October 11th - Pluto stations direct

From the 11th-13th Pluto, while slowing down & stationing, squares Mercury as the inner planet moves from Libra to Scorpio. We've been having Pluto stations in Capricorn since 2008-9, & this is the last he'll be in Capricorn for the rest of any of our lifetimes. Mercury brings the underworld planet's hidden matters to light: think investigative journalism, mystery stories, & exposés on dark scandals. Conversely, we can also see manipulation, control, & suppression of information by forces who prefer to remain in the shadows. Pluto is like a doorway to the underworld: it both plunges things into obscurity & brings up secrets from the depths. This is one last burst of intensity in late Capricorn/cardinal signs for those of us who've been feeling its effects--think of molting, with its vulnerabilities & benefits alike. This also marks the end of the United States' Pluto return--an uncertain evaluation of the next 250 years.
