Pluto has really started as he means to go on through his sojourn over the next 17 years in Capricorn – particularly, though not exclusively, focusing on the countries ruled by Capricorn: UK, Mexico, Australia and Afghanistan.

Remember the themes that this combination represents are: Pluto  = power, destruction and transformation, force majeure, birth, death and rebirth; and Capricorn = the State, it’s oldest institutions, such as ruling families, governments, big businesses, tried and tested methods, traditions, conventions and old age. 

Here in the UK we are watching in horror as Pluto strips bear our most treasured of institutions, our Parliament. Politicians and even ministers are being found to have had their hands in the public purse for years and it is now being brought into the light. The problem that we now have is that the various tabloid media are mindlessly whipping up support for a general election before the issue has been fully addressed – which may mean that the very right wing BNP (British National Party) could benefit from this and gain a great deal of power. It’s fascism by the back door and very, very worrying – however, typical of Pluto in Capricorn. 

For more on Pluto in Capricorn please see my previous article on this blog.

A small side issue that fits in with the above symbolism is the impending birth of a child, here in the UK, to a mother who is 66 years old. Well, how about that for transformation of old age? Rather her than me, but hey! Good luck to her, I say….. 

Saturn changed direction last week so will move ahead quickly to oppose Uranus again through September and then heading off into Libra, where it really is at its happiest. The global financial situation will be on everyone’s mind again and will continue to be an issue right through 2010.

Aries : 21st March – 20th April This New Moon falls in your Solar 3rd House bringing you a month of short journeys, possibly visiting your siblings, and/or rushing around your neighbourhood. You are full of ideas and the action all takes place on the mental plane, so this is a month of getting all your paperwork sorted out, emails answered and maybe even doing some public speaking. In other words this month is about communication, through whatever channels are available to you. Your exuberance is softened this month by the lovely Venus getting ever closer to your ruler Mars. Relationships are in your face this month – however, the reality of what’s going on will begin to cut through the dream and bring it down to earth by mid-June. This will enable you to judge whether the cost is really worth it for you. The slow moving energy in your workplace will begin to dissipate and a new lightness takes over – it could be useful to look at some of those ideas that you shelved a while ago and see if any of them have legs now.

Taurus: 19th April – 20th May This month’s New Moon colours your Solar House of financial matters. While your sign is said to be very steady with money, you can and do make sudden surprising decisions that can have you splashing out beyond your comfort zone on the odd occasion – and this month could be one of those times. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, just as long as you don’t over-stretch your budget and leave yourself out on a limb moneywise. The two relationship planets, your ruler Venus and her counterpart Mars are coming out of your closet and are going to be out for the whole world to see. Just make sure that you are in control of the amount of publicity you are comfortable with before you come clean. This could be the month that your sense of commitment to a passion of one kind or another is put to the test – if you really love it, him or her, then go for it.
