Pluto  - the god of greed 


  

Members of Congress are in line for their first pay raise since 2009 if they pass a massive stopgap spending measure that would avert a partial government shutdown

Lawmakers could get their first pay raise in more than a decade under a provision that was quietly tucked into the three-month continuing resolution that was unveiled Tuesday evening.

In the US Sibly we know that Pluto has returned to its radix position (in 2nd house) , while square Hades in the 11th (congress) [1]. As a symbol in astrology, Pluto tends to operate as a power source from deep within the unconscious. Thus, it functions as a motivation that is often deeply obsessive and compulsive.

Located in late Capricorn in the USA chart, occupying the 2nd house while ruling the 12th, Pluto indicates the drive for self-worth (2nd house). Psychologically or spiritually, that means proving the value of the self by doing sustained good work. Pragmatically, it means amassing wealth. Good work is America’s great resource, but the pursuit of wealth through money is its most striking liability (12th house- self undoing).. 

While the US military budget approaches a trillion dollars per year, 100 million regular Americans have no savings, no retirement or pension plans, and face the prospect of a future with government-imposed austerity with no social safety nets. These are all examples of the negative expression of Pluto in the 2nd house: “All for me and none for anyone else.” 

In the US Sibly, the TNP Hades [0sc47] in the 11th is square Pluto [27cp] - Kronos [21cp] in the 2nd . Moreover transit Pluto [0aq42] is with just 7 mins of arc square to radix Hades. The TNP Hades in the 11th is simply “bad or selfish behavoour” of the members of Congress and Pluto in the 2nd of money is about “greed”. The TNP Kronos refers directly to those in authority or lawmakers.

 


The Sun rising on the Ascendant at daybreak symbolically refers to something moving from the dark (unconscious) to the light (conscious). This applies to any planet on the ascendant. The Sibly solar return progressed to Tuesday, Dec 17 - the date of the news - has the Sun-Hades-Kronos just rising on the Ascendant. In other words, the bad or selfish behaviour (Hades) of the lawmakers (Kronos) is coming to light ..for everyone to see.
