Pluto in Capricorn and Mumbai Terrorist Attack

Pluto has shown us its power this week with a tragic event of death and destruction. On November 26, 2008, 2300 local time, several areas of Mumbai, India were simultaneously attacked by a group calling itself Deccan Mujahideen. The media has reported that the terrorist attack in Mumbai, India is the greatest global attack this year.

Hotels, cafés, people in the street, and a community center were targeted and the death toll as of 11/29/2008 is 195. The attack lasted until November 29 when the terrorists were finally overtaken and hostages released.

Pluto entered Capricorn 11/26/08, 8:03 pm EST, 1:03 AM GMT, 6:33 AM IST (Indian Time which is 5:30 hours later than GMT). This is called an ingress. Frequently, as a planet leaves one sign to enter another, a mundane event ties the two signs together. Pluto in Sagittarius is about terrorism, and Pluto in Capricorn is about structure (buildings) and things that are old. India is among one of the oldest of our cultures.

In mundane astrology, India is ruled by Capricorn, and this is an astrological connection to Pluto in Capricorn. The first major event of any ingress often gives us an idea as to what can happen, as a planet traverses a sign. Pluto will be in Capricorn for 17 years until 2025. Pluto has been in Sagittarius since 1995.

To make matters worse, Uranus was stationing at the start of the attack and went direct on November 27, 2008. Uranus is the planet of rebels. Uranus comes in unexpectedly and creates chaos. We are still in range of the Saturn Uranus opposition, which coincided with the American presidential election of November 4, 2008, and the stock market dive of October 2008.


In Mundane Astrolgy planetary aspects are usually activated by the new or full Moon. A New Moon in Sagittarius, the sign of foreigners, occured on November 27, 2008.

Mumbai was known previously as Bombay. The name was changed by an act of the Indian parliament in 1997.

The Number 11

One of my readers has asked about the negativity that is prevalent now and how it relates to the number 11. She has been seeing the number 11 everywhere and is scheduled to go on a trip on 11/11. Many of the websites say that the number 11 is associated with impending doom, but 11 is much more than doom.

11 is a very powerful number; it is a master number that indicates that you are being tested in some way, usually by hidden trials, such as your emotional feelings about the trip, but that does not mean that you will attract only dire events.

We are all in a shifting phase on our planet seeing both good and bad.

I live in the US and the election is bringing up fear and doom. I have seen families break up over this election.

Compare your reaction to negative events to the act of mining gold and stirring up sludge and finding ugly little particles. You have to go through it to get to the real gold. With fear you must go through the same process. The fear is meant to be released or strained off. You don't throw out the gold, just clean it up.

If you read Linda Goodman's book, Star Signs, she writes that the 11 means that two forces must unite. The difficulty comes from the "illusion" of separation.

In my words, I say this is separtaton from Source, God, Higher Power. You don't have to walk the Earth on your own. That's the hard way.

All of us are being given guidance to look for ways to go to a higher level on our spiritual evolutionary path. Your guidance is knocking on your awareness. It always get louder, and louder, and louder, until you you pay attention and are willing to recieve love and guidance from source.

Start looking for good things, pay attention to them and appreciate them. Where you put your attention and how you work with your intention is important now. Even your desire to face your fears makes a big difference. Facing fear is one of the biggest things we can all can do right now. Don't get mental, just acknowledge and feel negative emotions.

You will pass the test by wanting the best for yourself and others, and working for it. Work is different than in the past, think of doing your work with ease and grace.

We are ending a 26,000 year cycle. For the past 13,000 years we have been asleep, now we are waking up. We are in an ascending Kali Yuga phase.

Everything that happens now is more powerful and 11 becomes even more powerful on November, 11 (11/11). On 11/11 all of us can tap into this energy to help ourselves and the planet on this spiritual evolutionary path.

November 11, is one of the most powerful days of the year. Take advantage of this day through meditation, affirmations, focus, intention, prayer, or go on a trip.

Good luck and good wishes and enjoy your trip
