It seems many of us may have grossly underestimated the power of Pluto in Capricorn going into direct motion on Monday, September 17th after being retrograde since April 10th this year.
Since Monday, I have seen, heard of, and/or experienced more career and employer upheavals, and I’ve heard of, read about, or experienced people (including myself!) finding more clarity around their career and job situations than I have in a very long time. And these are some seriously major changes, not just a few little occurrences or minor declarations.
Pluto is definitely doing its thing.
But some of you may be asking, “What is Pluto’s thing, exactly?”
Well, the planet (or the recently re-defined planetoid) Pluto represents exactly what is happening right now – transformation. And when I use the word ‘transformation’, I don’t mean little shifts or changes. It’s more like the kind of change that happens when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly – it’s not even the same entity after its time in that cocoon!
Any planet in retrograde has us experience that energy inwardly. With Pluto in Capricorn in retrograde, that means that since April 2012, we’ve been urged to go within ourselves to assess which major changes we want to make in ourselves and our lives – changes that are specific to our individual goals and ambitions in certain areas of our lives. Think of this going within as the caterpillar being in the cocoon.
When a planet shifts into direct motion, those changes begin to manifest outwardly. It’s a sort of “be careful what you wish for as you might just get it” experience, and it is proving to be just that with this Pluto in Capricorn going into direct motion. Think of this as the butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
The major changes occurring right now are not lightweight in nature. They also aren’t necessarily negative, even though they may seem like it for some of us in this moment. Yet I urge you to recognize that what is happening is that we are each and all being called to step into our butterfly wings and embrace what we each and all have the capacity to become.
In my monthly e-zines and weekly blog posts, I’ve been sharing with you all about how these last few months have been a time of assessment and planning. It has been an opportunity for you to look at you life and the different elements and relationships you have within it, giving you a chance to set a new course for yourself and your life.
For those of you who have heeded the advice and seized the moment, these major events are probably not throwing you off-kilter. Pluto’s shift into direct motion is very much like that caterpillar coming out of its cocoon for you. All of a sudden, you have antennae and wings and stuff! You can perceive and receive things that you didn’t or wouldn’t before, and most of all, you can ‘fly’ to cover a whole lot more ground in much shorter time! Things may be happening much faster than expected. Though this may be a bit overwhelming, this may also bring pleasant surprises for you on a personal level that you’re likely able to take in stride. It may seem that your goals and ambitions suddenly don’t seem so far away, and in some cases, they may even have already manifested for you in your tangible or experiential reality!
However, some of you may have ignored, avoided, or offhandedly dismissed these opportunities to plot a new course for yourselves and your lives. If you fall into this group, this Pluto direct may seem devastating for you. Yet it’s not something that cannot be overcome – it only requires you to do a bit (or in some cases, a lot) of catching up.
Today, September 20th, the transiting Pluto is in tight aspect range with three other planetary bodies – Mercury, Chiron, and Uranus – all at 6° in their various signs .
- Mercury is ideas and thoughts and the communications of them (direct motion in Libra).
- Chiron is where we are most wounded, yet because of those wounds, it is where we are best at healing others (currently retrograde – in Pisces – since mid-June 2012 until mid-November 2012 ).
- Uranus is unconventional ideas, innovations, mass communications, technology, publicity, group participations and associations (also retrograde – in Aries – since mid-July 2012 until mid-December 2012).
Put these energies together, and it gives you an idea of what is going on – the communication of major transformative ideas which make us aware of what needs to be healed in our individual lives if we are to adapt to the technology changes that are affecting humanity-at-large.
Where these transiting planetary bodies fall in your individual chart will reveal a great deal about how these energies are affecting you specifically.

Thanks for reading and sharing. Until next post…
