Pluto Working Hard In Capricorn

Hello all, instead of an audio blog today, I thought I would provide real world examples of Pluto doing its work in Capricorn. Keep in mind that it is only 7 degrees into the sign and currently "backing up" (retrograde) until September, when it will get all the way back to 4 degrees before moving forward, which will allow Uranus to "catch up" and form an exact square in June of 2012, the first of 7 until March of 2015.

The US Housing Market and the Shadow (Plutonian) Inventory

Nuclear Fallout from Japan (Youtube video of Helen Caldicott) - don't be surprised if this video disappears.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid now in the discussion of cuts, but not the Military (article about the US All-Volunteer Military)

Education on the Ropes (see the movie Waiting for Superman)

Another Big System in Turmoil - the NFL Lockout and a sample of its potential impact

European Debt Crisis

As you can surmise, the list can keep going: US states bankrupt, Middle East unrest (over the whole region), rising Energy Costs, increased Severe Weather (storms of the centuries), Class Warfare worldwide, and on and on. Like a Hurricane building strength, we are only at category 3 and will reach category 5 during the 2012 to 2015 years. The very last remnants of the Pluto/Capricorn storm will not come until November of 2024. So, in the meantime, what to do?

Build your social support network; you may find you need to rely on people in ways you never thought you would (like moving in with them, carpooling, and bartering).

Accumulate assets where you can when you can; so long as the Government prints money, your savings account dwindles. If your retirement is a forced gamble in the casino of the stock market, consider long-term conservative investments. Pay off your mortgage if you can, own everything you can outright (cars, appliances, and so on).

Downsize, learn about your local community, figure out how things work (look under the hood of your car, know where your electrical box is inside your home, and how to repair or build something ... anything).

Take care of your health! Exercise regularly, eat organically, get regular check-ups. Take care of your eyes and teeth.

And most of all, work on your spirituality. What is the meaning of your life in the cosmic drama; why are you here now. What is your responsibility as a human being among human beings living on a living planet that provides for your needs. Wake up and if you are awake, help others wake up. Intervene in life, teach and share.
