The Shadow of Pluto Last Breath in Capricorn

What is your shadow?

Pluto transit in Capricorn since 2008 has brought to light the shadows of public figures and public institutions structures, as well as the shadows of our own life structures. 

What is your Pluto in Capricorn shadow? How successfully have you been at recognizing and healing your own personal shadow.

Here are some ideas according to your Rising Sign, and to some extent to your Sun Sign if you're older than 30:

CAPRICORN
You undermine yourself emotionally resisting your own power, doubting your own skills, or capacity to do what you want. Your partner, spouse or significant other in your life may manipulate you, be jealous, do things behind your back that infuriate you, so you discover your own power, and learn how to use it. Pluto and Saturn seem to weaken you so you find your own strength.
AQUARIUS
You may have to face your secret enemies, like addictions, shady dealings, unconscious psychological material, self undoing behaviour, family history 'baggage', past life unfinished business or skeletons in the closet that haunt you even in your dreams. Pluto and Saturn bring any of that to the surface so by resolving those issues you discover your power, and learn how to use it.
PISCES
In your social life, you may be facing friends, older relatives, or groups of people to which you belong that are trying to impose on you their ideas, refute your position, or obsessively persecute you for what you say or do. By reacting to those situations, you may discover your own creative power, and learn how to use it.
ARIES
You may have experienced power struggles with your boss because of your or his/her hidden motives. Also a father figure or external powerful force, like government authority, regulation or institution may be pushing your buttons. This way, Pluto incites the recognition and transformation of your own power to confront them and develop your own personal authority.
TAURUS
You have the opportunity to see raw and clear your faulty ethics. Some powerful spiritual teacher, or having access to eternal truths through higher studies, reading an inspirational book, or learning different lifestyles from people of other cultures creates an internal battle of ideologies. Pluto works slowly and runs deeply inside your consciousness to show you that real power lies on not letting your beliefs be in the way of accepting the truth, no matter how fearful you might be.
GEMINI
A profound crisis, traumatic events, financial misfortunes or criminal behaviour overpower you, and trigger your primal survival instincts. Also sharing financial resources with a partner or financial institution may disempower you so you can learn how to stand on your own feet. Sexual merging with your partner can also awake your fears of losing your own power. Pluto and Saturn present those situations to teach you how to conquer your fear and manage your own energies in relationships.
CANCER
Similar to Rising Capricorn because the opposition always involves relationships, through the manipulation, power struggles, obsessive compulsive and jealous behaviour of your life partner, you are forced to learn how to stand for yourself, defend your position and empower yourself. Pluto and Saturn present you with this person's behaviour to teach you how to conquer your fear to be you, and manage your own energies in relationships.
LEO
You may have an overpowering health issue, a challenging workplace or situation, or a daily schedule with which you have a hard time keeping up. Saturn and Pluto will scare you to death, literally, fear of death. You are forced to tap into your natural healing ability, or into your regenerating power, determination, and stamina to overcome the situation, or illness. This way you discover your own inner power to sustain your life and heal.
VIRGO
You may experience strong feelings and desire for someone who is not romantically available, feeling powerless in face of the impossible love. You may have a strong longing for a connection with your children that are separating from you for whatever reason, like in the empty nest syndrome. Outer forces may remove all possibility of enjoyment, or you may not be able to experience joy in your life. Saturn and Pluto make you fear loneliness so you learn to generate joy within your own soul.
LIBRA
You may be deprived of home and family life, which makes you fear for your safety, comfort and nurturance and feel abandoned. Pluto and Saturn gives you these experiences so you find those powers inside of yourself and learn how to provide security and wellbeing for yourself.
SCORPIO
Siblings, classmates, neighbors or just your immediate environment can present overwhelming influences that seem to crush your life force. Saturn and Pluto are trying to teach you that you don't need to surrender to what happens to you, and that you have the power to influence your environment and affect the lives of people with whom you relate every day.
SAGITTARIUS
Scarcity, personal financial instability, material deprivation, lack of life essentials to survive, and even hunger squeeze your life force energy to the point that you are compelled to work harder to be able to thrive. This way, Saturn and Pluto show you that you have the power within to stand up for yourself and be strongly independent.

October 2024 Critical Events for the USA - Decisive October 9

We are in between eclipses and have seen enough catastrophes already from fires, explosions, mad water, mad humans and a great boost to wars. However, October starts with a punch, the Annular Solar Eclipse at 10º♎️ 04’, with the Sun pretty close to USA Saturn. Americans can expect significant events already in regards, most probably, to the President (Sun).

However, the biggest event for the USA comes October 9 when Jupiter turns retrograde at 21º♊️20’, exactly conjunct the USA MARS!

This is a signature for an expansion/increase/boost (Jupiter) of aggression (Mars). It falls in the 7th Whole Sign House of associates/enemies. In the past, this transit coincided with the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor Attack on December 7, 1941. This time the transits are more complicated. The Jupiter Mars conjunction squares the natal USA Neptune! This may imply a subvert/covert attack, which may include or consist in a cyber-attack of sorts. Since Neptune is in the 10th house, the Executive/Head of State may be involved in some way. The attack may come from open enemies, or the USA may attack another country, or announce some direct implication in a war.

But, that’s not all. Not only is the USA having the Chiron return, but at the moment, Chiron squares the natal USA Mercury. This may indicate a painful conversation/ news/ announcement/ realization. Chiron in 5th WSH implies something wrong regarding the country’s diplomacy/diplomatic representatives or negotiations.

The strongest (tighter) aspect is the square from transiting Uranus retrograde to the natal USA Moon, from the 6th WSH (problems, military activity, conflicts) to the 3d house of communications. This may relate to unwelcome news for the American people regarding health problems, or war conflicts, open enemies, or other things going wrong.

Also, transiting Saturn in the 4th house in semi sextile to natal USA Pluto indicates internal problems in the country, like economic troubles, scarcity, some kind of hardship affecting the people.

Since the 4th WSH is opposite the 10th representing the opposition to the Executive. There have been indications of the President’s health weakening, and his authority being in question. The 4th house relates to the opposition party as well, and Saturn transiting it, indicates restrictions and adverse attitudes against the executive power or against the President per se.

In summary, I think, the month of October brings decisive moments for the USA that may compromise its peace, the economy, and the future in general. Just pay attention to the news, especially from alternative sources to mainstream in order to get an accurate picture of the current state of events.

North Node conjunctions with planets

February 1, 2025 conjunction with Venus @ 28º♓️09' (Cancer degree*)

February 7, 2025 conjunction with Neptune @ 28º♓️09'

March 1, 2025 conjunction Mercury @ 27º♓️24' (Gemini degree)

April 21, 2025 conjunction with Saturn @ 26º♓️50' (Taurus degree)

March 13, 2026 conjunction with Mars @ 8º♓️55' (Scorpio degree)

The Pisces North Node represents the most ethereal and subtle condition of human life. It promotes the development of one's spiritual journey towards enlightenment and emotional growth. For that reason, its influence could increase one's spiritual urges or, negatively, increase one's confusion, and submerge us in an ocean of delusion where reality becomes elusive. It will be easy to get lost and disoriented, especially if one's doesn't have a steady and sound spiritual practice.

It would be necessary to learn to be properly guided by spirit and intuition, because there is a risk of falling in the traps of dubious religious practices, sects or gurus that usually proliferate during this period. Caution is recommended because people are susceptible to suggestions, or unfounded illusions. In other words, be careful not to believe in flying pigs, or things too good to be true.

The veil with the so called 'other world' or 'great beyond' is blurred with the North Node in Pisces, but more so during the ingress when in conjunction with Neptune. It's difficult to distinguish what is what. There could be an increase ability to perceive spiritual things, especially through intuitive hints, however, with the need to use discernment. It's easy to self-hypnotize, or make oneself believe in things that are not proven to be real without understanding them.

North Node in Pisces calls for relaxation, retreat, and a peaceful environment. One will be more in tuned with one's instincts and intuitive hunches. So one's gut feelings may be stronger than normally and may feel the urge to follow them if not doubting them. A nice influence can make one understand things or learning the truth, without knowing how or the need for reasoning. It's common to download 'revelations'.

Feelings will soften. One may experience a heightened compassion, greater love for everybody and everything. That can potentially favor psychosomatic healing, or the predisposition to empathize with others or the collective suffering.

North Node in Pisces opens up boundaries. The personal aura is extremely permeable to everything in the environment. This may be emotionally overwhelming. There is a need to develop protection skills, like learning how to clean and remove foreign energy from the aura. However, there could be an increase in immune vulnerability which makes one prone to bugs, virus, bacteria & yeast. With the South Node is in Virgo, discernment can be lacking, and sound judgement be impaired. Anyway, it's important to make every effort to assess any situation and event by their facts, and people by their actions. It's easy to fall victim of another's 'victim' story.

These Signs Nodal axis may activate the victim/victimizer syndrome, as well as the healing journey. In fact they can combine in a way that the former can function as a psychological and emotional healing process. If one participates in a codependent relationship where one has assumed the caretaker role of someone who is otherwise perfectly able, the situation may escalate in negative ways. It's important to recognize any distortion of the notion of service to make sure one is not unnecessarily enabling an impairing dependence.

The North Node in Pisces will enhance inspiration in the heart and spirit of artists and creators. The fantastic world can manifest into wonderful music, amazing movies with breathtaking photography that stimulates burning emotions. AI contributes to an explosion of creativity in all forms of artistic expression that can be profoundly therapeutic.

At the mundane level, the collective takes precedence over the individuality. This means that one fallen feather from a bird in North America can be the original trigger of an earthquake in India. If you have ears to hear, listen. The globalization has reached such an extreme expression that an individual as well as one country cannot pretend to have any level of autonomy. Everything is interdependent if not codependent.

There will be an easy intuitive access to the collective unconscious. This allows individuals to understand those who are different. The whole world could benefit by the sharing of cultures and exchange of ideas in order to solve the real life problems (Virgo reflection) Humanity is facing.

On the negative side of things, fake news, conspiracy theories, scams, fraud, deceptions and extortion may proliferate. This is due to the mental vulnerability caused by letting go of discernment (South Node in Virgo).

South Node in Virgo

Planets conjunction with South Node in Virgo

Mars conjunction on July 21, 2025 @ 19º♓️38' (Libra degree)

Sun conjunction on September 10, 2025 @ 18º♓️20' (Virgo degree; extremely unfortunate degree*)

Mercury conjunction on September 12, 2025 @ 18º♓️3' (Virgo degree)

(Mercury cazimi on September 13, 2025 @ 20º♓️54')

Venus conjunction on October 4, 2025 @ 18º♓️14' (Virgo degree)

Behind were left the cooties. Virgo South Node lets go of worries about them, done with fears of contagion, done with precautions, masks and social distance. Nothing can convince people to care much about bugs, due to the lack of boundaries (especially after Saturn leaves Pisces). There may be reminiscences of the past pandemic, and other past health or healthcare issues. However, people will not take it seriously, may not acquiesce. Especially having Saturn in Pisces, because the authorities are not reliable and people has lost trust in them. Old information and recommendations are heard again, but they seem to come back from the time of the 'dinosaurs'.

Organization, schedules and order previously used don't work anymore in the present situation. On the contrary, with Pisces North Node, people may risk exposing themselves inadvertently, defiantly, or carelessly, again because boundaries are so blurry.

 

Another possibility is that focusing on hygiene, preventive measures, or any kind of prophylaxis may be a thing of the past. Some people (government institutions or healthcare regulations) may obsess about them, but they could not be effective any longer in face of new threats. Healthcare professionals may want to stick to conventional, and well proven methods of treatment without the same results. Regulations will probably either be eliminated or ignored (Saturn in Pisces with Neptune); people refuse control over them, and, instead, look for spiritual healing alternatives.

South Node in Virgo has mastered self-improvement efforts. It's tired of diets, fitness activities, tight schedules, organization of tasks, and all those efficient and perfectionist practices. The tendency is to let go of order and relax or embrace chaos, and the natural development of things. Even the Virgo inclination to identify what is wrong, and love for problem solving goes now down the South Node drain.

Since there is an inclination to empathy for the suffering of others, service efforts through methodic skillful work can contribute to compassionate charity service for the collective. Given that mass migration is overwhelming, due to wars and conflict promoted by the powers that be, now the governments of those powerful nations create obstacles, rules of law and other forceful measures to deport those already in their territory and deter others to migrate. Saturn in Pisces cohabitating with the Pisces Lunar Eclipses takes care of that 'business', at least until Saturn moves to Aries for good in 2026.

Saturn enters Aries from May 24, 2025 to Sep 1, 2025 and

from Feb 13, 2026 to Apr 12, 2028.

Saturn leaves Pisces May 24, 2025, but comes back from September 1, 2025 till February 13, 2026.

This means that Saturn is in Pisces during the eclipse seasons of  September/October 2024, March, 2025, and September 2025.

The Virgo ability to solve problems using facts, skills and accurate information can only be effective if used for one's spiritual evolution. World events may trigger a process of chaos that, in fact, promotes the development of spiritual healing for Humanity. The North Node in Pisces helps to tune into intuitive perception favoring a better understanding of others' needs. In turn, this empathetic approach contributes to more compassion for the suffering of others, an important switch from the North Node in Aries that made us focus on the individual, and selfish action.

The critical and practical traits of Virgo can favorably be applied in creative activities. The best way of expressing emotions and subconscious material would be with any form of art, but most especially, inspirational music, photography, and movies. This way of using the energy, could reveal itself very therapeutic for self and others when sharing the works of art.

If the South Node in Virgo manifests negatively, then one may get stuck in finding fault, criticising, judging, and requiring data. Whereas, if the North Node in Pisces shows up in negative ways, people would fall into escapist behaviors, refusing to accept the reality of things, disconnecting from reality, disillusionment, total lack of boundaries, codependence, and severe self-undoing.

Just remember that the Virgo/Pisces axis is associated with disease and healing, with imbalances and loss, with order and chaos. The South Node in Virgo makes it difficult to "separate the chaff from the wheat", in other words, have a sound discernment. The key is to learn how to balance both energies.

Virgo Pisces Rulership

It would be important to follow the planets that rule Virgo and Pisces, namely Mercury and Jupiter/Neptune.

Jupiter

When the Nodes ingress Virgo Pisces on January 1st, 2025, Jupiter is at 13º♊️13' Rx;

turns direct on February 3, 2025;

enters Cancer June 9, 2025 and goes up to the 25º♋️ where

will turn Rx on November 11, 2025;

turns direct again at 15º♋️ on March 11, 2026.

On July 1st, 2026, both Jupiter and the True Nodes are at 0º of respectively Leo and Pisces!

If you have placements in Pisces and Gemini, it would be useful to track Jupiter's travels. It will certainly show where there is growth, expansion and exploration opportunities or events.

Neptune

Neptune straddles between Pisces and Aries during the period of the Virgo Pisces Nodes, marking a time of transition and changes in those areas.

Neptune enters Aries March 31, 2025;

turns retrograde on July 4, 2025 at 2º♈️11';

joins Saturn with a 13' orb on July 12, 2025 right when Saturn stations Rx at 1º♈️56' and Neptune at 0º♈️15';

ingress back in Pisces October 22, 2025;

perfects sextile with Uranus on November 19, 2025 @ 29º♓️30' ;

turns direct on December 19, 2025 at 29º♓️22';

conjunct Saturn on February 20, 2026 at 0º♈️45';

Neptune exact sextile to Pluto occurs on July 25, 2026 at 4º♈️20' /4º♒️20', in tight 26' orb with Uranus.

If you have placements in this Pisces/Aries cusp, or both squares, and opposition, follow these transits, observe and correlate with the Saturn/Neptune archetype.

Mercury

For Mercury, pay attention to his ingresses in different Signs, and the shadow and retrograde/direct periods.

Mercury will retrograde in Sagittarius on November 2024. In 2025, he will also retrograde in Fire Signs.

The most interesting period is when his retrograde goes from 9º♈️ 35' on March 15, 2025 till April 7, 2025 at 26º♓️50'.

At the start of the shadow on March 1st, 2025, Mercury is conjunct Neptune and the North Node at 28º♓️;

when turning direct in April, Mercury joins Venus, Mars, and the North Node in Pisces!

If that is not enough, this period coincides with two eclipses on March 14 and 29.

Of course, you can order your astrological consultation with me ahead of time. It would be most important for you, especially if you have placements nearby that section of the sky or in square or opposition.

Sat Nam, thank you for your visit.

Remember January 12, 2020?

Remember January 12, 2020?

Ceres and Pluto in the Underworld

Remember January 12, 2020?

What some don’t remember is that the Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn was almost exact with Mercury, the Sun and… CERES! Remember how the authorities (Sun) empowered themselves & the institutional structures (Saturn, Pluto) were “taking care” (Ceres) of us in such a “motherly” way?

Ceres is obsessed in protecting her offspring, desperate looking for Persephone after she disappeared, or was kidnapped by Pluto, and trying to rescue her. It was not until Mercury went down to Hades that they were able to ‘negotiate’ Persephone's liberation.

Well, Ceres in Capricorn doesn’t do it for free. She has ambitions. But she organizes things, takes responsibility in nurturing, teaching people to be responsible and disciplined, gives them tools in order to succeed over the adversities brought about by Pluto and Saturn.

Ceres Pluto conjunction in Capricorn ‘may signify intense emotional crises brought about through the loss or separation of loved ones. Intense grief, sorrow, and depression my result’ says Demetra George. And regarding Ceres Saturn in Capricorn, the government institutions and their authorities took upon themselves to do everything for us (as parents overdo their care for their children?) because we were not ‘adult enough’ to take care of ourselves on our own.

But the other side of Ceres symbolism is that she ushers the dead to the other world. According to Demetra George in her book Asteroid Goddesses, “she governs our need to understand the death process and thereby resolve our fears about dying”

Finishing her 4-year cycle, Ceres is now back in Capricorn, squaring the Nodal Axis and approaching Pluto again. This time around, she will conjoin Pluto at 0º♒️24’ on December 8, 2024.

Ceres in Aquarius 'fosters self-determination and the recognition of the rights of others.' Taking care of people implies accepting eccentricities, originality, weirdness, and freedom. "This manifests as being a 'rebel without a cause'".

Ceres with Pluto in Aquarius could mean that during another certain crises of sorts, the science, technology or Internet ‘have to take care of us’ for our own good. Especially, the powers that be may take special interest in 'caring' for those who are not able to "gain inner control and self discipline to be able to handle the responsibilities of freedom." There may be deadly consequences for those who rebel against such ‘care’.

Pluto in Aquarius reminds me of the Reign of Terror in France in the late 1700's.

This time around Saturn and Uranus – Aquarius rulers- will be in Pisces and Taurus respectively in a sextile, and Uranus will trine the Pluto Ceres conjunction, so the whole context may not be that clear. Let’s wait and see.
