The Basic Astrological Concepts behind Pluto in Capricorn

At its very worst, Pluto rules: Annihilation, Assassination, Atrocities, Autocrats, Catastrophes, Corruption, Criminals, Decadence, Destruction, Espionage, Hidden Forces, Massacres, Leaders of Large Organizations, Petroleum, Plagues, Rape, Revolution, the Underworld.

Capricorn rules: Big Business, Churches including the Roman Catholic Church, the Civil Service, Spy Agencies, Government, Government Officials, Real Estate.

If one combines the worst characterists of Pluto and Capricorn together, there is good reason to be concerned with what may happen in the World in the next fifteen years as Pluto transits through Capricorn!

Lets take a look and see whether Pluto really effects  life on Earth. Pluto was discovered in 1930 during the Great Depression. Around this time fascism began to take hold in Germany, Italy and Japan which led to World War Two and the deaths of possibly 60 million people. The incredible power of Pluto is mirrored in the events taking place at the time it was discovered.
During the twentieth century some 240 million people were killed in wars. Within 15 years of Pluto’s discovery Man had developed the Atomic Bomb. He now had the potential to annihilate (Pluto) life on Earth.

Pluto enters Cancer, World War One begins
On 28 July 1914, just three months after Pluto finally entered into Cancer (Sept 1912 to May 1914) World War I began. Some 20 million people perished. The German and Russian monarchies were destroyed forever. Families and social structures (Cancer) were torn apart and destroyed (Pluto) by a war fought on an unimaginable scale (Pluto), where 100,000 men could be killed a day, every day, for years.

Pluto enters Leo, World War Two begins
On 01 September 1939, just three months after Pluto finally entered Leo (Oct 1937 to Jun 1939) World War II began. Some 60 million people perished. Pluto finally left Leo in June 1958. In this time TWO Superpowers (Leo) arose, the USA and the Soviet Union. They beat their chests like lions (Leo), threatening each other with annihilation (Pluto). Their power was based on the fact that they both had nuclear weapons (Pluto). The Cold World between these mighty countries threatened the world with a nuclear war, annihilation.

Pluto enters Virgo
Pluto was in Virgo between 1957 and 1971. Virgo rules work. Heavy manual work became replaced by machinery. Farms became automated, as animals lived their lives in feed-lots. The Pill meant women could have sex (Pluto) without getting pregnant.

Pluto enters Libra
Between 1971 and 1983 Pluto was in Libra. Libra rules marriage. Divorce law changes around the world made marriage (Libra) an easy thing to escape from. Women divorced (Libra) themselves from being dependant on men, as the Feminist Movement went mad. Perhaps the women born in this time have serious issues with the concept of marriage?

Pluto enters Scorpio
From 1983 to 1994 Pluto was in Scorpio, the ruler of sex. AIDS reared its ugly head, so that the most basic of human instincts, having sex with someone else, could kill (Scorpio) you.                                                                                                            

Pluto enters Sagittarius
Between 1995 and 2007 Pluto was in Sagittarius, the ruler of religion. The religious lunatics of the world, led by USA President George W Bush, emerged from their holes, leading the moderate, naive peoples of the world into a “fight to the death” (Pluto) on behalf of their God (Sagittarius). Religious fanatics of any colour should NEVER be allowed to control governments, because when they do, they go to war in an attempt to annihilate (Pluto) those who have different religious beliefs (Sagittarius). The religious (Sagittarius) fanatics (Pluto) gained too much power (Pluto) in this time.

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN

25 January 2008 to 23 March 2023

To be able to understand the future, one must study the past. So I researched the major world events for the last 2000 years when Pluto was in Capricorn. They are shown in detail at the bottom of this article. This is what I believe is possible to take place in the World between 2008 and 2023, as Pluto slowly transits (travels) through the Zodiac sign of Capricorn.

Massive popular revolts are likely to occur in countries, that will shake the very foundations of government and power of those countries. 

The Christian Church will further fracture. The Power and Influence of the Roman Catholic Church, and every other church around the world, will be greatly diminished. Furthermore, laws strictly limiting the power of Churches will be written.  

There is every chance of major conflicts breaking out between countries, where one conquers the other.              

There will be a Peoples Revolution against Big Business and the way in which Governments function. Laws will be written to control the power of BIG business.

A major Revolution of Independence is likely, just like the USA conducted against Britain. It will succeed.

The peoples of the World have had enough of religious fanatics in power. When the hate filled, religious lunatics, like George W Bush finally leave, or are forced from office as they will be, it would be expected that there is good chance of reconciliation between Christian and Moslem nations. Unfortunately religious persecution will explode during this time. 

There is every chance of a pandemic capable of killing off hundreds of millions of people between 2008 and 2023. It has happened before, and it WILL happen again. It seems that wars, natural disasters and epidemics are the only way the population of the World can be controlled. I have predicted a major Chinese catastophe taking place in the next five years. 

A massive volcanic eruption, possibly in January 2020, causing global climate change for several years is possible. If not, massive, devastating earthquake activity is possible, as are tsunamis.  Global climate change shocks will become apparent between 2008 and 2023.

Some of the greatest Empires in history were born or destroyed with Pluto in Capricorn. A great country will be formed or will begin to crumble into dust during this time. Also some of the great conquerors, like William the Conqueror and Napoleon, were born in this time. So a warrior leader with gigantic power will be born in this time.                                                                                                         

The greatest explorers in history set out with Pluto in Capricorn. Last time it was James Cook, The time before that it was Magellan. This time another great explorer will write his name into history before 2023.
