We all are aware that we have an astrological birth chart for each of us that is determined by the date, time, and place of our birth. Countries also have astrological birth charts and astrology as well. The United States has a birth or natal astrology chart which is significant for the country’s future.
Countries have birth charts just like people do. Astrologers who study world events often look at the natal charts of countries and their leaders to determine future events. A country’s natal chart or birth chart is produced by the date, time, and location of when it was founded and established.
The birth date for the United States natal chart is July 4, 1776, at 5:10 PM, in Philadelphia, PA. This represents the birth of the Declaration of Independence, which are the principles that our country was founded on. This is supported by certain historical documents and has proven to line up very accurately with past events.

United States Birth Chart First-Ever Pluto Return
After many years of research, Astrologers believe that the Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius chart on July 4th, 1776, describes the traits that the United States embodies very accurately. Such as the country’s optimism, expansion, and values for freedom and independence.
There is no greater symbolism of a cosmic rebirth than the enigmatic Pluto, the power-hungry dwarf planet that symbolizes transformation and renewal, destruction and rebirth. According to the alignment of planets and stars, the United States is finally getting a cosmic and spiritual makeover with its first-ever Pluto Return that began on February 22, 2022.
Astrologically, Pluto’s return is when the planet returns to the same position in a birth chart, where it was when the country was founded. This happens approximately every 246 to 248 years. This means this is the first Pluto return in the United States since the country was founded in 1776.

How Long Is the US Pluto’s Return
Because Pluto returns to its natal placement generally every 248 years, it will not stay there for very long. Thus, the US Pluto Return transit is approximately two years from February 22, 2022, to November 19, 2024. This time span will represent a major death and rebirth for America.
Pluto entered the sign of Aquarius for the first time on March 23, 2023, and then retrogrades back into the sign of Capricorn two times before entering Aquarius completely on November 19, 2024. After it finally enters Aquarius, Pluto remains in this sign for about 20 years before moving to the sign of Pisces in 2043-2044.
Pluto is the ruler of death and rebirth, symbolizing the end of the old and the beginning of a new karmic cycle. It also rules things like power struggles, which will show the source of your personal power and your personal sovereignty. For a county this will play out as governmental control or the power of the people to control. This planet is the portal through which your spiritual and shadow energy is transformed and released into the outer world.
Pluto is moving out of the sign of Capricorn and into the sign of Aquarius, which is of major importance. The sign of Capricorn is top-down government, where only the few at the top rule the many at the bottom. However, in the sign of Aquarius, the many will collectively work together and govern in fairness and equality. This is humanity’s collective future trajectory in Aquarian energy.

The Accuracy of The US Chart on 9/11
The reason why this US birth chart is widely used by astrologers is because many past events over the years have really pinpointed its accuracy. For example, in the event of 9/11, at that time Pluto was transiting at 12 degrees of Sagittarius, right on this most important point of the US identity. This is the most important point in anybody’s birth chart, this point signifies the identity of a person, therefore, for the country this point signifies the identity of that country.
Pluto has to do with trauma, survival issues, destruction, and death. Whereas Sagittarius has to do with travel, and most people travel by plane. Therefore, Pluto’s transcend was exactly 12 degrees on that ascendant, while Saturn was opposing it at 14 degrees of Gemini. The symbol for Saturn is similar to a building, and Gemini represents the twins.
You cannot get more literal than that. It was a Pluto-Saturn opposition, a hard aspect between Pluto and Saturn. Astrological squares are hard aspects that conjunct oppositions which tend to bring about hard times and more control, more rules, and more regulations. As we all experienced after 9/11, it brought about permanent changes for air travel.

Pluto Returns Are About the Ends of Empires
Dana DeFranco, astrologer and co-host of the Allegedly Astrology podcast, states “Pluto returns are about the ends of empires, the changing of the guards, and the transfer of power.” She continues by saying, “America has Pluto in Capricorn in the second house of money, property, security, and values. Capricorn is the sign of infrastructure, hard work, and earning your keep. These concepts relate to traditional American values and the American dream.”
The US Pluto Return will affect the country’s 2nd house of economy, finances, debt, taxes, and default. As well as the country’s fundamental and ethical values. The country was founded on the principles of the US Constitution. Will those fundamental values and rights still remain the same? The US Pluto Return will not only affect the US; however, it will also affect the rest of the world.
The astrological birth chart of the US is from the history of how it was founded. The colonists wanted to break away from British taxation because they felt they had no representation in the government. It was a combination of oppressive taxes and controlling government that they felt they had no say and no representation. That is how the Declaration of Independence and the United States was born.
The founding fathers made statements of freedom and equality and wrote the Declaration of Independence at that time. I believe all of those major themes are very interesting as a back drop to the current US Pluto Return and Pluto’s symbolism.

Powerful Time of Death and Rebirth Transformation
This is an incredibly powerful time of the death of the old systems and the rebirth of the new. Because that is what the symbolism of Pluto is all about. Pluto is moving out of the sign of Capricorn, which is about exposing, revealing, and excavating any corruption that exists from the top-down governmental structures. The sign of Capricorn is very connected to big business, banking, finance, and big government.
This Pluto Return, which started on February 22, 2022, will be running all through the rest of this year and next year to November 2024. The other thing to mention is that we are going into Eclipse season. We are already in the energy of that, there are going to be two eclipses this coming month of October.
We are already well into this entire process of the US Pluto Natal Return, and it will be exactly to the degree the second week of October 2023. This is the last time it will be at this place for 246 to 248 years, so this is a big deal astrologically. You can see a video that astrologer Pam Gregory recorded about this 2 years ago.

US Politics the Entire Political System
This has to do with US politics and the entire political system. We all can see how clearly corrupt the entire government is, and it does not matter what party, it is all corrupt to its core. There is no fixing this corrupt system. There is no doubt that the US is going through a massive time of transformation right now.
Think of the metaphorical archetype of Pluto; it is like a tree that dies in the forest. The tree crashes to the ground and then begins to rot away down into the soil. Which then creates new fertile soil for new life to grow. A complete death and rebirth transformation. That is the process of Pluto! There is no doubt with all the turbulence that is happening now in the US, that America is being reborn, and this will continue all through next year.
America is being reborn and will stand strong on the fundamental principles that the country was founded on, the Constitution. There are major changes going to take place in the US, quite dramatically. Huge volatility possibly first happening in the US and then ripples to the rest of the world.
US Debt 33 Trillion Dollars
As for the US economy, the national debt level for the country has never been higher at 33 trillion dollars. Which is just beyond comprehensible, and Pluto is the planet of debt and default. As well as being in the 2nd house of deficit and the country’s economy. The other important aspect of the 2nd house is the country’s values of freedom and liberty as originally envisioned by the founding fathers.
Because of the founding principles the US was built on, that is why the rest of the world is looking towards America to uphold those principles for the rest of the world. That is why what happens in America will inevitably ripple across the entire globe. The two huge themes here are the destruction of the old and the rebirth of the new, as well as personal sovereignty over governmental enslavement.
