The Sun, Pluto, and the Role of Elon Musk
Now, here’s the thing that’s really interesting. If the Sun represents the president—right?—the Sun archetypally represents the president. Well, he’s an Aquarius. Who’s Pluto in Aquarius? Who is the protagonist Pluto in Aquarius? Who’s sitting next to the president all the time, whispering in his ear?
You all know who he is. If you see Trump, you see him. He’s the Pluto in Aquarius. Elon Musk—Trump’s right-hand man.
Now, what’s interesting is, look at that Aquarius. He has his North Node in Aquarius, Mars in Aquarius, and he has his Vertex in Aquarius. So he has three significant points. And we know Pluto is going to be crossing those points over the next several years. It’s very important to keep that in mind. He’s going to embody more of the Pluto in Aquarius character.
By the way, I went to ChatGPT, and I said, “Generate an image of Elon Musk,” and this is what it generated. That’s pretty good, folks. How much longer does Hollywood have at this point?
The 2025 Solar Eclipse and Its Impact on Elon Musk
All right, so we have a partial solar eclipse hitting Elon’s natal Uranus. On March 29, 2025, there’s going to be an eclipse in Aries at eight degrees, and it’s going to be exactly opposing Elon’s Uranus.
Now, remember—anytime an eclipse hits Uranus or Pluto, it is considered watershed. So looking at it from his standpoint, this could mean major advances or disruptive launches related to Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, or other ventures. It could bring sudden controversial actions or announcements, bold moves in AI, renewable energy, Mars colonization plans—whatever it is, it’ll be big.
It could also amplify his role as a cultural and technological icon. I mean, we already see that now, but he’ll now be part of the Trump White House. He’ll be in the White House. He’ll have access to all the classified documents.
I don’t see any reason why Trump wouldn’t give him access if it could help him make better-informed decisions. Elon has insights no one else in the administration would have. He’d be leading a project—like the Manhattan Project.
The AGI Manhattan Project and U.S. National Security
For those who don’t know, the Manhattan Project was a secret initiative assigned by FDR to create an atomic weapon. So now imagine placing Musk at the helm of something history-altering, where the project could redefine global AI leadership and challenge dominators like China in the AI race.
Now, just the other day, news broke about a secret government AGI initiative—basically, a secretive project to develop artificial general intelligence. This project has been compared to the Manhattan Project because of its potential to change the course of history.
Proposals in this document emphasize the need for defense prioritization and robust security measures to protect AGI-related projects from espionage—especially from rival nations like China. There’s actually a saying: America innovates, China imitates, and the UK regulates. Meaning, the UK regulates everything to the point where no one can make money, and the economy stalls.
So, we have a government-backed secret AGI project and a shift in the global balance of power. Sun-Pluto in Aquarius would indicate that the president and his administration are going to be dealing with something that threatens to shift the global balance of power.
The Global AI Arms Race: U.S. vs. China
Historically, countries that are first to exploit rapid technological change often cause massive geopolitical shifts. First-mover advantage is critical here, and China is racing towards AGI. We have to take them seriously.
One of the biggest issues in the United States is energy infrastructure—it’s a huge bottleneck for training large AI models. China doesn’t have that problem. They have the infrastructure in place. Meanwhile, in the U.S., we’re arguing with each other, and Europe doesn’t even have the power capability.
For us, it would take much longer and be way more expensive to build the infrastructure needed to train these larger AI models—the ones that will eventually lead to artificial general intelligence or even superintelligence.
So we’re going to have to build out our energy infrastructure at the same time as we develop AGI. And that’s why this is going to cost something like 100 trillion dollars. And we have to spend this fast—because China is hell-bent on winning. And this is a suicide race.
The Risks of AGI and the Consequences of Losing the Race
The AGI race is a suicide race. The proposed AGI Manhattan Project, and the fundamental misunderstanding that underpins it, represent an insidious and growing threat to U.S. national security.
Any system that surpasses human-level general cognition and problem-solving will, by definition, surpass humans in AI research and development. That means it will improve itself at a terrifying rate. The world’s top AI experts agree—we have no choice but to move forward, regardless of the risks.
There’s no time to solve the problem. In a competitive race, there is no opportunity to address the unsolved technical problems of AI control and AI alignment. Every incentive will be to cede decisions and power to the AI itself.
And the inevitable result? An intelligence far beyond our own that is not only inherently uncontrollable but could also end up in charge of the very systems that keep the U.S. secure and prosperous.
As AI Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton said last month: “Once artificial intelligence gets smarter than we are, they will take control.” Now, I don’t personally agree with that, but this is what’s at stake. This is all perfectly articulating the Sun-Pluto complex.
The U.S. Pluto Return and the 2025 Presidential Inauguration
Remember, the U.S. is going through its Pluto return in the sign of Aquarius. And guess when that happens? At the exact same time as the 47th president is inaugurated—January 20, 2025. So you see how this all connects?
The race for AGI—the U.S. and China entrenched in an unending technological rivalry—AI is at the forefront of national security. And that is going to be a huge issue next year.
Once Trump takes control, and Elon Musk gets access to national security, defense, and intelligence, it’s going to be, “Here’s what China has. Here’s what’s going on. Lay it all on the table.” We have to win this race. And we have to find a way to make sure we don’t become extinct. Or, at the very least, pets to the AI system we’re building.
The Five Levels of AGI: Where We Are and Where We’re Headed
Now, remember—there are five levels of AGI. We’ve already reached the first level—chatbots.
We’ve seen ChatGPT beat doctors at diagnosing illnesses. A study in The New York Times showed that when doctors and ChatGPT were given the same medical case reports, the chatbot scored a 90 percent accuracy rate, while doctors scored 76 percent. Doctors refused to accept that the AI could be more accurate than them—even when it was. So we’re already there.
The second level? Reasoners. That just came out a few months ago—AI with high-level problem-solving skills.
Next, in January 2025, we get Agents. These AI systems will act independently based on human instruction. Everyone will have an Agent—it’ll handle emails, phone calls, create PowerPoint presentations in your own voice. You could be at the gym, watching Netflix, and people won’t even know the difference. That’s coming next year.
Then we get Innovators—AI that will invent new ideas and contribute to human knowledge. That’s likely late 2025 or early 2026.
And finally—Organizations, AI capable of running an entire corporation. Imagine a billion-dollar company with only three human employees—the rest, all AI. And that’s coming within months.
