Ophi, one half of The AstroTwins, got to delve into this topic on a recent episode of The Lavendaire Lifestyle podcast with host Aileen Xu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New Abnormal means nothing\u2019s been the same since the new decade began\u2014and it probably won\u2019t ever be again. In <a href=\"https:\/\/galaxy.astrostyle.com\/product\/astrotwins-2022-horoscope\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The AstroTwins&#8217; 2022 Horoscope book<\/a>, it&#8217;s explained that we\u2019ll start getting used to this \u201cnew abnormal. &#8220;As old systems break down, space for new ones emerge.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in the context of this theme that Aileen framed her conversation with Ophi for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavendaire.com\/category\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Lavendaire podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The macro trends happening in the world right now are reflected in astrology,&#8221; Aileen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History is a great indicator of what may be coming up and the opportunity to do things differently, Ophi says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Astrology is the study of the cycles of history and time. It&#8217;s not just a tool for predicting the future but also making sense of the past and the present.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An end to a &#8220;big&#8221; Pluto cycle in 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2022 is an interesting time because we are at the end of a big <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/astrology-planets-pluto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pluto<\/a> cycle in Capricorn. It will next be in Aquarius from 2024 to 2044; the last time it was there was the late 1700s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When I look at astrological trends I like to look back to what happened and how is it similar to how it&#8217;s happening now,&#8221; Ophi tells Aileen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pluto stays in a sign for 12-20 years. People born during that phase, their generation is shaped by their Pluto sign. It takes more than 200 years for Pluto to cycle through all 12 zodiac signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So a person will never have a Pluto return, but a county can, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/united-states-pluto-return\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the U.S. which is now experiencing its Pluto return <\/a>after 248 years. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn, the county was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Pluto return can teach us in The New Abnormal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When (a return) happens, it&#8217;s like an activation,&#8221; Ophi says. &#8220;&#8216;I&#8217;m back!&#8217; It&#8217;s time for the next round of lessons or experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pluto is the planet of destruction and rebirth, transformation. The planet represents power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s subject to interpretation what this means for the U.S., Ophi explains. The return represents an end, a completion, but what will it mean? It will be the rebirth of something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We may be in a period of time of war for awhile. The pandemic taught us valuable lessons like pivoting or working together with people or adapt our lifestyles.&#8221; (Ophi later in the podcast explores the definition of &#8220;war.&#8221;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The willingness to sustain ourselves will usher us into The New Abnormal probably more comfortably than if we hadn&#8217;t otherwise learned lessons from the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have to accept that we&#8217;re going through this,&#8221; Aileen says. &#8220;The world is changing and what you can do is focus on what you can control. The big things are way out of our control we&#8217;re just living in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"2022 Astrology Predictions: The New Abnormal w\/ AstroTwin Ophi Edut\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LYtWedkJnMg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other topics covered in The New Abnormal conversation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ophi says, &#8220;There are some years where things are &#8216;it&#8217;s time to go and make and build.&#8217; Some are: &#8216;I don&#8217;t know what normal is.&#8217; The old normal is done. The new normal is still forming.
