Upon the inauguration of America’s new president, millions of people felt something extraordinary happen; something that went beyond a mere political victory party. It felt to many as if a flood of inspiration was unleashed —- not just in the USA, but, remarkably, all over the world – whose power astrologers chalk up not to a man winning an election, but to the epochal transits upon us. The fact that Americans selected their candidate on the very day of the opposition between Saturn (the past) and Uranus (the future) is only one piece of the story. Read More >>
If you woke up suddenly out of stage-four sleep, with no idea in the world what time it was, which hand of the clock would you look at first? If you are like most of the denizens of Earth who have learned how to tell time the old-fashioned way,1 your eyes would naturally seek out the short little hour hand.
In astrology, the transits that correspond to the hour hand of a clock are those of the mysterious outer planets.
Last winter, the astrologer Ted Denmark hit the nail on the head: “2007 will be the last normal year. We are now in the whirlwind of the big economic storm like going down a slide–there’s no turning back.”
Though Pluto will be tending to the last flickers of the Sagittarian flame until late 2008, the portents of its entry into Capricorn have been astonishingly obvious since it made the big crossing on January 25th.1 And we would expect no less.
Well, it happened like clockwork. Cosmic clockwork. Just as Pluto entered Capricorn, the sign of financial infrastructures, the economy hit the skids.
Pluto’s job is to expose the rot in the areas governed by the sign it’s in. The last time this planet changed signs, its impact was similarly immediate: in the mid-nineties, as soon as it went into Sagittarius (religion), the pedophile priest scandal broke. The time before that, within days of its ingress into Scorpio (sex and death) in the mid-eighties, AIDS hit the headlines.
The Mars- Pluto opposition reaches exactitude again on March 6th- 7th. What might we expect from the second go-round of this notorious transit?
Before we venture into the guessing game of “What’s going to happen?,” let us consider once again the nature of cosmic laws, which are never boring; given that they are utterly consistent and, at the same time, completely inscrutable.
When the Tiny Little Planet of Great Big Power crossed that line into the first degree of Capricorn, humanity was introduced, once again, to a new chapter in its evolution. Pluto’s tenure through this no-nonsense earth sign will restructure humanity’s vision for about 15 years.
In my last Skywatch I wrote that the 13-year-tenure of Pluto in Sagittarius was not going to be finished with us until its fiery swan song of late December. Not only Jupiter and Pluto but the Sun and Mercury too were going to be overlapping in the sky, deepened in significance by their alignment with the Galactic Center.1
Astrologer, writer and cultural commentator Jessica Murray brings to light the spiritual underpinnings that shape both the personal and collective experience of our time.
