The 2 nd semester 2023 shows birth charts of a quite intense karma. Aries, Libra and Aquarius are main characters, and will still be even much beyond 2023. Read the post to know more about Pluto in Aquarius (2023-2042), the milestones we may expect for in the pathway, and the final karma for those born from July to December.
Some planets attract more our attention than others when they move from one sign to another one. Pluto is one of them since it is the one taking more time to complete a whole cycle around the Sun, and the change happens after many years. During the following decades, it will be on Aquarius from our perspective, and then will enter the sign of abysses and wholeness. But what the transit across Aquarius means?
Related to Hades, the god of hell in Greek mythology, it has a bad fame and is classically associated to negative situations such as thefts, harassment, destruction, offences... From an esoteric point of view, and for not alluding to romantic approaches about what it indicates, let's consider "processes in perspective". For example:
Saturn, son of Uranus, and transiting on Libra, may be great for living together, arriving at fair agreements, saving action fields that preserve the chances to implement some type of regulation, or developing balanced relationships, whereas when the planet transits on Gemini may take us to make fun of laws as well as lack of humor. When a transit or emplacement is a complicated one, the sign of exaltation is always the best point of reference we may find (Libra for Saturn). It happens the same with Pluto.
Pluto is exalted in Sagittarius, the sign of the archer who doesn't see beyond what's on his mind, who follows his own path and according to his reasoning. Pluto is a planet that gathers strength (like Venus), keeps it inside and stores (almost like Taurus), and goes on feeding by using contacts (in the environment, with people, objects). But, unlike the goddess of love and the bull's sensorial world, a good amount of the energy absorbed by Pluto is finally poured on psychic areas, even the one originated from physical activity.
With Pluto in Aquarius, the mentioned absorption will acquire many different forms and, because of the karma of those born in the 2 nd semester 2023, each form will try to be the first one, the most shared, the most taken or the predominating way. It will imply big quarrels and convulsed experiences. We won't find the only forms of Sagittarius, and consensus won't be important because Aquarius is precisely a quite individualistic sign, usually living life without trying to reproduce itself or make other people alike. But it is a sign of sharing, transmitting and creating networks. During all these types of activities, we may not find fanatic reasons for supporting activities or decisions but big fights for concentrating the energy at a high scale.
The problem about the transit might be that the resources are usually limited, and everything cannot be everywhere at the same time. Besides, concentrations create unavoidable imbalances, which may bring shortage problems during this period...
The transit will also bring a very particular and individual type of consciousness: the way each single person connects to their own inner reserves, and gathers for the own benefit. Aquarius' collective meaning is precisely indicated by this type of experience when it emerges in each consciousness and looks for being expanded.
During all the staying in the sign, the planet will form aspectations to the nodes of human karma in Aries-Libra, during three key moments: at the beginning, middle and end of the transit. So we'll see three milestones that will create a progressive sequence towards the complete development of Aquarius. Some details of each milestone are described below but the global tendency will be a lot of inner motion and a great force within channeled to try the own, communicate and take ahead what each person has in mind, as if it wouldn't be no other choice. In common areas, it will mean a challenge tp stay tolerant and live together. In private areas, we'll reach a deep knowledge about what we want to keep inside, and the way we want to keep it.
By April 2025, Neptune will transit on Aries, dissolving hardness and favoring experiences impulsed by collective actions rather than private ones. The transit will last until March 2038, changing intentions and the most basic motivations radically, which will be better appreciated as time passes by. We'll lose focus on what seemed to be very clear some time before, well definite or even desired. A more impersonal, like an unsigned tone, will be extended across many situations, whatever be the field of action.
It will be a process of karmic liberation during which the personal urgencies will slowly decrease as well as the effects in the future that might have been created and projected since now. Neptune's tone will prepare us for Pluto's transit on Pisces (2042) but until then, and while Pluto be taking ahead Aquarius' development, the effects will be different.
The god of the seas will potentiate a massive reaching of actions and experiences, dillute focuses of concentrated strength, so it will decrease some conflics and attempts. But Pluto in Aquarius will make activity and the amount of involved energy increase each time, in extension and specificity, reaching particularly conflictive peaks when be connected to the nodes of karma we're interested in here (Aries-Libra). Individual initiatives, then, will tend to become massive ones. In this context, Neptune in Aries will provide a 13-year path until 2042, emphasizing personal desires as well as communions, in both common actions and independent ones (1).
From a karmic perspective on the transit, we have to include Pisces, the following sign in the Zodiac, where Pluto produces a deep and definitive emptying of forms, finding it easier for its favourite activity (embracing it all). We might see it since March 2043 but it won't happen as an effect of agreements or transcended problems but of the widest possible differentiation and the highest activity level in the following 20 years. The result will emerge as an abrupt effect, a magical one, of a dissolutive silence, shapeless, when concentrations, upheavals and attemptings of babies born nowadays also disappear, when the supporting desire be gone.
Keeping this in mind, let's take a look at Pluto, the feared and cold planet, when it is related to Aries-Libra's cycle of karma.
(1) For those born during the 2 nd semester 2023, Neptune's influence will be especially relevant, and even more if they've been born in Northern areas. The level of disturbance will depend on the birth characteristics of Aries, Libra, and their rulers Mars and Venus on the chart (these planets are karmic rulers). The last two milestones during Pluto's transit on Aquarius will bring back all related to desire, personal searching and initiatives, runs and most urgent aims, the use of force, while the speed in the experiences will also increase.
July 2023 indicates a karmic cycle as the satellite's nodes enter Aries and Libra since day 18. To know more details, we have to look at each birth chart and see the way the Sun, birth Moon, planets and other important points are related to the nodes. Any generic interpretation may be changed with just a single astrological signifier in a special area or convergence.
Anyway, the nodes in those signs are usually associated to individual consciousness (Aries) and relational consciousness (Libra). As it happens with any other couple of opposites, each one of them is defined depending on the other one. In Aries' karma, we'll see an impulse to take action, initiative, individuality, willing to arrive at destiny even before starting the journey, with the classic fresh moments of the first encounters in any type of activity, with a clear thinking and without confusion. Instead, Libra's karma always starts from looking at the two components of any company, considers other people, alternates with others' positions, also speculates according to other's positions, and tends to balance (although it doesn't reach it since once it is achieved, then we'll find Aries again impulsing to move towards another specific goal, thus altering the balance).
People born during the nodes' cycle will experience a type of karma quite in tune with Pluto's transit (2). What may seem decades of disorders or very strong quarrels to other generations, will be experienced fluently by new-born people as events take place, and we shouldn't be surprised by the easy way they go through them or the wide perspective they provide us from an early age. This generation has foreseen, knows from before, doesn't need to be prepared for. They're people who will display a karma of expansion, incorporated knowledge and transcendence of goals, quite skillful to really let things go, and also doing it quite drastically.
They will express these characteristics in a vivid way after their 20-years birthday, when Pluto have had finished the transit on Aquarius. But previously, three very special karmic moments will take place, as quite lively instances during the current times although expressing the type of karma that brought them into the world.
Present times not lived yet tell about the past, and that's one of the paradoxes of karma in relation to time.
Keep on reading about the three karmic milestones during the first 20 years for those born from July to December 2023, including the final step until they deplete birth karma.
(2) To be in tune with a time doesn't mean finding fluency but instead expressing similar qualities and experiences, which may be conflictive or not. People born during this time period will count on a massive perception of the experiences, won't step back easily and won't hesitate in making drastic turns inside of situations of a high conflict level, especially when it is about setting a direction for getting resources. In astrological terms, it derives from the quality Mars acquire, which rules the lunar node in Aries, as Pluto by transit forms aspectations with the nodes (first, there will be conflictive squares, and then the node in Aries will be potentiated by sextiles). Besides, it's a karma especially related to Leo, Aquarius, Uranus and Jupiter. Uranus is Aquarius' astral ruler, Leo's esoteric ruler, and Aquarius and Aries' magnetic ruler. Whereas Jupiter is Aquarius' esoteric ruler. Find more references about the aspectations in the last item Astrological reference.
The birth charts of those born from July to December 2023 show a quite intense karma, hard to be channeled in concrete activities or towards clearly definite pathways. They wont' always show a stable mood and may experience some ups and downs in the economic area, a lot of inconstancy and repeated raisings, which will disturb resting times in concrete terms.
They'll be quite aware of feelings and whatever turns them into creative people, and will establish dynamic relationships (even Taurine natives). But it will be hard for them to make decisions, set a direction or concentrate on something they be specifically interested in. They won't consider setting a long-term direction as an important matter either, or even retaining what they have. The memory of experiences they might keep within during these months will be a milestone for considering later where they will pour the energy on, the way they will relate to other people and how much effort and constancy they will be willing to invest on what they want.
Other characteristic of birth karma will make them stay in tune with the sensorial experiences they live at each moment, without worrying too much about undefinitions. They will also remember quite well what they want, the quality of the exchanges, what matches or not, and the way their feelings and relationships grow or become weakened.
These characteristics might be difficult for natives with other configurations in the sky but those born during this period won't take it that way, since their birth charts don't indicate specific karmic tendencies as directions to be followed or even some other ones favored or complicated to express in daily life's conditions. Inconstancy and undefinition will just be, whereas abundance will come and go without caring too much about it.
They will feel widely comfortable about the circumstances luck brings, even if they don't get concrete results. They've born for leaving no karmic traces, after coming into the world and establishing relationships. They will probably take vital energy away from many situations, which esoterically means they'll remove tendencies and projections from the evolutional axis. If, during the process, the material affairs were not plenty achieved, we should consider that the natives are in a process related to the change of areas, relations and forms, as if their very lives would depend on that.
People counting on 10 years old from July to December 2033 will experience a second milestone in their karmic cycle, since February of the same year. The effects will vary depending on the Hemisphere they had been born.
Southern Hemisphere
Those ones born in Southern areas will have a strong connection to the Moon of their charts. For more specific karma's details, it's basic to count on more info about the birth sign, emplacement and phase of the satellite. But, in global terms, the natives will express a wide memory about which, as it happens with karmic affairs, we won't know quite well where it comes from or the way it is raised.
Before taking their own pathway, they will concentrate on the point from where they start. As it was mentioned before, they hold inside a wide knowledge and experience to establish emotional and economic relationships, although the year 2033 won't be a time to deepen into all that. In fact, they'll move beyond their own future! They should expect different types of associations, couples and relationships for later, and this period will be for sowing and thinking on the next decades.
All things and situations emphasizing Aries will be welcomed for their karmic cycle. They won't look for references of the sign because, as it happens with the Moon's nodes, their own memories and records will be raised, especially the ones related to desire, progress, choices and initiatives. The key note will be each pulse that comes out in the experience, and each pulse should be treasured.
Northern Hemisphere
This generation will bring a lot of surprises for those around them. They will be aware of the interests that now emerge where they were not before, with an unexpected and unsual urgency. Activities, likings, ideas and out-of-series ways will be raised without knowing too well the way they emerge.
They might also gather things to make all around them work according to their goals. And they might use words and magnetism skillfully, becoming smart and not always using clear ways to achieve them... They will be very focused on implementing what they have in their minds or want to, without being too concentrated on the quality of the means they are making use of, or some others responsibilities and duties.
In perspective, we'll have to pay special attention to this time because it will be a key moment for finding selective activities (which they didn't find before), choices about to acquire a form in the future, and interests to be considered for setting pathways. These tendencies will come from a deep and, at the same time, wide knowledge and experience, which will be an expression of birth karma at early age (3).
(3) Karmic expressions emerge out of logical reasons. It means they're not related to psychology, so we have to dismiss explanations related to the ways of raising children or childhood experiences.
Those ones who count on 19 years old from July to December 2042 will experience a third milestone in the cycle of karma, from February of the same year. The effects will change depending on the Hemisphere where they had been born.
Southern Hemisphere
What is not released or conceded somewhere, is released or conceded somewhere else. So it happens about the energy's concentrations and dispersals when we consider karmic cycles in global terms. Natives born in the Southern Hemisphere will go through a year for clearing out pathways, progressively decreasing conflict levels.
They'll easily leave behind desires and interests, and just because they're simply over all that. They'll express a new vibe whereas the ones in the opposite Hemisphere will keep on insisting. For Southern people, the future has not come yet, and the year 2042 will offer a final and quite liberating removal.
They'll be the ones going through the end of the karmic period in a better way, saying goodbye to imbalances and problems of concentration that characterized the last decades. To them, the last karmic milestone will imply leaving no traces on the way. They'll only turn back for specific reviews because, in fact, they'll now turn towards Libra, the sign of relationships, and for not going back.
Northern Hemisphere
The world in which they will be living in have surely had changed and will show a new chance to stay in tune. But 2042 will be a specially convulsed year to get along with...
The experience had showed them what have produced good and bad results, what has more or less chances, but even so they might not stop attempting and will keep on the same line the've been following. They won't be willing to step back and, instead, will remain firmly on their interests and very concentrated on their purposes.
Another Saturn's facet will emerge, one they've not known during the present time yet. We should expect attemtps to predominate, defeat, implement and keep on doing things according to their own thinking. The year will also be a reflection of the time, so the natives may consider many of the conflicts and problems they will experience as related to massive processes, not just as personal affairs.
Birth karma for people born from July to December 2023 will be finished when Saturn, the planet of rings, returns to the position it was at birth (Pisces). It will happen during the first semester 2053, at the age of 30 years.
By that time, the tone of the experiences might had already changed as Pluto will transit on Pisces. But we're going to see here the way the previously mentioned birth lunar karma finally ends. We'll have to pay special attention to all that emerges, is done and happens between the end of 2044 and the beginning of 2045.
Southern Hemisphere
People born in the Southern Hemisphere will change their orientation over time. If the previous milestones brought the Moon to consciousness, now they will connect to a global change of time (Pluto in Pisces).
The end of the cycle will be expressed as a flourishing for which we don't always find the right conditions. It means it will be available space for relationships tending to make exchanges as well as free space when be necessary.
Counting on a deep Venusian tone, they'll establish quite free ties, deep and detached at the same time. Besides, they'll combine qualities that not always remain together: consciousness of diversity even inside of situations of a high symbiosis.
Northern Hemisphere
The first two decades of their lives will be something to be remembered. Those years might had anticipated problems related to desire, goals, searching and individual initiatives.
To stay in tune with the future, the natives should incorporate previous experiences and start projecting common activities, socialize and become part of something wider than themselves. They may turn quite drastic when wanting to, so they could turn drastic to themselves for it.
The karma for Northern areas won't display the classic Arian characteristics. The natives hold within a wider extent of reaching, vision and openness, and it will be just about making use of it. If they don't, the foundational bases will automatically lose firmness, over and over again, until they think again about the way they take other people into consideration, and review the diameter they use to focus on things, as well as acquiring a kind of self-discipline about it. Their charts indicate the starting forms are not like the final ones.
Following, more details about vitality from a karmic point of view (4), and for specific birth dates.
Natives born from 07.18 to 31 will be quite inclined to make grow and develop what falls into their hands or enters their action fields. They'll be the most involved ones in making things mature and reach a chance to be. It means they won't always be comfortable with their circumstances since, as it was mentioned in 2023: first contact, much of the currently available energy will be reoriented towards upcoming projections to be materialized in another time, during the karmic cycle of reincarnations.
People born from 08.01 to 10.10 will skillfully handle magnetism, especially in physical and concrete matters. It will be great for removing fixated energy. And they'll always be active people, keeping a rhythm that others won't be able to follow all the time. This type of dynamics will bring inconveniences to those born from August 12 th to 30 th because the harmony and complementarity they're looking for will be periodically altered.
An unusual chance will be available for Virgo natives born from 09.15 to 18. Without avoiding participating and assuming a visibly active role in the type of affairs they're interested in, they'll study and make designs based on their calculations, and experimenting according to the future they have in mind. They'll be the ones who provide accurate mental schema, mostly created from unexpected sensations, in which we won't find unfunctional or unuseful elements. Virgo and Libra natives born between days 19 and 28 will stay on that line either although not so quite focused on it but instead more inclined to intervene, set positions and things up, since they'll easily discover fertile areas to explore and deepen into.
The last three months of the year will display quite different types of birthdays. Those people born from 10.09 to 27 will visibly show indefinitions. Being aware of them, they will probably remain like that, basically because they won't consider that things falling out of their hands is a problem. Besides, and especially those of the last deanery of Libra, will count on a very particular sense of justice and what is convenient to them, which we have to relate to lunar nodes' karma for avoiding generic comparisons not fitting to what their charts are indicating.
From 21.10 to 27 we'll see birthdays for especially establishing sentimental and economic relationships. A lot will depend on the natives' own fixations, desires and insistence, although they would probably go through some kind of declination as time passes by. Some of their relationships may lose much of the strength they once had, and the natives may wonder if some of them have become a burden or a heavy weight that hold them back.
Scorpio natives from 10.28 to 11.11 will count on a sharp intuition, an increasing tendency that will make them stay away and not participate or being committed to, whenever they want to. Although aware of their own strength, most of the time they won't make full use of it or take resources at reach (especially those born since day 06). Whereas the ones of the last decan of the sign won't avoid areas or affairs but notice better what attracts them and creates attachments, mainly when physical matters are involved.
The same Scorpio natives, along with Sagittarius people born until 12.02, will be quite concentrated on that, getting rid of any situation or people who tend to create ties. They won't accept suggestions about it either, so it will be pointless to evaluate or question their decisions and choices from the outside.
Finally, the birthdays from 12.09 to 22 will bring more romantic Suns in Sagittarius than the average, so they won't leave people or circumstances easily. They won't deal well with endings, and will always be in some kind of searching, like in a constant adventure. They'll also be quite different from previous natives of the sign because they will be especially interested in specific matters. Things will remain and last within, although they'll also see that the efforts and concentration don't always create tangible realities.
(4) Mainly considering the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto and lunar nodes.
The following table includes astrological positions related to the three milestones we've seen about Pluto's relationships with the lunar nodes, and the beginning of the end of the birth karmic cycle (Saturn's return).
As it was mentioned, the milestones will take place at the beginning, middle term and final moments during Pluto's transit on Aquarius (positions are mentioned for the time each contact with the nodes begins). The contacts are two initial squares to both nodes (2023), then are sextiles to Node in Aries (2033, 2042), and will always start in dates when the lunar axis enters the polarity (last degrees of the signs). The table also includes the North Node's positions for North Hemisphere, for those dates (for Southern areas, invert the polarity of signs).
The end of Saturn's cycle starts in 2044, around more than 2 years after the third milestone, and 1 ½ year later to the simultaneous squares of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus by transit to birth positions (from 42.11 to 43.02). The table also mentions the positions of these planets during the milestones, and the dates since each one of the squares is formed ("starting the end").
The three squares converge during the mentioned months, in a confluence to be considered as an event inside of a reincarnationist perspective about karma. We have to take them into account regarding 2053, when Pluto be in the second deanery of Pisces and Saturn completes its cycle:
This specific conjuncture of squares defines what depletion of karma of a birth chart consists of, according to the previous immediate reincarnation (5).
References in numbers at the bottom of the table provide more details about the transits: positions in grades, changes of signs, and beginnings of retrograde motion (if any).
(5) Planets indicate generic vital processes related to karma. For example: the Moon is ancient memory, whereas Saturn takes it to the maximum state of concretion for later starting a decadence of forms. The Moon's nodes are also generic points, and tells of the vital breath's tune for both reincarnating and leaving this world. Whereas the three mentioned planets refer to the vital breath beyond our current present, in the timeline of a karmic cycle of reincarnations. More precisely, they indicate the type of fruit achieved in the past (Jupiter-Saturn in physical matter) and the line that would be followed in a new impulse towards the current experience (Uranus).
