For the Week of January 31, 2008

The Aquarium Age is a report on the general astrological patterns of the coming week for all signs, not just Aquariums.

Pluto in Capricorn, Part One

Beginner’s mind would be the wisest way to approach daily life this week, and the next several weeks. Pluto just entered Capricorn on January 25, which means we’re at the very tiniest, most minuscule start of an entirely new huge astrological cycle. And while much has been said by some and will be said others about the danger that lies ahead, if you take the time to really feel the air, it is possible to separate anxiety from excitement, and to sense the vital potential of what lies ahead. A potential that is best met with openness, enthusiasm, and as few preconceptions as possible—as Suzuki Roshi once wrote: “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities. In the expert’s mind there are few.” So despite the stock market rumblings and the continuing ever-present threat of war, and the Mayan calendar, which has everyone’s apocalyptic g-spot quivering with anticipation, this column is going to try to focus on what’s positive about Pluto in Capricorn. Don’t worry—I haven’t succumbed to denial; I know I’m talking about Pluto, symbol of the shadow and guide of the underworld. Yes, there will be trials and tribulations over the course of the next fifteen years, but there is also every indication that progress can be made. And one of the ways to facilitate that progress is to keep an open mind and open heart about the future.

“Revolution” is the best word to describe the potential inherent in Pluto’s cycle through Capricorn. Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign—it thrives on doing.

2. Thanks, Katty...I really like the idea of cultivating "beginner's mind"

as Pluto goes into Capricorn. I've been looking forward to this period for quite a while; I'm SO hopeful that we'll see a true new age by the time it's done. With all we've been through in these last eight years, it can be easy to dwell on limitations rather than possibilities.

And on a personal level, Pluto will be hitting my Mercury, Desc and Sun in the next 2 years and one thing I've learned is you don't try to get in Pluto's way. :) I'm thinking beginner's mind will be a good position to take with regard to my life as well.

6. a big Pluto fan?

then you're gonna love me! Pluto is currently in a T-square with my Sun/North Node/Chiron and Jupiter/Uranus, 00 and 02 Aries and 01 and 02 Libra respectively. And what's on the horizon? A possible re-location to Europe and a move and play both going into production.

:crazy: :hide: :yoiks:

My poor Taurus "loves security and the comforts of home" Moon doesn't know WHAT to do!

7. nice! those T-sqs really make us work it all out-sink or swim!

especially with pluto-hard to run or hide. sounds very good-awww Taurus moon, eventually you can settle and enjoy it :) Pluto is moving into a conjunction with my natal Moon in the 8th house, lordy + my lunar return in Cap - a massive moon/pluto hit...

3. Come the revolution...

Will we be thanking Capricorn? Is the fault within our stars or within ourselves? If there's going to be revolution, let it be a revolution of our own making, and not one that is manufactured for us, marketed to us, and implemented before we know what hit us.

I am ready. I look at the corruption around me and I know it is time for something big to change. I look at what we do to the planet and I know it is time for something big to change.

Revolution is a word that frightens many people. But the Earth undergoes a revolution every day. It doesn't have to mean total upheaval, it doesn't have to be frightening. It's just a change from dark to light. I'm very ready for that.

4. What I've read around the net suggests that a country tries on different "outfits" as it

decides what it wants to try next. Right now we're trying deceit and domination and elements of sadism.

One can only hope that it becomes personally inconvenient for enough people, that their desire to try something lighter might effect the nation overall.
