Reaching Your Greatest Potential: Pluto In Capricorn and the Meaning of 2012

It was 2008.   The world was at the bottom of a steep mountain with nowhere else to look but up.  We start our journey on a road with loose footing, and the daunting task of finding the trail.  It is always a battle starting from the bottom and finding our way to the top.  2008 was the end of aiming high (Pluto in Sagittarius) and the beginning of climbing to the top (where we were aiming.)

Pluto is where the power truly is.  Transformation, is the main goal of wherever Pluto is.  From 1995 – 2008, Pluto spent his time in Sagittarius.  During this period, Pluto transformed our beliefs, brought big ideas to the surface and changed how high we aim.  Sagittarius is where we aim, or at least where we come up with the big idea of where to aim.  Capricorn is quite different. Instead of coming up with the “idea” of where to aim, Capricorn is about actually achieving a goal and making it to the top of the mountain.  With Pluto now at home in Capricorn, (since 2008) and transforming our goals through 2024, we find ourselves on the journey to the top of the mountain.

I have to say, Pluto has not been considered a friend to many.   He digs deep and exposes the truth,  sheds the skin off our lives in order to expose the fresh and the new.  Even though Pluto is the God of the Underworld, his darkness is what actually brings light.  It is hard for us to deal with his unforgiving ways of exposing what needs to die.  Death is not a fun place, the dark is scary in a world full of so much light.  In order to go to heaven as many believe, or to move on to the next life, or transcend to another dimension, we must die to move on to our next journey.   It is in this world of polar opposites that we must chuckle at the irony of such things.

If you take a look around your own life, the world that surrounds you and the drama that surrounds our everyday life, it seems everything is about reaching the top.  Capricorn rules goals, ambitions, career, plans, structure and all the traits of how you reach the top.  Whatever goal it is we have in our lives, we can not reach it without a responsible plan, structure and the ambition to look high and reach the top.  With Pluto here, the world truly is coming up with its big plans and starting the long road upward.  Our own goals are being planned and executed, but at the pace of Capricorn and Pluto.

The Planet Pluto and the sign Capricorn do quite well together.  They create some true magic, or better said, they move mountains.  Both are slow but make long-lasting impacts.  Capricorn is taking the conservative road, making sure you don’t waste away all that you have, so you actually make it to the top.  Pluto takes the longest to go around the Sun, his work does take the longest.  Pluto eats away at us slowly and is usually hard to notice in the short-term. It is the sum of many small changes that create a long-lasting big change!

So, what should we expect to happen during this time period?  I have put lot’s of deep thought into this subject, done lot’s of history and quite frankly have been watching the transit of Pluto very carefully.  I want to start out with the concept: The Power to Control.

Most astrologers use the alignment of 1776.  During this time period, the American revolution begun.  Pluto in Capricorn changes the structure of our world.  Most astrologers agree that Pluto rules government, some believe it is Capricorn.  The Mongolian empire reached its peak in the Pluto in Capricorn transit of the 1200′s.  History shows us great change in the power of control.  The structure of our governments are changed, old plans and structures are deemed old and tired and then killed.  Order is usually changed as well.  To obtain order, we need disorder to rearrange the plans.  History and the present, show us how order is changing.  It was taxation without representation in the 1770′s.  Now we deal with debt and a loss of control with our tax money.  I see big changes happening with how we structure our government, the power of control will reach its peak and a new plan for our nation will come together.

Like I said earlier, Pluto exposes the truth.  The reason for this is the sign of Scorpio, which rules Pluto.  Every Scorpio you know holds trust as one of their most sacred traits.  Scorpio people know a lie before you say it.  Pluto does the same thing.  The governments of the world, the plans, goals and structure in our own lives, are at the mercy of Pluto.  Deceit, lies and the secrets we carry, especially in the areas of control are going to be exposed.  Watch the world, as more lies are exposed and the truth will be told.  Pluto makes small moves but long strides.  Expect small exposures to lead to a big overall exposure of deceit in the name of control.

The most important part of the next 12 years is to stay on your goals.  The higher the ambition, the taller the mountain you will climb.  The universe has aligned all of us to reach as high as we can, especially in this time period.  We all will change through our aspirations.  In many ways, it is our careers that hold the goals in our lives.  One thing I want to add about Capricorn deals with recognition.  We are recognized by who reaches the top of the mountain first, or reaches the “tallest” mountain, or in some cases the “greatest” mountain.  In your life, this means the greater the goal, the greater the recognition, the greater the change.  Pluto is changing the rules, how we reach the top and what the recognition of reaching our benchmarks is.  We will come out of this cycle with a new outlook at what it means to reach the top of the mountain.

With this power you can reach anything you truly want.  The road to the top is unpaved, long and some spots are strenuous.  Capricorn is a serious sign, there are no fun and games in this space.  Responsibility is probably the greatest factor in this period.  We all are not responsible in some part of our life, this period is killing off what does not work anymore.  For the last 200 + years we have been reaching for the benchmarks we set back then.  We have reached that mountain top.  It is time for our world to set new goals, new responsibilities and new control.  A new world order is coming, how it will turn out is completely in the hands of us as a whole.

2012 is really about setting the intentions we want to reach as humanity.  Why do you think 2012 falls on December 21,  zero degree Capricorn?  This aspect is the center of the universe, where Sagittarius and Capricorn meet.  This is where aiming high meets going high.  Where the archer points and where the goat reaches the top.  The universe is a vast energy field of light and dark, positive and negative, yes and no.   We will never reach the end of the universe because after the big bang, the light still travels and never stops.  Since that time, the light has never stopped and we will never out run that light.  It will keep going on and on and we will never catch up.  With all the doom and gloom about 2012, consciously observe that for a moment.  Nothing ends, life keeps going.  Our world is about to change the foundation on what it was built, to finally set the goal of what we are here to do, how high will we reach.  The age of Aquarius is the age of humanity.  2012 is about setting the goals humanity is going to reach.

There are many other factors at play including planets in transit and the conscious awareness that is spreading.  The greatest events always can be described by the simplest of things.  December 21, 2012  is when the Sun moves into Capricorn.  The consciousness, the awareness and how the world expresses itself on that day, is to reach the top and set a goal.  With all the other transits, factors and theories, the astrology is truly that simple.  When you sit and observe everything and become one with the source, it all makes sense.   It is time to look at one another and realize we are in this together.  It is not the car they drive, the bank account balance and the status they have.  It is becoming one and helping everyone out as we journey together to the top.  It is time for you, me and us to each high, make a plan and be responsible.   It is time to journey to the top of mountain and achieve the recognition you truly deserve from God.

As an astrologer I am here to express and interpret what the planets and universe is telling us.  All I want in my life is to get my message to you and inspire you to be hopeful, to be happy and to live your life the way it was intended to, full of love.  Wipe that frown off your chin, take that negative thought and flush it down the toilet.   We are here to journey to the top of the greatest journey ever told.  Get those boots on and keep on marching.  The journey starts today.  The past doesn’t matter anymore, what matters is the plan you make for yourself, and the plan we make together.  If you need me for some direction of what the universe has in store for your journey, reach out to me on my website for a reading http://david-palmer.com

2012 Neptune in Pisces: The Astrology of the Iranian Witch Trials

In February of 1692 when Jupiter was in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces, the Salem Witch trials began. In 2 weeks we will be in the same placements.  On February 2, 2012 Neptune moves into Pisces while we still have the placement of Jupiter in Taurus.  I wonder who is of scrutiny now?  Maybe, website creators?  Country leaders?  Looking back on the witch trials, many people were convicted and executed because of their beliefs and practices.  Religious beliefs were not on the same page and towns used death to judge them.  We now look back to see how wrong this was.  What are we going to scrutinize today?  To one day look back, hundreds of years later and go, oh no!

Maybe Iran is in the picture?  Who really knows?  But the next time you see trials or tribulations of a group of people, ask yourself, if this really is right?  Due to popular demand, we tend to take sides very easily.  Most of the wars we go into, views of spirituality, and in recent decades, the color of your skin are judged and shunned upon.   This is a time to reflect on our history and see how things went.  This synchronicity of Jupiter in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces coming up. brings this example to surface.

There is a ton of evidence that supports the country of Iran of being an Aries, as well as having an Aries rising.  This to me signals the Uranus in Aries transit occurring now and during the next 5 months of Jupiter in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces.  I feel as if Iran is on trial and we are witnessing a similar parallel.   I personally have my own views of what is happening with relations between USA – Israel  – Iran, but this in not a article about those.

It has been a long time coming since we had this alignment, the last time was in 1857.  We had The Panic of 1857, setting off one of the most severe economic crises in U.S. history. (Sounds familiar?) I have a feeling the Euro will be part of the next 5 months as well.  Maybe a worldwide panic as countries in the Euro may succeed.   The reasons I bring up countries not getting along, is because the last time we had these alignments, The United States was setting the domino’s up for collapse in the dawn of a Civil War.

In 1858 when Jupiter moved into Gemini a man by the name of Abraham Lincoln accepted the Republican Party nomination for a seat in the US Senate, delivering his “House Divided” speech in Springfield, Illinois.  It would be that year he would enter in the Lincoln-Douglas debates.  A seven debate series debating for control of the Illinois Legislature.  (How interesting that Newt Gingrich is challenging Obama in a series of debates).  2 years later as Jupiter Moved into Cancer and Leo, He would win the nomination as President of the United States and be the first Republican president.  A year later, the country would be in Civil War.

My point is, in the state we are in, the alignment of the astrology over the next couple years, we need to keep our minds, eyes, and ears open.  Look at the parallels of what is happening now.

1. Iran on trial for developing Nuclear energy, just like pretty much any other major county.  This is sparking hate from different parts of the world and causing tensions in the Middle East.

2. The financial crisis around the world.  The Euro is affecting the USA in a dramatic way, look how the crises was last time we had this alignment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_of_1857  USA seems like it will sustain.  March 14th 2012 is a Grand Trine and I think this will boost the US economy in a large way, or do completely the opposite.

3. The country divided.  Everything from religion, gay rights, Democrat or Republican. Rich or Poor.  This division is tearing us apart and if we do not fix this we are headed down the same road as 1861.

4. My last blog goes into depth about the other transits that are parallel. http://djdavidpalmer.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/2012-the-history-of-the-astrology-and-the-transits-coming-up/

This is a great time of new connections, especially with our intuitions and connecting with the universe.  I picked these transits out because they do not come all the time.  I wanted to shed light on what happened the last 2 times we were in this placement.

Side Note:

January 23 2012 Mars goes retrograde in Virgo.  The speed will slow down, your courage will be tested, and most important, your life will be re organized…in a way it hasn’t for a long time.  The dust and scraps under rug are being cleaned…be ready.  This will be for 3 months, when you feel like you don’t have the energy, take a seat and muster up the courage from within and know that this is almost over.

February 2 2012 Neptune moves into Pisces.  Observe the new change that surrounds you, most likely your 6th sense will sharpen and your intuition will help guide the way.  Listen more to your gut, tune out the noise in your head.

March 14 2012 Get ready for a major shift.  A grand trine with Mars in Virgo trining Jupiter and Venus Conjunct in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn.  All happening at 9 degrees.  I will write a separate article on this event.  Mark your calender.  This will be a positive shift that will make things happen.  Manifest what you want now!

2012: The History of the Astrology and the Transits Coming Up

Attn: Astrology Community and 2012 Seekers

The Saturn and Neptune trine is at the strongest point very shortly. It is time to take your highest dreams and bring them down here to Earth. I feel the beginning of change starts with this alignment. No longer can dreams be dreams, they must be structured and come down to Earth. More important it is time to decide what those dreams are. I feel this way because the signs of Libra and Aquarius bring balance, harmony and the connection of people and society together. It is not a coincidence  that we are more connected than ever as Neptune (Dreams, Connection, Intuition) leaves Aquarius (Society, People, Humanity) and Moves into the home sign for Neptune, Pisces. Facebook, the internet and all the great connection of Humanity came during this long 14 year transit (1998-2012) Before the age of Aquarius comes reality, we must learn to connect to Pisces for the final time. One of last ways of finishing the Age Of Pisces is to completely go back into the realm.

The last time we were in the Neptune in Pisces transit we had a gold rush, (The first gold was actually discovered at the same position Neptune is now in final degrees of Aquarius) postage stamps were issued for the first time (How ironic they are now going away and the postal service is dying) the Mexican-American war formally ends (Same time as right now, a couple of weeks before Neptune enters Pisces, Iraq wars ends same time over 150 years later..) Zachary Taylor of the Whig Party wins the Presidential election defeating Democrat Presidential hopeful Lewis Cass. (Who knows maybe a new or independent party will beat Obama? The current President Polk at the time would not run again due to health and making all of his goals happen in his 1st term) Polk was the first President to have his picture taken! (Very Pisces) The U.S. Congress passes the Gold Coinage Act allowing the minting of gold coins, Zachary Taylor refuses to be sworn in office on a Sabbath (Sunday). Urban legend holds that David Rice Atchison, President pro tempore of the United States Senate was President de jure for a single day. (Very weird!) Edgar Allen Poe is born during this time as well as outlaw Jesse James. Near the end of the Neptune in Pisces transit in 1861, the civil war would start in America. It feels like our Country is headed down this road, we live in a place where we can’t decide if gay people should have full rights, religion is judging people and both sides of our political system are on opposite ends…I hope I am wrong.

The above transit was all in the first and second time Neptune went into Pisces and out of Aquarius. In 1847-1849 this happened 3 times. We only get this twice and the second time happens in 3 weeks from today, Feb 3-4 2012. It will be exactly the same time The Mexican American war ended. 164 years and 1 day to be exact…WOW the Exact time that Neptune went into Pisces for the second time, just as we having now! You can not write or make this stuff up! What is important as well is the fact that Uranus was in Aries for all these transits explained above, just like it is for us now, this makes for even more of the same repeat of events to happen in a 2012 fashion.

The last time Uranus was in Aries was 1927 – 1929 when Uranus did his in and out of Pisces into Aries. Since 2010 we have been through the same transit. Some interesting events that happened last time we had this alignment: The crash of the stock market Oct 1929 (hmmm sounds familiar, this July we have the hardest square of Uranus and Pluto at the same degree as the stock market crash) 1929 Palestine riots breaks out between Palestinians and Jews and continues until the end of the month. In total, 133 Jews and 116 Palestinians are killed. (Hmm sounds familiar what is happening now) and Steamboat Willie with Mickey Mouse is first sound film! Radical things happen with Uranus in Aries. We now must start over, Aries is the beginning where Pisces is the end. New things begin in a radical way, we now identify and become new. Uranus means to innovate and most importantly try new things. World War 2 was also started with this alignment, it looks as if we are down this road, the whole Iran, Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia crisis is all about gains like WW2 was. Let us not forget China and Russia, crazy because they are threatening us with higher oil prices (Pisces rules fuel) and will blame it all on Iran to start a WW3. Just saying! Poor Iran I feel bad for people who believe our propaganda, Iran is full of beautiful people, rich history (one of the oldest countries in the world) and based around their roots. Every Iranian person I know is the most sincere and some of the most beautiful souls on the planet. Please don’t be a Michelle Bachmann.

I would like to finish with adding that in the late 1840s when Neptune entered Pisces, Uranus was in Aries like it is happening now, but Pluto was in Aries too. We unfortunately have Uranus in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn in the present time. In June as the square gets to a strong point, we have Jupiter moving into Gemini. June will be the WTF month so mark your calendars. February will bring the change in the air we are craving but before we get ahead of ourselves I started with the business of making our dreams reality. Our dreams that we connect with, our imagination is what will bring Humanity and society the final touches of what we need. The end of a 14 year transit in Aquarius brings our greatest imaginations out for society and humanity to become a better place. This Saturn trine makes us work, structure and decide what those dreams are and make them reality. You have some weeks to finalize and believe me they will come together like you would never imagined. Saturn can make things feel restricted or like your dreams are not going to come true, the illusion is, they can! Just make them realistic now. Pisces and magicians always have the hardest time make their fantasies real, but when they do, they change us in a way nothing else can.

I love you all and offer my service of astrology to the world. To be born with this gift is something I cherish and I feel being the Paul Revere is important in today’s world. Speaking your mind is crucial in a world full of propaganda, pop culture and a political system that is corrupt. All we have is each other and the common ground of being human. To judge someone based off any religion is wrong and this country needs a big dose of reality check. It doesn’t matter the race, religion, background or political party you are, what does matter is that we are coming to a point of great change and everyone must do their part. What will you do? I choose to speak and use my spiritual gifts of astrology and history to help change the world. Thank you.

Welcome! The New Blog of Astrologer David Palmer

Welcome! Thank you for viewing my blog!  I will be posting here on WordPress as well as the blog on my website, http://www.david-palmer.com

I have created this blog to let the world know the information I have to share about astrology.  I am going to start a video that goes along with my blogs and those will be posted on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and http://www.david-palmer.com

INCLUSIVE ASTROLOGY

Let me start this blog by describing my ideals in astrology.  I have developed two different readings.  The first is my reading called, “Inclusive Astrology”.  Like Mundane Astrology, Inclusive brings the collective energies into interpretation but adds the last level of astrology we need to include in our consciousness.  Sure we have our natal chart, our solar astrology but we need the inclusive as well.  How the energies of the planets affect our collective energies is the last key to completing the exciting adventures our soul experiences here on Earth. Inclusive describes “all” better than mundane.

The definition of mundane : mun·dane Adjective/ˌmənˈdān/

1. Lacking interest or excitement; dull.

2. Of this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one. I feel that Astrology is VERY exciting and I interpret my inclusive readings in an earthly world that is heavenly and spiritual.

The definition of inclusive: in.clu.sive Adjective/ [in-kloo-siv]

1. Including the stated limit or extremes in consideration or account: from 6 to 37 inclusive.

2. Including a great deal, or including everything concerned; comprehensive: an inclusive art form; an inclusive fee.

In Inclusive Astrology I include all the energy of the universe and EVERYTHING concerned.

I will be posting the video on Inclusive Astrology this week.  Once you see how I read Inclusive Astrology with Solar and Natal Charts, you will be blown away!

TARGET ASTROLOGY

Target Astrology is a reading I have developed to get you on YOUR path.  Being a Leo, Leo Rising, Mercury in Leo, and Venus in Leo with Jupiter in my fifth house; astrologically speaking as an astrologer, I am the person that will get you on YOUR dream path.  In lament terms, after being on National TV multiple times, falling in love with the love of my life and having all my dreams come true, there is no better astrologer that will get you on the dream path you have always dreamed of!  Using an aim and a focus on a targeted area, together we will use the astrological techniques I have used to get on my path.  With Target Astrology you name the dream and we focus on the path.  Whether it’s something in the present, past of future, we will use Natal Astrology, Solar Astrology, my own “Inclusive Astrology”, Solar Return Charts, Progressed Charts and Horary Astrology to paint the bull’s eye on your dream!
