“I was obliged to be industrious.  Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well.” Johannes Sebastian Bach


The fiery red planet Mars, signifying energy in the physical body, enters ambitious Capricorn today (6:49 pm EST), the sign of its exaltation, where it will stay until January 15, 2011.

Mars, which additionally governs the aggressive urge, is “tamed” or more “restrained,” when in Saturn’s neck of the woods.  Disciplinarian Saturn rules Capricorn, a sign associated with authority, business, and people in high places. Keywords for Capricorn are: “I use.” Mars in Capricorn is hugely talented at utilizing all of the resources at its disposal to get ahead.  Mars in Capricorn can be very “pioneering” and “enterprising” in business.  It is often a signature of an “executive.”

And, yes, on the shadow side, Capricorn energy can be equated with being “manipulative” or orchestrating situations to get an “unfair advantage” from time to time. No question about it, Capricorn does like its power, and the feeling of power, and doesn’t like being without it. So that is one thing we have to be careful about with Mars here.  That we don’t ride roughshod over others in our quest to get, or keep, our high-profile seat in the boardroom. Although, Mars in Capricorn characteristically tends to be pretty cautious, and will generally refrain from engaging in certain behaviors or improprieties out of fear of adverse consequences in the future. It tends to “naturally check” its own behavior, in other words, perhaps as part of its strong survival instinct.

On a collective level, Capricorn is also linked with government. And, even though assertive Mars is “more controlled” in Capricorn, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is not interested in “spreading its sphere of influence” or “growing its dominance” in the world. It may be that a few governments around the world try to aggressively vie for more power now, but in a very strategic, well-thought out way, with Mars, again, ruling the need for assertion.

Last time Mars entered Capricorn on December 27, 2008, was exactly the same day that Israel reportedly initiated “Operation Cast Lead” in the Gaza Strip, after launching an extensive wave of airstrikes. Mars in Capricorn can denote a capable strategist or war general, whereas Mars in impulsive Sagittarius can sometimes symbolize a warrior zealously going off “half-cocked,” in search of the truth, without bothering to do the necessary due diligence, in advance, to ensure victory.

Too, we may want to pay closer attention to the world news with Mars’ pending conjunction with tyrannical Pluto, which will be exact on December 13th and 14th, although, for practical purposes, this influence is already starting to apply. Governments could get very aggressive in wanting to wield more power with this aspect. Capricorn is very concerned with self- preservation and security issues.

Also, we have the matter of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks front and center on the world stage, with Pluto ruling leaks and spying and espionage. Many governments, especially the U.S., are now grappling with serious intelligence issues and defense concerns (Pluto), in wake of all these cable leaks, and they may want to take some kind of swift action (Mars) as a result. Or, at least plot new strategies to deal with this emerging Plutonian-themed problem.

Pluto conjunct the North Node in Capricorn has correlated with an historic exposing of confidential government information, with aggressor Mars in fanatical Sagittarius square blabbermouth Jupiter, acting as the trigger point for it. What do they say, “Loose lips sink ships.” Have to wonder about the long-term implications of this WikiLeaks breach, and whether there may be new developments with the matter with Mars conjunct suspense-ruling Pluto, which loves to bulldoze and plunder.

Getting back now to a more personal level: With Mars in “reputation is so vitally important to me” Capricorn, we are wanting to put our energies effectively to use, in a practical way, so as to deliver more prestige and status to ourselves. We are inclined to believe that these two things will be natural byproducts, if we but apply ourselves and put our nose to the grindstone, and also, of course, hobnob around with important “movers and shakers.”

It could be, too, that we will want to become more involved in business networking efforts now, with Capricorn officially ruling “big business.” Especially with a new year on the way and its characteristic “new ambition.” Of course, Mercury retrograde (Dec. 10 thru the 30th) could impede or complicate some of our Mars in Capricorn ambitions to get ahead here, in the short-term, but Mars will still be in Capricorn for a couple weeks after Mercury stations direct, giving us lots of time to progress. Too, a lot of times with Mercury retrograde, we can still have great success in matters, we  just need to pay more attention to detail and following up on the execution of matters.

NEWS UPDATE 12/8/10: It was reported today that sympathetic supporters of WikiLeaks launched cyber attacks into MasterCard and Visa, and various other sites today as part of “Operation Payback.” I was thinking tonight that warrior Mars’ movement into Capricorn is sort of playing out here, initially anyway, as “war on big business,” as Capricorn rules business. It’s always very interesting to watch the events in the collective when Mars enters a new sign, as energizer Mars is such a catalyst for things to happen.

Mercury Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn: Julian Assange Arrested

WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, was reportedly arrested by British Police in London today at 9:30 am on a warrant issued by Swedish authorities. Assange is wanted for allegedly committing sex crimes with two women, which he denies. Assange is slated to appear before a magistrate’s court in London later today. It should also be noted that Assange has not formally be charged with anything. He also voluntarily turned himself into authorities today.

Fascinatingly, and ironically, Assange, who is responsible for leaking hundreds of diplomatic U.S. cables just last week, was busted with a 5 degree Capricorn rising “event horoscope” (erected for 9:30 am in London today), which puts the North Node, Mercury, Pluto, and the Moon all exactly conjunct the rising.

I always affectionately label Pluto as the “Grand Master Spy,” as Pluto tends to deliver to us dark, foreboding secrets. Whatever has been buried or submerged is brought to the surface with Pluto i.e. classified information or documents, or people who have “been in hiding.”

Historically, Pluto is linked with spies and espionage.  Also, terrorism or any “hidden factions” that use force. Pluto seems to operate more as a “control freak” or “power monger.” It is very fanatical and obsessed in its focus. It’s wanting to “call the shots” at all cost. What is often revealed through “purging” Pluto usually has “life-altering” or “transforming” ramifications for people and circumstances, and even the world at large.  Pluto rules “the masses.” Also, death, destruction, and rebirth.

Mercury rules news and communication and when aligned with Pluto, we classically hear about “Pluto” issues in the news: death, annihilation, crisis or turning point situations, sex, spying and espionage, captures, manipulation, abuses of power, history-making firsts or breakthroughs. Too, Mercury-Pluto topics can sometimes be characterized as those areas that are more historically “taboo” or “off-limits” to openly speak about, due to their more sensitive nature, like issues of sex or death.

The first house or ascendant in a horoscope deals with “new beginnings” and the immediate issues that are before us on the horizon. So having all these bodies: Moon, Mercury, North Node and Pluto, conjoined the ascendant, at the exact time of Assange’s arrest today, further brought these “undercover” or “spy” matters front and center (nature of Pluto) in our consciousness and instantly playing out in the news worldwide (Mercury-Pluto).

Symbolically, that cosmic line-up could be interpreted as “someone who makes his living exposing secrets” is making news at the moment (ascendant).  Too, Pluto is implicated in sex crimes, or situations in which sex is “forced.”

Scorpio, which is the offical sign of sex, a sign that Pluto also rules, is at the very top of this event chart, or on the tenth house cusp, with “love Goddess” Venus, ruling women, in a wide conjunction with the tenth.

Interestingly, relationship Venus is also moving into an exact sextile to Pluto now in the heavens.  Venus-Pluto can indicate “passionate” or “steamy” romance. Also, Venus-Pluto can often be symbolic of a relationship that contains “manipulative” aspects to it, once again due to the “controlling” nature of Pluto.

On another fascinating level, with this Venus-Pluto aspect manifesting now, and Assange’s alleged tryst with these two women simultaneously crescendoing to the forefront, Venus-Pluto is symbolically having the net affect of putting “sex” and “matters of the heart” center stage for the collective to mull over and perhaps talk about. Very interesting from an astrological lens.
