The American Revolution took place the last time Pluto was in Capricorn. On April 20, 2010, when the oil leak began, Pluto was squaring both Saturn and Uranus. Pluto represents violent destruction on a mass scale. The planet of regeneration, Pluto brings death followed by rebirth – the Phoenix rising from its own ashes.

The Pluto square Saturn configuration challenges all of us to face, with both responsibility and self-discipline, what has just happened to our planet, and why. Uranus, planet of chaos and the unexpected, was the trigger. It might help to visualize Saturn and Uranus, which, interestingly enough, are conceptually opposed to each other, as being in near opposition to each other by placement at the time of the explosion. Then picture Pluto moving precisely in the middle of both.

The effect of this near T-Square configuration will be ponderous. There is plenty of blame to go around, but the responsibility is truly bi-partisan. Remember – Plutonian energy has a way of ferreting out the truth, and any attempts to muddy or obfuscate the truth will avail nothing in the end.

Saturn, the planet associated with the crystallization of matter, creates the structure of our reality. The influence of Uranus breaks down outmoded structures, often by force and violence. Pluto, moving into square configuration with both planets, supplied all the spiritual power necessary to manifest a dramatic universal wake-up call to those directly responsible – and to us.

The sacrifices that must be endured now by the flora and fauna of this planet must not be made in vain. We are all accountable, now, for ensuring that nothing of this scope ever occurs again. We must accept the challenge if a true revolution in consciousness is to occur in our lifetime. Pluto remains in Capricorn until 2023. Imagine our planet thirteen years from now if nothing changes. This is just the beginning. Truth, love and light are dawning, and birth is never painless.
