The following piece about the coming Pluto return was published in late 2019, before the George Floyd murder, the economic crash of 2020, and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Like individuals, nations experience “planetary returns,” too, when celestial bodies make a complete circuit around the sky and return to the zodiacal position they once occupied. But the full return cycle of Pluto is an especially lengthy one, taking over 240 years to complete.

While individual life-spans obviously aren’t long enough to experience one of these, nations and empires certainly can. Using July 4, 1776 as its birthdate, the United States is on the verge of experiencing its first Pluto return. While that’s technically not set to occur until 2022, when Pluto reaches 27 Capricorn, for a planetary cycle as long-range as this it’s necessary to allow for an orb of several years, if not a decade or more on either side...

The Implications for the United States

So what does all of this mean for America, in terms of what we can expect the years ahead? These are a few of the possibilities I’d suggest we watch for.

1. One effect of the Pluto return for America will almost certainly be economic. In doing research for this article, I thought it might be helpful to look back at what happened during America’s half-return of Pluto during the mid-1930s, when it reached 27° Cancer, in hope that might provide some symbolic hints as to what the full Pluto return will bring. While that technically became exact in the mid-30s, its influence extended for a number of years on either side. The 1930s represented the very midst of the Great Depression, when Americans were facing privations and anxieties they’d rarely experienced before...

4. Falling as it does in Capricorn, the impending Pluto return strongly points to explosive scandals or falls from grace involving prominent individuals, be those politicians, celebrities, religious authorities, or business leaders. Previously hidden corruption, including sex crimes or possibly even treasonous activities, will be exposed to the light of day. Will that extend to the very highest political office of the land— i.e., the President? Impossible to know for sure, but it will undoubtedly be a challenging time for whoever is occupying the Oval Office at the time, whether they be Republican or Democrat.

5. Especially since the Pluto return is occurring in an earth sign, another likely impact will be environmental in nature, in terms of problems with the land and agriculture. Archetypally speaking, Pluto governs such things as toxins, refuse, and hazardous materials, so it’s not unthinkable our country’s problem with pollution could reach a tipping point, and that we’ll be forced to come to grips with the poisons in our food that result from fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides.
