What's Coming in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 as Saturn Conjuncts Everyone With Pluto in Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio

by Robert Wilkinson

Today's article continues the theme of examining what millions can expect in current and future years as Saturn continues to crystallize forms of Pluto's power of Divine Transformation for all generations on Earth. As these two are also in square at present, it's bound to be a wild ride for months to come!

We have now entered a period of time when Cardinal squares and oppositions will set major forces in motion across the entire world over the next few years. Much will be radically transformed forever, including entire economic, governmental, scientific, and religious beliefs and systems. Please review yesterday's article to see what's in motion, since it can open inner doors of perception to show you ways to navigate these powerful times and tides already manifesting through radical events and breakdowns in our world.

As I mentioned in that article, Saturn has been and will be conjunct the Plutos of everyone on Earth from 2005 through 2014. This affects entire generations, and sets into motion major changes restructuring our lives at fundamental levels.

To remind you of the character of what's in motion, Saturn is the limiting force of Nature, the "Ring-Pass-Not" that shows us our responsibility to do our Dharma with ever-increasing maturity and willingness to do what we must, freed from fear and the need to enslave or be enslaved, to control or be controlled in authoritarian ways, whether in material, emotional, or mental forms.

Pluto is our "seed power" of transpersonal transformation that reveals elements of our "personal immortality." Pluto is the power of relentless purification, removing obsolete forms through events seemingly beyond individual control. Pluto is "Lord of the Underworld," and when we examine elements of our personal "hell" we can come through the purifying Fire that makes our existence pure gold from that point on.

Saturn teaches us lessons we cannot avoid, and shows us our higher responsibilities and duties freed from the chains of obsolete patterns and whatever "binding force" we've lived with, but cannot or should not tolerate any longer. As Saturn and Pluto together symbolize "shadow material" in primal areas of our consciousness, when they come together we confront our fears, limits, and needed boundaries. The dance of these two planets in our charts also bring the consequences and rewards of discipline, authorship, and wisdom.

The Pluto in Cancer generation, those born between September 1912 and June 1939 (with a few exceptions), already went through their major restructuring between 2003-2005, when Saturn transited Cancer. All people born in the first four decades of the 20th century had major changes and transformations between 2003-2005 (the 1900-1912 group had Saturn conjunct their Neptune in Cancer and Pluto opposing their Pluto in Gemini!)

Because the 1912-1939 group features Pluto in Cancer, it primarily affected their home, family life, their ability to secure their basic needs, and gave them a new feeling-structure to embrace the Divine Transformative energies of Shiva, aka Pluto. Most of them will not be around the next time Saturn is in Cancer beginning Summer 2032.

The "Baby Boom" generation, those born with Pluto in Leo and the first part of Virgo, constitute the vast majority of people alive today. (I actually group each sign of Pluto as its own "generation," but that's not what the demographers have decreed.) Saturn conjunct the Pluto of this generation brought forth confrontations of mortality, and also offered chances to mature and expertly utilize Divine power to transform their consciousness, their view, and the world. Some of these ended, while other things sprouted.

The Pluto in Leo generation was born between August 1938 and June 1958. As Leo is the sign of the Fixed Fire of the Heart, and Pluto is said to be "exalted" in that sign, that generation has the power of heart, love, creativity, and joy of natural self expression.

When used wisely that position expresses the power of Divine Transformation using purified heart energy creatively. All beings born between 1938 and 1951 had Saturn conjunct their Pluto between Summer 2005 and Autumn 2006, while those born between 1951 and 1958 went through it from July 2006 through September 2007. The next time Saturn enters Leo is September 2034.

The Pluto in Virgo generation was born between October 1956 and July 1972. As Virgo is the sign of Divine Discrimination and practical training for some kind of service, this group has the power to purify, transform, or sprout the seeds of the future through bringing forth pioneering new forms in the health and service fields. They are here to repair whatever needs it using their power to make practical adjustments to circumstances.

Saturn transited the Pluto of those born between 1956 and late 1963 between September 2007 and August 2008. The Pluto in Virgo generation will still be alive the next time Saturn goes through Virgo beginning October 2036, which will again completely transform all of them at the core of their Being.

Those born between Summer 1963 and Summer 1972 have Pluto in middle and late Virgo. They have the most recent experience of Saturn's transit across their Pluto, that having happened from September 2008 to October 2009, with a "last blast" of lessons from April through July 2010. Saturn will next be in Virgo from November 2037 through September 2039.

The Pluto in Libra generation were born between October 1971 and October 1983, with a few more in the Summer of 1984. Those born between Autumn 1971 and Autumn 1978 have Pluto in early Libra, and experienced Saturn on the Pluto beginning October 2009. This lasts through March 2010, picking back up again July 2010 and lasts through September 2011. This group will again experience Saturn conjunct their Plutos around 2039-2040.

Those born between Autumn 1977 and Summer 1984 have Pluto in the second half of Libra. Saturn will transit their Pluto between late 2010 and October 2012. This group will again experience Saturn conjunct their Plutos around 2040-2042. Saturn is said to be "exalted" in Libra, offering us all possibilities to mature and become more responsible through authoring various forms of "Right Relationship."

When Saturn transits the Divine Transformer and purifier in Libra, major life lessons are structured involving principles and ideals of justice, fairness, balance, perspective, and law. Expect important legal transformations during these years.

If you have a Pluto in Libra, you can expect major developments during the hot zones of important aspects I described in The Coming Cardinal Squares and Crosses of Saturn in Libra, Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries 2009-2010-2011-2012-2013. This article offers insights into the major transformational forces at work during this era challenging everyone to "right action." Between 2009 and 2015 Uranus and Pluto will challenge those born between 1971-1978 in some fairly drastic ways. Find appropriate forms of Cancer self expression and it'll make navigating this period easier.

Those born between November 1983 and September 1990 have Pluto in the first half of Scorpio, and will experience the first Saturn transit of their Pluto between October 2012 and November 2013. Pluto in Scorpio is a position of deep wisdom and the power of absolute regeneration by casting out all that is impure or which cannot be taken into the unknown future. While capable of great darkness, it is also the depth-purification required of all who would know absolute transcendence.

What happens to this group between late 2012 and late 2013 will be critical in setting the seeds of their wisdom process into motion so they can be more effective in participating in the evolutionary process of their world. This will bear fruit between November 2041 and September 2043.

As you can see, these generational time spans move forward based in the group we're focusing on, so those born after 1990 will be going through major changes and transformations in their world in 2013, 2014, and 2015 as prelude to their next evolutionary choices to contend with between 2043-2045. I'll focus on the Pluto in Sagittarius generation down the road.

So to sum up, we are in the heart of a span of several years that are crucial to our individual and collective transformation. We have the power to structure how the seed-power of our Divine Self sprouts in the world, utilizing the Divine Power of Economy of Energy to purify our life functions.

If you're in a group that's already experienced Saturn on your Pluto, seeds have already been set into long-term motion. If it's happening now, use Saturn's best qualities to be a world-changer in your unique way and place.

Saturn transits show us how to utilize patience, diligence, a sense of responsibility, and maturity to achieve the dominion that is our Divine birthright. Whatever this "Ring-Pass-Not" touches is bound in and across time as part of our "Great Work."

Though Saturn lessons can be difficult, and Pluto lessons can be fearsome, when we Saturn AND Pluto our friends, we'll never be afraid of anything ever again. These two show us the way beyond fear and unrighteous limitations. Aum Namah Shivaya!

Hi Robert...Thanks for giving the right article at the right time. Remember reading it already. I have my natal Pluto around 9 deg Libra and Sun around 10 deg Libra. Both are exactly on the border of the 12th(&11th) house. Saturn's visit could reorganize my 12th house ? I could already see the stress building up nearly for an year. Expecting a relief, but haven't gotten any yet. What could I expect ? Thanks!!!

My natal positions are: Saturn in 10. Cancer conjunct South Node and square to my Asc on 1,33Lib and my Sun and Pluto.
Now I have Saturn on my Pluto and Sun, and Pluto on my North Node opposing natal Saturn. So, I am cardinaly covered from all sides when Jupiter and Uran touch my Dsc... And Mars is coming soon to meet Saturn on my Asc...
Well, I'm going to dance Tandava with Bhairava personaly :)
Seriously, I am at that point to finally see the dark side of me and I'm trying to touch that point of inner understanding. It's hard to explain, but it seems like I've started to learn the steps of this cosmic game and my role in it. It's not easy, but no one ever said it was going to be... :)

And have you noticed? When Pluto entered Cancer World War I began, and when it entered Leo WW II began... Lot of material for great article how Pluto affects Sun and Moon :)

hi Robert,
So Saturn transited my Pluto in '08 (DOB 12/26/58) and then last year Pluto transited my Saturn, now Pluto is transiting/conjunct my natal sun. and I feel like I'm having a major mid life crisis. And yes, there's been a lot of change, just got a MA, kids growing up moving away, new community responsibiliies, hopefully a new career. intensified spiritual practice/path. Everything feels like it needs changing, starting over, even my marriage. Any words of advice?

Robert,
Warm greetings my friend. Glad to hear you are alright after reading about the car wreck. Seen too many people have their lives cut short by such a tragic event so good to hear you made it out unscathed. That is a rather weird coincidence with this experience and that of your wife. Obviously fate would have a greater plan for your life as this web site certainly does reflect. After reading your well crafted insight for many years and studying the would be laws that govern the world of astrology I have come to the conclusion that although I like to be prepared for the events that will cycles through my life, I am unfortunately letting fear and doubt get the best of me and and am not able to continue reading into these planetary transits. It is best to be brave and certainly I will face fear head on when need be and I know we all will have to deal with difficult decisions and experiences in our lives and I hope that I too can choose the right direction when I reach the crossroads.
I'm curious about this article as I read that my generation may experience some drastic forms of change given to the cardinal squares through this year and the coming years. I am part of the Pluto in Libra generation and I wonder how perhaps those born during 1975 and 1976 with Jupiter in Aries will fare among this generation in the sweeping changes that will come. I see how Cancer is the void and this lands directly in my fifth house with Saturn and Venus being the lords. Anyways, I can only hope that I will be able to find creative forms of Cancer to navigate through these years as you say. My progressed sun is currently at 0 Cancer so hopefully this will help me as well. My career is in jeopardy and I am definitely at a crossroad with my family. Neptune is squaring my natal sun as it has for the last year and will for the coming years. Whats that they always say, what won't kill you will make you stronger. Well a tip of the glass to you and hope that your words and thoughts continue to inspire for years to come.

Hi Mary - Well, you're at the front end of a major transformation, with Saturn leading the way and Pluto soon to come. Figure out how to be more self sufficient in taking initiative re what you care about, and allow yourself to pioneer in new ways of life. This restructuring can make you more mature and balanced in living your light. Please read the articles in the archives about Saturn transiting your Sun or a planet to know more.

Hi yzse - Pluto on NN is excellent for sprouting long term spiritual seeds for greatest growth. Jupiter and Uranus on Dsc should bring more liberating opportunities and relationships with open minded unique beings. The Mars conjunct Saturn on your Sun will open doors to your archetypal Self.

Hi Tamara - Your security systems have definitely gone through a purification, and you've been presented with new structures of dealing with transformational energies "beyond your control." Sounds like you're ready to take on a larger, more effective role in your world. New beginnings are always good when old forms are no longer adequate to express the Self that has emerged from its cocoon. The trick is to know what to hold on to, what to change, and what to let go of, and when. That's where astrology shows timing that occasionally must be very precise.

Hi Jeremy - Thanks. Still dealing with the aftermath and getting a renewed focus on what I want to do from here on out. I suppose that the Lords of Karma have deemed it necessary for me to continue doing what I do best as prelude to other larger projects not that far down the road. If you're confronting fear and doubt, then you're in an excellent position to kill them out. Sometimes courage is the only thing to demonstrate, since it generates heart strength and shows that what we fear is an illusion. As for crossroads, take them as they come without too much baggage.

ALL generations are experiencing drastic forms of change! Those all serve to help us get beyond pride, fear, inflexibility, and separateness. Those with Jupiter in Aries are at the threshold of a grand adventure. The larger Cancer void shows us where we need to figure out how to take care of our needs without insecurity or clutching at phantoms. Your progressed Light is precipitating reorientations, and shows that your need for illumination, as well as the Light you shine to others, are the solutions to many of the outer "problems" that will present themselves. I've had "careers in jeopardy" in the past. Usually those points showed me that it was time to learn new skills, new effectiveness, and a new view of what I am here to learn and how I am here to serve.
