For me personally this has been a very difficult article to write. I read pages and pages and pages of other Good Astrologers writing and hear things like NEW WORLD ORDER: and, hear Hitler’s voice in my head and hear work, and more work…Not my Libra souls favorite thing to tell people who are already working too hard. So what if, our work will be what opens our Souls to joy and makes us SING with delight, and do you know what that would be?
And Perhaps NEW world order really Does have to begin with new Thinking about who we are, what we do and what we are capable of doing, as we enter January 01, 2008 a Number 1 year of new Beginnings for the planet. Pluto in astrology in your own personal chart shows an astrologer what generation you belong to but much more it shows your own Strengths.
I think of Pluto as the Dark Lord. This planet of transformation and changes has been demoted To a dwarf planet by astronomers but those of us who have followed its transits (traveling) through the ages and signs know this is the MOST powerful energy out there.
I once thought that God was like Jupiter, larger than life, benevolent and a good Father. Then life happened, and I began to realize that if there were a planet in the sky which represented the highest deity that it would have to be Pluto.
What is it within us that allows us to plummet to the depths of death, destruction, despair and Loneliness and Raise our heads up to GREET the Dawn with an optimism, and a I KNOW I can do it attitude? What is it about the SOUL of humankind which endures loss, destruction, heartbreak and begins anew and becomes more than we thought we could be?
Pluto in our charts shows our strengths as generations and in the sky gives us the knowledge that Even like the Dark Lord (Darth Vader) we can be reborn anew and from evil can come good and from despair can come joy. Death, destruction and rebirth do not seem happy themes for a planet in the sky do they? But, aren’t they the things which happen in our personal lives and which make us stronger?
Losing a job is a death, a new career is birth also isn’t it? Moving, new relationships, children, friends, all is part of a huge cycle of endings and new beginnings. Pluto is the hand often behind many of these changes in our lives assisting us to push forward and Bloom even when the ground and our environment seems sterile and all hope is lost.
The Capricorn Generation is coming January 2008
Because of Pluto’s SLOW movement this planet will go into a sign and then go retrograde, back into the LAST sign it was in and then forward …This usually happens two to 3 times so those Who are born at the end of a PLUTO Era can also have Pluto in the sign before this sign. A sign is the way that the planet can PLAY out its theme and a new theme song is beginning for us all.
Confused? Well, maybe these changes happening during this time are going to need bothThe energy of Capricorn (the establishment and order, ruled by Saturn) and Aquarius the energy of the rebel and Ruled by Uranus the planet of change. Just as the changes we are to make now need the Sagittarius FIRE and power and optimism and the Capricorn earth and stability.
So, this year we will deal from June 13, 2008 until 11/26/2008 with Sagittarius issues of personal freedom, truth, justice and order as PLUTO retrogrades out of Capricorn Back into Sagittarius.
So, YES, political matters are going to change hugely. AND large corporations will try and gain power and there will be natural disasters. AND::: How old are you? When has this not been happening on this planet during your lifetime? So…ok, we have that one out of the way.
Pluto in Capricorn to me is the OPRAH show….the energy of people joining to create their own Systems, their own food drives, helping the needy, Doctors without borders, the Smile foundation which helps children all over the world and thousands of others things happening as people come together and ORGANIZE to make a new WORLD ORDER:
Pluto in Capricorn is Norma Menzies the woman who began the Bluebird of Happiness organization wanting for her 70th birthday to have a raffle and No presents but get enough to fix 10 children’s cleft palates. IT is the new groups and healing circles and people showing up when there is a disaster to help. To me It is hundreds of people arriving at a local store after a flood here in Washington State with food, water, blankets and All kinds of things to help people who they did not even know. We are already in this energy so we have nothing to fear do we?
Organization and Groups do not have to be designed just for Money but that is the coin Of the realm so you are seeing highly inflated mortgages and peoples homes being repossessed. New fines for traffic infringements, tolls for roads and bridges and the reality of this Capricorn and GRAND Trine of earth energy. Inflation and optimism has been a part of this Sagittarius energy and Now Capricorn says, what is the BOTTOM LINE and lets do this in a way that WORKS and lets get our lives back in alignment with what we can afford for our family, ourselves and our planet:
Pluto in Capricorn the last time brought civil disobedience and the BOSTON TEA party and The War where we broke from King George and BEGAN the United States. So, now our country is having its PLUTO RETURN 260 years and how are we doing? IS it time to Realign ourselves and our laws? And create a more workable system? These are all questions that will be answered over the next few years and which I have no answer for.
In Astrology (This is just a kiss) (Keep it simple sweetie) So, at the sign of Sagittarius we move from the PERSONAL ENERGY into transpersonal energy. Transpersonal means the good of the all outweighs the good of the one and that we are all in this together on this planet.
Sagittarius is about far visions, truth, justice, equality and though many of you may know Sagittarius sun sign people who you might disagree with this…the intention of the sign is What we work with for its HIGHEST Vibrational energy. So, Sagittarius has been our passion, our truth and our justice for all with Pluto in this sign for the last 13 years.
Now Capricorn energy is where. Capricorn is the sign which brings the Winter Solstice and the LIGHT as days become longer and nights shorter. Capricorn says we must all climb the mountain and achieve more. Capricorn is the energy of INITIATION and aren’t we all realizing that the world we thought we had is not here anymore. Is it time for us to bring back nature, to make the planet healthier and ourselves also?
Capricorn is the final Earth sign and All Earth signs want to BUILD and this next 2 and ½ years we have a GRAND TRINE OF EARTH energy. All of us have this within our charts but more importantly this is the LIGHT SHINING upon this planet.
This energy says to me, we do not have to be perfect, but work to be the best you can be and each day you Will become more. Work for a better world and in turn that will create a better me. So, we can truly individually join together to create a new world order. IF the Government will not do what we need, then you will see Greenpeace, and other world organizations creating a NEW WORLD order. Small groups taking over and replacing large outdated and top heavy Organizations and A NEW order has already begun if we think about it.
All of the earth signs represent thoughts, things, and energy which we can touch, see, feel, taste and EARTH wants to keep it REAL: Our Sagittarius dreams of the SECRET and much more have been to inspire and illuminate us for the real work ahead which is to clean up the planet And the world.
But first we have to clean up ourselves, our thoughts and our visions and our ideas. So we have CHIRON the wounded healer moving closer and closer to Neptune in Aquarius (another article coming on this one) (Aquarius is an AIR or ideas sign) But being aware that Neptune (intuition and illusion) and Chiron (healing the wounds of the planets are January 01, 2008 7 degrees apart and move increasingly closer together until they merge energies with Jupiter the planet of expansion on June 01, 2009 to create a very different energy and one which is anything but earth and solid.
As the energies of intuition (Neptune) and healing (Chiron) are moving closer and closer together until Chiron Moves to Pisces June 3, 2010 we will see health care and much more change in our world and YOU WILL have an important part in it all. Aquarius is an air sign so a huge part of this creation of a new world seems to begin with the way we think.
Remember that Our Country, the United States of America was Created while Pluto was in Capricorn so there is an energy of the rebel inherent within this sign also.
I will quote Mark Dodich a friend and fellow astrologer in Portland Oregon www.astromark.us mark@astromark.us “Spiritually, Capricorn is the sign of initiation into a higher order of life. Like a snake shedding its skin, the old self is released to make way for the new. What old structures of your life no longer serve your highest good? Expansive Jupiter entered Capricorn for a one year period December 2006 to help kick off this new planetary frequency. Jupiter asks you to take risks on yourself, and Capricorn asks you to do it in a cautious way. Know that you are in the early stages of this grand opening of your spiritual expression. So it will not always be comfortable” (Contact Mark for his free newsletter and for the events he will be doing here in Seattle and Portland Oregon)
Get ready to build for your own life is my take on this. AND get ready to see you needing to VOTE in the people who will create the changes you personally want to see happen. Get ready to roll your sleeves up and make life better for yourself and know that by doing that, you are going to HAVE TO work for the planet. NO air or food, NO US, right?
So, look for someplace to donate what you have to give. LOOK at what you have to give personally, look at your talents, abilities and know the time to begin is RIGHT NOW: IF not now, then when? Is the theme of these world changes.
IT is time to heal ourselves, heal the planet and become what the Great Spirit intended of us. Aka God, Buddha, the light, the Universe or whatever you choose to call higher power.
Pluto in Capricorn asks us to ALL become that HIGHER power for ourselves and the world…and I truly believe we can do it… So , begin today with someone small, I shall organize my office to be able to reach out to you more efficiently. And answer e mails of some folks who had a rough year.. ….. IT begins with YOU and me, RIGHT NOW:
And For those of you who are History buffs, you can research some of these changes as Pluto moves to a new sign in the information below. For the rest of you just know that the Pluto Generations who are alive now are mainly:
and now We launch January 2008 with PLUTO into Capricorn asking us to INITIATE ourselves to be the Best we can be, to leave fear behind and to begin to build The world we keep whining about not having. THE time is now To DO our part… and that means being ready to step up and Do the work ourselves…AND make the necessary changes and Vote for people who will assist with this ..
AND:
I think this might be some Interesting information for those who like History..
IF you look at when you were born and remember your life cycles you will find some MAJOR Shifts happening when Pluto changes signs. From the age of 10 I knew I wanted to work with people in a HOSPITAL: I began this career at 14 years old when I worked in a nursery in a home for unmarried Mothers in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1995 during the time when Pluto Moved to the sign of FREEDOM Sagittarius in my VALUES and first house of self. I quit healthcare and became an astrologer full time. SCARY BUT the best choice of my life...
I am a PLUTO IN LEO Generation and can track major changes in my life by Pluto, what about you?
Looking at the next few years I would think that many of us Will see as more changes than we would have believed possible. AND knowing That we do have power to help make those changes is a very important part of This whole theme.
So, no throwing up your hands and saying “I cannot make a difference” Everyone by everything they do makes a difference. Listen to your heart and soul and Answer the calling you are feeling so strongly right now to begin this SECOND to help to make the world a better place.
I wish you joy and love and NO FEAR and Peace within your own heart as this is Where it has to begin (within your heart and head) to spread to the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
