Mars opposed Pluto – active from 23 Oct 2024 to 6 May 2025

This aspect is exact on 3 November 2024 and 3 January and 27 April 2025.

This is a volatile and aggressive signature. Mars is connected with war. There is a need to protect, but this can very easily become retaliatory and provocative. These planets in opposition describe a battle of power and control. Nobody wants to surrender. Pluto is subversive by nature and could describe abductions, executions and assassinations. It could certainly describe chemical or atomic warfare. It is seen as a destructive combination and is likely to lead to degeneration and decomposition. This planetary combination is associated with dictators and hidden forces. It speaks about displacement. It could bring to the present traumatic events from the past like the holocaust. It is certainly speaking about death and decay and the necessity to purge.

It could well describe events that are beyond our control like earthquakes and fires.

It could also be speaking about sexual relations and hidden agendas associated with sexuality and power. Viral diseases and those that are sexually transmitted could be highlighted. We could see more deaths from an unknown virus.

It could speak about important matters connected to taxation and debt. Tax authorities will be clamping down heavily on outstanding tax revenue especially those companies and individuals who have tried to hide revenue from the tax authorities. There could well be breakthroughs when it comes to busting illicit criminal networks across the globe as the net tightens. Mounting debt could become a massive issue for certain players. Will they default? What about liquidations? It is going to be a battle to stay afloat and keep creditors at a distance. It might be too late to save a business.

Will may witness fundamental shifts in energy procurement. How do the dynamics of war fundamentally shift? More drones and chemical weapons and less boots on the ground? This is certainly a very volatile period and aggression will be heightened during this cycle. Perhaps some individuals will be driven to achieve extraordinary physical pursuits that are daring and dangerous.

It will be important to focus on what we can do as individuals to stay grounded and connected. We will need to work hard at breath work and being in nature to counter these volatile times. Find your peace and let go of past trauma. Find ways to work through past trauma. If you are triggered by something you have more work to do. Writing down your trauma and then taking a match to the paper and setting it alight is a powerful way to find release from past pain. Hold tight.
