The Rednote Phenomenon & Pluto in Aquarius: We Can’t Unsee It

written 01/25/25

Pluto moved into Aquarius, and suddenly, the cracks in the system aren’t just visible—they’re gaping holes we can’t ignore. We knew things were bad, but now we feel it on a visceral level. Rent is astronomical, groceries cost more than our hourly wages, and most of us are one paycheck away from a financial freefall. Meanwhile, a viral shift in perspective—thanks to the Rednote phenomenon—has pulled the curtain back even further.

In China, homeownership isn’t just possible; it’s expected. No mortgages, no looming threat of foreclosure, no property taxes that make you feel like you’re just renting from the government. It’s yours. Food? Fresh, nutritious, cheap. Cars? Advanced, affordable, no annual registration fees. What we’re paying in rent could buy a home outright somewhere else. And now that we’ve seen it, we can’t unsee it.

This is Pluto in Aquarius in action—raw, undeniable awareness of the systems that shape our reality. Aquarius is the sign of humanity, equality, and revolution. Pluto? He doesn’t just expose the rot; he forces transformation. We weren’t supposed to realize that the struggle we’re living under is a design flaw, not an inevitability. But here we are.

And because Aquarius is also the ultimate rebel, when they told us TikTok was a threat, what did we do? We ran straight into the arms of a Chinese app on purpose. We saw the propaganda machine in motion and decided to troll our own government in real-time. That’s Aquarius energy at its finest—chaotic, defiant, and deeply aware.

This isn’t just a moment. It’s a shift. Pluto in Aquarius isn’t letting us go back to sleep, and honestly? Good. Because if the last few weeks have proven anything, it’s that we deserve better—and now we know it./
