As 2010 begins, Uranus is still in Pisces and your third house. He will stay in this area of your chart most of the year, but will be visiting Aries and your fourth house from May 28th through August 13th. Then he moves back into Pisces and your third house until he makes a more permanent move into Aries and your fourth house in March 2011.

There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003. While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed. Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet. Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.

In Pisces, Uranus is somewhat subdued. Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes. Therefore, things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and “fogginess” are ruled by Pisces. Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online. We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam. We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and “positive attitude” information readily available as well. Is it any wonder that people are becoming addicted to the Internet? On the other hand, Uranus’ time in Pisces has helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know. Global brotherhood is much easier to encompass. Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism. Together, they bring us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries. Uranus may not have the razzamatazz in Pisces that he has in some other zodiac signs, but he is not without his charms within this area of our lives.

For Capricorn, this has been occurring in your third house of communications, commerce, and community. Hosting Uranus in this area of your life can be exhilarating. If you work in telecommunications, computers, electric cars, the selling of green technology, community organizing, Internet writing, or high tech sales, you have probably found this to be an excellent energy to host in your communications and commerce sector. If your job requires teamwork, social networking, large group activities, committees, professional associations, etc, you probably found it much easier to get these groups working together towards a common goal. It has also been a “never boring” energy for family and neighbor relationships. People could have been full of pleasant surprises, brotherly love, and great insight, but they could also have been chaotic, stubborn, and/or self-appointed know-it-alls.

Once Uranus moves into Aries, he can have some fun. Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea. Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one’s self, and a brainstorming genius. Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn. Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness. At first, Uranus will enjoy a lovely summer visit into Aries and then later next year, he will formally move into Aries for the next few years. He reminds me of a teenager visiting a college campus before moving there permanently during the college years. This first visit will be exhilarating and then going back into Pisces will feel stiff and too confining before he makes the official move to Aries. Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy. It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and “Me first!” Does “me” or “we” prevail?

For Capricorn, Uranus will also be moving into your fourth house of real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement planning, and “coming home”. Your home life can become exhilarating and/or chaotic. You could find chaos, electrical problems, rebellion (do you have teenagers at home?), and/or issues with trying to create a calm stable private life (especially with Jupiter also visiting this sector). You can also find that teamwork, friendships, genius, and innovation are part of your home life. A roommate, elderly parent, your retirement plans, your private life, or even the physical home itself could become unpredictable. Something usually happens to shake up our sense of having “roots”. You could lose your parents (literally or figuratively). You could move a lot and feel unsettled and nomadic. You could spend time reuating your childhood issues and find you are forced to work through these issues so that you can finally move on.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a touch of magic to whatever he touches. Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too. He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign. Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes. If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic. If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2010 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your second house. He will stay here until January 2012.

In Aquarius, Neptune is behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus. Uranus is in Neptune’s zodiac sign and Neptune is in Uranus’ zodiac sign. They are each doing their thing, but focusing on the other’s topics. While Uranus is creating brotherhood online, Neptune is trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone. One brings teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brings humanitarian causes to teamwork. One says, “I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player.” The other says, “I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured.” Is it any wonder that “Yes we can” became the global motto in 2008? To some, it is a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible “kool-aid” drinking. To others, it is the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Capricorn, Neptune has been blessing your second house of personal wealth and self-worth. Since Neptune rules over fogginess among other things, he tends to have a “now you see it, now you don’t” affect on the financial sectors. All Capricorns to some extent have been dealing with this over the last few years. Money flows magically into our lives and magically right back out again. Since Neptune also rules over spirituality, mental health, intuition, and charities, it is not surprising that many Capricorns have found that by working in these types of industries, they are finally able to manifest a bit of personal wealth. Any job that brings emotional well-being, compassion, love, and caring into your life is going to be financially beneficial at this time. It is not that you cannot have money; it is that Neptune would rather give you peace of mind and a sense of pride that you took the path of “heart” over the path of “wealth”. In addition, since Neptune does work in magical and paranormal ways, you could have found that for the most part, your material needs were always taken care of even if your bank account lacked impressiveness. Most Capricorns will not get rich per se, unless they are meant to donate large sums to charity organizations. We will all sigh a big relief in early 2012 when Neptune moves on to bless our communications, commerce, and community sector instead.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches. He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign. His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience. It can be painful to endure Pluto’s scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting. Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto’s passage through certain areas of our life. Pluto rules over trust and sharing. It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of. Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves. And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too. All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons. The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto. Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio. From Scorpio’s perspective, nothing could possibly be more important that the ability to trust others.

As 2010 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your first house. He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the thing to do. Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers. Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and “tough love” style life lessons. Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of “tough love”, doing one’s civic duty, and ideas like “If I don’t take care of this, who will?” When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc. Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings. The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality. We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media. Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such. Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world. Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices? Do we have integrity in our government agencies? Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries… do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas? It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc. Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner. We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Capricorn, Pluto is in your first house of self-identity, personality, outer image, and one’s sense of “me”. Pluto rules over trust and sharing, sexual unions, fidelity, joint finances, inheritances, commissions, royalties, stock options, insurances, taxes, lotteries, and other forms of profit sharing. Pluto also rules over Scorpios, passion, psychological secrets, uncovering hidden truths, personal rebirth, the Phoenix Rising, and trusting that tomorrow can be better than today. These things all became gifts for Capricorns to use once Pluto moved into Capricorn. The entire world will be doing these things in a Capricorn manner. This is an extremely passionate personal power for you. You get to borrow Scorpio's tenacity, stamina, and gifts until 2024. You can use it for business, for romance, for leadership roles, for personal healing, and for helping to steer the world into a better direction. Capricorn's motto should be, "If I don't do it, then who will?" People think you are workaholics when in actuality, it is your sense of civic duty and your feeling obligated to look after those you care about that makes you work so hard. Now you have the ability to make incredible changes in your own life and in the lives of those you care about. You could find yourself having Scorpio's sex appeal and an aura of mystery about you. You could also find that you are more attracted to Scorpios as friends, lovers, and business partners, because you can really relate to them at this time.
