Critical Degree

As Pluto retrogrades to the anaretic degree of Capricorn on September 2, the full intensity of its transformative power comes to a head. This marks the beginning of the end for a cycle that began in 2008, culminating in the conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter in 2020. Pluto’s final transit through 29º Capricorn is the ultimate reckoning for the rigid structures that have long upheld Capricorn’s authority, hierarchies, and societal systems. Stationing direct on October 12 before departing for Aquarius on November 19, Pluto will not return to Capricorn until 2254, sealing the fate of a dying era.

The 29th degree rings as the death knell of the old patriarchy, the last gasp of its rigid, controlling forces. Here, Capricorn’s hierarchical structures—those rooted in dominance, suppression, and paternalistic rule—face their final trial. No longer hidden beneath the surface, the systems of power, authority, and the so-called “father” figure are brought to the light for judgment. From the familial archetype of the father as protector and disciplinarian to the grander symbols of kings, rulers, and even the divine image of “God,” this paternal dominance is laid bare. For centuries, these structures have defined politics, religion, and law, acting as the pillars of order, tradition, and control. At their peak, these systems suppressed individual autonomy and stifled any alternative power dynamics, particularly those that challenged male supremacy.

Now, as Pluto begins its final descent through Capricorn, these entrenched patriarchal systems—whether in politics, corporation, religion, finance, or the nuclear family—will face severe scrutiny. Exposed for their ruthless ambition to rise to the top of the echelons of power, their escalating overreach of corruption and systemic hypocrisy, they are forced into confrontation with their own self-appointed obsolescence. Pluto’s deep, transformative energy heralds the dismantling of these archaic power dynamics, clearing the way for Aquarius’s new era of egalitarianism, innovation, and freedom. This marks the final death and regeneration of the patriarchy as we’ve known it, ushering in a profound shift that will ripple through every corner of society.

At this critical turning point, let’s look into the sectors most likely to experience restraints in a little more detail.

1. Governments and Political Power Structures

What: National governments, global governance bodies (UN, IMF, WHO, World Bank), and political institutions represent Capricorn’s grip on authority and structure. As Pluto reaches 29º Capricorn, the heart of global hegemonies that thrive on control—whether overt (authoritarian regimes) or covert (neoliberal democracies)—is brought to crisis.

How: Pluto uncovers layers of corruption and manipulation at the highest echelons of power. This includes the less-visible forces driving global agendas—groups like AIPAC, which influences US foreign policy through pro-Zionist lobbying, and the World Economic Forum (WEF), where global elites formulate economic and ideological strategies behind closed doors. These groups operate under the guise of international cooperation but often promote one-world governance, centralised control, and extensive corporate infiltration. As Pluto grinds toward Aquarius, governments that serve corporate interests and globalist ideologies face either a brutal crackdown to preserve the status quo (increased surveillance, digital control, censorship) or collapse under the weight of rebellion and systemic rot. Expect intense public scrutiny, social unrest, and the final death of governments rooted in the exploitation of resources and people.

2. Corporations and Economic Power

What: Multinational conglomerates and financial institutions are the cornerstones of global capitalism, with enormous power concentrated in a few hands—Big Tech, Big Pharma, and the oil industry being key players.

How: Pluto demands a do-or-die outcome, stripping away the veneer of “corporate social responsibility” and forcing an end to unchecked exploitation. Corporations that have manipulated global supply chains, controlled vast media platforms, or monopolised healthcare for profit will either face extreme governmental regulation (anti-monopoly laws, aggressive taxation) or implode from within. Behind closed doors, organisations like the WEF work to centralize economic control, pushing for corporate dominance over nation-states, but as Pluto’s energy intensifies, the grip of these shadow powers will weaken. Expect dramatic restructuring, bankruptcies, or corporate takeovers as the public awakens to the reality of their unchecked influence on world governments and economies.

---

3. Financial Systems and Banking

What: Central banks, global financial markets, and debt-based economies that have shaped global wealth inequality will face unparalleled pressure under Pluto’s final reckoning.

How: The institutions that dictate fiscal policy, from the Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank, have long perpetuated a system of financial dependency and debt slavery. As Pluto exerts its final force on Capricorn’s financial structures, expect moves toward centralised digital currencies, such as CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), designed to monitor and control every financial transaction. While this could appear as “modern›isation,” it’s fundamentally a bid for state control over global finance. Efforts to chastise or stabilise crumbling economies through austerity and technocratic solutions will only expose the unsustainability of the debt economy, leading to systemic financial collapses, protests, ushering in the dawn of new economic models that are decentralised and free from corporate-state exploitation.

---

4. Legal Systems and the Judiciary

What: Legal systems and courts worldwide, long used to protect the elite and perpetuate systemic inequality, will undergo seismic shifts.

How: Pluto brings the final exposure of corruption within legal frameworks—deep-seated biases, manipulation by corporate interests, and the protection of the ruling class. As this energy reaches its zenith, expect governments to attempt draconian measures in the name of “order.” The use of emergency powers, mass surveillance, and heavy censorship laws will be thinly veiled attempts to preserve authority. Yet, this could also be a time of radical legal reforms, particularly as grassroots movements demand the dismantling of unjust systems. Power struggles between entrenched elites and reformers will determine whether justice systems are reshaped to serve humanity or further entrenched in authoritarianism.

---

5. Patriarchal Systems and Gender Norms

What: Patriarchal structures, deeply embedded in both government and corporate leadership, are coming under fire in this climactic moment.

How: The last vestiges of male-dominated power systems will be torn apart under Pluto’s relentless exposure. This includes the stranglehold patriarchal ideologies have on leadership, from governments and corporations to religious institutions. Anticipate conservative forces to fight back, doubling down on regressive gender norms as they sense their waning power. On the other hand, movements for gender equality will intensify, dismantling these systems from within. Patriarchal dominance, which has upheld economic, political, and social structures, will either be transformed or face unprecedented levels of resistance as Pluto’s energy forces a reevaluation of power, privilege, and equality in anticipation for the furore of the Aquarian chapter.

---

6. Religious and Spiritual Institutions

What: The relationship between religion, politics, and society is about to face radical scrutiny, with the manipulation of spiritual systems to maintain power coming to light.

How: Pluto will force religious institutions, particularly those aligned with political regimes, into crisis. The influence of religious lobby groups such as Zionist-backed AIPAC, which shapes US policy on Israel, or religious factions pushing for greater control over social issues like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, will face fierce opposition as social justice battles it out against biblical justice. The exposure of hypocrisy and abuse within these institutions will either lead to their collapse or to a doubling down on dogma, as they cling to dwindling followers through the widespread indoctrination of fear and control. Expect a rise in movements advocating for secularism and spiritual independence, untethered from corrupt institutional power.

---

7. Institutional Education

What: Universities, schools, and academic institutions are integral to how power and knowledge are distributed in society.

How: Pluto’s influence here reveals how education has been weaponised by corporate and political interests. Expect increasing control over curricula and research as globalist organisations seek to instil ideological conformity under the guise of progress (e.g., the WEF’s push for “skills-based” education driven by corporate needs rather than intellectual freedom). Simultaneously, continued public protests and academic dissent will push back against this, demanding reforms that prioritise critical thinking, freedom of expression, and the dismantling of elitist academic structures that serve corporate agendas.

---

8. Media and Information Control

What: Media conglomerates and digital platforms have become the primary tools for shaping public perception and controlling narratives.

How: Pluto at 29º Capricorn brings the final battle over media control, exposing the insidious agendas of tech giants like Google, Facebook, X and TikTok as well as legacy media outlets controlled by globalist interests. Expect increased censorship, particularly around dissenting voices questioning global agendas (such as the insidious but well-hidden AIPAC’s influence on foreign policy or the WEF’s vision for global governance). Governments, under pressure from corporations, will try to impose stricter regulations on free speech. Despite this, a backlash also signals a moment of awakening, as alternative media grows and the public demands transparency. The power struggles over truth and information will reach a fever pitch.

---

9. Social Hierarchies and Class Systems

What: The gap between the wealthy elite and the struggling masses has widened under neoliberal policies supported by global financial elites.

How: Pluto’s energy will explode class tensions, revealing the entrenched power structures that control wealth and labour. The WEF’s vision of a future where “you’ll own nothing, and be happy” embodies the globalist attempt to normalise economic inequality. However, this period could see revolutions and uprisings, as people reject the manipulative narratives pushed by the global elite. Governments will impose redistributive policies, while corporations scramble to retain their dominance through exploitation. The very structure of class and privilege is teetering on collapse, opening the door to radically new economic systems, socio-political models and more flattened class structure.

---

10. Global Corporations and Transnational Power

What: Multinational corporations and transnational institutions have consolidated global power, shaping economies and policies through unseen hands.

How: Pluto at 29º Capricorn forces a final judgement day for organisations like the IMF, WTO, and global corporations that have hijacked sovereignty under the guise of “global cooperation.” Behind these institutions are ideologies that seek to centralise global control—pushing for a one-world government where national borders are meaningless. But this concentrated power will face a cavalcade of rebellions as governments begin imposing severe restrictions on global corporations and demand accountability for labour exploitation and environmental destruction. Expect a significant breakdown of monopolies and the rise of decentralised economic structures, as Pluto prepares for its Aquarian transformation, marking the end of centralised, unchecked corporate rule.

Synopsis:

The pressure’s on. Pluto’s last hurrah through the anaretic degree of Capricorn spells more than a mere reckoning—it appoints ultimate judgment day for global powers entrenched in dominance and control, pushing them out of the shadows and into full light. Governments, corporations, and ideological regimes that have sought to consolidate overarching influence, bending the world to their vision of centralised authority, now stand exposed. From the overt hand of the WEF, IMF, and WHO to the shadowy tendrils of AIPAC, the CIA, FBI, NATO, and powerful corporate lobbies, no stone remains unturned. The clandestine machinations that have shaped global policy for decades, manipulating governments and economies in pursuit of hegemonic agendas, now face collapse. This is the moment where the great machinery of global supremacy meets its inevitable breakdown. The cracks in the façade of power widen, and resistance rises, insistent and unstoppable.

Transformation of the patriarchy is no longer a possibility—it becomes a certainty. Pluto’s shift into Aquarius signals the birth of a new era: decentralisation, innovation, and radical equality. Like it or not, the old world order is disintegrating, and in its place, something unprecedented and untamed emerges. The dawn of a new age is not near—it has arrived.
