Article: Pluto Transformational Times and Generations
Does the thought of change put a smile, grimace, or frown on your face? Often it depends on the generation you resonate with based on age or the group you relate with most closely. Sometimes it’s a challenge for us to see good opportunities ahead while we’re in the midst of highly transitional times. Astrology can provide us with insights about the nature of change.
Outer planets are harbingers of major change because they move very slowly and therefore take a long time (years) to travel through a single zodiac sign, which creates a long term trend. Generational themes are created by the movement and timing of Outer Planets. When these planets change signs, it creates a new generational influence for people born during that passage. There are a lot of Outer planets but the current one in the midst of such change is Pluto, which is associated with dramatic life change. Heliocentric Pluto entered Sagittarius 11 Sep 1995 :: Gecocentric Pluto entered Sagittarius 10 Nov 1995. Either way you look at it, babies born during those years have Pluto in the sign of Sagittarius in their birth charts. These young people, are a sign of those times.
It takes Pluto about 248 years to make it’s way around the entire zodiac so this is a planet that stays in a sign for about 13-16 years. Let’s take a look at the most recent transitional times when Pluto changed agenda, for clues about personal and cultural trends ahead. And if you are feeling a need for comfort, nurturing and security during changing times, try embracing the Earth and find ways to remain grounded such as gardening, healthy home cooking, DIY projects, creative projects, nature walks, hiking, swimming, working with stone, energy work with gemstones, and wood crafts, etc. Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign with much to offer in the years ahead.
