The first phase of the current Saturn\/Pluto cycle occurred back in mid-November with relatively benign effect, considering the fact that the opening square of the cycle in 1993 coincided with the Oklahoma City bombing, and the opposition cycle in 2001 brought us September 11. \u00a0But this second phase which culminates on January 31st has been rather more severe, with a devastating earthquake in Haiti that occurred when Saturn and Pluto were less than one degree from their exact square followed by a second earthquake of 5.9 magnitude on January 20th as the square from Saturn to Pluto tightened to a half degree. \u00a0More on the Haiti earthquake<\/em> <\/em>here<\/a><\/em> <\/em>and<\/em> <\/em>here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Earthquakes and earth changes have long been expected during Pluto\u2019s passage through Capricorn, the sign the governs the structure and foundation upon which we build our world, especially when Uranus, planet of breaking up the status quo, begins to challenge Pluto in a square. \u00a0But the earthquake in Haiti has done more than create devastation; it has forced us as a global people to examine the roots of poverty and political oppression that have turned Haiti into such a tragic nation.<\/p>\n

Saturn and Pluto aren\u2019t vengeful gods like Jehovah \u2013 they just have a job to do. \u00a0Anywhere our lives are rooted in illusion, Saturn will come in and force us to wake up. \u00a0When something in our lives, or in the world around us, is dying or already dead, Pluto will instigate the destructive force to complete the process. \u00a0These two planets together force us, both individually and globally, to face the unpleasant and the horrific, so that transformation and reconstruction can be completed.<\/p>\n

With Pluto in Capricorn, the sign that is ruled by Saturn, the force to tear down and rebuild is extremely powerful. \u00a0Pluto is the destroyer, but also the phoenix which rises from the ashes. Saturn and Capricorn are all about building solid structures that will not give way in a hurricane.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
