While the news media and the politicians are desperately trying to tell us we are returning to normal or will return to normal, most people, I think, feel a fundamental shift has taken place and even more dramatic change is in our not so distance future. In astrology, individuals will feel significant change when an energy point ingresses from one sign to another. The first ingress we felt was Pluto leaving Sagittarius at the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008 and entering Capricorn. Not surprisingly the financial meltdown occurred during that ingress. When an ingress occurs it is not a one and done cross over; the ingressing energy point will pass over the ingress point at least 3 times thanks to retrograde motion. Pluto in Sagittarius was all about the transformation of religions, higher learning, and authority mainly through expansion, which, when the bill came due and Pluto entered Capricorn we learned that the entire world (except for China) overextended and expanded not through savings, but debt. The 8.5 million jobs lost in America and the deflation (instead of inflation) of wages and property values reflect false or fake employment and expansion. The jobs and homes were built on the debt supercycle and Pluto entering Capricorn forced the pendulum swing back and will continue to do so for the next 15 years!
It is not that we're "not out of the woods yet," it's that we're not fully into the woods yet. Now this one ingress is enough to gut punch us, but right now, today, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, and Neptune are ingressing; all of the outer planets! Saturn is dancing over Virgo/Libra. Chiron and Neptune, which are conjunct, are crossing back and forth over Aquarius/Pisces, and Uranus is dancing over Pisces/Aries. Saturn is currently opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto (by orb ... or "allowed range"; the square between Uranus and Pluto will be exact for the first time June 2012). This configuration of Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto creates what is known as a T-Square (or 90 degree triangle), with the "missing" point over in Cancer (the family). With Saturn entering Libra there will be a desire to hold onto the rules and use the same judgments (old ways of thinking will persist). Think of Einstein's comment: “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Which is what Saturn in Libra will encourage, hence weak Health Care and Financial Reform legislation in this country and Financial Reform worldwide. Uranus is leaving the dreamy innovation for pioneering Aries, where getting it done will be part of the drive. But Aries is also warlike, so revolution is part and parcel of its energy. Small snippets have appeared in the form of one man bulldozing his house before the bank could repossess it and another man flying a plane into and IRS building.
At the personal level, you need to have your chart in front of you to know where this ingress energy is affecting you. Neptune and Chiron are moving from idealistic Aquarius into dreamy Pisces (and the ruling sign for Neptune). Demetra George has suggested on Find an Astrologer .com that we can expect scarcity around liquids (read oil and fresh water). Couple that with Chiron's role as our energetic wound and we will likely see more disillusionment and safety recalls (Toyota, Johnson and Johnson, Kelloggs). This energy will likely play out in beliefs, especially spiritual ones (Catholic church scandal). Wherever Aquarius/Pisces is in your chart, you can expect illusion/wounding to energize you to see more clearly. We're in a hell of a cosmic storm and the full impacts of these ingresses will not be felt until we are well into 2011.
