What if you could know in advance about profound changes headed your way that will transform your life? Would you take some steps to prepare for them? Well, powerful Pluto is making a major shift, so we thought we’d offer a preview of what’s ahead.
After predominantly spending 13 years in Sagittarius, Pluto starts its 16-year transit through Capricorn in November 2008, which is sure to rattle our comfort zones to some degree. Pluto can cause quite a bit of upheaval. Its purpose is to destroy outmoded ways of doing things. And since Capricorn rules the status quo, government, oversight and big business – actually, the foundation of our society – it means this influence will shake up the foundation of how we live.<\/p>\n
We’ve already seen some decades-old institutions crumble (or need government bailouts), which is just the tip of the Pluto iceberg. The way to make friends with Pluto on a personal level is to eliminate what’s not working in your life, whether it’s an attitude, material possession or a relationship that’s wrong for you. Then you’ll be freer to fulfill your true destiny.<\/p>\n
So how do you prepare for this cosmic shift? First, we’ll take a look at how Pluto works. Then we’ll get more specific about how Pluto in Capricorn will influence each sign. <\/p>\n
Self-knowledge is the key Charts matter<\/strong> Earth signs:<\/strong> Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn<\/strong> Water signs: <\/strong>Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces<\/em><\/strong> Air signs: <\/strong>Gemini, Libra, Aquarius<\/strong> Fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius<\/em><\/strong>
<\/strong>If you’re aware of where you need to be in life, and what changes you need to make to get there, Pluto can heighten that awareness by purging your life of attitudes, material possessions and people holding you back from fulfilling your destiny. Pluto is seldom gentle, so get ready to face up to reality and let go of what you don’t need. On the other hand, if you’re in the dark about your direction because you don’t examine your inner life, Pluto will cast off your blinders by making you face the real you.<\/p>\n
Just how it will do that depends on where Capricorn resides in your chart, and if Pluto is aspecting (influencing) your Sun, Moon or planets. For instance, if Pluto enters your Capricorn-ruled 7th house of marriage, your union will undergo a transformation that will either deepen your connection to your mate or, if you need to part ways, dissolve the marriage altogether. If you’re single, Pluto will transform your attitudes about marriage so you can attract your true partner. The same can happen if Pluto aspects your Venus. It’s all about eliminating the junk so you can be more authentic and live your true path.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
