From 2010 to 2016, the planets Uranus and Pluto face off in a tense, dynamic square. In a sense, the first 5 years of the 2010s, each individual and all aspects of culture and social structure are being pummeled, remolded, and transfigured by the relentless Uranus-Pluto force. (more)

Uranus and Pluto in the dynamic square aspect promise a totalizing effect that catalyzes a radical shapeshift in culture, stripping us of what is no longer essential and what has outlived its usefulness.  It will be up to the artists, healers, and lightworkers to vibrate at a frequency so high as to magnetize others in our collective ascension to a more enlightened species.
