What is Uranus square Pluto?
A square is a 90-degree aspect between two planets, and when this happens it creates conflict -- or as we like to call it, an opportunity for much-needed change. When revolutionary Uranus squares transformative Pluto in the zodiac signs of Aries and Capricorn, the primary effect is the sweeping out of old ways of thinking and doing things, which creates an environment of revolution -- and eventually a rebirth to a new way of life.

Has Uranus ever squared Pluto before?
Yes. The last series of squares between Uranus and Pluto took place between 1932 and 1934, during which time we saw the world face a great deal of transformative upheaval -- i.e. the Great Depression, the invention of the atomic bomb and the rise of Adolph Hitler.
In 1966 and 1967, Uranus and Pluto joined each other three times -- but those were conjunctions, not squares. Still, while joined in the '60s, Uranus and Pluto sparked cultural and social revolutions around the globe, adding passion and power to the liberation movements and the social shifts that followed.
What will happen when Uranus squares Pluto in 2012 - 2015?

We're already getting a taste of big changes to come: The housing, insurance and bank failures, the Occupy movement, the Tea Party, concern for the environment and overall economic uncertainty. These things signal the beginning of a shift toward a great awakening of consciousness. There will likely be much upheaval on the road to progress, but it will be for the ultimate good.
Some large institutions may fail, while other big corporate interests may consolidate and increase their power. We may witness political uprisings and social and religious revolutions.
