The Last Day…The Age of Sagittarius

Greetings,
As I write, Pluto is at 29 degrees and 59 minutes Sagittarius. For those unfamiliar with the rules of astrology hockey, that’s as high as it gets. There is no 29 degrees and 60 minutes and there is no 30 degrees even; the next stop is Pluto in Capricorn.
Scanning back over so much of the astrology during my entire career writing about the stuff (which began the last year of Pluto in Scorpio, 1994) it seems that every story comes back to Pluto in Sagittarius. This is the sign that contains two massive galactic points — the Galactic Core and the Great Attractor. These may help us account for the profoundly spiritual influence of Sagg, and the extent to which this sign is associated with grandiosity (for example, that Bush administration official a few years back accusing everyone of being in a delusional “reality-based” existence in the Sunday Times Magazine, remember that?)
Pluto changing signs changes the backdrop to society. The backdrop changes the quality of the energy in the room, the way things look and feel and ultimately how people conduct themselves. On the interior, Pluto guides our growth process. It can take us through the most satisfying and challenging “lessons” and opportunities of our lives; it is the real work, the deeper purpose, the experience of identifying with soul rather than with this elusive, verging-on-nonexistent thing we call ego.
These are special days of our lives. They are the time of transition. They are a beginning and an ending, and in truth we stand before a vast field of the unknown; so much that we felt was so certain is changing, and that includes things that we felt were intractable, impossible to resolve, unable to deal with. Check in and you’ll see that the reason you have the strength today that you may have lacked yesterday involves your inner connection. Yes, a lot of assholes thought it brilliant to convert church meeting rooms into Republican clubhouses. A bunch of bankers who I am sure can’t change a lightbulb dumped hundreds of billions of dollars gambling on financial instruments that nobody actually understands, not noticing there was a problem because the smell of steak was so tantalizing. And this, they called “growth” and they deemed themselves “too big to fail.”
But at the same time, everyone else was being pushed, pulled, dragged, thrown or was voluntarily walking on the hot bed of coals that we know as Sagittarius; home of the Galactic Core (the heart of Goddess/God) and the Great Attractor (the matrix at the center of time).
The history of these years is incredible; it was, as we were living it. We don’t know for sure what is next; and if we feel the fear that the banks or the economy are not going to be able to sustain us, let that have a touch of cosmic wisdom to it.
We are living on a planet in the deeps of space, waaaaaay out on the edge of a galaxy. We have no idea how we got here, or what we are doing here. We fill that lack of purpose with all kinds of bullshit: religion, excuses not to have fun, greed that is really a hedge against death, denying ourselves simple pleasures so we can be “good,” and a general refusal to embrace existence for the fleeting, brilliant thing that it is. But here we are, on a very small, very beautiful planet, way out on the edge of a spiral galaxy, waiting for what happens next. You can wait, or you can pick something and make it happen.
Yours & truly,
