The generally accepted birthday of the United States is July 4, 1776, at the signing of the Declaration of Independence. At that time, Pluto was in the sign of Capricorn at 27°33'. From that date forward, it took Pluto 246 years to travel through all the signs of the zodiac and return to this same position of 27°33' Capricorn. Now Pluto’s revolution around the zodiac completes a cycle for the United States’ soul trajectory. This cycle is also known as a Pluto return.
