I was posed a question by a client/friend a few days ago, asking me about how I felt about Pluto's entry into Capricorn and the year 2009. He has been kind enough to give permission for me to share my response here in my astrology blog - Thank You! :D Please note that all of my thoughts here are just that, thoughts. I did not do any research or astrological work to arrive at anything I have said.
To be honest, I haven't given much thought to next year on a personal or global scale. My life is so difficult at the moment it takes all I have to maintain my family and my daily work load. I have never studied worldly trends so much as I am a very personal astrologer, focusing on individuals and their relationships (and helping them get through trying times) although the world situation does affect us all and sometimes in dramatic ways.
I feel overall that we are in a major shift in consciousness and it may get worse before it gets better...it takes people like you and I to try to maintain a higher perspective and inspire others even when maybe we, ourselves, are having trouble too. It is a major challenge and can be draining to carry so many people energetically. The economic crisis will result in many turning to more spiritual things...and others to crime. With younger souls generally leading the governments, there will be continued clashes of authority and threats to all of our safety.
Pluto's entry into Capricorn may bring about karmic closures on a worldscale...closures in preparation for a new mind-set and new beginnings. Some countries may see an end to their existence or shift in how they are viewed within the world society...loss of authority for some is possible and this will lead to new laws and a new power structure within the larger picture. This position of Pluto will help us transform our philosophy and identity in order to link more solidly within a larger framework...in essence, I could say it is very possible we as the human race will begin to move more toward a global society with global laws and infrastructure. This will be a major shakeup for everyone as we shift into a larger mindset. Anger and fear of loss will drive any new wars or increase already existing tensions as boundaries become less rigid...this means also that invasions could well be on the agenda as fear drives authority figures to conquer and attempt to dominate in order to maintain their power. Any abuse of power with Pluto in Capricorn will stir up a major karmic backlash. Guilt, depression, and heavy judgment may all go hand in hand. Loss of power combined with guilt for wrong action could drive us, at absolute worst, into a new global war as countries struggle to maintain their identity. At best, those in positions of power will begin to see the error of their ways and strive to evolve and move forward into a global society/economy. Guilt for past wrongs could help bring about a deeper awareness of a need to join together to create a more peaceful environment for us all to live within. I feel that we may have to go through the darker manifestation of Pluto in Capricorn before we can move into the more positive expression.
There will of course be positive things in 2009, as always :D Even in the worst moments of life there will be something positive to hold on to and to share with others.
Blessings,
Dena
