Dear Friend and Reader,
Pluto’s ingress to Capricorn this week happens with all the usual cosmic fanfare that this planet travels with — accompanied by a spectacular Sagittarius New Moon. Pluto makes its way into Capricorn Wednesday at 10:50 pm EST and the New Moon is exact at Thursday at 11:54 am EST.
It is a wild New Moon, conjunct Mars and Mercury. This is like a farewell party in Sagittarius, which will be followed by an equally impressive welcome party in Capricorn at the Cap New Moon one month from now.
Pluto sign changes are monumental because this planet defines the most obvious eras in history. Pluto in Sagittarius (1995 through 2008) defines the turn of the millennium era. Pluto takes anywhere from twelve to twenty years for Pluto to journey through a sign, making Pluto’s place in the zodiac more generational rather than personal — until, that is, it becomes very personal. And currently it is.
What we are seeing is the end of an era. Pluto is going to be occupying Capricorn until 2024. So what can we expect of the new era? Well, I have been raised by Eric astrologically, who cautions very strictly any type of predictions and I couldn’t agree more. What I can provide for everyone curious is a link to the article I wrote about Pluto in Sagittarius back when the economic crisis was still wet behind the ears and on everyone’s mind.
