PLUTO AND JUPITER CONJUNCT IN SAGITTARIUS
Mythic Traditions of Pluto & Jupiter
Nearly 3,000 years ago Homer told how Jupiter overthrew Saturn, his father, with the help of Neptune and Pluto. A new order came into being and the brothers divided up the realms of the Earth amongst themselves. Pluto drew the lot of the underworld, the realm of darkness.
As lord of death and rebirth, Pluto is the silent, invisible brother, who removes himself from worldly affairs, yet ironically, he senses and governs collective life at its deepest levels. Pluto is caretaker of what lies underground - secrets, shame, buried passions, unexpressed grief, negative feelings, simmering rivalries and rage, revenge, betrayal, and critical issues that remain uncompleted between both allies and enemies.

PLUTO AND JUPITER CONJUNCT IN SAGITTARIUS!!!
By Guru Rattana, Ph.D.
December 11 Pluto conjuncts Jupiter at 28 degrees Sagittarius. Not
only will the Sagittarius New Moon be intensified, our lives may
well be revamped at the core! The Great Benefit (Jupiter) and the
Lord of the Underworld (Pluto) rendez-vous every 13 years. The last
time Pluto and Jupiter met in Sagittarius was November 10, 1758.
This is a very significant occurrence, the lasting results of which
will be known only in retrospect.
Pluto and Jupiter are indeed an auspicious pair. But to take
advantage of this duo, the nature of their dynamic needs to be
understood. Jupiter is the benefic God of Light. Jupiter is the
astrological Santa Clause. Its bag of goodies knows no limit. But
with Pluto we should not be so quick to jump to conclusions about
lottery style rewards. Pluto requires that we earn our good luck by
cleaning up our mess and clearing out the debris. Santa Clause can't
scurry down a clogged chimney.
Pluto is dark, deep and penetrating. There is no limit to Pluto's
depth. When Jupiter and Pluto collaborate, they can unleash powerful
regenerative healing, and hypnotically manifest great wealth. Their
range of operation reaches both beyond the Stars and into the
impenetrable depths of the cosmic black hole and our subconscious.
This amazing combination is bound to make a lasting and pervasive
impact, however it is expressed, in our personal and collective
lives.
PROFOUND AND LASTING TRANSFORMATION
The Pluto/Jupiter conjunction can best be understood as a long-term
process of evolutionary transformation. It is not a one day or even
a short-term event. We feel its impact months before and after the
exact alignment. The conjunction will make a lasting mark, but it is
difficult to know exactly what that will be. There is no doubt
however that radical and accelerated change is going to be a
major theme.
The conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto exposes overindulgences,
hypocrisies and false assumptions. Once the truth is revealed, we
are obliged (Pluto) and encouraged (Jupiter) to reorder our
priorities, reform our lives, and make major shifts in
consciousness. Pluto forces us to deal with powerful unconscious
energies so that we can productively utilize the forces that lie
hidden within us. Pluto unleashes primal fears and obsessions, which
when faced can bring deep understanding and profound transformation.
Optimistic Jupiter favors our personal expansion and abundance.
Pluto and Jupiter conjoined in their highest expressions can usher in
regeneration, generosity and wisdom. Change is inevitable. How
change happens will be determined by our level of consciousness and
the choices we make. We do have the option of working together for
the highest good of all.
SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION November 24, 2007

Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction, Part One:
Forget about silent nights—nothing is calm about the 2007 holiday season, and this week, the stars set the stage for a tempestuous finale to an already too intense year. Please forgive me if I sound dramatic, but I’m actually not exaggerating. December’s sky burns with Divine Fire. And its heat tempers activities, as well as attitudes. Consider this week and the coming weeks a purification ritual, a catharsis, personal and collective. But be aware, this cleansing is not only an intellectual process. The astral tumult brings deep feelings to the surface of daily life—and they won’t just sit there. Which means most of us will be searching for resolution, relief, and redemption from the red threads of persistent karmic themes. And don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re exempt. Hubris will only make matters worse. We are in the season of soul work, and the best tool for the task at hand is humility.
The source of this healing crisis is a Jupiter/Pluto conjunction, in Sagittarius, which is exact on December 11. This conjunction occurs at the end of Pluto’s cycle through Sagittarius and it will not happen again in Sagittarius until 2244, which makes its current effect all the more extraordinary. And because all of us have Sagittarius somewhere in our individual birth charts, each of us will feel the intensity of this conjunction somewhere in our lives.
Jupiter represents good fortune, expansion, and excess. It rules Sagittarius, which is the Sign of the Zodiac that signifies global communication, classical traditions from every culture, as well as belief systems, philosophic and religious. Pluto is the principle of transformation and represents the process of death and resurrection. When Pluto journeys through any Sign, it reveals the entire spectrum represented by that Sign, including its gifts, as well as its challenges. And over the next several weeks, this column will focus on some of the specifics of Pluto’s cycle through Sagittarius and how they relate to current circumstances.
But for now, it’s enough to know the conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto will magnify, electrify, amplify, and intensify just about everything, and that intensification is likely to translate into the need to act or react on impulse. While it won’t be easy to think before you speak, try. We are actually in the midst of a cosmic test on thirteen years of transformational work, and there are no multiple-choice answers. Because Sagittarius symbolizes the process of integration, one of the ways to gauge your grade is to contemplate how well you can walk your talk. Don’t expect a perfect score. Levels of anxiety many of us thought were long gone are likely to reappear, along with old flames or missed opportunities.
But don’t despair—this is a healing process. So give yourself permission to purify body, mind, heart, and soul. And when possible, give your fellow travelers the same permission. Remember, we’re all feeling the heat of December’s Divine Fire.
Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction, Part Two:
The planets continue to temper the mettle of mere mortals. The conjunction between Jupiter and Pluto is exact on December 11, and this week, as the gap tightens, life on earth takes on a preternatural atmosphere. Psychic sensitivity flares up, making many of us uncannily accurate about who’s on the phone, before it even rings, and what will be said before it’s even clear to the caller. Try not to mistake these gifts for the true spiritual “thing.” Jupiter’s farewell kiss to Pluto parts the veils of consciousness and allows many dimensions to be felt simultaneously, with increasing clarity. But don’t let it freak you out—it is only of the moment and just possibly meant to stimulate curiosity about the multitude of realms we cannot see but definitely feel. Remember, this is a test on personal participation in a thirteen-year cycle of transformation. And the only “right” answers are authentic answers.
Pluto’s transit through Sagittarius began in January 17, 1995, and the first end of that cycle occurs on January 25, 2008, when Pluto enters Capricorn. Yes, Pluto retrogrades back into Sagittarius next year, but the end of that retrograde will not have the same impact. We will have tasted Pluto, in Capricorn, which will have already catalyzed a new journey of consciousness, and the second ending isn’t punctuated by a Jupiter/Pluto conjunction. Remember, Pluto is transformation, and it will have already started the next process.
For the last thirteen years, as Pluto journeyed through Sagittarius, it transformed global communication into a transformative tool. The Internet united us and we actually became a global village. Well…sort of more like a global marketplace. Pluto always reveals shadows, and one of the shadows of global communication visible under Pluto’s presence is the sordid side of cyberspace. While the Internet is a fantastic tool for research and connection, it has also become a dumping ground. It’s all too easy to download the entire contents of psyche, personal and collective, into a virtual vacuum without an understanding of how the psychic transfer might impact the new world of nowhere. Just as the explorers and missionaries infected indigenous peoples with disease, so, too, the electronic world has its germs, and those viruses have infected minds and hearts. Too many of us can no longer delineate fact from fiction and truth from tale, even the wisest among us have a hard time contextualizing the data. But forget about being intellectually capable. One of on the biggest lessons of Pluto in Sagittarius is how ill equipped most of us are to handle the intensity of that psychic and emotional overload from too much information. And nothing is private.
During this week of heightened psychic insight, contemplate your response to the digital age, as well as your relationship to privacy. Is it wise to share everything? What constitutes too much information? Are there other remedies to isolation and loneliness? Is it possible to create healthy boundaries in cyberspace? Remember, there are no “right” answers to Pluto’s questions—there is just the truth each of us holds in our heart. And in keeping with the Sagittarian theme of diversity, there is also the hope for mutual respect coupled with compassion for all sentient beings
