Period 9 and Pluto in Aquarius: This Convergence is a Big Deal
Can’t sleep. The world feels restless tonight. I literally feel it in my body. So, what do I do? Write.
There’s a heaviness in the atmosphere, a strange ‘electric uneasiness’ is reverberating just beneath the surface of things. Maybe it’s we collectively feel “the shift.” Based on my years of astrological studies, many spiritual teachers, advisors, and astrologers are all saying this moment marks the start of something profound — new cycles, old patterns dissolving, and a fire meant to illuminate paths we’ve long ignored. I hear their words about abundance and growth, but my mind lingers on what’s left unsaid.
For a man like me, promises of a better future often sound empty. I’ve observed numerous seasons filled with empty rhetoric and grandiose visions that crumble upon closer examination. They’ll claim it’s a fresh start, but whose story will it truly be?
HIS-story — again?
This “shift” they talk about — one tied to energies I’ll never fully understand — carries both a pull and a push. It stirs something ancient in me, a voice older than this country, coupled with the constant nudges and guidance from my spirit guides and ancestors that I should stay vigilant. This could be the kind of change that turns everything inside out. But I can’t shake the question: change for whom?
America’s vision of progress often overlooks men like me. My history isn’t written in their glowing headlines or in their declarations of hope. It’s in the cracks beneath their polished wooden floors, in the scars of my ancestors, and in the resilience we carry despite their disregard. When they talk about building something new, I’ve learned to listen for what’s being left out.
I believe the stars have aligned and are aligning in a way that eases us into this next really huge overhaul for all of humanity.
2024 is a Li Trigram year. In Feng Shui, the Li Trigram is associated with Period 9, which begins on February 4, 2024, and ends on February 3, 2044. Period 9 marks a new 20-year cycle in the Feng Shui time system known as the Flying Stars.
Check out this timeline:
March 23, 2023 — Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time.
June 11, 2023 — Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn.
January 20, 2024 — Pluto re-enters Aquarius.
February 4, 2024 — Period 9 begins, marking a new 20-year cycle.
September 1, 2024 — Pluto retrogrades into Capricorn again.
November 19, 2024 — Pluto enters Aquarius and remains there until March 8, 2043.
March 8, 2043 — Pluto transitions into Pisces.
February 4, 2044 — Period 9 concludes, transitioning to Period 1.
This timeline illustrates the overlapping periods of Pluto’s transit through Aquarius and Period 9, both of which are associated with themes of transformation and innovation.
We are at the front door of a 20-year convergence that’s considered to be quite significant
One of the final astrological happenings as this Beaver moon along with Leonids meteor shower on November 17, 2024. Then on November 19th, Pluto transits into Aquarius for the next 20 years. Then in 77 days, Period Nine begins. The 20-year cycle is governed by the Li Trigram, associated with abundance, growth, and the Fire element, symbolizing transformation and innovation. The transition into Period 9 marks a significant shift in Feng Shui energies, influencing various aspects of life and environment. This non-coincidental correlation is our chance as a collective to finally “GET IT RIGHT!”
So, with this being said, there’s a flicker of something I can’t quite name — a thought that maybe this fire isn’t just about destruction. Maybe, for once, it’s a chance to create. To rebuild on terms that include voices like mine, perspectives they’ve ignored for too long. But even that hope feels fragile, its edges sharp enough to cut if I hold it too tightly.
Although I have no children of my own, I think about my brothers and sisters and their children, and the generations coming after me. About the kind of world they’ll inherit. This moment, this so-called turning point, could be an opening for them — or another storm to weather. I want to believe their families aren’t passing down lessons to hate to their children to treat people of color as something ‘less than’ or ‘not human’. I also want to believe in the possibility of balance, of systems that don’t crush or divide. But I’ve lived too long, seen too much, to wait idly for others to decide what’s fair.
Whatever’s coming, I’ll meet it head-on. Not because I believe in the promises being made, but because I recognize that the fight is still worth pursuing.
Even in the haze of uncertainty, I won’t let go of the belief that somewhere in the fire, there’s room to rebuild a future that is quick to snuff out hate and discourse.
So, on this last supermoon we’ll see for a whole year, I finally released the need to be understood. I shed all my old, inefficient, and unhealthy habits and thoughts. I let go of the version of myself that was overly eager to share too much. I release and let go of the old me that held me back — the one who was afraid to take risks, who was quick to respond without giving proper thought before doing so. That version of me has been driving my actions and life for the past two decades. However, this new version of me recognizes the lessons learned and doesn’t need to repeat this cycle anymore. It has reached a state of completeness.
PS — Even though I chose to share tonight’s journey entry with you, I write these words to remind myself. To hold myself accountable. If there’s anything I’ve learned in forty-eight years, it’s that we all should to be paying attention. Watching the signs, reading between the lines, and carving out a space for yourself when no one else will. We are at the front door of a 20-year convergence that’s considered to be quite significant; symbolizing a time of profound global transformation and new opportunities.
