Pluto in Sagittarius (1995-2008) began to
undermine, reveal and transform many of the old beliefs and
philosophical agreements that have enslaved human
consciousness for a very long time. Pluto in Capricorn (2008
- 2023) will break down and transform the authorities and
institutions that have held a vested interest in controlling
humanity with those old paradigms. During the phase of Pluto in
Capricorn, a grand re-structuring and redistribution of wealth
and power on the planet is inevitable. From The Ultimate
Game of All by George Ward (The Pleiadian Times - Winter
Solstice Issue 2007)

"Pluto in Capricorn will demand that we, as a species, make a
commitment to building something that will endure." ~ Steven

PLUTO, CAPRICORN, AND THE CRUNCH
by Rev Pam Crane
Sunday, October 19, 2008
I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that Ingresses are major aspects to the Aries Point, arguably the most dramatic being outer-planetary squares from the Solstices. Accordingly, they impact on the entire human race and especially those bosom children of the Tropical zodiac, the citizens of the Western world.
The last time Pluto strode over a solstice point was in 1914, and the 1st World War, the Great War, the War to end all Wars, broke out. The King of Darkness was entering Cancer, since when any protective shell can be shelled and nowhere can be called a safe haven. Next he invaded Leo, making a fiery trine to the Spring Equinox; it was 1939 and the 2nd World War broke all the promises made at the end of the 1st, dramatically re-drawing the map of power.
Now on the cusp of Capricorn it is the turn of global business empires to be shocked to their socks, time for new rules to be written in all areas of competition, worldly aspiration and control.
Two weeks ago, Pluto, still finishing its business at the end of tropical Sag but heliocentrically well into the first degree of Capricorn, was rejoined around the Sun by Venus after an absence of eight months and all hell broke loose in the world money markets. Back in 2007, things seemed very different - Pluto, visiting and revisiting 28 Sagittarius and helped by Jupiter, utterly seduced the English through their sidereal Sun into thinking the property boom years would never end. So we were all behaving as if they wouldn't.
Property prices had been mushrooming since 2003/4 when Pluto hit on the UK’s sid. Sun at 18 Sagittarius: one house wasn't enough - we had to have two; one source of income wasn't enough - we all had to be property developers and buy to let. We had to have the perfectly finished designer home plus the luxury holiday pad, and we could do all this on dirt-cheap debt which banks and building societies were able to sell to each other and eventually bury somewhere overseas like the rest of the UK's rubbish. Many years ago I read a great story by Kurt Vonnegut where science had found a way to shovel all humanity's unwanted detritus through wormholes in space and leave our world lovely and clean; unfortunately while people were enjoying their hedonistic lives, hyperspace filled up and a disgusting torrent of filth burst back through a zillion gaps in reality to overwhelm the globe. We are getting our come-uppance, big time. It's our fault.
Each time Pluto enters a sign he creates upheaval in pretty well any area of life associated with that twelfth of the sky - often through the way he seems to empower a fresh section of the human population. Unfortunately the folk who are spiritually asleep - and there are many - fail to recognise that charge of power as a shot of divine energy to purify and transform their lives, and instead turn into swaggering narcissists who throw their weight around and spark off a whole new slew of cultural problems.
Pluto in Sagittarius enticed the whole developed world onto a quest for endless growth, wealth, mobility, knowledge and perfect bodies, and of course millions, manipulated shamelessly by rampant media, tumbled onto the bandwagon. We were all tested by the Tempter and found lamentably wanting. We were offered faith, but chose intolerance. Materially rich, we created poverty. The world was our oyster - we left it dying. In pursuit of fitness, we filled with vanity. Liberty became licentiousness, exams became quizzes, the law all letter and no spirit in a minefield of litigation and political correctness. A compensation culture where everyone knew their rights created the monster ‘Health and Safety’. The exhilarating, dangerous, Sagittarian adventure was to understand our place in the living universe, so of course we chose cheap flights, chatrooms, 'Big Brother,' and scoffed at God.
By the time he reached 29 Sag, Pluto had finished downloading WiFi, texting and YouTube to the UK sidereal Moon at Gemini 27 and was pointing squarely at England's tropical Moon in the end of Pisces, at long last provoking a country blighted by slobs and yobs to start cleaning up its act. The booze culture is still England's shame, but at last her streets are cleaner, her lungs healthier, and recycling bins busier. In the 1066 sidereal chart that undisciplined Moon was still in Pisces; so with the culminating Sun in sidereal Sag , the English nation has always been known for profligacy and adventure, high culture, great learning, immense greed, exhibitionism, bursts of surprising altruism, and a delight in comedy. If this country were a client we would be urging her to work hard now with Pluto's new Capricorn energy to capitalise on her strengths and drive out her demons.
The Moon’s Nodes as usual tell the story - the South in disorderly Pisces, the North in Virgo with Saturn; she needs to accept Saturn's demand for
a return to self-discipline, that a culture of growing selfishness and irresponsibility needs to be replaced by one of thrift and attentive service to the needs of ordinary people, particularly the old, the lonely, the sick and the deprived.
The hand-over of power is nearly complete: at 02h37 Ut on January 26th this year Pluto made his first brief but crucial entrance into the 10th sign, and on November 27th 2008 Pluto will finally exit Sagittarius at 01h03 UT to start its 16-year journey with us up Mt. Capricorn. I think it’s in the English Lake District that there is a little tour bus called The Mountain Goat ... this will be some tour! In London it is marked by the Saturn-Uranus opposition across the Asc/Desc, so expect the unexpected and a long-term reality-check.
When he gets to 5 Capricorn the IMF’s Sun will be in the firing line after all the alarming activity of the past two years (Venus, Ceres, S. Node... ) so it may be staring at emptied coffers by then, Heaven help us all, and going through ‘death and rebirth’!
Crunch time will be when Pluto hits the English/UK/EEC Sun in 2012/13, also impacting Australia (which, like the IMF, has been having an eventful time lately and may be ready to say Cheerio to the Queen), the British Diplomatic Service, and The Times.
Will we have got our collective act together to celebrate a memorable Olympics? Or will it be another failure of planning and imagination, a damp squib to match the River of Fire and the Millennium Dome? Will we give the cold shoulder to Europe? Or will our benighted islands reluctantly embrace the Euro? Will we realise we no longer have ‘human rights’, only debts? Will we bring back the real spirit of competition in which we re-learn the art of losing gracefully?
Limits will have to be set - flights grounded, populations controlled, behaviour schooled, promiscuity checked, standards raised, purse-strings tightened, freedoms curtailed. Will we see the end of the throw-away society, and a return to older, more lasting values? Or will it be the end of Freedom Food and the hope we still had for the planet? It could be the new age of the entrepreneur - or a field day for the ruthless.
Maybe we should all emigrate! At the first ingress Saturn, Uranus and Moon close to the UK meridian promise a lonely and rocky ride, while Jupiter rising at Baghdad (!) culminates over burgeoning China, and the third, final ingress chart sees
Jupiter rising in Tokyo, setting in New York.
But he is debilitated in Capricorn, so joy may not be unconfined. As in all aspects of life a sound structure is the prerequisite for true freedom. Only through determined self-discipline, moderation and careful planning are any of us going to survive what the globe could throw at us if climate continues to change. Sagittarius wants to magic it all away; Capricorn hunches his shoulders, gets his goal in focus, and plods on.
It would be nice to think that power might yet rest with the hitherto powerless, that the poor and the ill and the old and the lonely and the cold and the homeless and the hungry will be heard, honoured and rescued from unhappiness ... but I fear that as ever the controllers may
strengthen their grip on our lives and our pockets, the heartless may walk over us, and the ambitious will toss us off their mountain.
Grey power risks penalising the young; grey men may drain colour from the world. Yet perhaps in chillier, darker, frugal times there will be a return to commonsense, humility and a love of quietness - perhaps we will find an ordered simplicity in which we can take stock of who we are, learn to be self-sufficient, know our limits and use our time more wisely; perhaps when we are hardest-pressed and there is nothing left but prayer we will bend our knee on the highest summit of all, take God’s hand, and even come to realise the blessing of death.

In Capricorn(2008-2024), Pluto will focus on all the structural
aspects of our world and society, from business and government
or politics to the way we deal with time, space, career
direction, and life purpose.
Politically, it will dig up the dirt on nations, groups, or
individuals who have been less than forthcoming on their
policies or activities and mete out their fate or punishment.
Many governments or buisnesses and their leaders will be brought
to account and be eliminated or replaced if need be. If a deep
economic recession or even depression is due it will certainly
occur during Pluto's transit through Capricorn.
The United States has natal Pluto at 27°34' Capricorn so it is
due for a Pluto return which means the U.S. will either
die or be completely transformed in some way.
The United States, Canada, and other Sun in Cancer
nations will have a challenging opposition aspect from Pluto
during its transit through Capricorn so that they will be forced
to become more co-operative internationally if they wish to
survive. The USA in particular will be hit early with Venus at
2°21' Cancer and with three other planets following. This Pluto
transit may also signify the empowerment of World Government.
On a more local level, buildings, roadways, pipelines, and
infrastructure, will come under intense scrutiny, as this, more
than any other time, is when they may collapse or require
extensive repair. This will lead to entirely new methods
of building and maintenance.
Earthquakes and other underground disruptions may also increase
in frequency and magnitude. Expeditions deep inside the earth
will be planned and undertaken and we may unearth or discover
some truly fantastic finds. Rare gems and minerals will be very
prized or sought after, especially diamonds and rubies.
On a personal level, anyone in tune with the Pluto energy will
seek to become more organized, efficient, or economical
in their lives. Sun in Scorpio
natives, or those with Scorpio rising or some other key planet
in this sign will experience a new sixteen-year period of
restructuring and reorganization in their lives, getting rid of
what is no longer useful or necessary, and keeping or
incorporating what is. This can involve their job or
career, personal possessions, or even relationships.
Perhaps hardest hit of all will be Sun in Capricorn
natives, and to a lesser extent
Sun in Virgos and Taurus.
The early degrees of these signs will feel it first. Their will
be intense pressure on them to make huge changes in their
lives which may seem painful at first but which will be for the
best. If they do not make the
necessary changes they will probably suffer serious setbacks.
The other cardinal Sun signs will also go through some
heavy changes or restructuring.
Pluto in Capricorn will also revolutionize the skin,
hair, and bone industry, as this
it what Capricorn rules biologically.
Perhaps cures will be discovered for rejeuvenating the skin,
restoring hair, or regenerating bone. Even the aging process may
finally be understood and slowed, halted, or even reversed.
Regeneration through fasting will become more popular and
accepted.
Lastly, our sense of time and space will change. Miniturization
will continue to progress untill we can fit huge amounts of data
into ridiculously small spaces, and socially we may
simply learn to make the most of our living spaces and
environments. New time modes or
ways of counting and measuring may be established. The whole
concept of time may finally be understood for what it really is
-an illusion or artificial construct of mortal life.

Capricorn
Your Capricorn lover could be the poster child for the saying:
"My boy, you've got to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
There are no free meals in this life!" Another of
Capricorn's favorite mottos is: "Hope for the
best, but (make darn sure you) plan for the worst." I'll take
one final shot: : "God helps those who help themselves". Have
you gotten the picture yet? Capricorn is the
Zodiacal pessimist! The Zodiacal Mountain goat
Capricorn is hard working, almost always carrying more than his
or her own share of the load (and letting you know it), and
intent on climbing up to the very top of the heap. Practical,
earthbound Capricorn thinks that you should be right up there
with them, and Capricorn isn't shy about telling you that.
Does it sound like I'm being a wee bit too hard on Capricorn? To
tell you the truth, Capricorn is the one person I'd want to
have with me in a wartime foxhole. When the "crunch" comes,
you can safely place your trust in good old reliable and
faithful Capricorn. That's because Capricorn has one more
saying: 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going!'
Face it! Everyone's life feels like an endless series of wartime
foxholes and crunches. Love and life are very serious matters
for the average Capricorn. With Capricorn in your corner, as
your trusted partner and lover, you'll be sure to make it
through, "come hell or high water."
Another major feather in Capricorn's cap is that Capricorn is
one of the three Zodiacal Earth Signs. This means that Capricorn
tends to be well-grounded in time and space reality, and this
also means that Capricorn is normally quite tuned into and
grounded in their physical senses and in their body. In plain
language this means, Capricorn can often be a very giving,
sensual, and pleasurable lover.
Fortunately, there's no such thing as a 'pure' Capricorn type
(or any other Zodiacal Sign, for that matter). Often, your
Capricorn lover has a pinch of
Sagittarius and/or a dash of Aquarius that
helps lighten up all that dour Capricorn energy.
Shadow: Capricorn's bleak and pessimistic
attitude often leaves Capricorn prone to bouts of depression and
melancholy. And while Leo is the sign best known for being an
autocratic leader, Capricorn is often no slacker in the category
of tyrannical dictators and taskmasters.

An astrological event that can't be over-hyped
is happening today -- Pluto's ingress into Capricorn.
Humanity's time for a reality check. It coincides with
ephemeral bubbles bursting, and questions about the structural
soundness of the economy in general. The environmental situation
grows more urgent, even as individuals and corporations continue
the relentless pursuit of profit at all costs.
Capricorn's dark side is ruthless ambition and hoarding of
resources. Heaving under the strain, the planet Earth
herself will mirror Pluto's wrath toward status quo systems that
have become unsustainable. At the same time, we'll likely see
more consolidation of wealth, and fortresses built to sustain a
lopsided system that keeps much of the world in a state of need.
There are already hints of the breakdowns to come for
governments and global commerce. And eventually Pluto's
deathgrip will wrap around established ways of doing business,
with a chance to create something new in its place.
The last time Pluto moved into Capricorn was in 1778, a
period when old structures of concentrated power and wealth were
cast off, in favor of the shared model of democracy. Other
astrologers have mentioned a sense of anticipation, even
excitement, about the future. The planets in Aquarius right now
nurture the revolutionary spirit, and belief that things can
change for the better. It's a collective transition, but also
one with the power to fix us fiercely to our own highest goals.
