ATTENTION CAPRICORNS BORN BETWEEN 12/26-12/30

For all Capricorns born between 12/26 - 12/30 of any given year:

Pluto is conjunct your sun from January through August of 2011. You can expect many changes in your life this year. Pluto is a planet (yes, astrologers still respect Pluto as a planet) of great transition. Therefore you will be experiencing major transition in your life. You may think the transition or change is sudden or unexpected but I've found these changes were waiting there to happen but you ignored the signals or were afraid of looking at them.

It's like a volcano with a village built around it. The villagers look up at the volcanic mountain everyday but don't pay much attention to it. It's always there, harmless. They know there's great turbulence going on inside and sometimes they even hear some rumblings and watch a few boulders tumble down but when they wake the next day, it seems to have settled down so they continue to ignore it. Until one day it erupts.

When Pluto conjuncts your sun, you may experience a major eruption in your life but, if you are honest with yourself, you've expected or suspected this may happen for a long time. Sometimes these events are difficult even life changing. I've seen people totally change their careers, loose their money, re-invent themselves,  become ill, get divorced, even experience the death of someone around them.

Pay attention to the undercurrent of feelings you've been experiencing for a long time. (the volcano). Do you dislike your career and want to change? Have you been worrying about your investment portfolio and wondering if you should look into it? Have you felt your life path does not represent who you really are now? Have you been feeling some complaints in your body but haven't gone to a doctor? Do you feel your partner is not happy but you're afraid to ask? Are you watching someone around you not take good care of him/herself?

Pay attention to these warning signals. Pluto is letting you know where you need to (or will) experience transition in your life this year. Don't keep your head buried in the sand. Pluto is a fearless investigator. Begin to investigate these troublesome areas of your life.  Take action to redirect your life path, go to the doctor for a complete physical, ask your partner if he/she has a problem with the relationship.

Pluto is all about power. You have tremendous power around you now to make wonderful, transforming changes in your life! Be aware that when you ask the questions you have been afraid to ask for a long time, you must be prepared to accept any changes that come to you with the answers. Pluto is fearless and you can be fearless now too. Take control of your life. Make your life truly yours!  Areas of your life will be changing now. Choose the changes you want!

And then also keep in mind another Pluto message. Sometimes you need to simply trust the universe. Don't waste all your energy trying to hold on to something or someone when it's really in your best interest for this to leave your life. If you are struggling to stay in control and only exhausting yourself...perhaps now is the time for you to simply let go and let the powers of the universe pick you up and take you where you need to be. 

This is a time of great opportunity for you. Change may be scary at times but it's also the best way for you to grow.

Some of my clients may already know this story. I've repeated it many times in my readings. But it's a clear example of Pluto-power.

I was watching TV years ago and there was footage of a group of people in a raft enjoying the thrill of riding down rapid waters. Their friends were filming it from the shore. All of a sudden the raft flipped over and the adventurers all fell into the white water. One by one they surfaced and held on to the overturned raft. Suddenly, one woman let go and was carried down about 100 yards where she popped up again and grabbed onto a tree branch. The friends on shore ran to her and pulled her ashore. The other boaters saw what happened and they also let go of the raft and were all safely pulled ashore....except one woman who continued to hold on. Now, all the people on shore were begging her to let go but she refused. Her fear wouldn't allow her to let go of what she felt was her power until finally she became so exhausted, her hands slipped from the raft and she too was successfully pulled ashore.  Of course, me being a zany astrologer, I kept yelling at the TV screen..."Let go. It's a Pluto transition. Trust the waves of the Universe." (My children still refuse to watch television with me and that was over twenty years ago).

Take charge or your life. Decide for yourself what you want out of your life at this time. Investigate anything you feel needs to be looked at. Know that even if things don't seem to be turning out the way you planned them, this transition is beneficial to you. And, don't be afraid to trust the powers even greater than yourself.  Pluto is on shore ready to pick you up from any troubling waters.
