Just like people have their own birth chart, so do countries. The “birth chart” of a country highlights its energetic vibrations and the themes we would expect to see unfolding.
The issue with using the birth chart of a country is knowing what date to set.
At present, the current birth chart of the United States used by many astrologers is set to July 4, 1776, at 5.10pm LMT in Philadelphia, PA, which was the alleged time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
I want to acknowledge that Native Americans had been living on this land long before this date and long before this “birth” chart of the United States.
The reason this chart is used is because it’s determined to be the birth of the current laws and beliefs of the United States. It was the document that was signed that day that created the America that we know today.
According to this commonly used chart, the US will be having what is known as its Pluto Return from 2022-2024.
This means Pluto will be returning to the exact same position of the zodiac where it was on July 4, 1776.
Pluto Returns take 247 odd years to occur, so for the United States, this is the first Pluto Return it is experiencing.
Pluto is the planet associated with death and rebirth. It is the force that crumbles things to ashes in order to be rebuild.
No one walking this Earth will live to see a Pluto Return personally, as it takes longer than our lifespan to come about, but we are about to witness the US go through it, and we are already starting to see the signs.
Understanding Pluto
Before we dive into what we can expect to see, it’s important to first understand a little more of what Pluto is all about.
Pluto is considered the Lord of the Underworld. It has the knack of exposing hidden truths, dark secrets, and the shadowy stuff. It brings the dark, hidden, and taboo up to the surface in order for it to be dealt with and faced.
Pluto is a highly creative energy, but whenever we have something new coming to the surface, there has to be a certain level of destruction too.
Pluto rules over the process of transformation. That dark night of the soul moment that then leads us into a spiritual awakening and then ultimately, a rebirth.
Pluto’s energy is subtle and slow-moving. It takes many years for it to weave its magic, but when it is through with us, we feel reborn, renewed, and recreated in some way.
Pluto Return and the USA
The United States will officially experience its Pluto Return from 2022-2024, however as mentioned, we are already feeling the effects.
Pluto is going to bring a revolution of sorts. It seems that whatever intention was set for this country back on July 4, 1776, is going to be revisited.
Pluto is going to ask- What needs to change? What needs to be transformed? And what needs to be honored?
We will be forced to look back to see whether the original intention set for this country is still being upheld or if anything needs to change.
We will be forced to look back and readjust in some way, before we can move forward.
We may even have to revisit some of the energies that brought about the creation and need for the Declaration of Independence as well.
Because Pluto Return is occurring in the sign of Capricorn, there will be a spotlight on government, big business, authority figures, and essentially anyone in a position of great power.
A Pluto Return in Capricorn could manifest as the crumbling of the government or an established hierarchy, but it also the building of a new one.
It can lead to deep and lasting changes in the way that the country is run and governed, and the rules that citizens choose to abide by.
This energy is like the dark night of the soul of the country. It challenges the US to face up to its dark side and to expose any corruption. We have to remedy the past so we can create a brighter future.
While a Pluto Return can expose shadows, it is also an incredibly powerful transit that can help any country to rise up in to its fullest potential.
When the Pluto Return is officially completed, it will be like the phoenix rising from the ashes- stronger, and more awakened than before.
While the US will wrap up its Pluto Return by 2024, due to its slow movements, it may take till 2028 to truly see the metamorphosis that has taken shape. (This is when Pluto officially leaves the zodiac of Capricorn for good.)
USA Pluto Return Predictions
While it is difficult to predict exactly what is going to happen, here is what we may see, plus what has unfolded as other countries have experienced their own Pluto Returns:
- Major changes in the laws
- Shift in government structure
- Exposure of deep corruption
- Need to heal the past
- Civil War/ Power struggles
- Conflicts with other countries
- Agreements/Partnerships with other countries
- Leaving agreements/partnerships with other countries
- Changes or an overhaul of banking/economy
- Changes or an overhaul when it comes to big business
- Unconventional leaders
- Death/Overthrowing of leaders
- Changing of allies
- Rise of independence
- Rebalancing power dynamics
Ultimately, a Pluto Return is a very eye-opening, transformative, dark night of the soul experience. While it does stir things that may be uncomfortable, I do feel it can pave the way to create a more balanced, fair, and just country, where all feel loved, welcomed, respected, and equal.
