Planetary cycles bring out certain dynamics that are archetypal patterns of the collective psyche. There is an undercurrent on a global level that wants and tends to express certain psychological patterns of the masses. The Sign of Capricorn represents form and structure in its many expressions: Physical form, governments, economics, and sexual definitions. Astrologers have observed strong evidence that there are provable conclusions in these patterns of expression during the Pluto cycles through the astrological signs of the zodiac. Pluto is a heavy weight and believe me…it is a planet. A very powerful one at that. The “hoo-ha” about it not being a planet is hilarious, but that is another topic for another article. It is very noticeable that during the Pluto transit through the zodiacal sign of Capricorn that people will behave certain ways, and economics, sexuality expressions transform, and huge governmental structures are dismantled and reborn defined in new ways! It may have appeared like it was dooms day…and a renesaunce or “rebirth happens! Pluto takes approximately 14 years to go through a sign, and about 248 years to go totally around in its complete cycle. We are currently in a Pluto in Capricorn phase and have about another 7 years of crashing and burning, like the Phoenix bird, and out of the ashes comes a totally new and fresh expression that seem unpredictable! Parts of the pattern are definable and predictable, but heaps of it is not. The last cycle of this combination was in 1778 in a close orb to 1776… on top of the very founding of the United States of America where religion and economic structures of England were dismantled and a new country was created here. We are currently under the power of this kind of change again. Seen from this planetary archetypal perspective we gain insight what dynamics are crashing and the trends of the rebuilding of the structures of this country. The appearances we are observing during this election process are shocking if not down-right embarrassing to any intelligent observer. So, this poses the question of “what can we learn from the past?” so we don’t repeat the things that we don’t have to make this transition easier.

Capricorn likes to define reality in polarities like good or bad, male or female. Pluto destroys that paradigm allowing for a more inclusive holistic perception for the collective. There are infinite expressions of sexuality in unique patterns. A panoramic view of reality that is non-linear. It is holographic and quantum physics in intelligence. This “universal identification” allows each of us, and to collective be accepting of gender free labels. Freedom from that breaks down structures that government, economic, and family has built its identity, but during this evolutionary expansion destroys much of that. This dismantling will keep unfolding for another 7 years, so about 2024 a new shape of boundaries will occur, new words that are unpredictable. Trans-formation is happening and the sign of Capricorn with all its judgments, laws, politics, and economics will crumble as we know it. Enjoy this freedom and with this knowledge, a new security that is much more expansive and inclusive will emerge as a result. Androgyny in infinitely unique creative expressions is unfolding letting us be ourselves without judgment. There are as many sexes as there are people seem to be the motto of Pluto going through Capricorn. It is consciousness based identification rather than form….it is transformative for our culture. Enjoy your rebirth!
