Threat, compulsion, humiliation, survival, necessity, and loss…..

When Pluto comes calling, everything past its ‘sell by date’ is swept away …. and if we fail to let go gracefully, we’re in for one hell of a nasty ride.

With Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2024), we’re forced to shed outdated ‘structures’ and replace them with something sustainable and new.

While at the collective level we may see nation-states, economic systems, and multinational corporations (perhaps capitalism itself) collapse under their own weight, to see what will go on at the personal level, we look at Saturn in our charts.

My natal Saturn is in Libra conjunct with Neptune and Mercury in my 4th house.  Shortly, Pluto will square my natal sun while Saturn conjuncts it.

As the result, I expect pressure to take a more serious look at my role in my partnerships.  Libra does have a tendency to blame ‘the other’ when things go wrong.   Libra also likes ‘peace at all costs’ and such compliancy invites others to become overly aggressive to compensate.   Yikes!

This current onslaught also marks the final throes of a Saturn/Pluto cycle that commenced with a Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Libra in 1982 (when I started law school).  That cycle, which ends in 2017, is a lesson about ideals, justice, and fairness.  It may put a rather abrupt end to my naive ideals that men act rationally and with honor.

One only has to do is to look at the news….

Capricorn is about morals and morals are about how we deal with each other.  So with Pluto in Capricorn….how long can the inconsiderate, antisocial, and overly selfish behavior we experience from others every day continue?

Enter Uranus in Aries at the end of May 2010 (YIKES – it’s HERE now)!  Now the proverbial ‘shit’ really will hit the fan – Stay tuned as the face of power as you’ve known it changes big time.  The last time time Pluto was in Capricorn was between 1760-1776 and the last time Pluto was in square with Uranus (as it is right now), Adolf Hitler came to power.  And don’t forget that before that, Karl Marx was born with a Pluto/Uranus square.
