Pluto in Capricorn and Fake Autobiographies

I’m captivated by an NPR story about fake autobiographies.This kind of thing has been going on for a very long time, but the transit of Pluto in Capricorn may offer a frame of understanding.

Or, at least, that’s what I’m thinking about today.

In particular, authenticity in Capricorn relates to the reality of time. Capricorn says you get to be the authority if you’ve put in the years. Effort matters, too, yes, but years have almost as much weight as effort. Staying power from this perspective is merit - if you can last at something, you’ve got something that’s worthwhile.

Uncovering (Pluto) the fact of any claims to authority (Capricorn) is called for. This phenomenon and the attention it’s receiving at present hints at a greater theme, one that we’re all experiencing to some degree.

In early April, Pluto will begin its annual 5 month retrograde cycle. It will retro back into Sagittarius (I know, I know – haven’t we come such a long way from those days?!), and the opportunity for individuals and the collective will be to get a fresh perspective on whatever we were Sagittariusing for the last 13 years (intuiting and/or assuming is most likely true), and how our recent Capricorning (beginning to make the physical world reflect what we intuited and/or assumed is most likely true) might be adjusted to better reflect that fresh perspective on our truth.

As far as the fake autobiography thing goes, the reason for impersonating who you think might be a more interesting person than you think you really are could be the thing. The truth is that people are fascinating, and when our inner worlds are given some air, fantastic stories are revealed. This is true in everyone, I don’t care who you are - or who you think you are or aren’t.
