Pluto in the first house?

From Christophe in France: “I was wondering about the effect of Pluto entering Capricorn for Capricorn Ascendant people? My wife is a Scorpio born with ascendant Capricorn and I was interested in knowing what will be the effects from an ascendant point of view.”

The Ascendant is our identity, physical appearance, the attitude we have and how we behave, it represents what wins us favours. If you have transit Pluto in your first house in your personal chart, you are getting in touch with yourself, partly by external force and partly because who you have become no longer pleases you at your inner core.

Much the same way, we have been seeing the influence out there in the World. The global economy is in turmoil, we are in either in a recession, depression, or a technical recession, depending on which ‘expert’ or leader we hear discuss the situation. The rescue packages and the government spending in various countries are focused on infrastructures. This is of course a very Capricorn concept as is the limitation and long-term debt these actions bring into our lives.

Pluto moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn on November 26, 2008 at 17:03 PST. While knowing a time is relevant to cast a chart, when it comes to the outer planets—or Plutoids as the case may be—it isn’t about a moment in time.  Watching the news anywhere on the globe, the headlines already reflect our changing reality. There are numerous bankruptcies, government bailouts or rescue package in order to resuscitate the failing or faltering global economy. › Continue reading
