For the week of October 7th thru the 14th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:

Aries

For the 14 years that Pluto has been in Capricorn, it has been working hard to transform your life and destiny. Now that Pluto is stationing direct on the 8th of October, it is positioned to gradually transition out of Capricorn and into Aquarius by 2024. It is in these last few degrees of a sign that we see the ramifications, results and rewards of major decisions and turning points that have been made since it first entered this sign 14 years ago. Essentially what Pluto was challenging you to do was to take greater control of your life choices. This could have even involved ending a career path, or going in a whole new direction in order to pursue a calling. One thing that would have become evident is the importance of making sure that your goals are your own. Not what others tell you you should do, or what you are supposed to be doing, but what is right for you. There may have been some detours along the way, but all with the intention of showing you where your true destiny lies, and not settling for anything less.

Taurus

Pluto is a very slow moving planet. It first entered Capricorn in 2008. And now that Pluto is stationing direct on the 8th of October, Pluto will be moving between the last degrees of Capricorn and early Aquarius through 2024. While Pluto has and will be tying up the last few degrees of Capricorn, it has literally been changing the way you see the world. This could have come about through a series of events that have shown you that what you previously believed to be true, is perhaps no longer valid. And you have learned this, not necessarily by studying books, or having deep theoretical and existential discussions on politics, philosophy and life, but primarily through what you have been seeing and experiencing first hand. This is where the rubber meets the road. Where all that you believe to be true is being put to the test. And as a result of what you experience, who you meet, what you see, and finally what you know first hand, you reach a whole new level of knowledge and experience. And you will never be able to un-see it again. 

Gemini

Pluto has been in its true role of transformative change for Gemini, ever since it first entered Capricorn in 2008. Pluto is a planet of extremes, and while in Capricorn is likely to have brought you at least one major catalytic event that would have changed your life. This weekend, Pluto is stationing for its direct phase, and to complete its transit through the last degrees of Capricorn. This is when you see the consequences and the rewards for all of the decisions made over the past 14 years so far. There may have been some grandiose endings. And in the process all sorts of things were disclosed and brought out into the open, that had previously been marinating beneath the surface. But Pluto was also ushering in and preparing the ground for a new phase in your life. And for that you were given tools to heal, reinvent and rebuild your life. No mean feat when you realize all that was involved in getting you to this point. 

Cancer

Pluto does its work of transformative reconditioning through our closest relationships when it transits the opposite sign of your Sun or Ascendant. It can sometimes be quite intense. Pluto gathered his tribe while it ventured through Capricorn: the deeply brooding, the complicated, the smothering, and those that abandon and betray. But Pluto also gathered those of his tribe who were there to act as a catalyst, capable of changing your life and your perspective in ways that you might not have thought possible. Now that Pluto is stationing for its direct phase this weekend, it is poised to make its transit through the last degrees of Capricorn, and dip its toes into the sign of Aquarius. This is when we will see both the consequences and the rewards for the major decisions you have made in your relationships with others since it first entered Capricorn 14 years ago. And now it is all beginning to come together. 

Leo

During the 15 years that Pluto has been and will be in Capricorn Leo has most likely experienced profound and transformative experiences through areas in their lives that have to do with their work, and their physical health and well-being. Major decisions were having to be made. And now that Pluto is stationing direct and about to move through the last degrees of Capricorn, you will see both the rewards and consequences of having made these decisions. One thing that can occur with Pluto here in this sign, is the realization and accumulation of a bucketload of knowledge and data on certain topics, particularly those concerning your work, or supporting your health and well-being, that is incomparable. This knowledge was hard won! And much of it was learned through personal experience. One thing that could also have become apparent, is that when you are passionate about what you do, and what you have to offer others it no longer feels like work. It feels like you are making an offering. 

Virgo

For the duration that Pluto has been in Capricorn, it has been redefining some of the more intimate areas of your life. Since 2008, all those that you love and are in your care, including romantic partners, children, the furry brethren, and all that you hold so dear, have had some sort of hand in transforming your life. We come face to face with all the complicated feelings, the passions and the desires that these relationships hold. Some bringing you to your knees, others so bonded to you on these inner psychic planes that you can’t imagine your life without them. And so it is also with your own inner passions, your need to express that which lay buried deep in your soul. Those moments of soulfully creative expression. All these. And despite this, even the most complicated parts of Pluto being in Capricorn, were deeply therapuetic and healing and life reaffirming. And freeing. And the consequences and rewards, the losses and the gains, will be even more appreciated as Pluto wends its way through the final degrees of the sign. An era in your life is now gradually drawing to a close, and we are all the better for having experienced it with you. 

Libra

Pluto is stationing direct on Saturday, and as it does so it is preparing to tie up all of the loose ends of its transit through the sign of Capricorn. During the 15 years that Pluto has been in Capricorn, Libra has been unearthing and revealing, and rewriting the stories of the past. And now that it is going to be wending its way through the very last degrees of the sign, Libra will be gratefully unloading the heavy baggage of the past behind them. Since 2008 Pluto has been digging up this past, and strewing all of its skeletons all over the yard and the sidewalk for everyone to see. But along with the betrayals, the fears and the dysfunction, some awesome discoveries were also made. For what were also being unearthed are all the gifts, the talents, and the legacies passed down through the ancestors, allowing you to learn from their mistakes, but also their achievements. Some ties may have been broken within your own tribe, but others were further deepened and strengthened. And now that Pluto is making its way through these final degrees you will see the rewards and value of having done so. 

Scorpio

During the 15 years that Pluto has been in Capricorn, Scorpio has been digging deep down within the labyrinthine catacombs of their own minds. And as a consequence arriving at some deep realizations about themselves personally, and life in general. Scorpio is already deeply perceptive. Pluto was just adding this additional layer of self-realization into the mix. As a result you may have found your everyday life riddled with heavier, more complex topics, as you were striving to make what you know more conscious. Secrets were revealed. Truths admitted. And as a result of the mysteries being solved, and the puzzles figured out, hopefully a much deeper understanding of yourself, and the world was achieved. As Pluto is now stationing direct, it is poised to make its way through the last few degrees of the sign of Capricorn. And as it does so it will be tying up a few of the loose ends along the way. And in this way you will begin to appreciate the profundity of all that you have learned and witnessed over the past 15 years. 

Sagittarius

It can sometimes happen during the years when Pluto is in the sign following yours that you can see your whole financial picture and self-worth go through a tremendous overhaul. Heavy losses can be followed by a gradual rebuilding, consolidation and reprioritizing. Or vice versa. Either way, some major decisions about your financial future were needing to be made that could have had vast repercussions. But one thing that is likely, is that by the time that Pluto leaves the sign of Capricorn, your financial portfolio will be in a vastly different state than it was in 2008. Now that Pluto is stationing direct this weekend, it will be poised to work its way through the very last degrees of the sign of Capricorn. For some there will come the realization that material things don’t quite have the same hold that they used to. For others they will be even more important than ever. But once Pluto has tied up all the threads of the Pluto in Capricorn era, you will begin to see both the consequences and rewards of the decisions made over the past 15 years. 

Capricorn

For the past 14 years that Pluto has been in Capricorn, your life has likely been through some sort of major overhaul. To embrace Pluto is to also embrace a profound transformation in your life when it transits through your sign. This could even feel like the end of an old way of life, and the rebuilding of a new one out of what remains. Like a metaphorical rebirth, many a Capricorn has been through a lot during the Pluto in Capricorn era. It is not yet quite through. But now that Pluto is stationing for its last hurrah through the final degrees of your sign, those of you born in the earlier degrees will see some of the consequences and rewards of major decisions and changes made since 2008. Those of you in the last few degrees of Capricorn, or were born between January 14th and the 20th, will continue to ride the Pluto wave. And much like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, will also find their lives transformed. Working with Pluto is hard work, for it does nothing less than force you to face some hard truths. But by working through these you also discover what it means to be empowered in such a way, to be able to fully take hold of the reins of your life.

Aquarius

For the 15 years that Pluto has been wending its way through the sign of Capricorn, Aquarius has seen all sorts of wraiths and demons emerging out of the deepest darkest recesses of their lives. Some emerged out of the past, like the ghosts they were, taunting and nagging, and sometimes even wreaking havoc. Hopefully you were able to send some of these demons, wraiths and ghosts on their way. Releasing the past is not always easy. But you must if Pluto is to have its way. As it makes its ways towards your sign over the next few years, it is trying to prepare you for a whole new way of being. But in order to be reborn out of the ashes of what once was, you will need to first open the catacombs and release that which binds you to the past. You were being challenged with achieving some sort of healing and wholeness over the past 15 years. And the more successful you have been, the more prepared you will be as Pluto enters your sign over the next few years. A new dawn awaits. And your life will never be quite the same again. 

Pisces

As Pluto was winding its way through the sign of Capricorn these many years, Pisces has been navigating the profound idea that there is a place for you. While in Capricorn you’ve been navigating the complicated intricacies of feeling like something of an outsider, and not quite fitting in. Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008, and now that Pluto will be stationing direct this weekend, it will be poised to wend its way through the final degrees of this sign. And as it does so it will be tying up the loosed ends of our Pluto in Capricorn experience. And for Pisces those loose ends will be within the associations and groups within which you travel. Many of these have already been transformed over the past 15 years. Breaks were made, while other ties and associations were further deepened. And in the process you came face to face with your destiny. As a result, now that Pluto will be direct again, you will see the results and ramifications of having done so, and the rewards for all of the experiences you have had as a result. And part of that was helping you to understand your true place to be.
