Pluto Enters Capricorn
        2008 - 2024

As god of the underworld, Pluto is the force that brings out problems through a crisis.  We are put to the test.  The sign that Pluto moves through indicates what areas will be put to that test.  Capricorn corresponds to government, the rules and stuctures of a society.The force of Pluto is beyond human control.  We can't rationalize or tame this powerful force that brings radical change to our lives. 

Like a sleeping volcano that awakens and erupts, its violent ourburst brings destruction.  It is a transforming force which confronts us and through which change rises out of the ashes.  Sometimes only a great crisis or shocking experience can break through an entrenched way of being or attitude.  Life gives us such a blow that we come face to face with the reality that we must go through it and cannot go back.  The landscape is permanently changed.

Pluto in Capricorn is not in a passive sign.  It wants to reorganize the system.  We have now entered an 18 year period in which it will be necessary for us to act and implement changes to the very foundation and structures of society, government and our way of life.
