Back in 2023, I wrote about something big happening over the United States.
Between 2023 and 2024, two solar eclipses traced a path across the country. I called them cosmic drumbeats—building, building, building toward something monumental.
I also reminded you that the US was experiencing its Pluto return—a once-in-244-years event that signals massive transformation, death, rebirth, and the collapse of what is no longer true.
And I said this:
“The next four years will be a birthing process. Birth is never easy. But at the end, we get a new baby.”
Well. It’s now April 2026. Three years have passed.
Let’s look back at what happened—and where we stand now.
What I Predicted Then (2023)
I wrote that the eclipses were building toward a spiritual breakthrough. That the atmosphere would feel tense, chaotic, even unbearable at times. That we would experience contractions—intense, scary, uncomfortable.
I said: “Don’t let the current atmosphere bring you down. Keep love in your hearts. Keep your eyes on the prize.”
I also said: “We have all decided to be incarnated at this time. What is your role? Are you a part of the problem, or a part of the solution?”
Those questions still matter. Maybe now more than ever.
What Actually Happened (2023–2026)
The Eclipses of 2023–2024
The Annular Solar Eclipse (October 2023) and the Total Solar Eclipse (April 2024) crossed the United States from Texas to Maine. Millions of people witnessed them. The energy was undeniable.
In the months surrounding those eclipses, we saw:
-
Intensified political division – The 2024 election cycle became one of the most contentious in modern US history
-
Legal battles – The very nature of democracy, voting rights, and governance was contested
-
Social unrest – Protests, counter-protests, and a deepening sense of “us vs. them”
-
Revelations – Pluto’s job is to bring hidden things to light. Secrets, scandals, and buried truths surfaced on all sides
The eclipses didn’t cause these things. They illuminated them.
The US Pluto Return (February 2024)
Pluto returned to the exact degree it occupied in the US birth chart (Sibley chart, July 4, 1776). This happens once every 244 years.
What followed?
-
A reckoning with power – Who holds it? Who abuses it? Who is accountable?
-
A collapse of old structures – Institutions that had stood for decades (or centuries) began to crumble or transform
-
Hidden truths revealed – Pluto does not ask permission. It digs. It exposes. It forces us to look at what we’ve been avoiding
-
A national identity crisis – What does it even mean to be American anymore?
This was not comfortable. It was not clean. It was Pluto doing what Pluto does: killing what is false so that what is true can live.
The Aftermath (2024–2026)
The eclipses have passed. The Pluto return is technically over (Pluto has moved on). But the effects are still unfolding.
Here’s where we are now, in April 2026:
| Area | What We’ve Seen | Where We Are Now |
|---|---|---|
| Politics | Record levels of distrust, legal battles, election disputes | Still healing. Still fighting. But the old rules are gone. |
| Economy | Inflation, supply chain issues, crypto crashes, housing shifts | Stabilizing, but not “back to normal.” Normal is dead. |
| Social fabric | Deep division, but also new alliances and community building | People are choosing their tribes more consciously. |
| Media | Collapse of trust in legacy outlets; rise of independent voices | Confusing, but also liberating. You have to discern for yourself. |
| Spirituality | Massive surge in interest in astrology, energy healing, meditation | People are seeking meaning outside old religious and political structures |
The Birthing Process: Where Are We Now?
I said the four years from 2023 to 2027 would be a birthing process. We are now three years in, with one year remaining.
Here’s what I’m observing:
The Contractions Are Still Coming
But they are different now. Less chaotic. More purposeful. The panic is fading. The work is beginning.
The Old Is Dying
Institutions, beliefs, and identities that were built on lies or illusions are collapsing. This is painful for those attached to them. But it is necessary.
The New Is Not Fully Here Yet
That’s the hardest part of any birth. The baby is not fully out. We are in the transition zone—no longer what we were, not yet what we will become.
Love Is Still the Answer
I said it then. I’ll say it now: we have to keep love in our hearts as we work through these issues. Not weak love. Not passive love. But the kind of love that fights for justice without becoming the thing it fights against.
What About the US Pluto Return – Is It Over?
Technically, the exact Pluto return occurred in February 2024. But Pluto’s energy doesn’t just disappear.
Think of it like this:
-
The event (exact return) = the peak of the contraction
-
The aftermath (2024–2028) = the pushing phase, the delivery, the first cries of the new
We are still in the aftermath. Still pushing. Still breathing through it.
The new America—whatever it will look like—has not fully arrived. But it is coming.
Your Role: Revisited
Three years ago, I asked you two questions. I’m asking them again today:
1. What is your role in all of this?
Not what you think you should do. Not what others expect. But what are you actually called to do?
-
Maybe it’s activism
-
Maybe it’s community building
-
Maybe it’s raising children with integrity
-
Maybe it’s healing yourself so you can heal others
-
Maybe it’s simply staying kind when everything around you is not
2. Are you a part of the problem, or a part of the solution?
There is no neutral ground in a transformation this deep. Not choosing is still a choice.
-
If you are spreading fear, division, or hatred—you are part of the problem.
-
If you are hoarding resources while others suffer—you are part of the problem.
-
If you are staying silent when you know you should speak—you are part of the problem.
-
If you are loving, serving, speaking truth, and building something better—you are part of the solution.
What’s Coming Next (2026–2028)
The birthing process is not over. Here’s what I see on the horizon:
2026
-
Jupiter enters Cancer (exalted) on June 1 – Protection, home, family, emotional truth
-
Jupiter opposite Pluto – The people vs. power structures. This will intensify.
-
Saturn in Pisces – Spiritual discipline. We are being asked to integrate what we’ve learned.
2027
-
Saturn enters Aries – New beginnings. The first breath of the new.
-
The Gandanta zone – May to July 2027. A knot of karma. Intense but transformative.
2028
-
Pluto fully out of Capricorn – The worst of the structural collapse may be behind us
-
A new cycle begins – What we build from here will last for generations
Final Thoughts: Keep Your Eyes on the Prize
Three years ago, I said: “Don’t let the current atmosphere bring you down. We have to keep love in our hearts as we work through the issues before us.”
I stand by every word.
The atmosphere is still heavy sometimes. The news is still stressful. The future is still uncertain.
But look how far we’ve come.
We have survived eclipses, a Pluto return, a pandemic, political upheaval, and a collective identity crisis. We are still here. We are still breathing. We are still choosing.
The baby is not fully born yet. But it is almost here.
One more year of the birthing process remains. 2026 and 2027 will ask more of us. But then? Then we get to meet the new.
So keep your eyes on the prize. Keep love in your heart. And know, with absolute certainty, that you chose to be alive at this time for a reason.
You are not a victim of history. You are a maker of it.
Now go make it something beautiful.
