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.

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.
