Pluto in
Capricorn November 26, 2008 to March 23,
2023
Updated June 13, 2008;
In 2008, Jupiter moves into Capricorn in January and continues
to be in Capricorn until in retrograde motion it returns to
Sagittarius. Pluto will reach 1° 09' and then turns
retrograde on April 2, 2008 to head back into Sagittarius for a
final uncovering of important power issues beginning on June 13,
2008. Pluto continues to be retrograde until September 8, 2008,
when Pluto turns direct at 28° 29' Sagittarius, to make
a b-line toward Capricorn and actually enters Capricorn on November
26, 2008 where it will stay until 2023.
Pluto transitions back into Sagittarius from June 13th through
November 26th, 2008 to resolve issues that have been created while
Pluto has been in Sagittarius since 1995. We will see many issues
and situations brought back around during these short five months
that will bring resolution to so many issues. The situations that
have seemed dire and difficult will have many pieces of information
bubble up to the surface that hold the key to these resolutions.
During the Mercury retrograde in Gemini (opposite sign of
Sagittarius) begins the information bubbling up to the surface.
Many previously hidden aspects will begin to be seen.
Pluto rules power and mis-use of power. Pluto is also the
energy, the motives, the integrity of the purpose of using Pluto's
power. Pluto is also the issues of the motives that are hidden
within the person wielding power. Words can easily be used as a
front, but it is Pluto's energy and motives that point to the real
purpose, the real goals for utilizing energy. These deep motives,
even if they are unseen, will at certain times explode similar to
the volcanic explosion that reveals the elements deep within.
Pluto often brings us situations that contain issues of power,
in which we fear power greater than ourselves and thus we have to
rise to the occasion to make the inner power greater than the outer
powers. An example of this is the fear of outer authority and we
must respond to situations in which outer authority comes into our
life and our inner confidence or inner strength has to be stronger
than the outer situations. This response to situations becomes the
trial by fire methods in which Pluto works.
This outer authority, outer power can be a positive source of
competition or a person in a position of power who is misusing
their position to wield their power in inappropriate ways to cause
harm to others. The purpose for this outer power and the motives
for this outer power becomes the Pluto issue. The motives, ethics,
integrity and values that come with the use or mis-use of power are
hidden from view, however they are known by the person and
ultimately become visible as the intention is continued over time,
setting a precedence that speaks of it's own accord.
Our response to power greater than ourselves, whether real or
perceived, becomes our intention as well. We can respond to
situations with equal harmful ways or choose to grow inner
qualities and outer expressions greater than those expressed by
those in power positions. An athlete can respond to the marathon of
hills by bringing more strength and more endurance to meet the
challenges, or veer from the race with intention to not continue or
to cheat in some way or another. Similarly a person in positions of
power can wield this power to fulfil responsibilities in the
highest order, or become mesmerized by their own self-proclaimed
position and take aim at others they feel jealous or hateful
toward, and skew the game board of life to their own advantage.
Pluto has been in Sagittarius since November 1995. Sagittarius
represents honesty, integrity, philosophy, beliefs, religion,
higher education, teaching and knowledge, laws both inner and
outer, goals, plans and aspirations. Thus the issues that we had
been dealing with since 1995 have entailed the religious power or
mis-use of religious beliefs of the fanatic Islamics, Christians,
Catholics, Hindus and others that have met with real or perceived
power by fueling their own hatred, jealousies with a response of
greater power that is harmful to others. The wars in which we have
today, as Pluto is in the last several degrees of Sagittarius
represent the problematic issues of Sagittarius in which the use
and mis-use of power is taking precedence over our headlines.
In our own lives, we experience the issues of Pluto in
Sagittarius by way of using our own honesty, integrity, philosophy,
beliefs as a response to the different powers in our life. The
issues we meet with are not as important as what our response to
these power issues. With an inundation of powers used against us
for no reason or as an unfairness that has come into our life, we
can be assured that this is the hill that we have to climb to
become stronger and more powerful than the outer elements. Each
person has had their own custom made issues since Pluto came into
Sagittarius, November 1995, and now that it is on it's last few
degrees, these issues must somehow come to a resolution.
Our response to these custom-made Pluto in Sagittarius events
shows our honesty, integrity, philosophy, beliefs and intentions.
There are responses to situations that cover the spectrum.
Important is the individuals that during this time have picked up
positions of power and have wielded these positions against others
and have not build any inner qualities except to enlarge their
hate, anger and enjoyment of others pain and anguish. Whatever we
have created during this Pluto in Sagittarius will become the road
that we will find as Pluto moves into Capricorn January 25, 2008.
For many who have misused their power, their road will end, similar
to their inner plank that others were pushed off of in order to rid
their world of others they did not favor. For many who were at the
end of the callous and cruel swords of power who have fought
valiantly against such mis-use of power by growing inner qualities
greater than the fear of the sharp sword, the ground will swell
with heightening values to find a different advantage.
In 2008, Jupiter will be in Capricorn all year long. However,
Pluto will move into Capricorn on January 25, 2008. Pluto will
reach 1° 09' and then turns retrograde on April 2, 2008
to head back into Sagittarius for another uncovering of important
power issues on June 14, 2008. Again on September 8, 2008, Pluto
turns direct at 28° 29' Sagittarius to make a b-line
toward Capricorn and actually enters Capricorn on November 26, 2008
where it will stay until 2023.
Typically about two weeks before Pluto turns direct (September
8, 2008) a massive amount of scandals become visible as Pluto
begins to rumble and spew forth the hidden motives, ethics and
values used while Pluto has been in Sagittarius. This rumbling
starts as Pluto transitions from Sagittarius into Capricorn and
then the closer we get to September 8, 2008, this rumbling will
again begin. This time, because we are completing the last several
degrees of Sagittarius with endings and closures are required, the
rumbling will become strong and very powerful to begin the spewing
process to get everything out into the open. Several weeks before
September 8th, we will begin to recognize the magnitude of the
magma that will have reached it's capacity to remain hidden and
begin to bubble to the surface.
Once Pluto turns direct, September 8, 2008, we will watch many
events expose the hidden elements as they come to the surface of
the integrity, honesty, beliefs, intentions and the use or mis-use
of philosophy, religion and power. This showing of the deep ethics
will continue until November 26, 2008, when Pluto moves into
Capricorn and causes explosive transitions in outer situations,
which bring all hidden elements out into the open. This revealing
process creates huge issues of scandals, mis-use of power,
corruption of any Sagittarius dealings within industries, such as
churches or religious groups, higher education and colleges,
judicial courts and committees, laws and legal groups, and the
like. Once this explosion takes place the magma of ethics,
integrity, motives and intentions will come spewing out to create
our new pathway according to the qualities we have used within this
Pluto in Sagittarius time frame.
Jupiter turns retrograde in Capricorn on May 9, 2008, which
takes all the events that have occurred while Jupiter has been in
Capricorn (since December 17, 2007) and begins to resolve, heal and
fix the issues that have been expanding since that time. While
Jupiter has taken us into unfamiliar territory, we have had to
expand our concepts and discoveries of our new career and business
pathways. As Jupiter expands and takes us through this unfamiliar
territory, we will be glad to finally reach May 9, 2008 and the
expansion process has reached the end of this phase. From May 9,
2d008 through September 8, 2008, we can begin to fix and resolve
the many problems and issues that have been brought to the table to
complete. The months from May through September become very
important and will also contain the shift of Pluto back into
Sagittarius to assist the resolution process. This resolution
process is kicked off by Jupiter turning retrograde May 9th, but
also by Mercury retrograding back into the information-oriented
sign of Gemini, to uncover additional information needed in this
process. The SEVEN month of June (in numerology) contains most of
the Mercury retrograde and will also provide a great deal of
insight as SEVEN brings all that is hidden, to the surface. This
changes the complexion and the texture of the process of Pluto
moving through and completing the Sagittarius process. Many
situations will change and shift in June to prepare for the major
transitions coming in the remainder of the year.
Jupiter turns direct in Capricorn on the same day as Pluto turns
direct, September 8, 2008, and continues to pave the way by
expanding our magma of ethics and motive into our new path created
during 2008. Capricorn rules business, career, government and all
of the positions of power in the outside world. Those individuals
who have been in positions of power while Pluto has been in
Sagittarius will have the opportunity to move up in position,
however if the mis-use of power occurred, then the fall from power
will begin at this time. From the time that Jupiter turns direct in
Capricorn, September 8, 2008, to pave our new path with this ethics
magma and when Pluto turns direct (September 8, 2008) and finally
moves into Capricorn, November 26, 2008, we will see roads end
because of the lack of ethics, but we will also see huge scandals
occur as our motives and actions become the very road we are
standing on and thus the visibility of our response to situations
is seen.
This shifting process all during 2008 will cause a great deal of
chaos and crisis in the Sagittarius sectors of churches or
religious groups, higher education and colleges, judicial courts
and committees, laws and legal groups, and the like. The Capricorn
sector will also come under a great deal of scrutiny because of
Pluto's scandalous activities of mis-using power in the Capricorn
arenas of big business, government, government agencies,
international government, finances, global economy, international
business and government agencies. This exposure that begins in
December 2007 and continues all through 2008 will set the
precedence with the crisis that will ensue because of the mis-use
of power that will become prolific in it's exposure.
Jupiter will be in Capricorn all year long. However, Pluto will
shift and makes transitions back and forth, which begins as Pluto
moves into Caprricorn on January 25, 2008. Pluto will reach
1° 09' and then turns retrograde on April 2, 2008 to
head back into Sagittarius for another uncovering of important
power issues on June 14, 2008. Again on September 8, 2008, Pluto
turns direct at 28° 29' Sagittarius to make a b-line
toward Capricorn and actually enters Capricorn on November 26, 2008
where it will stay until 2023.
This long, extended stay of Pluto in Capricorn (2008 - 2023)
will completely revise the power issues and issues of authority.
The last time Pluto was in Capricorn was from 1762 to 1779, which
included the founding of our country to gain the freedom against
the oppression from the King of England. Now our power issues will
once again reveal similar issues that were addressed with "taxation
without representation", the War of Regulation from 1764 to 1771
against corrupt colonial officials, The Stamp and Sugar Act which
tried violators in Admiralty court where the defendants were
considered guilty until they could prove their innocence. The
Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Articles of the
Constitution built from the Magma Carter written to set the
parameters and rules of freedom and independence. We will find
ourselves in the same boat of addressing the oppressive and corrupt
power issues that have been used against people and to
revolutionize the checks and balances required for the rightful use
of power.
The Capricorn States (when the specific State entered
into the U.S. Union) will become the focus and subject of the most
changes, transitions, potential scandals and ultimate revisions.
They are;
Iowa - December 28, 1846
Texas - December 29, 1845
Georgia - January 2, 1788
Alaska - January 3, 1959
Utah - January 4, 1896
New Mexico - January 6, 1912
Connecticut - January 9, 1788

| August Highights |
|
|
The month of August is universally a
NINE month (in numerology), emphasizing completions, conclusions
and resolutions. NINE lines up the issues that need to be
finalized and all loose ends tied up. Yet at the same time, the
powerful New Moon brings new beginnings during a month of closure.
This provides a glimpse into our new journey, yet we are still
bogged down with resolutions that need to be completed. We will
continue to get pulled into our new directions, which make us pack
up the past and push it all aside so we can move forward.
