Pluto will turn direct @ 29 degrees Capricorn on October 11, 2024. Forty days later, the planet will leave the sign for Aquarius, not to return for around 240 years. I want to write something honest about this, rather than something generic.
While I suffered tremendously and secretly for the most part, with Pluto transiting my 12th house, I can’t say I did not enjoy this transit on some level. I don’t expect anyone to share my feelings. I’m hoping that putting this out here will encourage people to reflect on this on a level other than, “don’t let the door hit you on your way out, beeotch!”
Pluto in Capricorn represents the deepest, darkest depression there is. Jupiter types want to experience everything. Pluto types are into extremes. Point being, some recognize, being taken *there is inherently what we want. Even if you don’t relater, whoever you are, you’ve survived this and you have a gain, somewhere. If nothing else, it’s the lift you’ll get when this ordeal is really truly, over!
Personally, this transit has left me, fearless and deeply wise. Not that I’d have chose this if I had the option! But it’s been near fifteen years, working in a dirty grave. Better have learned something.
I no longer worry about anything trivial and most things are in fact, trivial. I also know I can process any loss.
I know I can support and guide (Capricorn) a person who has been wiped out (Pluto). This is very important to me, personally, as I don’t like feeling helpless, especially when someone is hurting and I’m on the scene.
I also know what deep commitment is and what it feels like to be in this state. I will die on my side of the line, basically. The boundaries I place on myself at deep.
I’ve also overcome my greatest fear, by having it manifest!
How do you feel about your experience with Pluto transiting Capricorn? What other things come to mind? It’s affect on the collective, for example. Can we get a conversation going?
With Pluto´s ingress in Capricorn, I went from an independent person to a mother-of-two who had to work full-time (sometimes two jobs) to put food on the table. I was exhausted from day one, my daily existence consisting of an endless series of tasks and jobs, leaving no place for a breather. I got into power struggles with bosses, co-workers (many of them childless and having no idea what it was like to juggle small kids and full-time work) and, later, school institutions as my son started showing signs of ADHD and oppositional behaviour. He´s what´s sometimes called a “spirited child” and raising him has been the hardest work of all, bringing me to the point of almost total exhaustion. In the process, I´ve had some accomplishments and moments of joy with my kids, but most of it has been, simply, endless toil. I´m Cap AC and late Aries Sun. But, I´m still here, stronger than ever, and potentially looking forward to the intensity easing and getting some well-deserved rest 🙂 In terms of social trends, I went from an apolitical person to someone acutely aware of the power abuses by our elites and developed some anti-establishment views. I started to write for an independent journal and have had many debates with my students (I´m a teacher) about the current situation in the world and how they can make a difference. My natal Pluto and Uranus are in the 9th house.
This was a personal moon-pluto transit for me. In fact, it make it a double moon-pluto transit, seeing as how pluto crossed my IC and then my moon, and a whole Cap stellium.
What can I say? It took up my almost entire teenage and first big chunk of adulthood years, almost 15/20 years, I think? I grew up with it. I had a great time and some terrible times, & I’m grateful to be alive at the end. Mostly I am surprised at my scary efficiency of processing and limiting loss…of any size that come my way. And that eventually, I can more than endure; I can thrive even. Young me would’ve fainted! I do feel like a proper adult now I guess.
