Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, which coincided with the breakdown (Pluto) of financial structures (Capricorn) across the globe. It was thought that an abuse of power within the world of corporate finance lead to economic crisis and the fall-out hit the working class. Uranus entered Aries in 2010, and as it moved to within a few degrees of its square to Pluto, this coincided with revolutionary movements that began to spread throughout the world. It’s true that Pluto in Capricorn is the power broker, the tycoon who will enforce their control and protect their status – possibly at any cost. But that’s not the highest manifestation of this combination. Capricorn is an Earth sign and in its highest form is concerned with greatness of work and cautious, conservative use of resources. Astrology describes impersonal influences that play out according to a cosmic time table, but how you respond to those influences is up to you. It is a time of profound uncertainty, as many of the structures of our culture break apart and we wonder what will take their place. But it’s also a time of enormous promise with potential to rebuild our values and structures. To emerge from the chaos onto higher ground, keep The Big Picture in mind, and it will help you have the strength and insight to act from a place of centered connection with your mind, body and soul, rather than react blindly. This Uranus square Pluto cycle is a time of testing, and will highlight areas of your life where you need to tune into your inner guidance to navigate the significant challenges you face as an individual and for all of us on a world scale. Indeed, for our world to evolve to a higher level of consciousness it would seem social structures that are based on inequality and greed must give way to something better for all.
