Often it&#8217;s difficult, here on the dense material  plane; at other times we can easily flow with synchronicity. Yet in this  phase of history, when we&#8217;re so obsessed by fear and when so many  people live entirely dispassionate lives, and when so many are afraid to  have new experiences, we need help: and Pluto in Capricorn is just  that. It represents a new phase of evolution wherein we can crack the  casing on those areas where we&#8217;re entrenched or stuck, and break out of  the many &#8216;traditions&#8217; that low-grade Capricorn represents in our era of  history &#8212; like the one that tells us how cool it is to be totally hung  up, smug or centered on personal &#8216;necessities&#8217;. This is not a time for  purity, for orthodoxy or for leaning on the past; it&#8217;s a time to be  flexible, adventurous and face the future, and that engine is coming  right from Pluto in Cap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetwaves.fm\/current_sky\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>free podcast<\/strong><\/a> (which come out each Wednesday), I offered some insight into these  events as well as into the updated chart for the Sept. 11, 2001  incident. While I planned to write about the chart in this week&#8217;s  edition, I didn&#8217;t, for personal reasons &#8212; it was just too heavy. But  I&#8217;ve included some articles out of the archives, which I&#8217;ll share with  you here.<\/p>\n<p>They are: <a href=\"..\/..\/astrology\/september_11th_2001.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sept. 11, 1984<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/planetwavesweekly.com\/dadatemp\/1384880366.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Gingerbread House<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ericfrancis.com\/articles\/wereitso.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Were It So<\/strong><\/a>.  I think that the most interesting current development in the chart is  that the lunar nodes (and thus, eclipses) have returned to Cancer and  Capricorn, where they were when the initial event happened, only they  have reversed positions. This is a little like saying that the karma of  Sept. 11, whatever it was, has done a 180, which is partly why this  anniversary is getting so much attention.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also running a <a href=\"http:\/\/planetwavesweekly.com\/resources\/facebook-astrology-fan-page.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Facebook recruitment campaign<\/strong><\/a>, to build up membership to our fan page.
