Pluto in Capricorn - What Are the Issues For 2009 and Onwards?

As Pluto moves through Capricorn what are the issues that we need to face?

Pluto stands for transformation, what we need to change. Capricorn stands for the world, what is happening on the earth plane.

There has been a shift in consciousness focus. The old paradigm is seriously under question. This is a time when we must consider the long term and any 'plan' that only considers the next few years is bound to be problematic.

Pluto entered Capricorn on the 26th January 2008. It retrograded back into Sagittarius on the 14th June 2008 and re-entered Capricorn on the 27th November 2008. Pluto will remain in Capricorn until 2023 - 2024.

On the earth plane (physical - ruled by the earth signs) there appear to be a few major issues that humanity as a whole will need to address as Pluto moves through Capricorn.

These are:

1) Population density, our primary problem. The huge number of people alive today is creating an unprecedented strain on world resources. There are not enough easily accessible birth control options for women in poorer countries. So third world populations continue to grow, as women cannot control when they will have children.

2) Food, water, clothing, work and shelter. Quite simply, over half the worlds population doesn't have adequate access to the basic necessities of life and live a subsistence, or near subsistence existence.

3) Energy resources. Fossil fuels are becoming harder to access. The age of cheap oil is most likely over. There is still plenty of oil in the world but much of it is harder to access and therefore more expensive than easily accessible oil.

4) Climate change. It appears that the earth is becoming more volatile and unpredictable weather wise. It appears that there is a link between human activities and global weather phenomena.

5) Pollution - environmental: the air we breathe, the physical space we occupy, the noise we make, the thoughts we think. Everything we do has an effect on others. If we only consider our own interests then we are inevitably causing others dis-ease. Thus to make less of a negative impact on the lives of others, it is necessary to consider the wider environment that we live in.

6) Ideology: the cult of the "I", the cult of the "we", the cult of the "us" and the cult of the "them". Any belief system that is closed to other belief systems or values will inevitably end in conflict with other ideologies. The challenge is to live your truth but not deny other people theirs.

How we address the issues we face now is vital to our future. What we do now must be part and parcel of a longer framework of time. Capricorn is about time - the long road ahead. We cannot survive very well as a species if we live only for today. We must also live for tomorrow too. So make a plan for a life time and, if you are very broad in your vision, consider the lifetimes to come after you and how your life has an impact on those who follow in your footsteps.

Numerology and the Number 2 - Emotionality, Teamwork and Much More

Every number symbolically includes balanced, over-balanced, and under-balanced energy. The particular form of the number that is exhibited largely depends on the figurative support or resistance of the other hundreds of considerations in the natal and timing comprehensive charts.

The number 2 in its stable form includes energy such as diplomacy, keeping the peace, detail-orientation, sensitivity, partnerships, cooperation, flexibility, harmony, emotional availability, teamwork, talent for event coordination, friendship, romance, group activities, good listening skills, excellent counseling talent, rhythm, solid intuition, open-mindedness, good problem-solving skills, talent for politics, and more.

Like all numbers, it has its imperfections, expressed through its over-balanced or under-balanced form. Trepidation, petty resentments, self-esteem too firmly connected to romantic partnerships, conflict-avoidance, low self-confidence, indecisiveness, passiveness, vacillation, difficulty with solitude, lacking in courage, fragility, lost in details, over-sensitivity, lack of disciplinarian skills, over-whelmed with psychic energies, codependence, and being too much of a magnet for cosmic debris (e.g., others' negative thoughts) are key problems with the number 2.

Sadly, those with a lot of 2 energy frequently find themselves in the following scenario: They are excessively accommodating and helpful, even to the point of being sacrificial, then secretly carry a grudge and resent over-extending themselves to those who don't sincerely appreciate or even acknowledge their efforts. Also, commonly, there are those with heavy natal 2 whose impressive efforts result in success for their team, yet their individual acclaim and glory isn't forthcoming thus, naturally, again they feel cheated.

In its worst form, 2, when supported by other, similar indicators, is as follows: sneaky; manipulative; under-handed; smile-on-the-outside, an "I'm your good friend" outward disposition, but devious behind the mask; dual nature; emotionally explosive; manipulative; exploitive; insincere; prone to cheat; dishonest; and others saying about them, "how could he (or she) have done that, they seem so nice!" after uncovering trickery and deception.

To its credit, the number 2 is unbeatable in undercover and diplomatic work, subtle persuasion, and negotiations. It also eventually finds a healthy balance in supporting others and avoiding being controlled and feeling overly-responsible. It's not your fault, number 2. Stop being a martyr.

Heavy 2 timing energy will make you much more aware of your repressed emotional and sexual energy. You can't help but get in touch with your inner-self under strong 2 timing. You're more vulnerable under the number 2. Also, don't be too modest and try not to be a doormat.

The number 2 is the "deer caught in the headlights" look, although shock and surprise is more associated with 11 than 2. An easy way to start to understand the energy associated by the number 2 is to follow your Personal Month numbers.

The Personal Month cycles are a good way to get to know the cycles of time. Being a short-term cycle, the energy is more obvious. But remember, the Personal Month cycle is just one of hundreds of timing cycles to assess in comprehensive analysis, in relation to natal indicators. By itself, it will only give you some clues about your timing.

Those who largely lack the number 2 throughout their comprehensive numerology charts have chosen this lifetime, in part, to focus on effectively working with others. Their success frequently depends on it. There's a need to be immersed in the community and to cultivate interpersonal connections. There can be a harshness, a lack of sympathy in some cases, and a heavy demand for patience. The particulars and finer points of any given undertaking can be a problem too.

2 is some of the slowest-moving energy, can equate to upsets with supportive indicators, and it is frequently a disappointment related to finances. However, it's also representative of one of the best romantic connections you've ever had. Although number 2 finishes second, its rewards have more to do with partnerships, friendships, and romance.

What is Astrology?

People have been asking on how do we astrologers read birth charts or what is the formula or a way to read out the birth charts of any person. People seem to be amazed and felt as if we were magicians. I have been answering you all about all this. Friends, Astrology is not a magic or else, it is just a simple calculation of the planetary movement and placement based on your birth. We try to calculate your exact birth time and location from you and than try to calculate the planets positioning. We try to find the influence of planets on your life.

Friends, than we try to find out the planets influence on you. We normally try to talk of past, so as to understand you better. By telling about past, we understand that the details given by you or known by you are correct, and that we have our calculations done accurate. This is a normal work cycle, which we try to do always. There are some regular clients of us astrologers, so we do not discuss each and every detail again and again, so we just concentrate on past things. There are some people who have gone to different Astrologers or who are not keen on knowing past things. They just want to ask their questions and are just interested in future or how to improve them. Some web portals have online Astrologers, for you to know about yourself online and the system seem to be very fast. I was once a member to such site, but stopped doing it, as it takes a lot of time and energy. I am now using my full energy on my own site, so have a better accuracy graph.

Some people ask me, how do gem stones or keeping a cloth piece and Camphor help them, so my answer is as follows: We all must understand that the Earth and other planets were all formed by a huge explosion, and earlier were a BIG ball. Since earth and other planets were formed from one ball, we may be affected too by any other planet. Therefore, some of people like me try to help with gem stones. I also suggest some other solutions, like donations or other things. Friends, hey you all might ask why I call you all friends, without knowing anyone. Hey, I am calling you friends, as we can share things and can discuss with friends only. We can be comfortable with friends. I am sorry if you felt bad for calling you all as friends.
