The US Astrological Birth Chart, Pluto*, the US Economy & YOU

*The planet of transformation

This is the third in a series of pre-July 4th articles focusing on the US Astrology & Politics.

FYI: This particular article focuses more on Astrology than Politics.

Have you recently found yourself thinking (and perhaps worrying) about how to juggle your

personal budget and your bank accounts – perhaps even more than usual?

From an astrological perspective a strong “YES” to the above question would be expected. Full Moons bring light and attention to related relevant subjects. The sign of the Full Moon influences our focus and thinking.

On June 21, 2024 we had a Full Moon in Capricorn and another Capricorn Full Moon now follows on July 21, 2024. Capricorn is the sign that rules big business, and governments. Of course, these two elements of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have much to do with money and the economy. Thus, it makes sense money issues are front and center for many of us.

The Recent History of Capricorn Influencing the US Economy Background -- Cosmic information: In the US Astrology Chart created for the time when the US was born Pluto resides in the 2 nd House of Money in the Sign of Capricorn. This has meant that when Pluto has been transiting in the sky in Capricorn (since 2008) that it has had extra umph. It will finally exit Capricorn on November 21,

2024. AND…

On February 22, 2022: The first ever US Pluto Birthday (Return) occurred. On that day approximately 246 years after the founding of the US in 1776 Pluto completed a full orbit of the Sun. The entry of Pluto into Capricorn in 2008 marked a significant astrological time coinciding with a turbulent period in the global financial landscape. The following are some key events and trends in the financial world that occurred between 2008 and the present time. Global Financial Crisis (2007-2008): Just before Pluto entered Capricorn, the world experienced a severe financial crisis triggered by the collapse of the subprime mortgage market in the United States. Government Bailouts and Stimulus Packages: In response to the financial crisis, governments around the world implemented massive bailouts. Regulatory Reforms: The financial crisis prompted calls for stricter regulations to prevent similar events in the future. The Rise of Cryptocurrencies: In the aftermath of the financial crisis, distrust in traditional financial systems led to the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Debt Levels and Sovereign Crises: Sovereign debt crises during this period, lead to austerity measures, political instability, and debates over the sustainability of government debt. AND…additionally there was also the very relevant disruptive impact of Covid 19. When Pluto and Saturn (the taskmaster of human discipline) cosmically joined forces this very disruptive global health crisis emerged. It created significant changes in economics including: Supply chain disruptions, at home work leading to a decline in the commercial real estate sector, businesses closing, Amazon and home delivery of food becoming a huge “go to” approaches to everyday commercial activities. You, Pluto, and Flourishing in the Future

Pluto is a cosmic force of nature that is all about transformation. It can be attributed to make previous impossibilities become possible. If there are conditions that hinder transformation Pluto exposes them and

removes them (sometimes with brutal force) so meaningful transformation can be accomplished. In late November Pluto will leave the earth sign of Capricorn and move into the air sign Aquarius where it will

stay for almost 30 years.

Aquarius is the sign of inventions and revolutionary thinking and is, will influence Pluto to be similar to Pluto in Capricorn. The overriding thrust will continue to be about making the seemingly impossible possible. It differs from Pluto in Capricorn in that it focuses on adapting our thinking vs. our structures and systems. The everyday people (the likes of you and me) who want to flourish during this Pluto in Aquarius time will be more likely to be successful and effective if we seek to be adept at adjusting to changing tides and paradigms. Support for Strengthening Your Commitment to Well-Being

Many people are change resistant And if this is you, that portends to be a way of being that will severely limit your ability to go with the flow in the coming age of Pluto in Aquarius.
