Pluto In Capricorn

April 7 and Pluto goes Retrograde whilst on April 8 Saturn slips into something a little bit less comfortable – that’s right: Virgo. Hair shirt and all. Saturn in Libra may be weird but it’s exalted. It’s like a Gothic dance that they do.

But forget Saturn for a sek.

The reason I mention Pluto now is that the planet-of-transformation is already in slo-mo, getting set to Retro back to 2 degrees of Capricorn…

Whenever Pluto stations Retro or Direct, it zaps out Plutonic rays of psycho-weirding and it is as if circumstances conspire to make you do a bit of psych work you would otherwise have happily left undone. That’s right. Not done at all. Why even bother? But when Pluto stations Retro, you look back to where you SHOULD look back.

Poignant reminders that we are in a new era now evoking quite intense & exquisite nostalgia for the old one. It’s Pluto, so there is always some major psych insight to be had from it…but still.

Think – if you dare – in terms of Pluto Eras: 1995 until early 2008,  1984 to the mid-90s…I could go on but need to go take some Pluto Juice.

Just when you think you’re going absolutely ape with the combo of revved up desires and delayed ego gratification (thank you Venus-Pluto Square & Mars Retro at Zero Degrees of up itself Leo) – along comes Moon in Capricorn to the rescue.

Yes, it’s a Dark Moon (ie; Waning and right before the New Moon) but SO what?

Capricorns aren’t afraid of the Dark.

This is the Moon for you if you want a sharp jolt of getta-grip style thinking, some inner self-pep-talking and the Tao of Endless Self-improvement to distract you from the above nebulous yearnings and a.w.o.l. men etc. Think of this Moon as Saturn in a bottle.

No, Saturn as a room spray – it is supposed to have no scent but the discerning person can detect a whiff of platinum, success and lemon cypress.  It instantly causes the mind to focus on what matters most and to prioritise. There is, after all, always something you can do.

Art & Ghosts

When the Moon moves into Libra and starts to conjoin Saturn/square Pluto,  one naturally thinks of one’s secrets. But because it’s a Libran Moon, they can seem quite elegant, more like delicious surreal things to be weirdly cherished…Still intense though.

This is the Dark Moon ideal: a peaceful, eco-linened & no doubt lemon-grassy-ti-tree scented haven from which to gather one’s wits and rest in prep for the next big push.

A quick little productive gaze back into the past before maxing out the brilliant Chiron-Neptune fuelled Auspicious Aqua-Weirding that comes along with this New Moon.

But most of us ain’t going to be sprawling around navel-gazing. Saturn is still within range of Pluto and for many of us, our motivation is at an all-time high.

Sleep, springwater and sanity are the new luxuries. Who needs Thing Lust when Lust-Lust is free? Most of the time.

Remember that Capricorn – apart from being a mega-stinge with hot cheekbones and a 50,000 year career plan – is also horny. So we don’t need to cut back on everything during Pluto in Cap. Carbs and naff crap – yes. Sex – no.

Also, whilst I am here: the current path of retro-Mars stirs up any unresolved tensions or flash-nostalgia from July-Aug 2005 and March-April 2006.  If you do get the chance to do a bit of Dark-Mooning about, hone in on those months for a glorious ‘aha’ moment.

And, I shall be back after the New Moon!  xxx

So now the Moon is Dark (ie; right at the end of her Moonwane) and in Capricorn, so setting off the Saturn-Pluto Square that is one of the key themes this year.

If you’re not feeling the fabulousity of the Auspicious Aqua Weirding (the rare and beautiful Chiron-Neptune conjunction) it may because you’re trying to ignore a Saturn-Pluto reality…most likely something to do with a merde health habit, quasi-hysterical financial policy or desperately dysfunctional relationship but you’re sticking it for reasons not so much to do with sentiment/loyalty as fear and so-called convenience.

You see, Chiron and Neptune are beyond the bounds of Saturn so if there are Saturn-Girl style issues to look at, Saturn blocks the cosmic light.

Otherwise, if you’re in tune with Saturn, this Moon feels pretty damned good; a lot of finishing up ye olde biz, dealing with deets and actually toting up accomplishments. The low-ebb bit of it comes because you just don’t truly want to go all out in decadence mode. You’d rather work late or at least let your bod work hard for you doing cell renewal whilst you wander the realms of Morpheus, dreaming grand visons & doing your dark-time psyche work.

Oh Libra.

Saturn in Libra. Pluto Squaring Libra. Uranus getting set to oppose Libra. Later in the year, Venus – ruler of Libra – goes Retrograde in Scorpio, an intense, devious and kinky placement for the airy, tinkly heights of Libra.

Seriously, Librans are under the pump at the moment.

Yes, Leos are hogging the limelight as usual with their ‘oh fuq Mars is retrothingy in MY sign’ and then Virgoans chime in with “Don’t forget that Saturn is yet to finish going through Virgo and my list of To Does and Ulcerating Responsibilities is naturally longer than anyones.”

Pisceans continue to refine their look of chic oblivion whilst pulling off long secret hours of extreme slog.

Aquarians, as usual, see SPACE as the solution to everything. Only they’ve got some fancy quantum term for their disappearing acts.

Arieans went secretly insane around about last November but make up for it via absolute productivity and life force.

Capricorns finally got the memo from Pluto. They get it now. 2024 is when Pluto gets out of their sign? Great. An excuse to long-term plan. Now for a manicure.

Taurus and Kataka alternate retail benders with carbophiliac jags, depending on their budget and/or how buff they think they have to be to pull.

Geminis are power-flirting in between conspiracy theories  to distract themselves from entrenched shared $, debt and psycho-sexual merde. Multiple identities work really well in those 3am chatrooms.

Scorpios: Shamanic healing, stockmarket obsession, pentathlon, U.F.C., botox brokering – there is not a single nano-sek left unaccounted for when your ruler is in Capricorn.

Saggo is still flipping OUT everytime he/she sees the P word, forgetting that the planetoid entity moved ON from Saggo and is not coming back this lifetime. But what, they think, if I reincarnate and have another 15 year Pluto transit? And, always the positive thinker, Sagg chooses to focus on the joys of Uranus getting into their fellow fire sign of Aries in just a few months YAY O.M.G I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

But poor darling Libra is being beset by both Saturn and Pluto, especially those Libby-Fleurs born in September!

So, let’s say nice things about Librans and Libra, this is your sacred grizzling sanctuary.

Astro-Cliche or not, Crab-Peeps are the WORST clutterers and hoarders. They cling tenaciously to even the most naff bit of memorabilia, clearly inappropriate clothing from centuries ago and non-needed administrivia. And I ADORE Cancerians but this trait irks my Mars in Virgo. So now it seems that Lindsay Lohan is to get her apparently hideously cluttered home uncluttered on American television.

Despite all the allegations, craziness, non-knickers-wearing, dionysian revels, flake stuff, I still love LL. Okay, mostly because of Mean Girls, which was a long time ago. But wouldn’t it be unreal if the big clean-out helped to fix her life up? That image above, btw, is of her bedroom.  Lindsay has a hardcore Mars in Capricorn with Pluto gliding up to conjoin it in a few years time. There ain’t nothing like a Pluto-Mars transit for streamlining your life and getting thy merde together.

The Walking Man by Giacometti has broken the world mega-bucks $$$ record in sculpture, selling to an anonymous bidder over the telephone for $104 million US. You know how it is, when you have a few drinks and there is a lot of Aquarius action in the air. You VALUE art for fuqs sake.

The sculptor is a Libran but i’m betting he had s-loads of Saturn going on in his chart as a lot of his work looked like this. And I couldn’t have this in the house (even if someone gave it to me, lol, I’d hire or charitably donate him out to places) because the spindly legs flip me out. Like a tall man striding out of a concentration camp or something with his poor feet sticking in glug and the back foot looks like he is wearing heels from two seasons ago.

It’s so Saturnine. I mean, really, does this sculpture not epitomise Thin and Rich?

So if you had just over $100 million to blow on sculpture, where would you put this thing? By the fridge to stop you from doing late night Carbophilia? In the garden as a Yuppy Scarecrow?  In your bedroom to hang your discarded clothes off?

The kind of art you like is your Moon so when answering, please quote your Moon…

My Moon is in Libra so I like only classical Greek style sculptures that are sort of curvy and well-built…This thing worries me. Apparently, The Walking Man was done in the 1960s and purposely to go around banks in Manhatten…So, what does that mean? Is there an Art Historian in the house?

Finally: So appropriate that THiS is the big art shebang of Saturn Square Pluto in Capricorn for the 2nd time.

I don’t have a single planet in the sign of the Sea-Goat but I’m turning Capricorn.

I so completely blame the Saturn-Pluto Square for this.

I’m getting Capricorn Consciousness.  At least, I think that’s what it is.  Could any actual real-life Capricorns please enlighten me.

I am walking home and realize that i need to buy olive oil spread (like butter) but that i’ll have to either get $ out at a non-my-bank atm & thus pay a fee or purchase enough stuff to make the shop card limit. Petty stuff. Usually, i would be like so t.f what. But my Capricorn Consciousness said “you know what? You don’t even NEED revolting hydrogenated crap in your arteries. Live clean. You are not going to give that bank a cent that you don’t have to and why go and buy extra stuff you don’t actually need? Enjoy the thrill of not doing it…”

Guys, this is how Capricorns get +stay thin and rich. Stinge on the small stuff so they can slurge on the big items. The only thing I have ever known Capricorns not mind paying for is good advice (like their lawyer).

But for me it’s uncharacteristic. So if you haven’t been paying attention up the back there, Saturn in Libra squared (a challenge) Pluto in Capricorn last November and just the other day.  Saturn is now whizzing backward to oppose Uranus again (that all began last Feb) and then forward again to square Pluto for the third and final time in August 2010.

So a lot of us are doing Saturn Girl/Capricorn Consciousness and it’s feelling okay. It’s sort of like we are settling into Pluto in Capricorn. I mean, it’s there until 2024.  And you know Saturn RULES Capricorn so when Saturn aspects Pluto in the sign that it rules, you betcha there are tangible changes and some hardcore pragmatism.

Even my Saggo Neighbour Dude, renowned for his feck-free approach to life, has embarked upon a cleaning, gardening (growing salad vegetables to provide his band with cheap nutrition so they can work extra-long hours) and 60hour a week funds-sourcing ventures.

If Andy Warhol were still with us, he would  have been about to have his Uranus Return and Mars Retro would have been all OVAH his Sun-Mercury in Leo Rising…I think he’d love this pic and the site from which it springs…CashForYourWarhol

So Pluto in Cap, of course…

And note Andy’s chart – Uranus trine Mercury (genius) and Saturn (enduring, social cut-thru to the max)…

And, if you have not already seen the Uranus Return post from a while back, do go there because the POEM is perfect for this Full Moon Eclipse coming.

And remember – i am not really here & blogging…I could not resist this but I am not back officially till Jan 4. Scopes are all bunging along as usual though…INCLUDING the year ahead Oestro-Medusa & Weekly Scopes up on Weds for subscribers btw…Go ahead and ask for a freebie trial if you like but i am NOT checking e-mails from Weds through till Monday, so soon yah… xx
