Pluto’s Path to the End of Empire

“Pluto. This tiny planet is here to teach us about power, our power, how we have power and how to be in our power. So often in our lives we project our power onto others…other people, other organisations, governments, religions. We dance in a victim-perpetrator illusion. Taskmaster Pluto moves us beyond that dance. As it transits each celestial factor in our chart, Pluto offers us another chance to negotiate our relationship to power and its expression. When Pluto transits out-of-bounds, it takes this dance to next level and correlates with times when societies are taken hostage by tyrants and dictators (out-of-bounds north) and when people claim their power through revolutions and reformations (out-of-bounds south).” — Rosie Finn

I’m thrilled to release my first interview on my YouTube channel, featuring my first astrology teacher Rosie Finn. Rosie recently published her book Persephone’s Revolution: Pluto’s Path to the End of Empire that she has been working on researching and writing for over twenty years:

Rosie’s research on Pluto and its declination cycle that she shares in Persephone’s Revolution significantly reframes the astrology transits of the next decade. The period of time we are entering in 2025 will involve Pluto moving out of bounds in southern declination, a Pluto phase that Rosie has found in her research going back to 1800 BC has consistently correlated with empires instituting reforms, people reclaiming power from empires, and the transformation of world superpowers into smaller powers, locally driven leadership, and a chance for the creation of new societies.

In this video we go through some of the substantial research documented by Rosie in her book and how she has labeled four primary phases of Pluto’s declination cycle: a VISION period when Pluto moves from southern to northern declination (goes back to the 1860s in this current cycle), a POWER period of abusive empires when Pluto reaches extreme out of bounds in northern declination (goes back to 1838 to the early 1950s and World War II in the current cycle), a JUSTICE period when Pluto moves from northern to southern declination (goes back to the late 1980s in the current cycle), and then the REFORM period we enter this year when Pluto reaches extreme southern declination.

Incredibly, the next twelve years will be the last time that Pluto goes out of bounds for at least another five thousand years. This means that the last time Pluto was out of bounds in northern declination when World War II happened, a period that correlates with extreme abuse of power by global empires, will never happen again for thousands of years. As a result, Rosie’s thorough research offers significant hope for what can emerge in the chaotic astrology of the next decade in ways that go beyond what we can presently conceive.

Rosie’s new book is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in the astrology of the next decade. You can purchase her book from Revelore Press in this link here. You can find more about Rosie and her work on her website here. Rosie wrote an article on Pluto’s declination cycle for The Astrology Association of Great Britain you can read here.

I hope you enjoy this video and share it widely with friends as it will serve as a source of inspiration in the times ahead.
