I’m Gemini. I got snared into being the conduit between a big corporation and rural African farmers for the exact dates of Pluto in Capricorn. It’s been very hard work, and not a livelihood I wanted, TBH. But I’ve learned a lot and have been able to push the powerful to take care of the weak for 20 years. The last few years especially have been a never-ending stream of crises. But for the sake of the farmers, I have been battling it all to keep everything going. Finally ran into a problem I couldn’t solve- Mother Nature and climate change will always have the last word. On November 19, had final discussions with farmers. Today I have final discussions with the corporation. Massive sense of relief to finally be free. The creative side of my brain (which I always valued the most) has shriveled under the weight of doing accounting in three currencies, international logistics, etc.. I’m free of these shackles, but also have zero income starting 2025. Bought a small farm in central Italy this summer with the premonition that things would be changing drastically in my life. I hope to regain my creativity again, writing and art, and work with plants and regenerative my little corner of the world. Wish me luck that some modest livelihood will also be possible too! The future is still a big unknown, but I am walking toward it!

What an amazing use of the Pluto in Capricorn transit. You have been accounting in three currencies, but also bought an Italian farm. The gift of Pluto is permanent empowerment, strength and resilience. So you will bring that to the Italian countryside now. However the big corporation has gone. You may hear about specific individuals who are also Plutoed by January.

Beautiful Jessica ! I have a Capricorn stellium and I couldn't have lived through this more as your article emphasizes ! I am an Aquarius with a stellium in Aquarius- so grateful for all the teachings of Capricorn to humble me for what is now approaching, well earned lessons that were gifts clearing the way for brighter and less stifling albeit unpredictable days ahead. I will take an unknown over being lorded over any day of the week!

Being 'lorded over' is a really good way to describe Pluto in Capricorn. I was thinking about a general global example of the end of Pluto in Capricorn and it's the end of Elon Musk lording it over Twitter. People are either using it to push traffic to Substack and Bluesky, or just leaving in droves. Nice basic example.

Jessica, on a deeper note than my X 'ultracrepidarians' comment, wow. Your story. I can actually feel it from a couple of recent insights you've shared; the words convey many emotions. What a gifted soul. What hope you bring me. Have the most wonderful Christmas, and I can't wait for the freedom from shackles that have started to shake off now and will continue into '25.

Merry Christmas Ally. Without Pluto in Capricorn, 2025 will be a genuinely new year. And thank you for your kind words.

I'll need a,shadow writer to tell the story of 2008-2024 and make it a Netflix series of family, work, country and personal saga. Encyclopedia-entry. Case study. Am amazed at the accuracy, and I look forward to the new chapter.

I don't, but I can see exactly how this relates to my Leo life.

Wow, Pluto in this Leo's solar sixth house has been a wild ride to say the least. Farewell to the power trippers and players indeed, definitely looking forward to a new season. Thanks for your excellent articles along the way shedding light on what was happening and that there was indeed light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you Jessica,

Hope (I hope) finally. The years 2008-2024 have been extremely hard. I've learned a lot, of course, but the hard way. And as a cherry on top there have been enough bullies and belittlers. SO, when the year 2025 begins, someone disappears completely from the toxic atmosphere and she will focus on her own life! Thank you Jessica!

How would this effect US politics ? Its all Plutocrats in charge now .In fact its Govt for & by the plutocrats no common people representation at all. Also India's Modi and his plutocrats .Only Adani ,Ambani & other crony capitalists matter to Modi & BJP .Hope oppressed ,voiceless people get power some day.

Donald is still awaiting sentencing before he manages to reach inauguration on January 20th, a little over a month away. There is no immunity. His wife Melania will not be living with him - effectively she has separated from him. Adani has been charged with fraud by the US. Pluto has left Capricorn. Pluto is at 0 Aquarius and has 29 degrees and 20 years to go. This is barely two months into the start, Jack.

Thanks good to hear that. Trump is going to Invade "Panama" & threatening Mexico. Trump and hist cult blindly support Israels massacres of Palestinians. Hope "Karma" strikes these two demons.

Fascinating and instructive as always, Jessica. 2008 was the death of my father, and singing at his funeral, the last occasion where I was able to walk as such with only a stick, due to many years of young onset autoimmune RA, v painful, though recently, amazingly, showing small signs of improvement. And then began a whole new path, work and study with Tarot. Have been steeling myself in recent months, this and that. Tough chapters. But ain't that life sometimes. We buckle up, lift up our eyes unto the hills, maybe shout out. Something looks back. Sometimes even answers. Sun in Taurus 9°34' Moon in Leo 9°40' Pluto in rising Virgo 9°39'.

Thank you Katie-Ellen. I am glad you are seeing signs of improvement. And of course your Tarot has empowered you and empowered your readers and clients. The 9 degree factors that matter here are in Taurus and Leo firstly - the fixed square. Then the earth trine from Taurus to Virgo. Jupiter going to 9 Cancer elevates the latter with a relaunch and reboot and Jupiter at 9 Leo will eventually fix any entrenched issues with finance or property.

I left my toxic job end of November and started a brand new job on 02nd December. Everything you said about being “plutoed” is what happened to me and I’m glad it’s past me now

Thank god! Yes Pluto has been a real bummer since 2008. I was just thinking how different I am since BPC(before Pluto cap). It’s been grueling but there were also some fun moments and so much I have learned thru it all tho I miss some things I had before (mainly financial). So many life changes. I have a many 9 degree factors (9 Taurus moon, 9 cancer Venus, 10 Pluto Virgo, 9 Aries MC, 9 Libra IC, 10 Taurus Hygeia, 9 Scorpio psyche). Can you advise how this fresh start may affect my life? Thank you, Jessica.

I like B.P.C. as an era and it looks as though a lot of readers here can relate, Erin. The line-up at 9 degrees is about finance, your house or apartment, your lifestyle too. When Jupiter goes to 9 Cancer there are rare opportunities to make or save money via a particular home, holiday home or real estate investment - perhaps, land. The second half of 2025 and first half of 2026 open the door.

I have Sun 8 Cancer Moon 6 Libra and Uranus 9 Libra. My chart is also almost exactly aligned with the natural house system. Pluto played hardball with my domestic living arrangements and the work I did as part of those arrangements. That domestic partnership began and ended under Pluto in Capricorn. The end of that physical situation however did not mean that all was resolved at an energetic level, that has been its own process. The tension between my Cancer and Capricorn and Libra placements has continued to play out in a different, subtler way since then, which has not been easy. With Pluto and Ceres out of Capricorn now for good, I just want to put down that fight. I have reclaimed my sense of self out of it all - and now I just want to reclaim my sense of home and my place in the world.

You have a Cardinal T-Square which is very hard work, so well done on getting through all the transits. You can put down the fight. And of course Jupiter going to 8 Cancer shortly, will give you a huge opportunity to shine brightly with renovations, redecoration or real estate.
