It just so happens that 2024 coincides with the 248 year orbital period of the ‘planet’ Pluto. If 1776 (Declaration of Independence) is taken as the birth chart of the United States of America, then Pluto is about to return, with a vengeance. 

1776+248=2024. 

Astrology is not my specialty as I tend to focus more on astronomy, nonetheless, it is impossible to ignore the synchronicity reflected on earth as it is in heaven. As above so below. A 30 year Saturn Return is generally perceived as a time of great upheaval and change. Now imagine what a 248 year return of Pluto, the god of the Underworld must be like. 

Although the planet was only discovered in 1930, astrologers have integrated Pluto into the Zodiac and given it certain qualities. Pluto is intense and foreboding, described as packing a punch, and forcing us to deal with the hidden aspects of our individual and collective shadow whether we want to or not. 
Pluto oversees the transformation of the soul as we enter the Dark Night to face our fears and insecurities.

Wikipedia has the following to say:

-In astrology, Pluto is called “the great renewer” and is considered to represent the part of a person that destroys in order to renew by bringing up buried intense needs and drives to the surface, and expressing them, even at the expense of the existing order. It is associated with absolutes, power, extremities, transformations, incredible feats, mass movements, and the need to cooperate or share with another if each is not to be destroyed.-

This last sentence caught my attention. 

THE NEED TO COOPERATE OR SHARE WITH ANOTHER IF EACH IS NOT TO BE DESTROYED.
