 Also yet to come are Pluto’s travel through Capricorn from 2008 - 2024, and the Cardinal Climax (9) of
2010 - 2015 .  These astrological events especially indicate a fundamental shift in world socioeconomic and political order, a shift analogous to bifurcation in Chaos Theory. To appreciate the potential correspondences of these coming Pluto events, consider their historic precedents. Pluto’s most recent passage through Capricorn was 1762 - 1778 - during that period, both the Industrial Revolution and the American Revolution began.  Also, a planetary pattern similar to the coming Cardinal Climax last occurred from 1930 - 1933, the years of the Great Depression and sociopolitical antecedents to World War II.

     To leave this overview on a positive note, recall that 2020 brings the Mutation Conjunction of Jupiter/Saturn in Aquarius. This conjunction fully establishes the 200 years global development theme that focuses civilization on ideas, information, communication, and relationships, a focus that carries into the 23rd Century. As I noted in my Summer 2001 and Fall 2002 articles, our responses and decisions now - as individuals and societies - are our collective future in the making.
