Pluto in Capricorn and the oil gusher

[live love laugh]

I was reflecting on the catastrophe this morning. Pluto in Capricorn has been kind of quiet--unlike Pluto in Sagittarius. Pluto in Sagittarius reminded me at first of the movie Killer Clowns from Outer Space--something that's supposed to be fun and lighthearted is just the opposite. I recall during the first decan of its transit that there were a lot of sporting fatalities--like skiers dying from running into trees. What a cruel (Pluto) joke (Jupiter). Then there was the assault on our legal system (Sagittarius) and the unchecked expansion (Jupiter)of unethical power by Bushco in the latter portion of Pluto's passage.

I observed Pluto's movement through Scorpio as well and recall the powerful sexual (Scorpio) messages from the media and music and the emergence of HIV/AIDS.

So, I wondered, what will Pluto in Capricorn bring? I thought that I might see the collapse of long-established (Capricorn/Saturn rules time)infrastructures (Saturn/Capricorn) on a massive scale (Pluto) but nothing had happened heretofore. Then it occurred to me that the oil gusher (Pluto is a water sign relating to the liquids) and how much more massive (Pluto) can the liquids be than spewing forth from the earth (Capricorn/Saturn)? How much more timeless of an infrastructure is there than the earth itself?

The one thing that know is that Pluto/Scorpio means transformation. If the past is a prediction of the future, this event will transform our living conditions permanently. Saturn rules Capricorn and Saturn also rules time. The excessively long period of time that this gusher is taking is also indicative of Pluto/Saturn. When we hear that the oil could spew for months, we are horrified. If the cruelty of Pluto is really at work here, it will take longer than that.

No matter what legislative and compensatory corrections are made, the damage is done. We have not been able to undo Bushco's assault, there has been no undoing of HIV and there will be no undoing of this disaster IMHO.

If there is a message in all of this for us, I believe that it is: we will live with the consequences of things that we ignore. How long can we ignore torture, corruption, spying, collusion, oligarchies and now the marring of the planet by those in power (Pluto)? It's like they are taunting us to do something. Will we? Will the people ever realize the power that we also have to fight back?

1. Great analysis ...

... I appreciate the clear breakdown of what influences are happening and what the planet energies portend. Yes, from my very limited astro knowledge base, I agree that the oil problem has changed things cataclysmically in ways we will still be seeing many years down the road. In one respect, you can view it as a gift because things WILL change going forward as a result.

Appreciate your viewpoint! :)

There is much wisdom in your post. :)

3. Pluto - Plus the Saturn/Uranus Opposition

This whole era is one for the astrological textbooks! Aieee.

I used to practice professionally. Wherever Pluto goes, that area of life is shaken to the core. In Western mythology, Pluto was the god of the Underworld. He oversees everthing that happens in the lower realms. Volcanos, earthquakes, deep drilling. In the material space, that means treasures stored in the ground. Minerals, ore/gold/jewels hidden in the ground. Remember 'Treasure Maps' from pirate stories? There were no banking cartels to shift things around the world, so valuables were often buried. Pluto also has financial (global capital, mass media) and psychological (control/sex issues) associations. Capricorn, where Pluto now sits, is an Earth sign. Cap is the sign of authority, patriarchy, and birthright/lineage. Anybody see those themes being kicked up? And it won't stop for a while.

More goodies: Saturn is the original ruling planet of Capricorn. While Pluto drama is being kicked up, Saturn has been facing off in a 2-year opposition to Uranus - the rebel, the overthrower of old authority. They will remain linked in that formation for some time to come. Neither side has definitely trounced the other yet. That face-off was EXACT, POWERFUL for the first time on November 4, 2008. Anybody remember what might have been going on at that time?

Heads up for the last week of June. Between the Solstice June 21st and some eclipses on the 26th and 27th - all hell could break loose. Just ride it out guys, things are clearing. In the long run, we'll be fine.

4. thanks, and w/Pluto in Capricorn: the big biz$$ bill has arrived

time to pay the piper. Uranus going into Aries squaring Pluto in Cap - the rollercoaster ride has just begun.

5. That is the summation of my sign. Water over earth. I am physically distraught right now.
