Yesterday, Pluto (still a factor in astrological considerations) stationed direct. What this means is that Pluto appeared to reverse it's direction in the sky beginning on April 9, 2011 and now, since September 16, appears to move forward.
Pluto is travelling through Capricorn currently, a sign associated with authority and achievement, since January 25, 2008. Pluto will remain in Capricorn for the next 13 years, until January 21, 2024.
Pluto symbolizes transformation, rebirth and, in Evolutionary Astrology, the soul. In Capricorn, on a global scale, Pluto in Capricorn suggests an upturning of existing power structures and in some quarters, a return to the power of the feminine, of nourishing life into creation.
On a more personal level, wherever you have Capricorn, Libra, Cancer or Aries in your chart in the early degrees (Capricorn sun born in December, for example - Libra sun born in September and so on), it is likely that you've experienced stressful change. While Pluto was retrograde, the focus of transformative energy was turned inward. Now that Pluto is direct, that transformation is coming back with vigor.
So, what to do? The truth is that the key to a Pluto transit is surrender. You can still be productive, still embrace your own power. When you are overwhelmed by events outside of your control, it will help if you acknowledge it. Try to deepen your compassion for yourself. This is a transformative time, which you will see in retrospect.
In the chart for Pluto staion direct, a few factors stand out. Venus is in Libra, suggesting strong desire and opposes Uranus, exaggerating that desire. It's possible that the energy we've needed to move on goals is now available. With the Moon and Jupiter fairly close together, there could be exaggerating feelings. Because of the available energy and the inclination to blow things out of proportion, it would be an advantage to observe before acting in the next few weeks.
