@gbs The transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius has been going on for a while now, but it has certainly sped up a bit recently and will continue to do so as we get further and further over the "border". The signs of Pisces and Aquarius have a pretty large overlap in the sky, so the transition won't be fully complete until we're past the past point of the overlap. I'm not sure when that actually happens, but it's still at least a few decades away, I think. I know that we're at least past the mid-point of the transition, which probably accounts for the increase in the old falling away as the new comes in.
@gbs Back in 2010 I received the dates of mid 2025 to 2028 as a major shift from a patriarchal to matriarch age. We will see a female president and vice president and also likely a female Speaker of the House. I posted this in 2016 and a reader whose alias is @Asian, told me my predictions corresponded to the Kali Yuga shifts from patriarchal to matriarchal age.
Although I am not an astrologer, your point about Pluto exiting Capricorn in 2024 also fits a vision I had a few days before the 2016 election. I saw a vision of Pluto, God of the underworld, dominating our world, stealing our innocence (as in the Greek myth of the rape of Persephone).
In the myth, Pluto steals Persephone and takes her to the underworld. Her mother, the Goddess of the Grain, was so distraught that the crops wouldn't grow. So the people forced Pluto to bring her back.
In a vision many years before, I'd seen that in mid to late 2020's we'd see a permanent (1000 year) drought in the U.S. heartland. The drought is brought on a combination of climate change, which is patriarchally-driven, and zealous growers who refuse to moderate their water use. My visions add up to your astrology, that around the mid 2020's Pluto is out and so are the Republicans.
@jeanne-mayell The matriarch age also aligns with feng shui period 9, which is supposed to start in 2024. Period 9 is associated with the Li trigram, which symbolizes the second/middle daughter, or middle-age woman. Li trigram is also associated with the fire element and relates to 'eyes'. Excerpt about period 9 related industries below from https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flying-star-feng-shui-period-9-2024-2043-which-from-shih-shen/
Period 9 is of Fire element and relates to the 'Eyes' . Fire industries include the internet, Information technology, Artificial intelligence(AI), energy, art & culture, tourism related industry, media & entertainment (using the sight), beauty related services, content marketing. We already see the technology trends mentioned by Gartner and Forrester such as AI, Blockchian, Virtual reality etc. Companies that are Digital transformed will do well with digital engagement tools. Any brick and mortar industry not related to Fire industry can still do well if it adopts elements of 'Fire' element like digitalisation or change their business models to digital engagement with customers.
For comparison purposes, period 8 (2004-2023) is associated with Kan (or Ken) trigram, the earth element, and symbolizes young men. The young men symbolization can be seen in the prominence during this period of people like Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. Earth element is also associated with real estate industry.
I'm not extremely well-versed in this topic, but I enjoy reading about it. However, it is difficult to find good information in English. I also find parallels between western astrology and feng shui even though they come from completely different origins.
One of the examples is from this blog post, which hypothesizes that the official dates for the feng shui periods might be off by a few years because historically, 20-year feng shui cycles typically line up with Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions and Period 9 may have officially started December 21 2020 rather than the anticipated 2024 timeframe because 20-year periods were approximations rather than exact timing. https://www.masterseanchan.com/blog/when-feng-shui-period-nine-starts-why-every-feng-shui-master-is-wrong/
Jupiter is in Aries for the first time in 11 years. Jupiter is the planet of luck, abundance and expansion. Jupiter moved into Aries on May 10 and will remain there until October 28.
So for any fellow Arians out there, this period should be a really important period for you.
I know that Coyote was a fellow Arian here, but I am not sure how many others are on here.
Anyway, just thought I would let you know if you didn't know already.
We're 1 degree away from the next pass of Pluto over the US natal Pluto on July 13. So we'll be feeling the influence of the planet ever more strongly until then (themes of death, rebirth, transformation, power, control, bringing to light that which is buried, etc.).
After July 13, the next peaks of Pluto on the US chart will be in December 2022 and October 2023.
We're in the very thick of it now. I keep reminding myself that this Pluto Return heralds the birth of something new, but the pain of it can be crushing, as it is today.

This is the second pass of Pluto over the US Pluto. The first one was in February, the next one is in July and then there will be two more passes, in December 2022 and October 2023. We'll feel the current energies wane a bit by mid-August, when the July pass finishes, but they'll be back again in November.
The first passes of any difficult transit usually are the most challenging ones. They expose what we have neglected, how we may have lied to ourselves, or gone against our better nature. With Pluto, the Scorpionic planet, these first passes can feel existential, with things revealed that feel nihilistic and destructive, a true dark night of the soul.
But Pluto doesn't expose these things for no reason. It's for the individual (or in this case the country) to see the full depth and breadth of the problem, so that they can fully understand the trauma and begin to take action to cleanse and heal it.
Since we're only in the second pass of Pluto, I believe we're still in the uncovering phase, forced to look at the most painful parts of our national nature: the violence and abuse used to exert control over life and death, the arrogation of power to a few, and the toxic effects of the annihilation of the native peoples who were here before the Europeans arrived and the subjugation of slaves.
Pluto presents an opportunity to make great and lasting changes, but it requires every last resource that the person (or country) has at their disposal to do so. Pluto doesn't put up with half-commitments.
We will get through this and come out the other side a better, wiser, fairer, and more just country. But we have a lot of work to do at many levels before we arrive there.

I believe we're still in the uncovering phase, forced to look at the most painful parts of our national nature:
I see it like the lancing of a nasty infection: It's really gross when all the icky stuff comes out but healing cannot happen otherwise.
