Mars opposite Pluto
Keep in mind that their cycle started in Aquarius, precisely at 0º♒️. They now have their first (29º♋️♑️ 46’) and second opposition (1º♌️♒️08’) right around this degree.
In addition, Mars retrograde in Leo and Cancer opposite Pluto is an extremely rare event.
Mars Pluto conjunction in Aquarius talks about rebellion, independent action and disregard for any authorities. Their energy challenges society and fights to create new social structures, wanting to change the course of history. There is a powerful desire to completely transform social systems.
Considering the concurrent Sun Mars synodic cycle (read the article here), the way the social transformation is done is through sheer ruthlessness, and extreme cruelty, especially against certain groups of people. Hence the exacerbation of killings and mass murder, especially but not limited in the current wars.
Since Aquarius is also the market place, Mars with Pluto represent the will power to reconvene parties and organize new alliances which make their own market deals. This is changing the economic dynamics of the world. In that regard, the BRICS block has increased its power lately.
“Originally made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, the group is expanding and has been welcoming new members and partners since last year. By 2025, at least nine countries, including Cuba, Bolivia, Indonesia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Thailand, are expected to join the BRICS”1
At that conjunction on February 14, 2024, the news talked about an escalation in the Middle East and Ukraine Wars. 2 Russia started using supersonic missiles and threats to use nuke heads. Israel expands his aggression to neighboring Lebanon, and is accused of targeting and killing children of all ages. Journalists are killed. 3 Acts of cruelty and war crimes are denounced all over the world while people protesting out in the streets against Israel’s atrocities are repressed, intimidated, and arrested. 4
Unfortunately, the pent-up anger and resentment and potential for violence has been increasing day by day. Mars opposite Pluto is associated with power struggles, aggression and violence in public areas. Not a good time to be in big groups of people attending public events. Of course, it won’t affect everyone on Earth, but during the days surrounding this opposition, there have been several public attacks.
Intense passion is the general mood, and unfortunately some people are prone to lose their mind under this kind of transits. The common denominator seems to be a resentment, long held and unresolved grudges against the powers that be.
If you are minimally informed, you’re probably worried about the insecurity in public spaces, considering that anyone can be killed in the street, at a festive event, in a grocery store or an elementary school these days, no matter where you live.
While Mars was approaching the opposition to Pluto the news were grim. United Healthcare CEO assassination, a Tesla car explosion at a Trump building, intensification of war conflicts, and two separate episodes of a vehicle ‘ramming’ into a festive crowd (one in Germany, the other in Louisiana USA). I use the verb ‘ram’ because the way these attacks were done resonate with the impulsive charging energy of Mars and Aries, associated with the ram.
This planetary (and human) confrontation is accentuated by their also being contraparallel ( = opposition by declination); Mars is 23º declination North, Pluto at 23º declination South. In addition, the Sun has been contraparallel Mars and parallel Pluto during the last days of December. This makes for a supercharge Martian ego energy butting heads against the powerful forces in society or against certain political or economic groups (Aquarius). Moreover, Mars is OOB December 31, 2024 until April 8, 2025!!
An escalation of belligerence and cruelty could be expected, which could exacerbate around the end of April. Disturbed individuals losing their mind could continue to commit mass killings.
On the positive side, this strong energy can be useful for people who want to shake free from the chains of tyranny, be it personal or political. A significant example is the people of Venezuela defending (Mars retrograde in Cancer) democracy, and their human rights as they fight for the freedom from a cruel dictatorship.
In spite of what some Astrologers have predicted regarding the Pluto Uranus Neptune Small Trine, saying that it relates to peace and prosperity, I think that these planets will work in tandem to destroy the world as we know it and open the way to create a new one. This is supposed to be a long range process that may actually last until Pluto ingress Pisces, in 20 years.
In your personal life
Just be aware of this transit, because it may suddenly ignite a fire from any passive aggressive long subdued anger against family members or a significant other. Friendships with a long overdue expiration date may be destroyed in the spur of a moment. However, this could be a positive push if you’ve had pernicious relationship conflicts for a longtime, and never found the courage to end the struggle. Now, could be the decisive moment when you could liberate yourself. However, take caution, the severance could come with an explosion of anger and even violence leading to physical injuries. Try to avoid any aggressive behavior and even language.
If you are a peaceful person, just be careful while exercising or during physical work, especially if you have a Mars Pluto hard aspect in your natal chart. If, on the contrary, you have soft aspects for them, then it would be a great day to tackle some demanding work, like hard gardening work, or other heavy-duty home chore, even remodeling. It all depends on where in your chart is this transit, and are natal Mars and Pluto by house, sign, and condition. Observe personal developments and correlate, or just consult your trusted Astrologer.
Mercury square Neptune
Keep an attentive eye, but use your critical thinking as much as possible to analyze the different pieces in detail. Mercury will favor deeper and conscientious analysis once he moves to Capricorn. There Mercury squares the Aries Libra Nodal Axis. This implies a mental conflict that requires a change of ideas oriented towards a more self-protective attitude (Aries North Node). Sometimes, one is faced with a karmic adjustment to reconcile past actions with future possibilities. A challenging piece of information may totally change the course of events.
One thing is to see with your eyes, another is to see through beyond what is visible. In that regard, Mercury square Neptune can only help, if one pays attention to the soft voice of intuition. No need to believe everything you are told, not even what I write, but rather practice meditation, introspection. Disconnect from the media noise, and fine tune with your authentic energies. Everyone is able to access knowledge this way.
