Capricorn — When the Moon is in the First House

That is the name of the Capricorn essay for Reality Check. I began with an unusual series of events that happen in Capricorn which I have not mentioned elsewhere, or maybe just once. I don’t recall where. In 2012, every time the Moon makes a conjunction to Pluto, it’s an occultation — it blocks Pluto entirely. This happens 19 times between April 2012 and August 2013, every time the Moon goes past Pluto. This has not happened since Pluto was in Cancer (near its discovery degree) in the 1930s. There are 29 eclipse-like events in 2012, as compared to just nine in 2011. Anyway it’s a fun piece and I am looking forward to seeing it on the page.
