Profound Global Transformation - Pluto, Uranus and Neptune Changing signs

This year all three outer planets, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus change signs marking a profound change in the collective energy. Any one of these planets changing signs is a big change, however all three changing signs in the same year is unusual and shows that humanity is undergoing a profound transformation. While change can be daunting, it is helpful to know that these three planets will be forming harmonious aspects to each other from 2025 to 2028. They will be forming a minor trine, an aspect where two planets are trine (120 degrees) to each other and sextile (60 degrees) to the third one. This aspect shows that these three planets will be working together to create opportunities, growth and to help ease us through these rapidly changing times. Lets take a look at each of these planetary transits and the aspects they are making to each other for more insight.

Pluto in Aquarius - Pluto initially moved into Aquarius in 2023, but due to retrogrades back into Capricorn in 2023 and 2024, he did not fully go into Aquarius until January of this year. Pluto is about power, transformative change, endings, secrets and the underworld. In Aquarius he is about rebellion and revolution, the power of the people, and technology changing society. He also can be about how new technologies like the internet and AI can be abused by those in power. 

Neptune in Aries - Neptune transited into Aries on March 30, and will briefly retrograde back to Pisces this fall, then return in January 2026 to Aries. Neptune is spirituality and the collective dream. It is what we idealize and fantasize about. It also has connections to the ocean, chemistry, the arts and drugs and alcohol. In Aries we tend to idealize the individual, archetypes like the pioneer, the cowboy and the warrior. There is increased focus on self-reliance but also dangers in idealizing war or self-sufficiency to our collective detriment. We could also see oceans warming or naval warfare. There is also opportunity for spiritual leaders to emerge now.

Uranus in Gemini - On July 7, 2025, Uranus the planet of technology, chaos and sudden change (as opposed to Pluto's slow-moving change) moves into the communicative sign of Gemini. Like the other three planets he will briefly retrograde back into Taurus late this year and then go back into Gemini for the next 8 years. Uranus in Gemini has historically coincided with the US being at war (Revolution, Civil War, WW2) and then reinventing itself, so we will see if this pattern continues. Uranus is about technology and in Gemini we see leaps forward in both communication and transportation. Think trains, the postal service, radar, television, the basis for wifi and computers etc. which were all invented or came into widespread use during previous Uranus in Gemini periods. This era may see similar leaps forward in communication and transportation technology. 

Pluto in Aquarius trine Uranus in Gemini - Trines bring a sense of ease and expansion, and with both of these outer planets in air signs, new ideas and inspiration will flow freely. Pluto in Aquarius brings long term change in technology that will affect our society and the distribution of power. This will work well with the sudden leaps forward in new inventions that Uranus will bring. The next several years will mark profound changes to the way we communicate and travel. As these planets are in a trine, it shows that the changes will be relatively smooth and bring opportunities for many. 

Pluto in Aquarius sextile Neptune in Aries. Pluto has been relatively sextile Neptune for a most of the 20th century. However, the next few years sees them very close in degree to each other. Pluto sextile Neptune has been associated with an increase in interest in the paranormal, psychic abilities and alternative spiritualities. I expect this to continue but with a different tone. We may see new forms of spirituality that incorporates new technology, either using it as part of their practice or even worshiping it. We may also see the rise of new religions or charismatic leaders, who use technology to spread their messages. I also expect to see themes of mediumship and UFOs becoming more prevalent. 

Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries. Uranus is all about the unusual, the revolutionary and the weird. In Gemini he brings unusual ideas and as he is working with Neptune in Aries, we may see more strange ideas and innovations to spirituality. Expect to also see more charismatic and interesting spiritual leaders, and encouragement of self-reliance and individualism. This can have both positive and negative implications as this can help people to be more disciplined and independent and these leaders can inspire. However, the downside is fragmentation of beliefs, lack of empathy for others and conspiracy theories and cult leaders. As this is a harmonious aspect, I think this will lean more towards the positive, but it is good to be aware of how this energy could become toxic.

This mystical minor trine will be in effect for several years, so these will be long term influences and not any single event. Please note that Neptune will retrograde back into Pisces and Uranus into Taurus later this year. This trine will still be in effect, although the tone may slightly change. Overall, this aspect with all three outer planets over the next several years is encouraging us to collectively transform our relationship to power (Pluto) and our individual spirituality (Neptune) while navigating fast paced technological change (Uranus). By the time we arrive at 2030 the world will be a different place, and the gods are trying to help us to navigate the changes and make a better world for ourselves and others.
