From the astrological point of view, there is a big difference between the energies that are generated by a lunar and a solar eclipse. The lunar eclipse will generate energies that will have an impact on our psyche, while the solar eclipse will have an impact on our exterior and our interaction with the world on a physical level.
What encompasses the shadow of the eclipse is said to be the area that receives most of the energy, beyond the fact that the impact is global.
When this article is published, the war between Russia and Ukraine is ongoing, and Sweden and Finland are in a moment of tension with Russia, since they want to be part of the European bloc. Coincidentally, the countries in conflict, like their neighbors, are under the ‘shadow’ of the eclipse.
Now, what is the meaning of the aspects of the eclipse mentioned at the beginning of the article?
Pluto square against the constellation of planets like the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus speaks of a transformative energy shock. Pluto continues to transit the sign of Capricorn, which rules structures, governments, international organizations just to mention the most important topics, and by squaring this conglomeration of planets, it not only speaks of a transformative energy, reaching topics such as trade, travel, communications and finances, but also of profound changes.
It is worth mentioning that all these areas will be significantly affected. This will start a process of change and transformation in which we may all be involved.
During the lunar eclipse of January 10, 2020, Pluto was only in opposition to the Moon (it was in conjunction with the Sun) and today we can see the psychological effect it caused on a large part of the world’s population during 2020 and the 2021, of which the effects can still be seen today. On this occasion, Pluto squares not only the Moon but also the planets mentioned. Just these aspects can have a significant effect on everyone considering that it is not an eclipse of the Moon but of the Sun. It is an external manifestation that can affect the people’s main.
Both the governments and the world population, represented by the Sun and the Moon respectively, will go through a period of adjustment and transformation. In our article about the solar eclipse of April 30, 2022, we talked about the regenerative aspects that the eclipse had and mentioned that by end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 would the results of that energy will begin to materialize, which can be defined as positive.
It seems that the upcoming solar eclipse of October 25 will be the peak that makes us hit rock bottom, and months later it would be seen that things begin to take another direction. It looks like first some events need to happen in order to shake people up in order to get their priorities in order.
Mercury squaring Pluto can bring about a significant change in trade and travel. Regarding trade, after reaching the peak of globalization, a significant change may indicate a return to local trade, prioritizing exchange within each country. About travel, everything points to more restrictions. If we see all the changes that have occurred with air travel from 2001 onwards, it would be very strange if all the restrictions were lifted. Everything points to more control and restrictions.
Venus squaring Pluto affects the financial side. The world can go through the collapse of certain currencies which leads to the revaluation and change of currency denomination in some countries. The collapse of the stock markets, which can occur mainly because multinational companies been affected by restrictions on trade and travel as mentioned by the aspect of Mercury. Possibly governments will put restrictions or high tariffs on imports to defend their integrity.
Uranus squaring Saturn, we have to consider the technological part of Uranus being restricted by Saturn, which governs the power structures. This can impact cryptocurrencies which operation relies 100% on the technology working properly. The aspects mentioned for Venus also apply to this sector because of the finances.
The quincunx between Pluto and Mars, although it is not an aspect that is commonly mentioned, in this case it is worth doing. Mars the god of war and Pluto regent of the atomic and profound transformations, considering the circumstances in which we find ourselves, makes us think. This aspect generates disharmonic energy between the two parts. This aspect during a warlike conflict is not good. Pluto rules the atomic, Mars the war.
In this regard there are two facts to mention that cannot escape people’s memory, which are the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
On June 25, 1945, a lunar eclipse occurred in Capricorn. In that eclipse, Pluto squared Mars. Eclipses prior to this one may have had similar aspect (it is not frequent), but keep in mind that something that does not exist cannot be used. Even if that condition had been present during an eclipse, there were no atomic bombs before 1945.
This aspect speaks that atomic weapons can be used, but it does not speak of a nuclear holocaust, there is a continuation. It could be that they are used in certain military, communications, and strategic targets only. If this happens, it could lead to restrictions on travel and international trade. Just thinking that the global GPS system could be affected, commercial aviation would cease to operate.
Another quincunx occurs between Jupiter and the Sun, the Moon and Mercury which also speaks of problems in communications, trade, and travel.
Neptune quincunx with Mercury creates confusion with issues related to Mercury in addition to what was mentioned above.
Following there is a link related to the situation in the United States and the transformation process which the country is going through. At some point, it is very likely that the United States will intervene directly in the war, beyond the weapons support it is currently providing Ukraine. This may speak of a magnification of the conflict that will undoubtedly affect the great world economies. Already the shadow of the eclipse includes Europe and Eastern countries, in addition to the process active in the United States. The sum of all these aspects can impact the world economy at a level difficult to predict.
It only remains to hope that this happens with the least possible impact on the population. Jupiter entering directly into the sign of Aries by the end of 2022, will give us the possibility of beginning a new cycle in the development of humanity. Without a doubt, each one will have to contribute their own for this to happen.
Interesting article. Is there any other way that the Pluto-Mars relationship could be interpreted, other than as nuclear war? How many times since 1945 has Pluto squared Mars during a lunar eclipse and what happened afterwards (obviously, there was no nuclear war)?
Very interesting question! There are 2 or 3 solar eclipses every year and the speed of Pluto and Mars and very different. There are 6 points within their degree of separation that will present a challenging aspect. Pluto takes around 240+ years to transit the 12 zodiacal signs while Mars around 2+ years. Those 6 points I mentioned need to coincide with an eclipse. Astrology follows energy cycles, is just like the weather patterns and prediction on the path of a hurricane for example. The energy is there but in the case of predicting events, human intervention has the final word. Nothing is written in stone. That been said, with the forecast for the Unites States, the presidential inauguration and the shadow of the eclipse, all adds up to a higher possibility. Time will tell. Thanks again for your good question.
My take is that we could be witnessing history being made this year, with the key turning point (low point?) coming in October. Looking at what’s going on in Ukraine, and the resulting division of nations over the issue, it seems the world is shifting from a unipolar structure to a multipolar structure where the US might be one of several great powers, rather than a lone hegemon. Pluto also represents the possibility of transformation, if I understand correctly, and so perhaps the vehicle for this transformation will be through the current war, with the current political, financial and economic global order being broken and then reborn. Specifically I’m referring to the USD reserve status, the monetization of debt in the West since 2008 to produce “growth”, globalization, and the realization that the US military’s ability to intervene at will abroad is more limited than the world had assumed. It looks like a declining empire is looking to pick a fight (on advantaged terms) to try and preserve its #1 status, but it doesn’t know where to pick that fight right now – the war in Ukraine to bleed out Russia isn’t going to plan, so we’ve seen the rhetoric around this conflict change a lot in the past month or two and the narrative is slowly being pushed back towards China, which now may be perceived as the better of the two (Russia or China) to pick on. However, China is also no pushover, and so the powers that be are trying to figure out what plan to take action on while the clock is ticking and the geopolitical ground is shifting under their feet (Asian and Middle Eastern countries have almost completely refused to follow the Western line on the Ukraine war, more countries are applying for BRICS membership, etc.)
A big economic depression and market collapse brought on by high food and energy prices and/or shortages could hit right in the autumn, when the harvest in the northern hemisphere gets under way, the weather turns colder, and so the next round of high energy (heating), fertilizer, and chemicals prices will get passed through to consumers, with western Europe in particularly vulnerable position. This scenario would line up well with the other planetary relationships you outlined in the article.
Any use of nuclear weapons anywhere would likely be a world-ending scenario, so I find that unlikely. Nukes are a weird weapon; they’re only useful as long as you don’t use them; first guy to lob a nuke at someone else makes them irrelevant going forward and probably also dooms the entire world. Their value is 100% in their threat potential, not in their actual use.
Another possibility might be an accident at a nuclear plant in the war zone. Zaporozhie in Ukraine is home to the largest nuclear plant in Europe, and it’s very close to the front lines right now.
Thank you for your comment. As you mentioned we are in a ‘process’ of change. Things are not going to be in the future as they are today, probably in more aspects that we can think of. This is a process that started in 2008 when Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn. Every structure, from governments to corporations will have to change, something that the powers that be tried to avoid so far.
An article from August 2019 talks about that.

The US is going through a change similar to the time of the independence and the civil war, there is no reference to both aspects in the US at the same time but entitles a big change.

Change is happening everywhere. Change provides the possibility to make things better. We must hope for consciousness to prevail during this process.
