What's Happening
Saturn and Pluto are dancing around in opposition to one another for the next 10 months. The peaks of this process are displayed in their exact aspects, which occur three times—on August 5, 2001, November 2, 2001, and May 26, 2002.
The Full Moon is the prototype opposition. It is the culmination, or flowering, of seeds planted at the conjunction (or New Moon). There is maximum light then, and we can see and feel the process of the cycle. Understanding is at a peak.
One thing is certain about a Saturn-Pluto opposition. Pluto WILL transform Saturn’s carefully built structures, and Saturn WILL resist. This tends to be a difficult combination, with often harsh measures (which neither Pluto nor Saturn shy away from) necessary to effect the transformation, or needed growth.
A process of major STRUCTURAL CHANGE always accompanies a Saturn-Pluto opposition, which occurs at 31-38 year intervals. The last one occurred in 1965, and the one before that in 1931, the beginning of the Great Depression. Great historical movements occur with this opposition. |
