Astrology and the Outer Planets in our Times
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 9:41 pm
I have been drawn to look at things from an astrological perspective again recently, and feel that this information can also help others in deepening their understanding of the times we live in. I will start with Pluto and go over the outer planets, their sign, and aspects they form with other planets, and how these energies are likely to manifest. I was surprised, once again, at how astrology really does provide a language that describes what is taking place in such an informative manner. The more you understand these forces, the more you can at least direct them in your own life, even though it will still be against the backdrop of the larger collective.
Pluto first entered Capricorn this time around in 2008 and will be there until it goes into Aquarius in 2024 (after a short stay in the spring of 2023). It has a very elliptical orbit, and takes approximately 248 years to complete a cycle around the Sun. Words associated with the energy of Pluto, and the Sun sign associated with it, Scorpio, are words like deep, intense, hidden, secretive, explosive, passionate. It is the planetary ruler of the 8th house, so there is a correlation with all three, sign, planet, house, and rules things like birth, death, sex, inheritance and other people's money, the underworld, volcanoes and earthquakes.
Those people with their Sun sign in Capricorn, or even the other three Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, and Libra, will experience Pluto's passage through this sign rather more intensely than most. Those with Sun in Libra will experience a Pluto opposition, and those with Aries or Cancer Sun sign will experience Plutonian energies in a square. It tends to exert a level of tension to the area of life effected. The more you know yourself and have done the inner work, the easier this will be to integrate, transmute, and apply this energy in a way that ultimately can be seen as beneficial. You could end up feeling like a whole new you.
Or, it can feel absolutely devastating, as if taken down to the bone. Because Capricorn is all about structures, the framework that is often holding up our lives and our perceptions. If those structures have not been built on solid ground, and an accurate view of ones reality, then it can indeed feel quite cataclysmic. It is interesting to think about how this might apply to the bigger picture of the world right now...

Pluto in Capricorn
PLUTO IN CAPRICORN - OVERVIEW:
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 also rules 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 and stronger 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.
The outer authority and 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.
PREVIOUS TIMES OF PLUTO IN CAPRICORN
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.
