Article on 2/22/22 for the Colorado Springs Gazette feat. Katie Sloan:

https://gazette.com/life/february-palindrome-date---mystical-portal-or-doomsday-jennifer-mulson/article_a785c914-850e-11ec-b867-bff8fea02aa7.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share

Pluto Return Facts

• The U.S. is in the middle of an approximately 3.5 year period of its Pluto Return.
• The Pluto Return is defined as when Pluto returns to the position it was at the “birth”.
• We are using the 7/4/1776 date and the Sibly Chart to define that return
• Pluto takes approximately 248 years to go around the Sun
• The Pluto Return lasts a little over three years (depending upon the orb you use)
• Exact dates are almost meaningless in such a lengthy transit. They simply mark the peaks in an ongoing wave of energy.

Here are the dates that it has been in range using a 2.5 degree orb: 

-in range during month of April 2020 where it stations Rx at 24 deg. 59 min

-In range 1/27/21 - 8/8/21

-In range 12/2/21 - 3/27/23 (all of 2022)

-In range 6/7/23 - 1/23/24

-In range 8/28/24 - 11/23/24

Jupiter Facts:

• Jupiter takes 12 years to go around the zodiac. 
• We have a “Jupiter Return” transit approximately every 12 years.
• Jupiter spends about 1 year total in a sign, but it will go retrograde and direct (forward and backward) so may exit one sign to re-enter the previous sign.
• Jupiter transits can last just a couple of months or about 9 months.
• Jupiter has dual rulership of Pisces and Sagittarius and co-rules Pisces with Neptune.
• Currently Jupiter is in Pisces. Dates: May 13, 2021-July 28, 2021; Dec 29, 2021-May 10, 2022,  Oct 28-Dec 20, 2022. 
• Jupiter enters Aries intermittently in 2022 then continues in 2023. Dates: May 10 - Oct 28, 2022, then Dec 20, 2022 - May 16, 2023
• Jupiter and Neptune are conjunct this year on April 12 at 24 deg. Pisces. This will be in influence mid March - mid May, and is significant as the co-rulers of Pisces are at home in Pisces, magnifying the themes of this sign.

Here are some facts about Pluto square:

-It’s the first of the midlife transits

-It lasts about three years (as do all Pluto transits)

-Pluto’s orbit is elliptical. It slows and quickens in its movement through the zodiac. So the age that it happens from generation to generation can vary slightly. It happens in mid-late thirties.

-Currently those born in 1981-83 are going through it (natal Pluto in Libra)
