Maria Duval talks about Pluto in Capricorn
As Maria Duval is also an astrologer, she has some views to offer about this phenomenon called “Pluto in Capricorn”.
The planet Pluto came back into Capricorn on January 26th 2008 and will stay there until March 24th, 2023, on which date it will move into Aquarius. But the phenomenon of retrogradation (2° by Capricorn on April 03, 2008) will mean it will be back for several months (from June 15th to November 27th) in the sign of Sagittarius.
Maria Duval and many astrologers think this period will be crucial for the major changes that will figure in the future of the Earth.
Pluto in Sagittarius and terrorism We have seen that the passage of Pluto through the Fire sign of Sagittarius coincided with a surge of religious extremism and a proliferation of acts of terrorism, reaching their climax with the events of September 11th 2001.
But Pluto, like all the planets, has a negative function and a positive function: it has also allowed humanity to step up a gear in communication techniques and computer networks. In fact, the Internet has literally exploded since 1996, the date on which Pluto entered Sagittarius.
What should we expect to happen to us with Pluto in Capricorn? …
We caught a first glimpse of things to come towards the end of January 2008, at the very moment when the planet entered this sign in its slightest degree. The world of finance was shocked to learn that a lowly trader at the French bank Société Générale had in fact lost this company 5 billion euros thanks to ‘an elaborate portfolio of fictitious transactions’.
Since then, the world has been plunged into an unprecedented global economic crisis that started from the sub prime crisis in USA. Until today, the situation is still as grave as before. It may even get worse as more banks and financial entities are facing a terrible credit crunch and free falling share prices.
Pluto in Capricorn and the end of capitalism This Earth sign and its planet Saturn correspond to “everything that is hard and everything that lasts”. In this case, the Law, the property market (Saturn= stone), the authorities and the banking institutions, not to forget the education system.
And that’s just the start, since we know that the Plutonian metamorphosis is set to continue through to 2023!
Maria Duval thinks we should, rather, be studying the positive consequences of the Plutonian mutation into Capricorn. It is now clear that the stock exchange system has spun out of control, even if all the specialists agree that the ‘crashes’ of the past can be more easily avoided than before. But, for some years now, the signs have become more and more blatant, and people are starting to work out just how it is that the banks have so much money.
They are increasingly coming to the realisation that this money is virtual, that speculation is not only unfair but also ever more dangerous for the world economy. Isn’t it unfair that a mere trader can earn millions of euros in a single day while so little is done to help the poor?
On May 17th, 1792, the New York stock exchange came into being when 24 brokers decided to apply a uniform rate of commission to all sales of stock. ‘Wall Street’, the largest financial market in the world, was born!
If we look at the astral chart corresponding to that day, we see that Pluto was polarised against the Sun-Mercury duo in Taurus, and the Moon, allied to Saturn, was opposing Jupiter-Neptune.
In other words: the fight was on!
The divide between the rich and the poor gets wider year after year, with African countries suffering increasingly from famine, the impact of global warming becoming ever more costly and the invention of so-called climate refugees!
Conclusion: the time has well and truly come to reform the world of finance. And it’s Pluto that will drive this change over the coming fifteen years. Capitalism is, quite clearly, living its last few years, at least in its current form, since it is damaging the economic stability of the planet.
Pluto is, rightly, called “The Great Upholder of the Law”: it takes the lid of intrigues, plots, embezzlements, frauds, injustices and scams. So this major clean-up may see in a new era of greater transparency in banking, new rules governing stock exchanges and most importantly: a fairer and more balanced distribution of wealth.
At the same time, however, all excesses are possible. So we have to expect a long-term accommodation crisis, an economic recession and extremely tense relations between world governments. Since the cyclical indices are set to hit their lowest point in 2017, we may assume that hope will return from that crucial year onwards, setting things back on a more even keel and laying the foundations of a new world from 2023 (truly the start of the Age of Aquarius?).
Of course, everything depends not only on the free will of humanity as a whole, but also on the free will of each individual!
We mustn’t forget that every drop of the Ocean contributes, in its own, unique way.
