Does the demotion of Pluto astronomically affect Astrology's use of Pluto?
Read Jeffrey Kishner's assessment at Lunar Tunes for a great explanation of what's up with the new (and improved?) Pluto. There you'll find a link to Lynn Hayes' excellent analysis on the subject, too.
Here at SO'W, there's concern over the synchronicity of Pluto's current demotion--which has admittedly been in the ointment for some time--and Pluto's approach to the 26-27 Sagittarius degree area of the zodiac...aka Galactic Center. Is the GC our galaxy's bellybutton? Will Pluto get the lint out?
The Galactic Center is a vortex or drain where energy is sucked into nothingness, and we always associate Pluto astrologically to the deepest power, violence, explosions, primal energy...the darker elements of life.
As transiting Pluto reaches Galactic Center beginning in December 2006, and off and on through 2007, we will be hearing more of these dark issues. Does Pluto's demotion relate synchronistically to his reaching the vortex? Will he 'go dark' in fact as well as in scientists' minds and the collective's consciousness? He is, as we know, associated archetypally with depth psychology and the Un-conscious.
The recent announcement by scientists that, yes, there really IS dark matter--and that they don't know what the hay it is--is part of this conversation especially since Pluto has an orb of influence of 5 degrees and so has been in approach to the GC for some time. He's a slow-mover, that Pluto of the invisible helmet...a very interesting fellow.
Is Pluto part of a Neptunian system? This reluctant astrologer suspects so.
And it wouldn't surprise me at all if you wished to visit Joni Patry's GalacticCenter.org for more info on our new, re-tooled Pluto. Helmet may be required!
