Aspects
Neptune Conjunction Pluto
The slowest of all the planetary cycles; the last conjunction was in the 1890s, seeding the modern age. It marks not an individual but an era's deep psyche, the dissolving and regeneration of collective ideals and shadows. For almost everyone now living the two move instead in the long sextile. Where the conjunction does fall, it speaks of being born into a profound civilizational turning. At its best it midwifes the rebirth of a culture's soul.
Lean in — Read this as the deep psyche of an era, not a personal trait.
Watch for — Mistake a civilizational rhythm for an individual flaw.
