End of an Era: The World With No Kings
The age of empire is ending, and what comes next isn’t collapse, but coherence.
Most people right now think the world is falling apart. Turn on the news or scroll socials media and you’ll see governments in crisis, economies cracking, wars raging and climates spiralling, so it’s easy to feel like we’re racing toward the edge of a waterfall, about to be dashed on the rocks below.
But the sky above tells a different story.
This isn’t the end of the world. It’s the end of an era.
This week, on October 14, Pluto - the planet of power, truth, and transformation - stations direct in the part of the sky known as Aquarius, beginning a twenty-year passage that will rewire civilization from the inside out.
The last time Pluto journeyed through this section of the heavens two centuries ago, the world birthed democracy, revolution, and electricity. Kings lost heads, churches lost control, and humanity gained the radical idea that power could belong to the people.
Now, the same archetype returns, but in digital form. We can tell by the position of the other planets that this revolution will be coded, streamed, and voted on in real time. The battlefield won’t be territory this time, but truth. The question isn’t who rules, but how we govern ourselves when everyone holds a microphone.
This isn’t an overnight revolution but a generational excavation - a dismantling of the old hierarchies and the redistribution of power through the collective. Aquarius is the sign of the rebel, the scientist, the truth-teller. It governs invention, information, and the invisible systems that connect humanity. When Pluto moves through Aquarius, it exposes the corruption in those systems and forces evolution through crisis.
Pluto in Aquarius will challenge humanity to balance technology with morality, freedom with responsibility, truth with noise. It will bring breakthroughs in AI, medicine, and consciousness, and expose how those same tools can enslave us. Every nation will face the same test: can collective power be used without collapsing into chaos?
The answer will define the next century.
By looking at the charts of some of the world’s power players - the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Israel, Palestine, Russia, Ukraine, and Australia - we can begin to see how this new era will unfold based on the patterns in the sky.
Despite what the headlines scream, we’re not tumbling into a void - we’re crossing a threshold. What comes next is turbulence that makes way for truth, revolution that births reform, and collapse that clears space for coherence.

The United States: The Empire of Exposure
Pluto’s station direct in Aquarius on October 14 lands squarely across the emotional centre of America’s chart - the nation’s core meets its underworld ledger. Every buried secret - from Wall Street rot to Washington cover-ups - hits daylight and the empire of performance collapses under the weight of proof.
The symbolism is literal and devastating, and playing out across multiple charts. Trump’s chart shows Pluto shaking his career axis: the cosmic equivalent of a hostile audit. The empire of personality that’s held America hostage since 2016 finally meets the one frequency it can’t manipulate - truth. From October 2025 through early 2026, the same weeks Epstein’s chart blazes with the celestial subpoena for exposure, Trump’s entire machinery of myth enters meltdown. What was once spectacle becomes evidence.
This is America’s truth hurricane: the point where every suppressed scandal, transaction, and betrayal threads together. The Epstein files, hush-money trails, QAnon networks, and foreign-money pipelines all form one composite revelation. Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t just topple kings - it connects the dots. And once the pattern is visible, it can’t be unseen.
As Trump’s grip weakens right now, the authoritarian reflex is spiking - propaganda shrieks louder, militias posture in public, loyalty tests replace logic. But this isn’t the rise of a dictatorship; it’s the death rattle of one. It’s the final act of the old system trying to convince America it’s still in charge.
Pluto moving into Aquarius sets off a sequence that tears Trump’s image from the throne. The very networks he built for control - social media, fringe media, dark-money PACs - fracture into infighting and exposure. Each defection, leak, and confession becomes a pixel of the same picture: the empire consuming itself.
Pluto strips Trump’s illusion of divine immunity, leading to events and revelations that will flip his standing overnight - from ruler to relic, from architect of chaos to its casualty. By February 2026, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries will dissolve the fantasy that spectacle equals power, and the crowd will wake up from the show.
What follows won’t be tidy, but it will be liberating. The United States won’t become a dictatorship, but it will look briefly like one dying on camera. What comes next will be a vacuum, and into that space will rush a new generation of reformers, whistle-blowers, and builders who understand that power without transparency can’t survive. America’s long obsession with saviors ends here. What replaces it is something braver: collective accountability.
When the storm passes, the silence will be strange. The machine that fed on noise will suddenly go quiet, and America - raw, blinking and hung-over - will begin the slow work of remembering who it is. Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t reward chaos; it rewards consciousness. From 2026 onward, the nation rebuilds not around personalities but principles.
The early years after Trump will be shaky. Power will fracture into factions, social-media empires will crumble, and the two-party system will wobble like an old bridge. Yet under the rubble, civic imagination will flicker back to life. Grass-roots networks will fill the space once occupied by cults of personality. Local journalism will revive. Artists, scientists, and community builders will become the new moral influencers. Aquarius decentralises power - everyone gets a piece of the microphone.
By 2028, truth becomes currency again. The generation raised on surveillance and propaganda will demand radical transparency. Their movement won’t look like politics; it will look like collaboration - tech cooperatives, citizens’ councils, collective-ownership models. The Constitution won’t be rewritten but re-booted for the network age.
The leaders who rise next won’t sell salvation; they’ll offer systems. Innovators, healers, and reformers who make process the new power word. Aquarius is invention and reform embodied, and America’s Pluto-in-Aquarius era is its second founding, a democracy that finally learns to live without idols.
By the time Pluto leaves Aquarius in the mid-2040s, the nation that once worshipped strongmen will have redefined strength itself. Truth will no longer depend on who shouts loudest, but on who shows their receipts.
This is America’s redemption arc - not the return of greatness, but the return of gravity. The U.S. Pluto Return stripped the body; Pluto in Aquarius restores the conscience. The experiment that began in 1776 evolves from independence to interdependence. The republic survives, but only by remembering that democracy isn’t a brand - it’s a practice.
The United Kingdom: The Long Confession
Britain right now is about where America was in 2008: standing on the edge of its long initiation. That was when the U.S. began walking toward its Pluto Return - when Pluto returned to the same place in the sky as at the nation’s birth, triggering the slow demolition of illusion, corruption, and self-denial that tore through its politics, culture, and collective psyche.
The United Kingdom will reach its Pluto Return in 2045, just as America did in 2023. And as Britain edges toward that reckoning - its finances strained, its institutions distrusted, populists preaching purity while feeding on chaos - the old emblems of British power, from the monarchy to Westminster, the tabloids to the City, face the same question America did: what’s real, and what’s performance?
For America, the years leading up to its Pluto Return were a crucible. From 2008 to 2023, the nation stumbled through an unrelenting purge: the global financial crisis shattered faith in markets; Occupy and Tea Party populism split the political soul; social media weaponised outrage; Trump rose from the wreckage as the embodiment of the unresolved shadow. Institutions that once anchored stability - Wall Street, Washington, the press, even the church - were dragged through corruption, denial, and exposure. By the time Pluto returned, America was stripped of its self-image and forced to reckon with what power had cost it. It’s still negotiating that reckoning now, just as Britain enters its own version of that same test.
The same tide that dragged America through revelation and reckoning is now crossing the Channel.
America went through its Pluto Return while Pluto moved through Capricorn, the sign of institutions, hierarchy, and control. That’s why the rot revealed itself through government, corporations, and systemic authority. But Britain’s initiation will be different. The UK’s Pluto Return arrives in Pisces, twenty years from now - meaning its reckoning won’t just be about power, but about soul.
Before that return can happen, Britain (like the rest of the world) must walk through Pluto in Aquarius - the twenty-year passage where systems dissolve, voices decentralise, and truth becomes collective rather than hierarchical. If America’s transformation was the fall of authority, Britain’s is the awakening of conscience.
In the UK, this transit will pry apart the old scaffolding of British life - the hierarchies, the hereditary privilege, the myth that power descends from above. Over the next two decades, this energy will strip away deference and mystique. The monarchy will become transparent and mortal. Westminster will lose its aura of inevitability. And the working class - long treated as the backdrop to empire - will become the protagonist again.
Populism will flare as the dying order thrashes for relevance, but that’s only the noise of redistribution - the sound a country makes as it exhales the old spell. What emerges is not chaos, but coherence: a new kind of Britishness defined by conscience over crown, connection over control.
For the UK, the the age of empire is over, and something better is trying to be born.
Nigel Farage and the Reform movement are symptoms of the dying system, not the seed of the new one. Pluto on his chart through 2025–26 is the “voice that eats itself” transit - the louder he shouts, the more hollow the echo. He’s the last flare of grievance politics before the dawn breaks.
Meanwhile, the monarchy - the House of Windsor - is in its own karmic unravelling. King Charles’s chart shows fatigue and retreat; William’s shows reluctant ascension and reinvention. The crown isn’t ending, but it is shedding its divine myth and becoming human again. That’s not tragedy - it’s truth catching up with ceremony.
Beneath it all, the UK chart hums with the same signature the U.S. felt fifteen years ago: the pressure to purify, the slow rebirth of national identity. The next twenty years are Britain’s long confession - the era where it stops pretending to be a system and remembers it’s a soul. There will be noise, division, and fear, but what’s dying isn’t the country; it’s the illusion that power must divide us to define us.
This is Britain’s spiritual refurbishment - the tearing down of the empire’s scaffolding so that something honest can stand in its place.
What comes next for the UK is not decline; it’s reclamation.
By the time Pluto leaves Aquarius in the mid-2040s, Britain will no longer recognise its old reflection. The empire’s shadow will have dissolved, and what remains will be a country rebuilt not on hierarchy but on honesty. The class scaffolding that once defined belonging will begin to loosen; the monarchy, slimmed down and symbolically mortal, will become more mirror than monument. Power will flow outward - through communities, technology, and conscience - rather than downward from the crown.
The decades ahead will be messy but redemptive. Economic models based on extraction will give way to those built on participation. The arts and civil sector - long starved of oxygen - will rise again as the moral compass of the nation. Faith, once fractured between church and cynicism, will re-emerge through shared purpose: a sense that compassion is the new currency of leadership.
By 2045, as Pluto completes its Return in Pisces, Britain will stand as something radically different: a moral rather than imperial power. The country that once exported dominance will export empathy, innovation, and truth. Its identity won’t rest on conquest, but conscience.
The United Kingdom’s next chapter isn’t the twilight of empire; it’s the dawn of authenticity. When the confession is done, what remains is a soul finally free to speak in its own voice.
Europe: The Reconfiguration
The European project enters Pluto in Aquarius like an overgrown machine learning to feel. The cautious, bureaucratic and rule-bound institutions built in the Capricorn era now face the Aquarian demand for transparency, democracy, and speed.
Pluto’s station direct on 14 October electrifies the EU’s chart, showing the people rebelling while leadership unravels. Farmers, workers, and youth movements rise against the faceless systems that claim to represent them. It’s the EU’s emotional earthquake, but it carries the seed of rebirth.
The same cosmic pulse returns in February 2026, when Saturn and Neptune meet at 0° Aries. In the EU chart they sit exactly on the Moon - the citizens again - while Mars squares Pluto in a bureaucratic collision. Ideals confront execution. Brussels discovers the limits of process; necessity demands heart. The dream of “ever-closer union” meets the invoice for it. Yet amid the compression, the continent remembers solidarity. Disasters, refugee crises, and shared technological reform teach Europe to cooperate from conscience rather than compliance.
By the mid-2030s, Pluto’s steady march through Aquarius re-codes the entire system. France endures revolt and renewal; Germany automates but moralises; Italy decentralises and rediscovers grace. The Union that emerges in the 2040s is looser, digital, and emotionally literate - less an empire, more an ecosystem.
Europe stops being a monument to paperwork and becomes what its founders intended: a living organism built on peace, cooperation, and purpose.
Russia & Ukraine: The Last Empire Standing
Pluto’s entry into Aquarius reopens the oldest wound in the European psyche - empire versus freedom.
Both modern Russia and Ukraine were born under the same celestial weather: one built a new empire around control; the other around community. Pluto’s move into Aquarius now tests which vision endures.
Russia’s natal chart shows a regime obsessed with dominance but terrified of irrelevance. Pluto movement across Russia’s chart shows an unmistakable symbol of power breaking down in full view of the world. 2025–2026 is the great unmasking: the state’s machinery of fear begins to corrode from within. By the late 2030s, Pluto dissolves the authoritarian model entirely. The empire collapses not in war, but in exhaustion.
Ukraine’s chart hums with the opposite frequency. Pluto in Aquarius moves over the parts of its chart that signal endurance and collective will. This is the rebirth transit of a people who refuse erasure. Saturn and Neptune’s Aries conjunction in February 2026 sits in the part of Ukraine’s chart that signifies the collective unconscious - showing both the trauma and the transcendence of nationhood. Ukraine becomes the crucible through which Eastern Europe redefines what sovereignty means in the 21st century.
Through the 2030s, Ukraine rises as a hub of technological resilience and moral authority. By contrast, Russia’s chart shows a slow implosion: delusion, denial, and decay. The mythology of empire dissolves.
The next two decades are the end of the imperial era. Russia’s chart can’t survive a world where glory must share the stage. Ukraine’s chart is the antidote - freedom through solidarity, courage through connection.
Out of their collision comes a rebirth not just of nations, but of the entire idea of power itself.
China: The Algorithm and the Soul
Pluto in Aquarius hits China where it lives - in its obsession with control.
The chart for the People’s Republic shows all the hallmarks of an image-obsessed collective. For decades, the system’s brilliance was its mask - unity through narrative, order through illusion. But as Pluto stations direct in Aquarius this October, the mask begins to crack.
Pluto sits directly on China’s natal Moon, pressing on the soul of the people. It’s the transit of emotional compression - obedience under psychic strain. The same aspect that once kept order now breeds quiet revolt. Workers, youth, and regions start refusing to play along. At first, it looks like apathy. In truth, it’s awakening.
By February 2026, Saturn and Neptune conjoin in Aries, squaring China’s ideological centre. The creed that powered the Party - discipline, production, sacrifice - meets the digital generation’s fatigue and confusion. This is the ideological audit: faith meets fact, and faith loses. The government’s image of omnipotence dissolves, replaced by bureaucratic anxiety disguised as efficiency drives.
China’s global image flips - a shock to reputation that rewires world power dynamics. Sanctions, tech embargoes, and moral backlash all chip away at Beijing’s aura of inevitability. Yet Aquarius brings innovation through breakdown: under Pluto’s pressure, a new China begins to emerge - less ideological, more inventive, spiritually restless, and unable to silence its own conscience.
The next twenty years will transform China from command economy to network organism. The Party won’t vanish, but its mythology will. What replaces it is a civilization rediscovering the difference between unity and uniformity.
By the time Pluto leaves Aquarius, China’s power won’t come from fear - it’ll come from the creativity that once hid beneath it.
The Middle East: The Human Reckoning
Pluto’s move into Aquarius electrifies the Middle East - the world’s oldest fault line between faith and freedom. The region that gave birth to prophets now faces its own apocalypse of accountability. What has been justified in the name of God will be tested in the court of humanity.
Israel’s chart shows the burden of identity built on survival. Pluto moving through Aquarius triggers a crisis of conscience, visibility, and moral leadership. The nation that once defined security by walls is being forced to reckon with the souls behind them. The next twenty years demand evolution from fortress to fellowship, or the loss of moral gravity itself.
Palestine’s chart is being awakened by the same Pluto frequency, burning away invisibility - the unseen becomes undeniable. Palestine becomes the mirror of this entire era: the collective voice of the voiceless. As Pluto crosses its chart, the story of erasure ends. Global empathy begins to rewire policy. Power loses its monopoly on truth.
Iran, the region’s spiritual crucible, sits at the centre of this reckoning. Pluto on its chart marks the implosion of the theocracy’s moral claim. By the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in February 2026, the regime faces the end of fear-based unity; its ideology dissolves into realism. Women, artists, and exiled voices lead the reform that priests couldn’t imagine. A nation once synonymous with repression begins to embody resurrection.
Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t choose sides; it exposes them. The myth of “chosen people” or “divine authority” collapses under the same cosmic law: evolve or be revealed. The region’s wars have always been over gods, land, and pride, but the next war is over empathy.
By the time Pluto leaves Aquarius in the 2040s, these nations will no longer be fighting over borders, but over belonging. The map will remain the same; the meaning of it will not.
Australia: The Mirror Continent
Pluto’s rise over Australia’s chart marks a once-in-a-century identity reboot. On October 14, Pluto stations direct within one degree of the national Midheaven - the cosmic subpoena for power to get real. Every nation under Pluto in Aquarius faces a truth reckoning, but for Australia, that truth sits squarely in the mirror. The myth of the “lucky country” dissolves, revealing a society wrestling with colonial ghosts, moral apathy, and the growing ache to mature.
Australia’s chart shows comfort, stability and belonging mixed with ambition, law and legacy. For 120 years, that combination built an image of respectability and restraint. But Pluto’s move through Aquarius now strikes the very top of the chart: leadership, reputation, identity on the world stage. The polite mask slips. The machinery shows.
From late 2025 through 2026, the skies force a reckoning between story and fact. Every illusion in media, politics, and self-image is cross-examined. Institutions that once relied on public trust (banks, police, press, and Parliament) face accountability. It’s the end of spin culture - the country’s spiritual hangover from denial.
The 2026 Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries falls across Australia’s governmental axis. The myth of moral neutrality - that Australia can stay comfortable while the world burns - expires. Climate realism, Indigenous truth-telling, and cultural accountability become the new moral pillars. As Pluto continues to sit atop the national chart, the call isn’t collapse; it’s adulthood.
By 2027, the chart shows a breaking of economic dependencies, beginning the shift from resource extraction to consciousness economy. The skies fore friction that births art, activism, and gender realignment. The real revolution here isn’t political - it’s psychological. Australia stops performing safety and starts embodying sovereignty.
This is the Dreamtime Reckoning: a nation shedding colonial charm for cosmic honesty. Where the UK must confess its empire, Australia must finally outgrow its borrowed myth of innocence. Under Pluto in Aquarius, it does - by remembering the land itself has always told the truth.
2044: The World After Kings
By the time Pluto finishes its march through Aquarius in 2044, the world looks nothing like the one that began it. The old empires - of money, monarchy, ideology, and image - will have collapsed under the weight of transparency. What survives is what can’t be faked.
Borders will still exist, but they’ll no longer define belonging. The real frontiers will be ethical and creative. Nations will be bound less by treaties than by shared technologies, shared truth, and shared conscience. Governments will function more like neural networks than hierarchies. Authority will live in proof, not position.
Religion will redistribute into reverence: less about dogma, more about awe. Power will no longer wears crowns or uniforms - it will move through those who tell the truth. The world won’t abolish leadership; it will evolve it. The new leaders will be architects, teachers, coders, healers, and artists. The institutions that survive will be the ones that can feel.
Pluto in Aquarius is the revolution of the invisible - code, conscience, connection. As it completes its twenty-year run, humanity will realise that evolution was never about domination, but integration. The collapse of kings will make way for the rise of communities. The myth of separation will finally end.
The age of Aquarius isn’t a utopia. It’s a mirror - one that forces us to see how divine humanity can be when it finally stops pretending to be gods.
The Return Home
The road ahead will not be gentle. We are walking through endings that look like collapse, systems that crumble before our eyes, and truths that sting when they surface. The world we built was comfortable in its denial - and truth is never comfortable. But don’t mistake the demolition for destruction. What’s breaking isn’t life; it’s the scaffolding that kept us from fully living it.
Every empire falls the same way: it forgets its heart. And every renaissance begins the same way: someone remembers it. That’s what this era is - the remembering.
As the noise peaks, as the old powers fight to keep their masks, as fear insists that everything is lost, keep your hand on your chest and know that the pulse you feel is the future. It isn’t leading us off a cliff into the void; it’s leading us home.
Home is not a place; it’s a frequency. The one we reach when truth and compassion finally occupy the same breath. As the world reconfigures, that’s the work asked of us: to keep our hearts open in the middle of the unmaking. To refuse the invitation to fear. To become the steady light inside the storm.
Because beneath every collapse is a deeper coherence waiting to be born. And if you can hold your nerve, your love, and your humanity through this transition, you will not only witness the new world - you will also help write it.
My intention in my writing is to lessen the climate of fear around world events by offering clarity and cosmic context for what’s unfolding; to bring context to the chaos. I believe our highest calling right now is to anchor in the vibration of love & truth and call in a more beautiful world, and to do that, we must lean out of fear. I hope you read this with an open, uplifted heart.
Your writing gives me hope and clarity... I've always felt that I have some sort of mission to fulfill in this lifetime, particularly in being a part of the Pluto in Scorpio generation. The clarity that you've outlined, for me, is in the "remembering" and the spirit of Renaissance. I think there's a huge sense of empowerment in realizing that everyone has unique skills and talents to bring to the table to creatively alchemize the rubble of what's being broken and to transform it into something that works better for all of us... The Japanese concept of "wabi sabi" comes to mind. Thanks for your work! 🙏
We all signed up to be on this earthly plane to witness this transition and rebirth. Many do not know the reasons or the WHY. Count your blessings if you do❤❤❤❤🌈🌈🌈🌈
