From Sagittarius to Capricorn, re Pluto’s Upcoming Shift

I’ve been thinking this morning about Pluto being the “bottom line”: What, in the end, is the most important thing. What underlies everything else.

In the paradigm of evolutionary astrology, Pluto for any person (natally) represents the deepest desires & intentions of the soul, as well as the soul’s deepest wounding. Transiting Pluto for all of us indicates pathways to manifest desires and intentions, while offering doorways into healing any wounds we collectively share.

This morning I’ve been thinking about the shift from Sagittarius to Capricorn as one from Mutable to Cardinal, and from Fire to Earth.

Mutable to Cardinal: From flexible and preparatory to direction-based. From openness to the exigencies of external circumstance to the motivation to travel over or plough through them. From an awareness of multiple existing realities to the instinct to create new ones.

Fire to Earth: From the spark of inspiration to the need to manifest physical structure and order. From the flash of intuitive knowing to the necessity of manufacturing and sensing physical security. From the feeling of possibility to the reality of matter.

One way I see this manifesting in my circle is the emergent desire to ground the spiritual knowledge gained during the long transit of Pluto through Sagittarius. Among some folks in my circles, the realization that practical, concrete skills and sturctures need to be applied to the insights recently gained.

In some people, this shift could manifest as the calm knowing that things need to slow down, a natural pitstop on the way to figuring out how to ground and stablize, as Capricorn requires. The intuitive feeling of Sagittarius gives way to the physicalizing of Capricorn.

But, again, this is all bottom-line stuff. Though for anyone interested in healing and making real their deep desires, this shift from Sag-Cap will be noticeable. Those people are the ones focusing on the bottom-line issues of their lives, of life in general.
