Pluto is still in Capricorn, but Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) is now in Aquarius, which means ….
Society might be shopping for a new “bad guy”, the black sheep that will knowingly or unwittingly wear the collective's shadow so we might work on our issues, personal and/or as a group, in absolution.
Where or upon whom does the collective now project its shadow?
or
What or who is the collective’s new shadow?
What or who is the collective’s new shadow?
I'm going with technology. Great question.
Bill Gates maybe? He is already taking a hit. He is a scorpio and has his pluto in leo. Born a few days before me. Then there is Joe Biden also a scorpio. Kamila Harris also a strong scorpio natal chart. Scorpios tend to get alot of Sh@@ thrown at them that peeps just overlook in other signs. Speaking as a scorpio who has dared to go where others do not tread.
I agree with Elsa, and that "Social Dilemma" movie has already planted the idea in a lot of people's heads. Technology is definitely not above suspicion from the collective.
On that note, has anyone noticed the category on Netflix called "Fight the System TV Shows"? Gross! What a segue from Pluto/Saturn in Capricorn to Aquarius...

I just finished watching that movie several minutes ago. I don't know how it escaped me 'til now, I'm an internet addict. Unabashed! My mind is blown. I guess I'm going to try and follow some of the advice, one of which is to NOT click on YouTube's recommendations. That's difficult! I've found great stuff with their recommendations. And therein lies another dilemma!
Technology companies have so much control over our life and they have become increasingly authoritarian. They are just a tool for humans to communicate and do business and I hope Pluto will put them back in their proper place.
They are our new bad guy because slowly, over the years they've gotten out of control while we weren't looking. They are all powerful now. They know everything about all of us and its all been saved for years, for later use. They want to know more and more about you all the time and the question is why. It really is scary and I hope we can change things before Pluto enters Aquarius. Its time to knock them down, alot.
It really reminds me of that movie scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey
I guess i'm confused about the Collective Shadow. If technology is wearing the shadow....it's a projection of the culture's own darkness.....correct?
Yes, that is my understanding too.
So, for example, new laws and regulations around technology (Saturn in Aquarius) might become the reflection/projection through which the collective may experience something within the self that fears change. Technology can turn what we know on its head by changing everything, what we've come to value (Uranus in Taurus), and really fast … Aquarius is a fixed sign that can get dogmatic, resist and rebel if the drums don’t beat at its own unique rhythm. Also, we often forget there is creative energy in Aquarius, though different from Leo. So, people who struggle to take responsibility (Saturn) or who are afraid (Saturn) to take control in creating change in themselves or in their lives, will likely be found taking refuge in mob, group protests against Technology/Bill Gates/Google or Big Tech etc., (Aquarius). In order to create we also need to recognize our unique individual purpose, so a person projecting this fear would most likely find comfort in collective causes (Aquarius) as a means to create within the self (Leo).
In other words, we are now going through a phase of balancing the 11th/5th axis or Aquarius/Leo by projecting through Pluto in Capricorn.
I also think religion or the Vatican might be another, as a conduit for hopes and wishes (Aquarius). One might even wonder about the symbolism of the “Christmas Star” and the rather curious Nativity scene at St. Peters Square.
thank you OW. That helps a great deal. I have an opposition in my Progressed chart that warns of projection (Sun/Pluto) and I think I might be susceptible to this kind of projection as I have natal Jupiter/Saturn in Aquarius.
