Pluto in Capricorn: Women's Rights and Contraception

So far during Pluto in Capricorn, a Democrat won office in November of 2008 which was the beginning of a new ear. Obama promised change when he was running for office four years ago. Republicans absolutely could not stand having a Dem in office so everyone went out and elected a Republican congress in 2010. Since then, there have been more talks of cutting social and education programs and even more anti-abortion legislation.

Abortion is legal. It is fine to not like it. No one likes abortion. Don't believe in it? Don't do it. Mind your own business.

A lot of people cite religion. Although I think some of these people truly are religious, I think most of these legislators are "Anti-Woman." They want to reverse women into pre-feminism days. Days when a woman was barefoot and pregnant, popped out some every other year, and sometimes would die from complications. Keeping low income women pregnant keeps them out of the work force and more dependent on the State. It keeps them from entering higher ed and from having a real job someday. I think that is the one BIGGEST thing from low income women from succeeding. Men have it easier and harder at the same time, but I am not getting into that. "It is a woman's place to be at the home and take care of the kids."

Many of these people do not care for the babies when they are born. They care about the fertilized egg more than they do a Pre-Schooler. It's not about the kids. At least for most of them. It's about controlling women. Keeping them down. Reversing them into a previous state.

Obviously you can have a baby and have a full time career, but it's exhausting to do esp if you are breastfeeding. There is nothing wrong with motherhood, but why force motherhood on a young women who may not be ready for it or does not want children t at all?

Contraception is to prevent pregnancy but other reasons too. For a girl from a low income family, this can be an asset since I believe that when a poor woman has a baby it sets her back. It makes it extremely difficult to move forward. A girl from a middle class family at least has more support and a family with a larger income to help her. Her family isn't going to be happy about the pregnancy, but it will be easier for her to transition from motherhood to school or work. Being a mom isn't easy for anyone, but if you have more money or from a family with more money, there is one less stress off your shoulder.

Some people say "I don't want to pay for them to have sex." If a poor woman is on Medicaid and she can get contraception, it's better to pay for that than pay for an entire pregnancy and a new human being when it's born. Much better for her to be on contraception and have her finish a vocational or community college setting or even better a 4-year degree. That way, she has a chance of being a tax payer like you. And she probably has a job too and pays Social Security taxes as well.

And all other women simply have their insurances pay. Insurances they pay into themselves or their parents. NOT YOU. This guy on my FB friends list thinks he has to pay for all these women to have sex. Women are going to have sex. They like sex. Just like you. Deal with it.

it is interesting that these issues are brought up again during Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Cancer was during the WW1 and 1920s/early 1930's era. This was another women centered era where women fought for their right ( and won ) to vote. Many other issues related to the issues now happened back then to. Issues of motherhood arose; more women left the home when their men were in combat to work and during the Depression, some women had to find jobs to help support the family. My great grandma went to work in the 1930s, but she was not married yet and it was when she first met my great grandpa. But she was still working. Some women wanted more control over their bodies back then and there were dangerous abortions being done in back alleys. This was happening until 1971.

Capricorn and Cancer are on an axis, representing the 10H and 4H respectively. The 4H is about the home, the family, ancestry roots and emotional stability. The 10H is the public sphere, politics, your career, etc. Capricorn brings these issues to light. These issues were a problem during the Cancer era as well, but more so private issues no one spoke about.

Scorpio or Pluto influenced people & Relationships

Today I’m going to talk about relationships. Any relationships, really, but they must be close relationships. This article will mostly talk about romantic or serious ones, but also serious friendships as well.

First off, when I mean Scorpio influenced the person has at least two Scorpio planets. But even if you have one Scorpio planet, it may not be dominant but the traits will come out in some form or another. ( My only Scorpio personal planet is Venus, but it’s in the 8H and conj Pluto, which adds strength to it ).

Some people may not have too many Scorpio placements, but might have one. However, they could have multiple Pluto aspects to their personal planets. Pluto in the 8H is also a strong indicator, or having 8H placements. Pluto on an angle is also important; Pluto in the 1H, 4H, 7H, or 10H.

Basically, if you’re heavily Scorpio or simply have Pluto aspecting many of your planets/ or have 8H placements, then this is the article for you.

You’re not all about superficial casual friendships or relationships. You’ll enter into one, but you resent yourself for it. There are trust issues, perhaps resulting from childhood rejections, and this is something you need to get over. Some trust issues are good, though. We’re the type of people who aren’t going to naively trust someone and get screwed over, although it might have happened once. We want to make sure that when we make a new friend or a future boyfriend/girlfriend, we want to know they are worth it and in for the long haul.

We feel like shit if we feel underappreciated. We analyze every little thing a partner does, sometimes to the point we go crazy. We are extremely loyal, unless someone really pisses us off, and we expect loyalty in return.

We’re good friends, unless we’re backstabbed. When we’re backstabbed, we cut the person out of our lives for good. We are capable of leaving a friendship or relationship and not looking back, but the letting go part hurts. We want to hang out, but we know we must burn the bridge and let go. We often resent ourselves for giving in to other people.

Some of us have dominance issues, which can tear apart relationships. Some men with these aspects want control over their lovers, because they are insecure on the inside. Some may use manipulation, because they fear being rejected or the woman leaving them.

Some of us may have found ourselves using manipulation to get what we want. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. We have lost and we do not like that, but we need to learn that we lose people sometimes.

Some of us may have a compulsive need to control our emotions. We don’t like appearing vulnerable. We are aware of our feelings and how they impact us, but we don’t like to show them. Sometimes our emotions erupt like a volcano. We can be hot and cold, like fire and ice. We can be passionate and we can be apathetic.

When we love someone, we want their heart and soul. We expect to be given their heart and soul. We can be jealous of anyone who gives our sweetie attention. We’re big on boundaries. We expect devotion and love. We expect intelligence. We seek the truth and probe to get the truth.

Jealousy can get the better of us. Some of us are a slight possessive and other of us want our partner to be our prize. Jealously often rips us apart. We can be cruel when we’re mad. We can say cruel things.

If we feel slighted, our partner gets the cold shoulder or a glare, or a “talk.” We often know when a relationship is going to end because we can just “feel” it. We sometimes hold on longer than we should. We know when someone is into us and when someone is not.

We sometimes burn bridges when we want to end a friendship or relationship. We want nothing to do with them. We remember them, though. Their memory lingers.

Relationships change and transform us for the better. But we gain experience as we get older and become better people for it.

Pluto: Destruction, Power, Transformation, Corruption... And Harry Potter!

I saw the final installment of the Harry Potter movies yesterday; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two. I’ve been reading the Harry Potter series since the young age of 10 and never bothered to analyze the stories until recently. When I was watching the movie yesterday, I had an AHA! moment. Pluto and how it relates to astrology came into my mind, and I saw a connection of that in the Harry Potter movies and stories in regards to Harry Potter and Voldemort.
As we all know, Pluto is often feared by people. People get their pants in a bunches when they find out they have a Pluto aspect to personal planets, or if they have a Pluto-Mars or Pluto-Moon transit coming on. In astrology, Pluto represents destruction, corruption, power, sex, the dark side of human nature, taboos, the occult and most importantly death. However, Pluto also is associated with rebirth, compassion, transformation, penetration and depth, insight, and devotion. Pluto is associated with the sign of Scorpio and its natural house is the 8th house.
In Harry Potter, we all know about You-Know-Who… a.k.a. Lord Voldemort. He’s the super bad wizard who gets a following known as Death Eaters. They do all kinds of horrors and terrors, turning the wizarding world upside down. Turning the wizarding society upside down, all for Voldemorts gains for power. Often, Pluto in signs often turn our own societies upside down and then we must find an outlet for transformation to change ourselves for the better.
When Voldemort tried to kill Harry Potter ( after killing his parents, of course, on Halloween ), his spell backfired. He was turned into nothing and disappeared for years. Harry was left with a scar on his forehead. This scar had a part of Voldemort’s soul in it, which meant Harry knew what he was feeling and how he was able to talk to snakes.
In the stories, Voldemort had many horcruxes. IN each one, he had a part of his soul in it. This kept him alive and well. Harry Potter and his pals would be sent on a mission in the later stories to kill these horcruxes and then kill Voldemort himself. Aside from that, I’m coming to my point… Voldemort is afraid of death ( Pluto ) and keeping his soul in these objects to keep him from death. They keep him powerful ( Pluto ).
Voldemort is the traditional “dark wizard.” He is ALL about the bad side of Pluto; he had a bad childhood and decided he would take over the world because of it. Great insecurity; great fear of failure. Voldemort was known from a young age he was special; he had great abilities and great power. When he was a teen ( if you read the second book ), you’d see a more charismatic, powerful and devoted wizarding student. You’d know Voldemort ( at the time Tom Riddle ) would be a powerful wizard, but would he use his powers for good or for evil?
Anyone who has read the books or seen the movies knows the answer to that. He used his powers for evil and had an aspirations for dark magic. Forbidden magic. He was interested in bringing people back from the dead. ( Even when Harry Potter mentioned something like that in the earlier books when he was younger, people gasped and said that was dark magic talk. ) Basically, you know, Voldemort creates a following ( Death Eaters ) and they do all sorts of horrors. Voldemort keeps himself in power through manipulation and control. He destroys followers who betray him ( Pluto ).
At the very end of the series, Harry Potter knows he must die in order for Voldemort to die since a part of Voldy’s soul is inside of him. I see this as the rebirth part of Pluto. Harry chooses to go back to life and fight the rest of Voldemort ( by killing his snake, the last horcrux ).
Harry Potter, like Voldemort, had a lot of potential and a lot of power. Just like Voldy, Harry was deemed as special ever since he found out he was a wizard. Over time, he grew more confident ( and other times arrogant ). I’ve never always liked Harry’s attitudes in some of the books, but I felt he was an O.K. guy with potential.
When Harry first went to Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat wanted to put him in Slytherin. Harry was told he would do well in Slytherin. If Harry chose Slytherin, I am sure he’d gain ambition, a lot of friends and could be a high position of power someday ( or be a Dark Wizard like Voldemort ). However, Harry did not want to be in Slyherin because he heard bad people were in it. He wanted to be in Gryfindor so the Sorting Hat put him in there.
Harry, I believe, was at crossroads during his time at Hogwarts especially in the beginning. He could choose to either be a powerful dark wizard or a powerful defender wizard. He held a grudge against Voldemort for killing his parents, so I believe this has helped him from going to the “Dark Side.”
Basically, Harry Potter represents the other side of Pluto, when power is used as a more positive outlet. Harry Potter was a person of power at Hogwarts; he held the DA ( Dumbledore’s Army ) and was able to influence other students to his cause. At the end of the series, he had the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in the world. He broke the wand to its pieces, showing he had no desire to be the most powerful wizard.
Harry was able to defeat the darkness and help transform/rebuild the wizarding world. Without him, there would be no hope.
