Fascinating and hopeful read on VP Harris and Gov Walz's chances of winning in November. My Pluto is smack dad in the middle of Leo at 15 degrees. But I've never sought out the limelight as I'm a highly sensitive introvert who has hidden from public view, although now I'm starting to stick my head out a bit to let the light shine on it as I begin to take back the power I've given away over the years.

VP Harris' nomination does feel karmic to me. I think this country has finally reached a point at which having a woman take on the role of President is "okay," where it simply hasn't been conceivable in the past. A big part of it is the Dobbs decision which took away a fundamental right from half the country's population. Did the Supreme Court think we'd just shut up and take it? Heck no! They just gave a big boost to women standing up and saying, "We're not going to take it anymore!" That decision gave a huge boost to the rise of the Divine Feminine out of the ashes and muck of patriarchy. It reminds me of the Black Power movement back in the '60s and '70s when we could finally "Say it loud, we're Black and we're proud!"

I think you expertly captured the spirit of Leo Pluto with the Black Power movement. I probably should have expanded upon my statement about the Leo Pluto generation. It didn't necessarily mean that individuals were extroverts, but as a generation, they held many parties and events. Those born with Leo in Pluto went to large festivals (Woodstock) and went to clubs to be seen (Studio 54.) Whereas the next generation with Pluto in Virgo went more to small underground clubs, with grunge, goth, and raves. Even during the time period of when Leo was in Pluto, Hollywood movies and the stars were a big deal.

To keep my article succinct, I left out some other observations. When the DNC was started, there was a focus of keeping black people enslaved and taking land from natives. With Harris winning, and Walz as Vice-President, it would start the journey of healing- the governor of Minnesota would be Peggy Flanagan, a woman who is a citizen of the White Earth Nation.

Thanks again for all of your support and for reading and commenting on my articles. It means the world to me.

I will be covering Pluto in Capricorn in my next articles. Honestly, I haven't done a deep dive yet but I expect we will see old institutions attempting to flex some power. We could see at least one world leader either step down or pass away, but in essence, it will be a bumpy transition as the "old" transforms into the "new."

Those were some wild times, for sure. The fact that Pluto will be in Aquarius for 20 years starting in November is what has kept me sane and hopeful. Any insights on what will happen when Pluto retrogrades back to the 29th degree of Capricorn in early September?
