Pluto in Capricorn - Plutonomy, capitalism and the obsession with greed

I just watched Michael Moore's documentary on Capitalism and was smacked in the face with how Pluto's entry in Capricorn is already working its magic and how the shadow side of capitalism is being exposed. With Citigroup's grand plan to take over the world I wondered whether they had an astrologer in their midst after hearing that their new plan was called a Plutonomy!!  I mean with Capricorn ruling capitalism does it get any more Pluto in Capricorn than that? One gives thanks to the cosmic powers that be for the T square to Saturn and Uranus giving us hope that perhaps there will be outcry and rebellion from the people (Uranus) and that these corporations will have to be held responsible and accountable (Saturn) and in fact after further investigation it seems the rebellion has begun.

Here is the bottom line as per Michael Moore.

In 2005 Citigroup sent a memo out to its wealthiest investors that the USA was no longer a democracy but that it was a Plutonomy a society controlled exclusively by and for the benefit of the top 1% of the population who have more wealth of the bottom 95% combined. This letter also goes on to add that they were the new aristocracy and that there was no end in sight for the gravy train they were on.

Even more shockingly apropos with the Saturn/Uranus dance, Michael goes on to add:

According to Citigroup the most potent and short term threat would be societies demanding a more equitable share of the wealth, in other words the peasants might revolt.

...and the people revolt! - Watch here!

He goes on to talk about fairness in the workplace and people who have  set up businesses where each worker owns a part of the business, not a share of the business, they actually own it.  "Democracy in the workplace" he calls it, a beautiful description of Saturn in Libra if ever I heard it as Libra is all about people and fairness, and Saturn represents business.This is just the beginning of the types of things I imagine will be seeing over the next few years while Saturn is in Libra.

The empty leg of the t-square that will be filled at the lunar eclipse with the Sun and Mercury in cancer is asking us to balance this lopsided situation by looking at our family values and tending to the nurturance of ourselves and of those around us.

The lines between corporations and government have been blurred and we have lost all regulation. A congressmen stated during a congressional hearing: "Why aren't we asking wall street to clean up its own mess? Why aren't we helping American families with bankruptcy? Why aren't we reducing debt for main street instead of wall street? Is this the United States of Congress or the board of directors of Goldman Sacks."

This speaks to the Moon/Pluto in Capricorn and Sun/Mercury in Cancer polarity of the cardinal cross which is featured this week at the partial lunar eclipse on June 26th.  Clearly we have been leaning too heavily on the Capricorn energies of success, material focus, organizational control and have neglected the Cancer side of the equation.  With the Sun and Mercury being the faster moving and personal bodies of this configuration we need to restore the balance and bring in the more feminine and yin energies of nurturance, family, emotional connectedness, awareness and respect for mother nature and humanity.

Interesting to note that Michael Moore has natal Moon conjunct Mars at 3 degrees of Capricorn and thus this is very personal for him as Pluto is currently conjunct this point and he is emotionally(moon) driven to fight (mars) against the corruption and power (Pluto) the corporations (in Capricorn) in America are wielding to the detriment of the people and the earth.  This eclipse is also hitting the US Venus in Cancer implying challenges around our core values and relationships will be highlighted and perhaps emotions will be stirred enough to take action to protect our most valuable assets.... our  humanity and our planet.
