Pluto’s presence in Capricorn has the potential to make a huge impact on our lives and change the direction of our futures. Pluto rules Scorpio, and this planet represents transformation and deep inner searching. Pluto can guide intense personal changes and shake up our perspectives. Read on to see how Pluto in Capricorn can change your mindset over the next few years:
- You’ll begin thinking seriously about getting older.
Capricorn is associated with aging and the lessons we learn as we grow older. While Pluto is in Capricorn, you may begin to reflect on your own mortality-but this doesn’t have to be a scary experience! It can actually help you appreciate the present in a completely new way. Accepting your own mortality and gaining the wisdom that comes with aging can be freeing.
- You’ll be motivated to fix areas of insecurity in your life.
This could apply to almost any area of your life. If you’re in a tough financial situation, you may begin budgeting and saving more money. If you’re feeling unsure about certain relationships, you may begin thinking about cutting certain people out of your life and investing your time and energy into a different social group. Pluto in Capricorn makes us want to stabilize the foundations of our lives.
- You’ll think seriously about any desires for status.
Where do you want to go in life? Why do you want the things that you want? Are you looking for money, power, or even fame? In this day and age, it can be easy to get caught up in these things, but Pluto’s presence in Capricorn can push us to think seriously about what we actually want and see how some of the trappings of high social or class status can be harmful.
- You turn away fro materialism.
Pluto in Capricorn pushes us to consider the objects around us-the things we purchase to fill our homes, cars, or office space. Do we actually need these things? Do we even want some of these things? It’s important to recognize when the answer to those questions is no. Pluto in Capricorn can help you live a more minimalistic lifestyle, which means less clutter and less unhealthy attachments to material objects. This is definitely beneficial for mental health and organization.
- Keep your head up when things get difficult.
Pluto in Capricorn can bring about challenging, life altering events. You may lose your dream job or suffer a tough break up. You may move to a new city and struggle to fit in. Take it all in stride, and remember that part of changing your life is surviving tough times. You will surprise yourself with your strength and bravery as you conquer life’s many obstacles.
