I heard the other day that astrologically speaking we are nearing the end of a period in which Pluto is traveling through Sagittarius causing a time of extremes. These two astrological entities reacting with each other bring with them a time that is “compulsively expansive and optimistic” with religious, social and political upheaval; a time when things shift from one extreme to the other quickly. During this time it is said there is a “breakdown” where things that are no longer of use are done away with and replaced by things that are useful. I’m not all that “into” astrology but it does kinda seem like the way things are.

The time of Pluto in Sagittarius is almost over. Supposedly on January 25 Pluto will enter Capricorn and so say the astrologers we will enter a time where we will contract and solidify. “While in Capricorn, Pluto will demand that the structures that secure our lives have a strong foundation in practicality, and any structure that has been weakened through irrational and unrealistic practices will be forced to transform itself in one way or another”*. This sounds good but the last time Pluto was in Capricorn there was a lot of war including the US revolutionary war.

Being a Capricorn myself I don’t “believe” in astrology, everything mentioned can be explained in a million different ways I merely find this interesting.
