The twilight of Pluto

Astrologer John Michael Greer argues that a planet's influence rises about one Saturn cycle (30 years) before it is discovered and fades about one Saturn cycle after it loses the title. Pluto, found in 1930 and demoted to a dwarf planet in 2006, would then rule from 1900 to 2036 — the era of the atom, totalitarianism and the space race — and is fading now. His history of planets that came and went mostly checks out, and his claim that Pluto is the planet of overblown claims found support in the interview itself: three of its numbers were inflated, Apollo's share of the budget by more than three times. His forecasts for 2036 are the real test, and the first one, a disarmament treaty, is running the wrong way.

Pluto out of bounds: the last time

Astrologer Rosie Finn has traced the times Pluto goes “out of bounds” — further north or south of the equator than the Sun ever goes. North, she finds conquerors and empires; south, revolts and reforms. And she says the spell that began in 2025 is the last for thousands of years. We computed every spell from 3000 BC with the Swiss Ephemeris. Her dates are right to within a year or two, the 2025–2035 spell peaks on 11 October 2030 exactly as she says, and it really is the last: each spell has been shallower than the one before for five thousand years, and Pluto won't cross the line again until about AD 11,500. Whether the spells match the history is a harder question — we scored that too.
