Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Today, we're going to take a look at Pluto turning direct in the sign of Capricorn, and we're going to do some brief reminder horoscopes, just as we did for Jupiter turning retrograde in Gemini. I think this will be useful because we can reflect on the end of an era, the end of a long process that Pluto in Capricorn represents in our birth charts.
So we're going to look at the whole sign, whole sign horoscopes today for all 12 signs and give you just a few little thoughts for each of the house positions that Pluto lands in as it is finishing up its very long, very long period of work that it's been doing in our lives will reflect on the overall time. On the overall timeline of Pluto. I'll say a few thoughts about what you might look for, thematically and overall, and then we'll talk about the house topics that are active right now through your horoscopes; I recommend listening for your rising sign, as always. But you can also listen to your sun sign. If you prefer listening to that one, just listen to the sign that you that you typically listen to. All right.
Anyhow, before we get into horoscopes today, don't forget to like and subscribe. Our next goal is 80,000 by the spring equinox. So, I set this goal rather arbitrarily because the big goal, really in my mind, is to see if we can get to 100,000 subscribers on the channel, but I feel like the next manageable goal is to get to 80. So, see if we can get to 80,000 by the spring equinox, which will give us a good amount of time. So, if you are new to the channel, we appreciate your subscription. It's free. It doesn't cost anything and helps us grow our business.
You can find transcripts of any of these daily talks on the website nightlight astrology.com. In the middle of October, I have a new talk under my Live Events page, or events go to live talks; you'll see the next webinar coming up, which is called The Myth of Astrological Compatibility. What does everybody get wrong about the astrology of relationships? There are some really simple things that work and a lot of things that really don't work when it comes to understanding compatibility and astrology. So, if you want to learn about that, come check out this webinar on October 17. You can't attend live. You get the talk later.
The other thing that I'm promoting right now is we are almost at the end of our early bird registration sale for the upcoming year one program, which begins November 16, so just starting a little bit over a month from now, the next year, one program, ancient astrology for the modern mystic, a full year immersion into Hellenistic astrology.
After I sign off today, there's an informational video I'm tagging on to all videos during the enrollment period so that you can learn more about the program and all that includes, so stick around if you want to learn about that. After today's content is done, at the bottom, you'll find enrollment sale options that last until the 15th. You can use those to save on the cost of the program, and then anytime between now and the start of the program, we do have need-based tuition, which is for people on a fixed or limited income. So, if you'd really like to take the class but have to work within a tight budget, we get it. We want to make sure that nobody's priced out of studying something that we consider to be sacred and something that we feel should be very accessible to all people.
So, use the tuition assistance. We'll set you up with a payment plan that matches your budget and make sure that it's not too stressful for you. So apply now for that, and we hope to see some of you in class soon. Again, stick around after content today for more on the programs.
All right. Now, on that note, let us bring up the real-time clock so we can take a look at Pluto in Capricorn. So, as this week goes on, we're going to see that by Friday. Here we go, October 11. On Friday, Pluto is stationing to turn direct. So here you'll see that it's happening right as the moon conjoins Pluto as well in Capricorn. So, an important moment of direct motion from Pluto signals its very last turn of direction in the sign of Capricorn. From this moment forward, it will be going into Aquarius, where it will not look back to Capricorn any longer.
So get ready for the end of an era now; the day of an outer planet stationing to turn Direct or Retrograde is not always the world's most noticeable thing. They are process-oriented planets that move slowly, and their turns often represent turning points that are slower, longer, and more drawn out. So, noticing them takes a little bit of careful observation. You have to be sort of in the habit of noticing and paying attention to transits to really notice an outer planet changing directions. Most of the time, it depends on whether it's hitting a planet or a point in your chart. Of course, that'll be more noticeable.
But generally speaking, these reflect shifts or changes of direction and momentum within storylines that have a lot of history behind them because Pluto takes a long time to work through a sign, and now it's finishing up in a sign that it has been in for over a decade. Let's go back in time. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to remove every single thing in the chart on our in our view, except for Pluto.
Let's go back in time. I mean, here we are in 2024, And isn't it interesting to see? Let's just back this up here. So this is 2007, and you can see that here from January of 2008 into February. I guess Pluto enters Capricorn. So 2008 is when we see the entrance. Now, it's going to retrograde in 2008 into the late part of Sagittarius; at the very tail end of 2008, here we can see that Pluto shifted signs. So Pluto is then spending the rest of its days from the fall of 2008 forward in Capricorn up until now. You know.
So if you take that and spread it out all the way from 24 to 2008, right? That's about 16 years that we have been hanging out with Pluto and Capricorn. Capricorn. So, I think there are a few things we can say about Pluto and Capricorn overall. But all one is that the shadows of Pluto in Capricorn are often. This is remembered as the exaltation of Mars and the domicile of Saturn, the feminine earth sign concerned with getting ahead, building power, and success along established hierarchies within traditional frameworks of societally defined success.
Those kinds of things are pretty normal for Pluto and Capricorn. The shadow of Pluto and Capricorn is stuff like the drive for power, wealth, success, and privilege at the cost of other people or with a kind of ruthless Machiavellian drive. You know, it doesn't matter who gets crushed beneath my ambition. Probably the worst part about Capricorn, in a way, is the kind of ruthless, cold, hard, practical driving urge to be successful or to be masterful or to dominate or to rise up along again established hierarchies.
However, the exact same principles put toward noble pursuits are what allow us to work hard, practice hard, and show maturity and discipline, and it really is as simple as hard work pays off, especially when you're trying to build good things, like your character or like the evolution of your soul. It requires hard work. It requires staying power. It requires that you be real with yourself, that you do not fall into regressive behaviors, and that you take do you pick up your cross and carry it.
You know that's Capricorn at its best. We can climb a mountain. We can do hard things, and hard things actually make us happier, not all the time, but for Capricorn, that's that's the lesson. Doing hard things makes everything easier. The more you learn how to do hard things, gladly, especially hard things that mean something to you, the better off you are.
Now, I'll say this as someone who has a few different areas of my life in which this has taken place. I would say my ten years of working with Ayahuasca were very difficult experiences but very productive in terms of growing me up and teaching me amazing, beautiful healing lessons, but also requiring a kind of grit and determination to get in there and do the work that's pretty common for therapy or any kind of healing modality that requires you know that you, you kind of are, you're cooking yourself in the Alembic and you have to be willing to do that in order to get the best out of yourself.
There are a lot of us who know that we have good things in us, but we will spend all of our lives defending the good things that are in us somehow rather than doing the work to bring them out and actually make them a tangible, manifest, part of our experience, as opposed to just something we know we're capable of. Well, knowing you're capable of something for Capricorn isn't good enough. It has to be actually done. So Capricorn won't settle for people saying all of my worth exists in potentiality or in dreams or visions of what I'm capable of. I know I'm capable, like Capricorn is very practical. Put your money where your mouth is; get something done. Do something that impresses you. If you're capable of doing it, then that's good. Then go do it.
Right? But the best of Capricorn is really that that kind of ambition put in service of things you're trying to build that are a part of your soul, that is a part of your dharma, that all grow you in positive ways, and that therefore the work is not feeding into ruthless, cold-hearted drives for material success or power or greed or what have you. Um, we don't get anywhere in life from Pluto and Capricorn's perspective without sacrifice and hard work; all of the most beautiful, valuable things in this world require an ongoing effort to maintain or to cultivate and, and so there's, there's that part of it now, there are other signs that reflect different philosophies, that maybe there's, you know, something a little different, like, I think of what Pisces says In contrast, okay, you know, chill out everything. Just let things flow, you know.
But Capricorn's perspective is that the good things take hard work. So, what have the shadows been for you since 2008 in this particular area of life that we're going to look at through these horoscopes, and what are the blessings or the benefits? Let's call them the hard work that you have done.
Aries
So, let's take a look at all 12 whole signs now, and I'm just going to give you some keywords for Aries. It's the workhouse. What have you been learning, developing, and growing? What hard work have you done? What is the best hard work that you've done? What are the hard things that you've done to grow? With respect to your career, things are coming to complete themselves. Now there it's the end of an era, and what are the shadows that have come up with respect to career, going all the way back to 2008 career, public reputation, vocation, work, trade that you, you know, maybe a trade that you practice. That's Aries.
Taurus
For Taurus, it's the House of Wisdom, philosophy, beliefs, religion, spirituality, and learning. What have you learned? What has the culmination of your experience been in this house of the higher mind? I think back to when I was a Taurus; I raised myself to the fact that in 2008, I started studying astrology. So many ninth-house adventures, trips to India, and experiences with an Indian religious community. Ayahuasca circles mean so many ninth-house experiences to reflect on all of them and what I've learned and the hard work that's gone in, as well as the shadows that have been explored. That's the same for all tourist risings. Look at that house of wisdom, philosophy, learning teachers, and foreign countries, expanding your horizons, understanding reality at a deeper level, never fully understanding it, but progressing somehow in our understanding.
Gemini
For Geminis, it's the eighth house in this long period of looking at karmic exchanges with other human beings. What do other people give you that is of real, lasting value, and what do you give to other people? What debts have been cleared? How have you come to understand the inner workings of karma in relationships? What have you had to let go of? Where has ambition been your guide, and where has it been your enemy? With respect to relationships with other people? Where has the need for approval from other people, or where has that been a good thing for you, like looking for the right kinds of validation versus the wrong kinds?
Cancer
For Cancers, we see that Pluto is in your seventh house, reflecting the culmination of a long journey around love, intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and marriage. This is a long process for cancers of allowing relationships to be the source of our maturation, letting other people help us grow up and deepen and mature, and also, what have the shadows been in love, sex, and relationships? What have you had to work through to heal, cleanse, or purge?
Leo
For Leo, we see Pluto in sixth place in terms of hard work, sacrifice, and labor. An element of sacrificial service in the sixth house for Leos, what has the great work been for you? What have you learned about sacrifice? What have you learned about what is worth your time, energy, and effort and what isn't? What kinds of crosses are worth carrying versus which are too heavy that you need to set down? What have you learned about workaholism? What have you learned about health and disease? What skills have you developed through a long period of hard work and practice or dedication?
Virgos
All right, for Virgos, we look at Pluto in the fifth house, a place associated with creativity. What have you been learning? What have you been developing that allows you to share who you are creatively with the world? It's not uncommon for people to develop crafts, skills, arts, creative or performative abilities in the fifth house over a long period of time.
It's also looking at what makes you genuinely feel happy and creatively fulfilled versus the things that we do that don't really make us happy but somehow we feel we ought to do them; creative fulfillment goes along with things like sexual, romantic happiness, and connection. What have you been learning that brings you a greater degree of creative satisfaction and happiness versus what are the things you've done where you can see quite clearly? Actually, this isn't making me happy, so topics like children and pregnancy and Our creative legacy, Virgos looking at their relationship with pleasure.
Libra
Libras, we have Pluto in the fourth house, which is the place of home, family, ancestral, karma, roots, foundations, and living environment for Libran; since 2008, there's been a long, slow, and very gradual process of transformation taking place with respect to things like home and family, parents, parental karma, your home or living environment. What shadows have you been exploring with respect to home and family since 2008? That process is now culminating in final experiences that somehow cap it off and seal the learning that's been taking place for so many years.
Scorpio
For Scorpios, Pluto in Capricorn is turning directly in your third house, and here we go. So, turning directly into your third house. The third house is a place of your immediate environment, the culture that you are born in or are a part of; it has to do with things like siblings and neighbors and friends that are sort of like family. It has to do with everything that constellates and orbits around the roots. So we talk about it as something like the extended environment that comes out from and surrounds your home. It's the everyday world you swim in, as around the fish tank, as opposed to the little rock that you live under.
So that environmental space is a little ethereal. It can feel a little intangible. But what kinds of changes have been happening around the mind, emotions, environment, culture, and maybe the different kinds of people, family, relations, and siblings? How has your mind changed? How has what you need from your daily experience and environment changed over the years? Now, there's a culminating pressure to create the final changes, the final changes to the environment, or in the environment, that reflect the completion of a process. I remember Pluto moving into the fourth house, which continues the emphasis on roots, home, and family. For Scorpios, we keep this going.
Sagittarius
For Sagittarius, Pluto's in your second house, which has been there again since 2008, Bringing a very long process of transformation and change around things like money and finances, assets and resources to a close. What has changed about your relationship with money? How have your resources transformed? What you have, what you use, how you earn, how you spend, and the lifestyle that you live in relation to income and expenditures. There's been a lot of lessons around money and finances, as well as things like time and energy, which are also a kind of currency. How do we use what we have? How do we support ourselves? What kind of assets or resources are available to us, and how does Pluto's final moments in Capricorn reflect the completion of this long process?
Capricorn
If you are a Capricorn rising, then this has been a very personal process for you. For a very long time, you have been going through the death and rebirth of your very essence, your character, your personality, psychology, behavior, outlook on life, your sense of who you are, and why you're here. What you are here to learn, what you are here to offer and give your body, your health, your identity, and your very sense of self have been the focus of Pluto's work for so many years. Now, things are coming to a head, and there's just a little bit of final transformation in front of you.
Aquarius
For Aquarius Pluto has been in your 12th house for a long time, reflecting processes in rather unconscious spaces, perhaps highlighting the need for periods of solitude or introspection, reflection, and departure from the world to gain some distance and to do the hard work of looking at ourselves in the mirror of the unconscious. So that long, slow process is also a kind of gestational process that, for Aquarians in particular, right now is leading from a space of unconscious gestation and labor with the unconscious shadow material of the 12th into a moment of tremendous rebirthing and personal transformation that happens as Pluto enters Your first.
Pisces
finally, Pisces, we have Pluto in your 11th house. For so many years, Pluto in the 11th century has been reflecting an ongoing process of change with respect to things like community, groups of people, allies, and friends, the people that you consider to be like-minded and beneficial connections. So Pluto here reflects one last, final push of transformation within the space of groups, communities, friends, and allies, who are the right ones and who are the wrong ones. What groups have served your interests and you found meaningful participation in, and which groups do not match your goals, your dreams, your own essence, or your own creative gifts? We want ideally to be a part of groups that value us, where there's a sense of reciprocity. I give something, I get something.
So this final push for Pisceans in the 11th house suggests that a long process of transformation around the social dimension of your life, allies, and friends groups is coming to a close. Around the wheel we go. So remember, you're not going to necessarily notice this culminating process of transformation on the day that Pluto turns Direct, which is this weekend.
You may notice it over the next couple of weeks, between now and mid-November, when Pluto gets back into Aquarius, at which point the ingress of Pluto into the next house will be the subject of our horoscopes because the movement into the next whole sign house also brings with it a little bit. It's a little splasher, and it's a little bit more noticeable when Pluto ingresses, but this 29th anaretic degree is very powerful.
So don't be surprised if, within those topical domains, I briefly touched on all 12 whole signs that you notice significant final lessons or final moments of change in the weeks ahead. That is it for today. Stick around after I sign off to learn more about our upcoming year one program, Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic. It is a one-year course in Hellenistic astrology. You will love it. It is an absolutely fantastic program. We have a great staff and tons of benefits and perks throughout the program. It starts on November 16. Learn about it after I sign off, and make sure you take advantage of the sale that is running until October 15, as well as need-based tuition if it will help you. All right, take it easy, everyone. Bye.
