🪐 Astrological Context of the Moment
On June 24, 2022, the sky held several slow cycles at full cock, “ripening” for decades. The central one became Uranus in Taurus (17°28′) in the 9th house, which closely conjoined Rahu (17°28′ Uranus ☌ Rahu 2.8°) and the MC (Uranus ☌ MC 2.9°), while Rahu itself was in an exact conjunction with the MC (0.1°). This triple configuration — a revolutionary blow straight to the axis of the social contract (MC — authority, status, courts). Saturn in Aquarius (24°56′ ℞) in the 6th house stood on the Descendant (1.3°), which means legal pressure “from above” on partnerships and rights — like an old refrigerator of the system that refuses to yield to the new. Pluto in Capricorn (27°56′ ℞) in the 6th house, completing its 15-year transit through the sign of hierarchies, formed a sextile with Neptune in Pisces (2.5°) — an ideal channel between the energy of destroying old structures and the mystical wave of the collective unconscious. Mars in Aries in the 9th house (house of courts and higher decisions) gave the order to action, while Jupiter in Aries in the 8th house — expansion through crisis. The square of the Sun (Cancer, 11th house) to Jupiter (3.8°) added conflict between personal security and inflated ideals.
⚡ Potential and Power of the Event
Why exactly then, and not earlier or later? In the chart there are four stelliums — incredible density of energy. Stellium in the 8th house (Mars, Jupiter, Chiron) — a collective life‑and‑death crisis, reproductive rights, medical resources. Stellium in the 9th house (Moon, Mars, Uranus) — a legal earthquake, sudden change in judicial doctrine. Stellium in the 8th–9th houses unites with a bisextile figure: Neptune (Pisces) – Pluto (Capricorn) – Venus (Gemini). This harmonious triangle gave the possibility for the old (Pluto) and the fluid (Neptune) to enter into resonance with values (Venus) through the legal field (Rahu‑Uranus on the MC). Tense aspects Mars square Pluto (5.5°) and Mars sextile Saturn (2.5°) — action meets resistance and simultaneously receives structural support. Saturn on the Descendant — like a steel bar: the Supreme Court decision (partnership) became an obligation that cannot be ignored. Rahu‑Uranus on the MC — a lightning strike that shattered a 50‑year precedent. All this came together at the moment when Pluto in the 6th house (house of courts, law enforcers) is retrograde — a revision of a past decision. Astrologically, the event was not just probable — it was predetermined: Uranus‑Rahu‑MC gives a “system hack” with karmic resonance.
🌊 Consequences — Planetary Waves
After June 24, 2022, the slow planets continued to weave the fabric of consequences. Pluto in Capricorn in the 6th house in 2023–2024 moved into Aquarius, touching the 7th house (partnerships, contracts) — this triggered a wave of laws banning and protecting abortion in various states, a struggle between the federal center and the states. Uranus in Taurus remained in the 9th house until 2025/26, intensifying judicial revolutions (e.g., abortion cases in Iowa, Florida, Arizona in 2023–2024). Saturn in Pisces (2023–2025) formed a square to Uranus in Taurus — this produced a protracted conflict between old norms (Saturn) and sudden upheavals (Uranus). In 2024, when Pluto entered Aquarius, it activated the MC/IC axis, striking at institutions built during the Pluto‑in‑Libra era (1970s). Pluto’s transit through the 7th house (from 2024 into the 2030s) will rewrite laws on partnership, family, and reproduction. Neptune in Pisces until 2025–2026 continued dissolving boundaries between morality and law, creating fertile ground for new ideological wars. Retrograde Saturn in Pisces in 2023–2024 caused judicial pauses and appeals. The wave of 2022 did not subside — it only gained strength thanks to the Uranus‑Saturn opposition (2021–2022) and moved into a new phase.
🌍 Symbolism for Humanity
Archetypally, this event is an anthropological fault line. Uranus on the MC in Taurus symbolizes the destruction of fundamental rights (“life, liberty, property”) that seemed unshakeable. Rahu (North Node) on the MC — a karmic node forcing humanity to make a choice: return to old hierarchies (Pluto in Capricorn) or step into a new order (Uranus‑Aquarius). Saturn on the Descendant — a return to the “Founding Fathers,” to the letter of the 18th‑century law that clashed with living reality. Neptune‑Pluto sextile — dissolution of boundaries between state and individual, between moral dogmas and reality — hence the global resonance (protests not only in the USA but also in Poland, Latin America). Jupiter in the 8th house in Aries — expansion through crisis: reproductive rights became a battlefield over who controls life and death. For humanity, this is a stage where the individual (Uranus) enters into conflict with the collective (Saturn), and Pluto grinds down old institutions. This event is not about abortion, but about whether a person has the right to their own body when the state says “no.”
📜 Astrological Lessons and Patterns
Recurring themes: this chart belongs to the waxing phase of the 127‑year Uranus–Pluto cycle (conjunction in 1966). In this phase (1966–2023) revolutions and sexual freedoms were born, but toward the end of the phase — a backlash and revision. The overturning of Roe v Wade is a characteristic pattern: in 1973, when Pluto was in Libra and Uranus in Scorpio, rights were granted, and in 2022, with Pluto in Capricorn (hierarchy) and Uranus in Taurus (property), they were withdrawn. Lesson: every Supreme Court decision is a reflection of the cycle phase. Another pattern — Saturn on an angular axis (DC): when Saturn stands on the Descendant, it imposes restrictions on partnerships (in a broad sense — on the social contract). Stellium in the 8th house teaches: a crisis of resources (medicine, finances) becomes a trigger for fundamental changes. Bisextile Neptune–Pluto–Venus — harmony between destruction and illusion is possible only through values (Venus) that need to be reconsidered. When reading the future sky, always look at Uranus and Rahu: if they touch the MC/IC axis, expect a legal‑system revolution.
📚 Historical Parallels and Cycle Repetition
The Uranus–Pluto epoch (conjunction of 1966) spans the 1960s–2060s. 1960s–1970s (Pluto in Virgo–Libra, Uranus in Virgo–Libra–Scorpio) — sexual revolution, legalization of abortion (Roe v Wade, 1973). Uranus–Pluto square in 2012–2015 (Uranus in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn) — boom of social movements, toppling of dictatorships, crisis of institutions. The overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022 — the final chord of the waxing phase before the Uranus–Pluto opposition (2023–2025). Historical parallel: 1789 (French Revolution) — were Uranus and Pluto then in Taurus and Aquarius? No, Uranus was in Cancer, Pluto in Capricorn. But a closer parallel exists: 1936–1937 (Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Cancer) — constitutional crisis in the USA (Roosevelt’s attempt to “pack” the Supreme Court). Then the court rejected many New Deal laws, and later turned toward expanding rights. In 2022 — the reverse process: contraction of rights. 1989 (fall of the Berlin Wall) — Uranus in Capricorn, Pluto in Scorpio — revolutions overthrew old regimes. 2022 — “revolution from above”: the court overturns its own decision.
The next phase, when Uranus returns to Taurus (2106–2112), may again raise the question of fundamental rights. Pluto returns to Capricorn in 2267–2271 — another cycle of institutional revision. But in the near future (2023–2025) the Uranus–Pluto opposition (Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Aquarius) will trigger conflict between individual freedom and collective control — exactly what the overturning of Roe reflected. In 2035–2040 (when Uranus is in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius–Pisces) — a new wave of decisions on reproductive rights, possibly at the international level.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why was June 24, 2022 chosen for the overturning of Roe v Wade?
On that day Uranus in Taurus conjoined Rahu and the MC, creating a sudden breakthrough in the judicial system. Saturn in Aquarius stood on the Descendant, intensifying legal pressure. It was the moment when Pluto in Capricorn was completing its transit through the sign of hierarchies — the perfect time for a “revision” of an old precedent (Pluto retrograde). If the decision had come out a month earlier or later, the aspects would have been less exact.
How to explain astrologically that a conservative court overturned a liberal decision?
The conservative majority carried the archetype of Saturn (tradition, law) and Pluto in Capricorn (power, control). Saturn on the DC — a return to the “letter of the law,” while Uranus‑Rahu on the MC is not necessarily liberal: Uranus — suddenness, breaking the pattern, but it can work as “repeal” as well as “establish.” The liberal decision of 1973 was under Uranus in Scorpio (individual right), the conservative one of 2022 under Uranus in Taurus (property and life).
What are the consequences of this event in the next 10 years?
The transit of Pluto through Aquarius (2024–2044) will affect the 7th house (partnerships and contracts) — this will trigger a wave of lawsuits concerning abortion rights, starting around 2026. Uranus in Gemini (2025–2032) will be in the 10th house — new technological solutions (telemedicine, pills) and legal battles. Saturn in Aries (2025–2028) — restrictions and structures in the 8th house (medicine, crisis). Federal codification of rights is possible (if Pluto in Aquarius rewrites the 7th house).
Is this event connected with other political turns of 2022 (war in Ukraine, crises)?
Yes, Neptune in Pisces (planet of illusions and boundaries) in sextile with Pluto creates a general background: erasure of old borders and foundations. Saturn in Aquarius (on the DC) — breakdown of international agreements. Mars‑Saturn sextile — military actions and judicial decisions run in parallel. All are manifestations of the same Uranus–Pluto cycle: a revision of the rules of the game at every level.
Can this chart be considered “fatal” for the USA?
The chart is not “fatal,” but karmic. Rahu on the MC — a point of collective destiny for the nation. The Supreme Court decision activated long‑standing contradictions embedded in the Declaration of Independence (Saturn in Aquarius — “all men are created equal”). Pluto in the 6th house — reform of the judicial system that will continue. In 2022, the USA began a new turn: from a republic to a “tribal” federation. This is not death, but transformation.
