight — not so we could buy a home, but so we could afford a first-class ticket to our next vacation.

The term “generational planets” makes it sound like our Pluto, Uranus and Neptune do not affect us that much.

Uranus in 6th house: you and your peculiar work/life balance. Nobody can quite do it like you. Trust the process of taking the unconventional route that seems to so helplessly call out your name.

Neptune in 10th house: You didn't quite get the job you thought you wanted? The career you have that brings you fulfillment and joy now, is light years different from what you initially dreamed of as ideal.

Uranus square mars: anger issues? That's a bit common with the lot of you. Is there some anger at and from things that seem beyond your control? Things that you feel society/family/your upbringing tried to box you in?

Pluto in 1st house: A magnetic and compelling disposition. You attract the attention of people without trying too hard. Just keep doing you.

Pluto in the 3rd house: Despite whatever incident or trouble surrounded your speaking out as a child, your voice is so important and so powerful. People get enchanted by the way you speak. Unwantedly, you may constantly find yourself engaged in conversations with people who get 'turned on' by you talking. Or they unexpectedly start talking about kinky topics. You may hear people randomly bring up your accent in a complementary way.

Uranus trine the MC: Your reputation as someone who lives differently precedes you. Naturally, the area of your life represented by the house Uranus is in may even seem eccentric and unusual to others. E.g someone with Uranus in the 5th house may be discussed for a 'controversial' love life or for having 'peculiar' children or more children than average or adopting children when they were expected to have biological ones.

Neptune in Aries, the era of rage baiting and ego masquerading as masculinity

Pluto in Aquarius, basically join or die

Uranus in Gemini, texting will become as important as talking in person, calling all you dry texters out there

Aquarius/Uranus =tech\the internet\(electronic)machines

Neptune/Pisces=spirituality/divinity/connection to source consciousness.

I think it’s largely gonna be up to us to try to clean up the mess from Pluto in Capricorn. While corporations ran wild with the most insane power they ever had during Pluto in Capricorn, I also see that Pluto over those years has helped to reveal what was being buried from us, making the general public aware about all this corporate corruption.

I hope that Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of society’s water bearer, can ultimately help pave the way to societies where the power is at least a little more in the hands of the people. And we need the influence of people with Pluto at home♏️ in their charts to achieve this (the generation also known as millennials that are getting old enough to become politicians or hold other high ranking positions in society).

I think it’s really interesting that there was such an emphasis on other outer planets in Capricorn during the Pluto in Scorpio period when millennials were born. Neptune was in Capricorn over the vast majority of Pluto in Scorpio, and Uranus was in Capricorn for over half of it. Saturn in Capricorn also happened during about the middle range of Pluto in Scorpio, and Saturn’s meeting with Neptune and/or Uranus during these few years provided another influence to increase the desire and advantage of people in this generation to change the structures we have known.

Maybe all this understanding of Capricorn’s influence with generational planets that reflect society, can help those of us with Pluto in Scorpio to remedy the mess that Pluto in Capricorn made society so aware of.

Pluto in Aquarius will square the Plutos of all of us with Pluto in Scorpio at some time during its transit over the next 19 years. But no seriously substantial transformation in society has taken place without people being pushed to action by *tense* dynamics.
