Is the era of hidden power coming to an end? In this episode of World Astrology Report, Astrologer Dan Waites explores a provocative thesis by astrologer John Michael Greer: Pluto is dying.
Since its astronomical demotion in 2006, Greer argues that Pluto—the planet of oligarchy, secrecy, and nuclear power—is losing its astrological potency. We dive deep into the "Plutonian Era" (1900–2036) and examine how historical discovery cycles of planets like Uranus and Neptune have mirrored massive global shifts, from the Industrial Revolution to the rise of Communism.
Furthermore, we look at the research of Rosie Finn, whose work on Pluto’s "out of bounds" cycles suggests that the next ten years represent a final, titanic struggle for power before a fundamental shift in human history. From the "Great Reset" to the true meaning of the Age of Aquarius, we explore whether we are witnessing the collapse of totalitarianism and the birth of a new era of individual sovereignty.
