The Enlightenment's Peak — Reason Becomes Religion
The Enlightenment reached its zenith: Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot's Encyclopédie, Hume's empiricism, and Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations.' The idea that human reason could replace divine authority as the basis for society was revolutionary. These ideas directly fuelled the American and French Revolutions that followed. The Enlightenment was the intellectual ammunition for the political explosions to come.
The Sky: Pluto in Sagittarius
Pluto in Sagittarius transforms belief systems, educational institutions, and philosophical frameworks. The same transit in 1995–2008 produced the internet revolution (global knowledge expansion), the New Atheism movement, and the radicalisation of international ideologies. Sagittarius rules higher truth — and Pluto demands that truth be confronted at the deepest level.
