If you have followed my blogs throughout the years, you have heard me talk about America’s rhythms. She has two of them. One is 50 years in length, the other is 80 years in length. This means that every 80 years and 50 years, you can expect major changes to the status quo in America. At this time, the two cycles are converging which gives even more energy to the changes. Big ones and smaller ones.
It has been almost 50 years since the last 50 year cycle began when Reagan was elected in 1980. It will finish up the end of the 20’s. As you know, during the last 10 years of a 50 year cycle, chaos and breakdowns are normal. The current leadership wants to hold on to its current positions (but can’t really operate effectively). We can name it the Biden/liberal effect but that won’t work. The current Trump effect of shock and awe is still using the same blueprint. It is using a more authoritarian method but that won’t work in this ending of the 50 year cycle. The changes will continue to create upheaval after he is out of office. It will begin to calm down after the next election.
On top of this chaos and breakdowns we have the big 248 year cycle of Pluto. For the first time since the birth of the United States, we are visiting the same issues we experienced during the years 1777 to 1798. It is shorthand for “power to the people”. We will be making all kinds of adjustments during the next 10 – 20 years. This is the time period when all those idealistic goals represented by the U S Constitution were created. Now they are being called into question. (It lasts 20 years to 2044.) For example the 1st amendment, the 14th amendment, the separation of church and school etc. We are looking at various issues of birthright citizenship, bodily autonomy, immigration, government control and on and on. Out of this 20 year period, will come a renewed form of democracy. As Pluto moves deeper into the 20 year transit of Aquarius, the people’s power will get stronger. Currently they voted in November to reform the government, focus on everyday items and immigration. The upheaval will continue and there will be pushback as the current government in power overreaches its authority. The people didn’t vote for retribution, vengeance, or grabbing up Greenland or the Panama Canal. They also don’t want to see deportation camps across their border or have their child’s best friend taken out of class and disappeared. Who will pick our vegetables and fruits? Who will take care of the elderly in the nursing homes? Who will work the meatpacking plants? Who will clean the office buildings?
We will be experiencing another concentration of focus when the giant transit of Neptune visits Aries. (Remember, we are controlled by the heavens not by blue or red states). During this transit beginning in May, 2025, we revisit the time period of the Civil War. The last time we visited this transit were the years 1861-1875, This transit will last until 2039 so hang on. Things are going to get really focused. The tension you see today between the two political parties is similar to this old period. We get to revisit it. Only this time, it isn’t slavery but immigration. It will be a time of fighting for ideals. Whether that takes the form of actual fighting, I don’t know. Do we give legal rights to immigrants? They aren’t slaves but they are definitely an underclass with substandard wages.
As we experience the major crises of an institutional breakdown, a social and cultural breakdown, each president thinks it can repair the damage done by a previous administration. Roosevelt was able to do it in 1932. Reagan in 1980 but not until 2028 or 2032 will be able to set us in a new direction. The current administration in 2025 is using the same playbook of the last 40-50 years. Distractions of Greenland, the Panama Canal, Gender definitions are just that distractions. Clearing out Gaza is not in the average American’s playbook. Grocery prices, healthcare, wages and bread and butter issues are in America’s playbook.
Remember, we are a nation formed out of people who had nothing in common. We came speaking different languages, different cultures and different values. We aren’t like other countries who share a common culture, language and values. Compare an Italian to a Chinese. A Swede to an Indian. America goes on and on with differences. We really can’t go home again. Where is home? We left it to make a better life and stayed through the generations. Since we can’t go home again, we are stuck with each other. To others it looks insane. America, however, invents itself through upheaval and near collapse only to rise again in a better profile. We do it every 50 years with larger transits every 80 years. We are literally closing the door on World War II aftermath. The period of experts and enormous rise in the world’s position as a superpower. Never bet against America. She continually looks like she is in decline and then-surprise-she has reinvented herself. Hang on America. The power is with you now. Get out there and make it known.
USA has natural 50 cycle along with its’ 5 life path.
Nicely said and lines up with some other predictive cycles as well. What is your 50year cycle based on?
Never bet against America.
I like that! I’ve lived here all my life, and it’s been a grand adventure so far. I intend to continue this way!
Thanks Gail!
