Astrology-Based Tip By Elsa P: Thriving With Pluto In Capricorn, 2008, 2009, 2010 etc.
My eye on the sky
Stumbling on a few things today… they might help some of you. These things come up in conversation or in consultations and I realize they have wide application.
For one thing, it is emerging that it’s very helpful to think in terms of “generations” when it comes to coping with and assimilating the meaning of Pluto changing signs. Pluto is considered a generational planet. The Pluto in Leo generation, Pluto in Virgo generation… Pluto in Scorpio generation, etc.
I mentioned the other day that babies being born now with Pluto in Capricorn have a very different flavor then those born with Pluto in Sagittarius. With Pluto in Sagittarius the collective was very upbeat. Everything, up, up, up! The stock market goes where? Up! The gross ticket sales for a movie? Up! Book sales (er… Harry Potter) – UP! Federal deficit? UP! Up, up, up and up and babies born during this time carry this energy (this optimism) subconsciously. So what about the babies being born now?
Babies born with Pluto in Capricorn will carry the fear of the collective and this should not be assumed to be bad. It’s only energy and I always say, energy is NEUTRAL until directed. But you see the dramatic shift and each of us has gone through the same dramatic shift over the last couple months so what can you do about it?
I find myself advising clients to recognize they have entered a new generation and adjust accordingly. The way it WAS is simply not the way is IS so how can you make hay in this new climate and these new conditions? Because check this:
So many things are dead. They are dead, done like dinner, dead as a doornail and there is no use trying to resurrect them. It’s not like I’m saying, you can’t continue to live in the 90′s. I am saying you can’t live in 2007 anymore. Try but it wont work!
The people and things that were popular then are just not going to cut it anymore. Does anyone care about Paris Hilton anymore? I told you in May, 2007.
This means you’ve got to change your game and I am finding that thinking in terms of a new generation is very helpful. You’re aren’t going to put on a poodle skirt are you? Dress like the women in Dallas?
Trying to maintain the 2007 status quo is just as foolhardy and I don’t care how attached you are to that era. We are in a new one now and setting yourself up to thrive in the new circumstances seems both prudent and inspired.
Who can relate?

Oh Elsa, how funny that you mention 2007 specifically because these last few months, well, I’ve been wishing I was in 2007, again!!!!
I think it was the best year I’ve ever had.
I was newly married, new car, got promoted twice…. travelled lots, etc etc etc. The year was just filled with optimism, hope, abundance…
Now I am in the middle of a divorce that I wish I could take back, unemployed, carless…
But, I guess maybe I just had to get rid of everything permanent in my life in order to really enter a new era of change… and growth?
I’ve been trying to hold on to the past, though I think deep inside what I am going through now is teaching me valuable lessons I needed to learn and will lead to me living a more genuine, loving life.
oh this is where am at so deeply and completely. It was only my pluto square, but the combination of the move to capricorn and that and baby the past is past. There is nothing left. Everyday I am grateful my children are alive, because that is all that is left. The old world is OVER.
Hell I wish it was back in April hardee har har.
I can relate! I keep wanting to rub my eyes and say “we’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto!” What an amazing thing to witness. I remember the feeling when Pluto moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius, but I didn’t know the astrology at the time, so it’s really exciting to be here and feel this (on an angle).
So, does anybody have any concrete ideas about how they plan to accept and move forward? I’d love to hear.
“Concrete” and “plan” – 2 Capricorn words if there ever were. I think you’re on track, donederin!
I have what feels like one hell of a Capricorn stellium (Neptune, Jupiter, Venus, & Mercury) in my birth chart, I guess there’s no hiding it!
my comment (Mercury) must have gone away to die (Pluto)!
I never thought of it that way! Straying off topic, no wonder I love to talk (mercury) openly and frankly (capricorn w/ the public deal going on) about Venus issues…
this makes perfect sense…there was such optimism for us to sell our house late 2007, so much so we moved to a rental. and now we’re back in the old house! during the interim there was a gas leak and the pipes need to be replaced, which we can’t afford right now. we tried to refinance and the assessor says the house is unsaleable. oh, and i had a baby (who’s got moon c. saturn), talk about concretizing! saturn’s now in my 4th house…
I’ve loved this blog recently. I haven’t been able to follow very faithfully, but started reading it about a year ago. I am beginning to “get it,” to “get Elsa,” that is, I guess.
Anyway, this post feels very right. Unfortunately, and misanthropically, I’ve been eagerly awaiting, since the late nineties the demise of current youth trends and fashions (not that I think they’re all bad, I’ve grown used to some of them – but the boys’ pants hanging completely off the ass, crotch around the knees? I mean, pleeeez. I remember this style actually being around, more or less the same for about one year in about 1964, Surfers loved to show their baggies (boxer underwear) and the beaners were so thin, their pants just sort of naturally slid off down their hips. My point is that: didn’t fashion fads used to come and go with a hell of a lot more speed than we’ve seen with these hip-hop affiliated and assorted fashions? Seems like these have been hanging around for nearly two decaded now. I don’t think this is off topic. But whatever. I guess when I think way back to my earlier days, my view is sort of West Coast centric, and one thing that’s way different about fashion fads today is that they go global in a big way, right away.
I was talking with a co-teacher and I were talking about our upcoming evaluations…we teach the same subject, so we’re supposed to be teaching the same concepts, and she asked if we could do idioms because “I have a lesson I’ve done for the last 3 years and I got very good evaluations on it”. All I could think is good luck with that. I plan to do something new, very concrete and designed to teach something. It’s a whole new world and I plan to adapt and thrive!
‘The times they are a changin’
Elsa- Can you give us a song to show us an example?
huh… my present students are the first vanguard of pluto in sag. that might be part of what’s bothering me…
well, that and i got a whole handful of special cases all lumped together in one period (the rest are lovely fun.)
I have the theme song from Dr. Zhivago playing in my head now. If I had as much talent as I sometimes imagine, I would be a GD virtuoso.
Winter right? The scenes near the end where they find there way back to the farmhouse and it is full of snow and ice, except the room where they can keep a fire going. Outside the wolves are howling.
I just love the Playboy story about having the naked Virgin Mary photos, and the backlash… You just can’t sexualize (Pluto) religion (Sag) willy-nilly anymore, how passe.
Also loving the Drudge headline: Top Socialites Face Ruin
As you said back in ’07, “But to the collective I think this is a heads up that heads can roll… all heads, any heads. With Pluto in Capricorn it will be the people with substance who have power…”
Heeeeeeeere’s Johnny!
“I just love the Playboy story about having the naked Virgin Mary photos, and the backlash…”
Good catch, Del!
i was talking to friends who will be having their first kid in 2009. Even though these friends are creative and hip and very liberal (I would say almost punk-rock; both are very Leo) interestingly, they both have a strong vision of parenting where they want their kid to be raised almost old-school style ie, their kid will not dictate their schedule; their kid will not run their lives…he/she will not get whatever she wants… and will do as he/she is told. That’s what they are saying NOW, anyway…
