Do you still think Astrology is Sci-Fi?

The End of the Pluto in Capricorn Era

By Shanon Angermeyer NormanPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 2 min read

Not a lot of people know this, but my very first "side gig" was as a Fortune Teller named Zoe Mav. I would read palms, tarot cards, crystals, and analyze astrology charts for those mystics who were either entertained by the idea or were true wiccans. Many faithful scientists called my interest in such "occult" practices "hogwash" and said that astrology was not as truthful as astronomy. After acing Astronomy in college, I put Zoe Mav on the shelf as I pursued a teaching career. I kept my eye on both Astrology and Astronomy, and through the years I discovered that quacks are found in both practices. I guess the new millenium isn't so much a search for truth as having to hone skills in deciphering the difference between useful journalism and/or literature as opposed to "fake news" or "misleading ad campaigns". Science has proven to be as flaky as any other once revered and upheld subject. Sorry if that disappoints you.

Yesterday as I was checking on some quick astrology notes, I discovered that Pluto was in Capricorn from 2008 until it began leaving in 2023. This year 2024 and definitely beginning in 2025, those who have been affected by the vibes of Pluto in Capricorn, will experience a major shift that could look like personality changes, different life paths, and a relief from major pressure or stress that period may have caused. For Wiccans and Astrologists, we are advised to reflect on that time period from 2008 to 2023 for introspection regarding our personal character developments, trials and tribulations, and the sum of those lessons. Quick joke: I think Pluto in Capricorn was a lot more stressful than Mercury in Retrograde. Haha, my fellow Wiccans should enjoy that one.

It should be noted that the last time Pluto was in Capricorn was in the 1700s and it will not occur again until around 2275. Normal human mortality rate would conclude that we won't be around the next time it happens unless we are immortal vampires or quantum leap jumpers.

Taking this information to a personal level, my introspection of the time period leads me to a conclusion such as this: I'm done pretending that crazy isn't crazy. If you call me "crazy" so be it, then don't expect me to act "normal". If you call me "normal", then don't expect me to act "crazy". If you treat me like a ragdoll, then don't expect me to show up in Versace. If you treat me like a lady, then don't expect me NOT to get offended when you expect unladylike behavior. Your contradictions and mind games over me are over. Pluto is out of Capricorn, and so are your ridiculous pompous manipulations. You know who you are, and you know what you've done to me. No finger pointing necessary. No dunce caps required.

My introspection of Pluto in Capricorn beginning in 2008 (as Obama became the President of my country) until 2023 as his VP Biden with Commiela got canned for doing more nothing than ever, leads me to a final verdict of "Good riddance!" Homeless shelters, street parties, riots, and fake hippies with lunatic protest signs can all go where the sun don't shine. Bye Bye Bye. I'll be dancing with Mercury in Retrograde.
