Investigating the Darker Side of Aquarius

One of the important astrological events happening in 2023 is the passage of the dwarf planet Pluto from the sign of Capricorn into Aquarius on March 23rd. During the last 15 years Pluto in Capricorn has directed its formidable powers of resurgence and transformation to expose the darker side of traditional, conventional systems and structures that have provided some semblance of material stability and security. We have witnessed Pluto’s disruptive and purging forces acting upon business, government and financial institutions as it roots out and deconstructs all that is toxic and decaying. What might we experience during the 20 year period of Pluto in Aquarius?

Aquarius is concerned with philosophy, ethics, reforming society and progressing into the future. It promotes humanitarian ideals, values equality, and is a champion for the unique individual. Pluto was last in Aquarius during 1778-1798, a period marked by revolution, extensive changes in social order and individual rights. It was also a time of scientific breakthroughs and the first industrial revolution. In the coming years we may witness unprecedented advances in science and technology, including genetic engineering and the use of machinery to enhance human longevity. We may also see advanced technological breakthroughs in computer science that affect our social media and global networking platforms. Pluto will work to reveal the darker side of these developments.

While we may be preoccupied with changes in the outer world, Pluto in Aquarius prods us to look deep within ourselves, to explore the mysteries of what it is to be human. How can we express our own uniqueness as an individual within the context of society? Do we protect and promote the freedom of others? How can we come into a greater knowing of our own strength and power, instead of attempting to control others? In what ways can we temper rebelliousness with self-control? Can we find innovative ways to cooperate and share resources on our planet? Through self-transformation we can play our part moving humanity into the future.

Courage: The Divine Virtue of Aries

Divine virtues are qualities our Soul, or higher Self, would like us to cultivate and express in life in order to grow spiritually. Our life challenges are designed to help us develop divine virtues within ourselves. Rob Schwartz (yoursoulsplan.com) recognizes some of the divine virtues as being “Master Key” virtues. They facilitate the development of other virtues by providing an access point for them.

I associate the divine virtue of courage with the sign of Aries. Rob Schwartz includes courage as one of the Master Key virtues. Courage is associated with all other virtues, because it is required at their testing point. As Maya Angelou states, “Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.” 

A cardinal fire sign, Aries is concerned with the future and needs to create new goals and objectives, new beginnings in life. It is a daring, strong pioneer and adventurer. It stands alone, not needing to depend on another. Its urge is to move forward, directing its independent personal energy outwardly into the world. 

Aries creates new life experiences from self-awareness of its needs and desires. It has the courage to move into new experiences without knowing the outcome. Aries operates spontaneously and instinctively, bravely facing obstacles, challenges and limitations head-on. Not put off by mistakes or failures, it begins again.

Any planets in Aries in your natal horoscope, or Houses containing the sign of Aries, indicate how and where you can cultivate the Divine Virtue of courage and take action independently in life. This will help you move forward, taking action as an autonomous force creating your own future. 

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”     – T. S. Eliot
