History : How Pluto in Capricorn affected India

Capricorn glyph


The passage of Pluto through Capricorn began in 2008 and will continue into 2024. India is among countries ruled by  Capricorn [1] (*).  We find ourselves in a period that resonates with the previous passages of Pluto in this “Sign of the Institutional Order”, (1516-1532 and 1762-1778). The first period 1516-1532 marked the beginning of Mughal rule of India and the second coincided with the end of the Mughal empire and the beginning of British rule (see table below).

Capricorn can be likened to a rock. Just as a rock forms over great lengths of time, by the time the evolutionary journey has advanced to Capricorn, the conditioning patterns and the realities it has created have crystallized to such a degree that consciousness is primarily resistant and largely impenetrable. When Pluto, the planet of death and regeneration,  transits through Capricorn it brings tremendous upheavals.  Its transformative mandate serves to create a progressively reordered state of existence itself. Countries, borders, and geography can be significantly and forever altered; so too, the political, economic, cultural, and societal standards that regulate common everyday life.

Pluto in Capricorn advances the dismantling of the previous era, bringing an entire cycle of development to culmination and closure, while at the same time construction begins on a new era. Pluto’s transit through Capricorn compels us to learn a new way of creating our everyday realities. That which can no longer support the evolutionary requirements is dismantled and discarded. That which can house and support the evolving form gains in scope and momentum.

In order to make the shift into the paradigms of the coming period, all unfinished business must be resurrected in order for it to be exposed and evolved. Exposure and experience serves to generate the necessary awareness. Pluto’s transit through Capricorn will serve to draw back the curtain until the flaws, failings, and destructiveness of the system become so obvious, they can no longer be ignored.

The passage of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to completely alter India’s political and social landscape much as it did on the previous two occasions mentioned above.

PS :
For the technically advanced readers here are two charts for (a) the lunar eclipse of December 30, 1525 progressed to April 21, 1526, the Battle of Panipat (b) the solar eclipse of September 25, 1764 progressed to October 22, 1764, the Battle of Buxar. Eclipses are known to bring about endings and new beginnings. In each case notice that the eclipse (forming aspect to Pluto in Capricorn) has been brought to the angles  signifying that  Pluto’s transformative mandate was altering India forever.







PS
I have been writing and speaking about the cycle of Pluto for many years, and I have written and talked about Pluto’s passage through Capricorn every 250 years, which is happening once again from 2008-2024. Each Pluto in Capricorn period signals the end of a world order, which is equally the emergence of a new institutional order in the hierarchy of social realms: spiritual, cultural, political and economic. What we are seeing across the globe today is not how it had to be; it is we and our way of life that has made the content and facts of what this challenge would look like. But it is most certainly true that this is our time to bring into being a New World, and what emerges will and must be different than the order we have had since the late 1700’s, not just here but for the entire world.  -          Bill Attride
