2020 - 2022: The Pluto Lord of the Saturn Rings
The Eye of Sauron: The Lord of the Rings
Walls and statues will crumble, some fall. Or boundaries reinforced to stand solid & tall.
Systems and symbols, polluted by power will grow monstrous, before purged - In the final hour.
What will we individually or collectively be forced to reinforce or rebuild during this Planetary Purge and cosmic Changing of the Guard?
The “powers that be” (Saturn/Capricorn Authority; Pluto Power) will Rebuild or Reinforce tyrannical, draconic, austere militant measures of unprecedented, sweeping Power. No one “at the top” will want to relinquish their position willingly so events conspire to rip them away, as their claws draw blood and the tattered remains of the Old World they once ruled over. Abusers rarely go down without a fight.
Saturn is karma; Pluto is power.
Saturn is fear; Pluto is annihilation - nuclear threat. Emotional or literal scorched-earth policy. Total change. Complete transformation.
Some regimes will be wiped out. Some will seize even more power.
Saturn/Pluto experiences seem to coincide with a slowing down or speeding up of time, as Events either happen in rapid succession or else we experience the long, drawn out death pains of a Major Transition unfolding at a snail’s pace. Things Feel Significant, as something major is being marked in our collective and personal history.
Elders step forward offering ancient wisdom during this time of the Great Rearrangement. Are the old ways the better ways? We seem to go back to the Dark Ages in some ways, but the Good Old Days are also mixed in there, in memory.
Old structures are discovered - could there be new leads on Atlantis? With such crumbling and significant structural changes on the planet during this period, underground homes and civilizations could be re-discovered. Pluto is buried treasure and ‘that which is hidden’. What will be “dug up” now (and what lengths will people go to, to “bury” something?).
Conspiracy Theorists (fast becoming vindicated) suggest a long-ago Blueprint in place for a new world order, ‘Illuminati-style’ - or, one of our own choosing, as we all have our role to play.
Capricorn has ties to the Goat, a long term icon for Evil - the Baphomet, Pan, the pursuit of material pleasure, gain and status, in this physical world.
The skies now urge us to Let go of our grasp on purely physical pleasures or benefit. When we leave the physical we leave all things OF the physical. This realm keeps what belongs to it. It all gets left behind, with our body, our final possession.
Saturn-Pluto speaks of “End Games” - the Rise and the Fall of Empires, Governing Bodies, Rulermakers, the “Elite”. Everyone left on Earth will participate in a final chapter, a sort of “end days” - the winter of our discontent, as energy is redirected towards the furnishing of Tomorrow with only that which has Lasting Value from Yesterday. Anything superfluous, superficial or surface has Got To Go. Sometimes a clean slate is better, free of the fingerprints of chapters past.
The season of Capricorn, coinciding for many with darker days, is the time of year when we adorn the bleakness with fairy lights and festive cheer. Sobering resolutions and goals are set (another distinctly Capricorn theme) as we look to Brighter Days, and a New Numerical Year of possibilities.
Keeping a light burning for better days ahead is empirical now, with the looming shadows of Saturn and Pluto glaring over Us, stalking our every move: the ultimate Big Brother alignment.
Parenting is another authority, and our own inner and outer parents feature strongly during this time. Psychopathic parents. Tyrant Bosses - and those Above Us, who may be going through their own Major Transitions. Micromanaging. Controlling behaviors. We either experience the Massive Rearrangement or witness the Fallout in the lives of those around us. Either way we are Participants.
Follow your own internal compass and sense of duty, now. Reality presents us with some cold stone walls, and we must decide to Scale them, try and Detonate them, find a way around/over/under/through or live as though they Do Not Exist, despite their looming shadows. Reality can be harsh but we can always look to the fairy lights that twinkle in our mind’s memory, if nowhere else.
Saturn in sagittarius showed us what is right and wrong. Now in Capricorn, Saturn demands we solidify that, into our Personal Law or Rules of living. We LIVE our Truth. We EMBODY the Truth. We become walking Examples of our own brand of Belief. Our crowning achievements - “what we stand for”. Or a lasting infamous legacy of our personal failures and guilts.
Timelines and dimensions seem to converge at this time, as themes from previous years mature enough to “ripen”. Is something rotten; past it’s “use by” date? Guaranteed, the next couple of years will reveal this to us - in profound and highly personal or public ways.
Heard of the Mandela effect yet ?
Are your memories the same as the collective or are you experiencing the strange ripple of shifting reality? Could we have slipped - or are we slipping - between parallel dimensions?
Can we trust what our physical senses tell us? Just because we can touch it, does NOT mean it’s Real. Surprised? Researchers at the Digital Nature Group have found a way to create interactive Holograms (called Fairy Light) that you can actually touch (and ”It feels like sandpaper”, apparently).
What is Truly Tangible?
Pluto’s connection to Death meeting up with Saturn the lawmaker, suggests changes around undertaking, funerals, the disposal of bodies, the right to die, capital punishment and the Death Penalty (in 2019, still legalized in 14 countries). The culture of Death & Mourning will come into focus during this two year passage.
Scrooge was likely a Capricorn archetype - a symbol of cold austerity, in Dickensian times and the harsh of winter. This theme of Cold Governance is likely to be reflected in the unforgiving, draconian way Governments now do business - slapping new fines, penalties by HARSH cold reptilian rule (the financial district in London is symbolized by Dragons, the beasts said to steal and hoard vast wealth and sleep on it. The Tower of London - home to the Crown Jewels, springs to mind).
Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn may indeed reveal Demons in Charge - within our homes, offices and halls of Authority but also perhaps within ourselves - the greedy cold blooded survivalist within. The Reptilian Brain.
The true blessing to the shadow side of this period is a saving grave for those sinking into Capricorn despondency or depression and the mire of moroseness. Saturn is testing Pluto’s Power for corruption and covert agendas that cancerously pollute and sabotage the System.
Saturn karma ripens this next two years, and even those sitting at The Top will be weighed and judged accordingly. There is a relief in that. Capricorn energy demands They Too must also follow cosmic law. No one is given power on Earth who isn’t being Tested by the ownership of this power.
During the darkest times, then, trust that the The Universe is Governing the government. Everyone must answer to a Higher Authority. This could well be the Judgment Days, spoken of Old.
Expect to see a major Loss of power for some; a fall from Grace unlike anything we’ve seen before. Social outrage and ridicule. The shocking witnessing of those setting the rules, now fouling foul of them; a true “taste of their own medicine”. When we abuse another, we pollute the entire system, and there will be a Price to pay. Doing the Right thing, is the ultimate protection now.
We will likely see the Loss(es) of a VIP, king or queen or the crowning of a new Powerful person, group or company.
Their reach could increase - like the hand of Sauron. Unprecedent Status can be gained or lost - like the windfall followed by a huge heist. Those who gain by shadow means, could find themselves robbed of their tainted riches, Gollum-style.
True Maturity is Self-Mastery - harnessing our Fear, and consistently working towards our Grand Work; our personal offering to the Collective story. Capricorn energy also suggests the sustaining of What is Working - the lasting success of what has stood the test of time.
This passage will reveal new Business Models after the Crash and Burn of major companies and Huge Mergers with a global sway (think Apple/Disney).
Fear tends to make us seize up and restricts our entire Being & Systems. So we are likely to see a stronger desire to stockpile. Hoard. Squirrel away. Hold on. Bullying displays of power as a defensive threat. How far we let fear eat away at us, will determine how dark our days are. Can we dismantle the vice grip of strangling Fear where it already has a hold over us?
If we each do our Part, this alignment could be the thing that tips the scale and sets us on a stronger Path with renewed vitality - and true Power, that can never be taken from us.
We all have classes in the Earth (Heart) School of hard knocks. How gentle or how forceful, or how gradual or how sudden the Irrevocable we are destined to experience will be, depends on our personal charts and karmas and choices.
Are you living in dark fear or in the resilience of knowing you are on the Side of Conscious Creating, over unconscious Underworld Underhanded Choice. Which side are you on - and are you ready to commit or is a change of allegiance the smartest choice?
Certain sanctions and policies are no longer viable. What will we build to replace these?
Some structures we thought were set in place for good are GONE, FORCIBLY REMOVED OR GIVEN UP.
This, then is the best time to withdraw energy from the actions, habits, people or pastimes that chain us in the Darkness. And turn on the light of Realism and Resolution to Stand Strong.
In health astrology, Capricorn rules the Bones in the body - Pluto/saturn suggests Symbolic or Literal Breaks to realign. Acupuncture to removes blocks. Stretching to restore a free flow of energy. Saturn/Pluto reveals these blocks or dams that must be removed To restore homeostasis. Expect to see these made manifest, literal and figuratively during this passage.
Cheaters are busted, secrets are outed. Like an angry red, swollen boil ready to be squeezed, it hurts and this period is likely to Feel Dark - the clouds are oppressive and the fallout heavy (emotionally or physically).
Look out for words like:
“Abolished “
“Zero tolerance”
“Irrevocable”
“Total”
“Ultimatum”
Sexual, emotional and mental abusers continue to Outed & Ousted - as Big Names in High Places suddenly find their hour has arrived and must stand in Public, naked and exposed and ultimately violated themselves. Names are named to bring home to us the extent of Abuse of power that has been for some time, right at the top; right under our very noses. What was Hidden in Plain Sight, now makes itself undeniably known.
No one is immune to this. People are cast down from the throne, Titles stripped, Laid bare. All civilized fronts tarnished, all Stones overturned or overthrown. Police or Military brutality and a stronger Military presence is likely across the planet. Will Martial law be enacted? Certainly the theme of quarantines and restriction of rights seems part and parcel of the Resistance to this Changing of the Guard. Mars, the warmonger squaring Saturn/Pluto later in the year is surely a trigger point for civil unrest and aggressive action.
We could see a “Return to the old ways” or perhaps just those refusing to Lose, trying to turn back the clock to hold on just a little bit longer. But with age comes death and All good things must come to an end. The seasons and Cycles wait for no one.
As the Pipelines in the city are ripped up and out and the smell of sewage strong (the “drain the swamp” campaign comes to mind), City Hall will be purged, demolished or rebuilt after Major attacks on government buildings - by “terrorists” who could even be the local citizens who have simply had enough.
Unchecked evil has its day now but that day is fast coming to an end.
And the rest have to deal with the messy puss-filled boom of the bursting blister.
Yuk. Yes, be grossed out. It’s disgusting. Horrific. Sick. Unacceptable. But welcome the clouds and mess. This is the Grand Clearout and clearer skies are guaranteed.
The Purge has been building as the current Grid collapses. The Skeleton system restructured. Welcome to the Fall of current civilization - one that doesn’t work because power has been confined and confiscated and the deck stacked against us by those who simply weren’t playing fair. Don’t panic. Change is inevitable and necessary.
Some things are Already done. 2020 to 2022 is the slow-mo playout of what has already passed. Like when you have already left a relationship. You may still be there in body but your mind and spirit have checked-out; it will never be the same. Your investment has utterly shifted. Like the job you still show up to, after you have decide to quit or have given your two week’s notice. The Shift is inside and quiet. Suddenly you’re not there, energetically or emotionally. Your sights are already set on the Future.
Outside change therefore can apppear abrupt and harsh but the seeds were already sown on another level, unseen but just as real.
It’s wise to build a stronger support system now. With those who can handle the Tough stuff. The ones who stood with you through your worst. The survivors amongst us. The Resilient ones (much like the Capricorns/Cycle 10 and Scorpios/Cycle 8 souls among us). Those are your People.
Fakers will fall - this period demands real-world effort in real-time. Saturn will reward all efforts at strengthening and stabilizing, along with the necessary relinquishing of what is rotten or Time to Finally Lay to Rest.
The True, tried and tested (and tested and tested again) will be what outlasts and outlives the Pluto perishing playing out in this particular phase.
2020-2022 is endurance time. Keep Going. Slow and steady wins the race or at least makes it to the finish line. Your contribution to the Great Work while you’re able bodied - and embodied - is what counts, regardless of reality results.
The Material You - the you occupying Capricorn manifest reality, gets to decide what will STAY what will Go. What will be allowed or encouraged to continue in your Experience and what will End.
If Saturn/Pluto is the lidless eye of Sauron, evil ever-watchful - it is also the scale up Mount Doom. Giants who seek to crush us. And little people achieving against all practical odds.
Saturn’s Rings of power become Rings of restriction; Trapping like a ritual circle or spell of Confinement. Banishment, imprisonment. Boundaries to keep enemies out. Walls as a shield or To protectively or bullying Keep People In .
Pluto/Saturn becomes the ultimate dark lord Sauron (similar to Satan, with “auro” within; which translates as ‘gold’) and herein lies the promise - Capricorn represents longevity and all that perishes and passes now - in this timeline anyway - leaves us with only that which we Need, to evolve our character in this Earth Game. And sometimes we need less than we think we do, to achieve that which we truly need, deep down.
Feel the Fear. But Keep Calm and don’t stop Carrying On.
