for all signs…

The sound you’re hearing at the barely audible periphery of consciousness is the gears of the cosmos shifting and grinding, as a mighty-little-orb at the furthest reaches of our solar system slides into new a constellation for the next fifteen years, we’re talking Pluto, getting ready to remind us that it is indeed a planet and not just nebulous ball of gas.

Pluto rules deep transformation and change. It penetrates to the core of our being and is the catalyst to our most profound understanding of our selves. It’s moving from Sagittarius to Capricorn. While in Sag, Pluto saw the rise of religious fundamentalism in the guise of the mega-church evangelical movement, the emergence of Islam from the shadows and the surge of yoga and vedic sciences in the west. It also ushered in the era of performance enhancing drugs in the world of sports and as it moves out of Sag, the revelations of rampant drug use in baseball and track and field have been coming to light. But now Sagittarius takes a bow and exits stage left on the 26th of January. To put it all into perspective, Pluto was last in Capricorn just prior to the American Revolution, setting the stage for the next two hundred years as a republic. It was during the pre-1776 period where the rule of England became more and more autocratic and the colonies decided to upturn the apple cart and change the course of history.

Capricorn rules governments, big business and the process of aging. During Pluto’s reign in Capricorn, business will become government and the government will become business as the rise of the corporate state will mutate into the corporate nation and maybe even the corporate planet. Sovereignty of nations will come under question as the rush toward a single, efficient system of one-economy and one-governance, for all. The good news is that no matter how fixed and narrow the hierarchies manifest, when Uranus moves into Aries in 2010 the cracks in any new, orderly world will rupture into full blown canyons as the repressive energies, bottled up in the Pluto/Cap aspect will need release.

But until then, lets look at how Pluto will begin to affect each sign in the coming year.
