Pluto in Capricorn

Now Until Mar 23, 2023

 

The planet of transformation ends its 13-year stay in religious Sagittarius, a period when fundamentalist beliefs have radically changed the world. The next phase, Pluto’s entry into organizational Capricorn, will alter the nature of corporations, nations and international groups of all kinds. The planet Pluto and sign Capricorn share a strong sense of intention and focus that are likely to increase efficiency in many domains. However, their mutual hunger for results can repress compassion and contrary views that might slow down the inexorable march forward. The power of corporations will probably reach a tipping point during Pluto’s 15-year stay in Capricorn. It is possible that multi-nationals will grow so strong that they will supplant governments as primary sources of authority. While some believe that this has already occurred, we can expect a further erosion of state control or a strong reaction against corporations that eventually reduces their dominance. This reflects the Pluto paradox as this planet both intensifies and purifies, concentrating force and yet, eventually, breaking down structures to eliminate excess.

Pluto and Capricorn are more about collective structures than personal ones, yet we will still experience this transit as individuals. Stripping away unwieldy and outmoded ambition can challenge us to reconsider our goals, even our most treasured ones. Pluto raises the stakes in whatever game you’re playing, challenging you to increase your commitment or to leave the table. Again, there is a risk of becoming so focused on achieving results that flexibility is lost. It’s hard to keep an open mind in a tunnel, so burrowing through the boundaries of certainty is a healthy counterpoint for balancing Pluto in Capricorn’s excessive determination.

Pluto is associated with the psychological shadow, making it more common place to project negative images on authority figures. While we can hope that its transit through Capricorn may purge destructive elements from the culture, an even more productive application of this force is to question the certainty of your own beliefs. A willingness to re-examine them cuts away lazy thinking and outmoded concepts that inhibit growth and the full realization of our potential.

Ideally, Pluto brings us to the essence of issues and, in Capricorn, will lead to a transformation of the social order, one in which the extreme inequities of power and resources are overcome by a burgeoning awareness of our shared humanity. Extreme danger from environmental issues is one less than desirable way in which our priorities can become redirected. Yet as more and more individuals take responsibility for themselves, the power of transformation can come from within and be a consciously creative force for change. When each of us faces our fears and turns darkness into light we can reshape the world with love and hope rather than reacting to pain and fear.

General Description:
The people of Tibet are most superstitious. It is the custom for almost everyone to wear charms. The Amulet-box illustrated contains small inscribed scrolls covered with magical characters. These magical formulae are written and blessed by their Lamas. The scrolls are believed to be all powerful spells for appeasing evil spirits, keeping the wearers from all physical harm, safeguarding them from every kind of danger, and protecting them from the blighting effects of the evil eye. Many of these charm boxes are of gold elaborately chased, and encrusted with turquoise.

Lust

While similar to classic Tarot’s Strength card, Lust goes a step further by suggesting we should enjoy the pleasures of exercising our strengths, sating our passions, and embracing that which allows one to express the majesty of their unique self. The lust this card indicates is not purely sexual, but at its most basic this lust is a primal desire to experience life to the fullest degree possible while taming our more beastly side. Lust implies that we not fight with our base instincts, but rather that we accept and manage and nourish them as an essential aspect of maintaining a balanced, complete self.

Your Tarot Power Cards for Today

This drawing represent strengths you were born with.

Justice

Justice signifies the principle that although things sometimes seem askew the Universe is ultimately fair. We may not see or understand why things happen, but most of us sense there is in fact a reason and that balance exists even when we cannot see it. Justice denotes fairness regardless of who you are. At its purest the forces embodied by Justice give us the power to see without bias, and the courage to be accountable for our actions. These powers also test our faith at times. These powers also give us the tools and strength to fight injustice in our everyday life. All we have to do is use them.

When The Emperor is among your personal cards, the influence of Justice may be increased. Having The Devil in your personal cards may diminish the influence of Justice.

 

 

The High Priestess

Completely feminine and the counterpart to The Magician, the High Priestess is the Gatekeeper of the subconscious, the unknown. She travels in worlds which most of us only glimpse in our dreams. Her realm is that of unseen truths, untapped potentials, and hidden dangers. The Calling of The High Priestess is to go beyond the obvious and visible to tap those powers which are veiled from normal vision. While she is passive by nature, she has the power to uncover unknown potential and is very aware of the infinite potential all humans harbor within them. She is also very patient. She can wait for events to blossom in their own time.

When The Hermit or Hanged Man are among your personal cards, the influence of The High Priestess may be increased. Having the Magus in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The High Priestess

Your Horoscopes for Wednesday, April 15th

 

Aries 

There can be harsh words or false starts happening today, dear Aries. You can be excited about a project or idea, but you might also face opposition for it. If you’re feeling cooped up or unable to express yourself, try not to stir the pot further. Keep emotional excitement high by doing something you love, but don’t overdo it. The intensity of the day’s aspects could bring excitable energy to your inner world or home life. There can be a sudden need to revisit a neglected area of your life now. Tricky power dynamics can be at the root of tensions experienced now. People can be especially defensive of their ideas and opinions, and it may be best to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. However, when it comes to defending a loved one, it’s a different story altogether. A New Moon occurs tonight, and in some ways, it can have the effect of wiping the slate clean on the home front and with family.

Taurus

Interactions with others can be edgy and tense today, dear Taurus, particularly with a lover, but quite possibly with others as well, on some level. Things might seem fine until there’s a difference of opinion. You’re likely to discover that people are holding onto their opinions quite fiercely right now, and there is little rational about it. If you look more closely, however, it’s likely about power and control. There can be a lot of talk but few answers now. Try as much as possible to keep a healthy level of detachment when expressing opinions or engaging in a debate. There is competitive, provocative, and controversial energy around you now. However, it’s important to use whatever you discover today as fuel for letting go of matters that are only dragging you down. The New Moon tonight occurs in your communications sector, emphasizing a chance to begin fresh when it comes to learning and connecting.

Gemini

Thinking can be sharp and exciting when it comes to financial and practical matters today, dear Gemini, but there can also be a tendency to be provocative or to get caught up in power games now. You could be defending your values, your worth, or even your spending now. Watch for a tendency to want to prove something, whether it’s in yourself or coming from others. Because of this, you may want to put off major decisions. People may be misinterpreting your intentions and actions. Avoid pushing too hard for answers as this can lead to undue stress. Alternatively, others might perceive you to be playing games or less than honest. Be watchful of your stance in addition to the words you choose to express yourself. It may be that you’re taking things a little too personally now. Tonight’s New Moon offers you a chance to start anew and with fresh energy.

Cancer

A New Moon occurs in your sign tonight, dear Cancer, but while the period just before a New Moon is good for resting and reflecting, today’s energies are complicating and distracting. Ideally, you’ll end up seeing exactly what you need to let go of in order to go forward freer and more positive, and the energy of tonight’s New Moon helps you to do so. Today, you could discover that bringing up your thoughts, ideas, plans, and passions can meet with obstinacy or disapproval in others. You could feel blocked and vetoed in almost everything you do right now. If others are playing mind games with you, back off and refuse to be part of it. Be kind to yourself and avoid pushing something too hard. It’s important to avoid impulsive communications now. The coming week is powerful for getting back to a position of personal power.

Leo

You might want to gather all of your facts first before speaking on a matter today, dear Leo, as there is a tendency to speak too soon and for people to quickly jump on one another’s words or call people out. People you work with may be difficult today. You can be quite obsessed in your thinking about past matters or issues that cause you anxiety or possibly guilt. Entertain these thoughts, but avoid letting them take you over to the point that your interactions with others are tense. Arguments entered into today can reach stalemates. If you need to discuss something close to your heart, you might wait for a more open and accepting atmosphere to do so. You might also discover that keeping a project or idea to yourself is useful just for now. Issues, and possibly people, from the past can emerge. There can be a new piece of information that makes your mind race. Pay attention to what emerges today – what seems to push your buttons now – as these can be very revealing. Use restraint today and be patient. After tonight’s New Moon, you are in a better position to take action on a matter that requires letting go and healing.

Virgo

You can have strong ideas and experience powerful motivation regarding a certain plan today, dear Virgo, but there can be some blocks or opposition to contend with first. For some of you, there can be frustration with a lover, friend, or associate. Words can be sharp and possibly harsh, but if there is a rude awakening now, it can ultimately improve understanding. People or circumstances can challenge you to confront important, perhaps previously buried issues in your life. You could find that you’re dealing with pressures and tensions coming from others, or with thoughts bordering on the obsessive about matters that are sources of frustration or anger. The goal now should be purging. Remember that you are likely to be driven by instincts today, rather than reason or logic. Be kind to yourself by NOT thinking too much, too negatively, and too obsessively. Compose a wish list, as tonight’s New Moon occurs in your long-term happiness goals sector and brings new energy to your life.

Libra

Old, buried hurts can jump up at you today, dear Libra, and if you are not careful, they can be expressed in one way or another in your conversations with others. Secrets might be revealed, or previously hidden matters can come to light now that might be uncomfortable at first, but in the long run will push you towards the light. Stalemates can occur, so avoid pushing matters for your own mental health! Be forthright if you feel compelled to be, but do it sensitively today, as your words tend to have more impact and can be remembered for some time, and be especially mindful when speaking in public or professional arenas. You can have good ideas for the future, but reserve taking action on them until after the New Moon that occurs tonight. A fresh approach works best after this lunation. Before it, concentrate on letting go of outdated behaviors and attitudes.

Scorpio

Simple differences of opinion can quickly become complicated today, dear Scorpio. There can be quite a bit of defensiveness and hurt feelings when ideas are not adopted right away. Avoid getting caught up in all of this. There are no winners in arguments that don’t have any growth potential. You are sharp today, but there can be difficulty advancing your ideas or projects. You can be quick to defend something or express your opinions, but might be frustrated by others’ responses. You might feel provoked or cornered, but it’s best to rise above things by exercising self-control. It can be difficult to do today, but with a Balsamic Moon until tonight’s New Moon, it’s best to let go of attitudes and ideas that no longer serving you well. The New Moon tonight is an especially helpful one for energy levels, even if you might take a bit of time to really start feeling it. You can feel rejuvenated and ready for action.

Sagittarius 

Be convincing, but don’t be heavy-handed about it today, dear Sagittarius. There is no benefit in pushing your ideas on someone, especially when it comes to values and issues of sharing. If something feels very unfair, then you need to talk about it, but your choice of words and tone will be especially important now, so keep it light – it’s just that kind of day when people can take things entirely the wrong way. You might uncover a secret or pursue a line of research doggedly today, but it’s important to be kind to yourself as well – try not to overdo it. Alternatively, you could be faced with people who are trying to convince you of something today. There can be competing feelings in a relationship now and it can be difficult to make sense of what you and others want at the moment. The New Moon occurring tonight can help bring new, forward-looking energy to a relationship or to your conviction to improve your life.

Capricorn

You might be called to action today, dear Capricorn, or there could be an aggravation or push involving a partner. Others can push your buttons today. It’s a little too easy to get involved in an argument or standoff, as there is a tendency now to speak too quickly or harshly, and to be a little insensitive or stubborn. You might be acting provocatively, pushing others’ buttons as well, perhaps to see what kind of effect or hold you have on them. Try not to take the idea that someone has a different viewpoint than you as a personal affront. Before you bring up certain sensitive topics, consider whether the climate is actually right to do so. Chances are it isn’t. Channel extra energy into productive activities or into safe and moderate physical fitness. Your ideas can be stellar now. The New Moon occurring tonight launches a new cycle that helps you to start fresh in an important relationship.

Aquarius

You can be super-motivated to take care of challenging problems, to eliminate waste, or to become more skilled and efficient, dear Aquarius. However, you could feel that others are in your way, blocking your path, or are too overbearing or controlling. It’s very important to avoid harsh words today, as they can sting and can be remembered for far too long. Avoid overloading your plate or becoming unraveled over small flaws and problems. Conversations can really heat up with co-workers, or you could be revisiting old hurts. There’s a reason for this – perhaps it’s time to put those things behind you. What emerges now is revealing, and can point you in the right direction for healing. The New Moon tonight launches nice energy for beginning fresh, as well as for taking charge of your work, routines, and health.

Pisces

You can feel pressured to make a decision today, dear Pisces, or you could want to take action on an idea but might feel blocked. Try to avoid situations where people are trying to one-up others or attempting to get the upper hand. There can be a lot of this going on today. Friendships can be a touchy area. There might be a rude awakening, but something that clears your mind as to where you stand, which allows you to make better plans. People might be holding on too tightly to their point of view, and power trips may be the reason behind this. This kind of obstinacy doesn’t lead to compromise nor learning experiences, only unnecessary stress, so do your best to steer clear of it. The New Moon occurring tonight can wipe the slate clean, allowing you to restart or begin fresh in a friendship, romance, or creative project.
