2012: Pluto in Capricorn
By Wolfstar
Several readers are curious about entering the Age of Aquarius: "Ultimately, we'll need an effective global government to oversee and enforce environmental regulations. This won't happen until Pluto works its way through Capricorn (the sign of government)." "When is that?" was the common refrain. The quick answer is that Pluto first enters Capricorn in 2008 and exits in 2024.
This interval presents an astrological window when individual sovereign nations and corporations will be challenged to relinquish control over their domains. This infers that only tremendous calamity such as global warming, regional war, or financial collapse will push sovereign entities to unite for a common purpose and collective security. Pluto in Capricorn provides the celestial motivation for the restructuring of governments.
Hard aspects from other outer planets to Pluto in Capricorn describe the most fundamental shifts. The most interesting one begins when Uranus enters Aries and squares Pluto from 2011 to 2013. This Uranus-Pluto contact ignites the revolutionary forces that began in the mid-1960s when Uranus and Pluto were conjunct. Coincidentally, it loosely corresponds to the apocalyptic end of the Mayan calendar in 2012.
As chronicled by Richard Tarnas in his book Cosmos and Psyche, the Uranus-Pluto cycle ushers in enormous historical changes that require humanity to radically expand its vision. The Uranus-Pluto conjunction in the 1960s fostered social and political upheaval across the planet, but hadn't yet the technological capacity to make it a united, global revolution. With the internet now in place, the Uranus-Pluto square in 2012 presents a different story.
