A Sign of the Times?--A Few Notes on The Planet Pluto-Part 2
Hello again!
Hope that everyone had a pleasant week, in spite of Pluto's heavy-handed influences I suppose that we just have to believe that it's all for the best. To continue with a little history of Pluto's influence during the course of history, let's take a look at a few examples of things that have happened when Pluto was in Sagittarius. Remember that Sagittarius is the sign of expansion and morality, higher education, philosophy/religion, long distance travel (physical and mental); and that Pluto is the planet of power, paying the piper (See last week's post, link in Archives on right.)
When Pluto was in Sagittarius from 1506-1520:
1) The Protestant Reformation was begun in Europe by Martin Luther in Germany and King Henry VIII in England.
2) The Catholic Church starts construction on St Peter's, quite a big undertaking at the time.
3) Copernicus goes against Catholic beliefs proclaiming that planets circle the Sun.
4) Magellan sets sail from Europe to circumnavigate the EarthCortez enters Mexico, has Montezuma, native leader murdered and takes off with his gold. To this day many still come up against "Montezuma's Revenge".
5) Roughly 200 years later, when Pluto was again in Sagittarius, was an era of global expansion, colonialism/mercantilism--the first example of Globalization. Interesting, hey?
OK, so much for history and the current geopolitical picture. On a personal level, many of us are feeling the effects of Pluto on our Natal Charts--some more so than others. Unfortunately, I can only present a very general picture here for those most affected by Pluto's current placement.
Pluto is at about 22 degrees in Sagittarius now, near the end of the sign. In spite of the fact that each sign is 30 degrees, since Pluto is such a slow mover and also goes into retrogrades (appears to be moving backwards), it will be in Sagittarius until 2008. So the following influences will be in effect for quite some time. In general, these effects will be strongest for those born in the last half of the following signs. Those born in the first half are not likely to experience them.
1) Sagittarius
Sagittarians may find moderation difficult. Likes and dislikes could become more intense. Watch out for your ego. It may come on a little strong. You could also find that you're more assertive and competitive. Your social conscious is likely to be very strong and you're likely to be very intolerant of injustice and unfairness of any kind. The next 2+ years could be very interesting for you.
2) Gemini
The next 2+ years may not be so pleasant for Gemini. Geminis may feel defensive find it difficult to get along with others.
3) Virgo and Pisces
Virgos and Pisces may experience a new revolutionary spirit! As pressures build up, you guys may just suddenly explode! Compromise may not come so easily either. Hum, this could be interesting…
4) Libra
The next 2+ years could be nice for Libras and Aquarians. Communication and leadership abilities could be greatly enhanced making it a lot easier to get what you really want. Enjoy!
5) Ariesand Leo
Concentration and will may be greatly enhanced. Aries and Leos may have significant easement in using innate talents. Perception and insights may also be sharpened. Could it be that an Aries or Leo will make a far-reaching, significant discovery or breakthrough during the next 2+ years?
Sorry, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, and Capricorn, I'm not ignoring those of you born under these signs. It's just not possible to make any generalities based solely on your Sun Signs. In addition, please remember that the notes on the above signs are very general. No accurate readings can be made without one's entire natal chart. Let's just all remember to make the best of however the stars influence us!
A wise person knows the stars, a fool is ruled by them.
Have a good one,~Paula
