More Pluto in Capricorn - Enlightenment About The Dark Side

The cover story of the latest issue of New Scientist Magazine (March 8, 2008) is called "The Dark Side." It is actually two articles, one about Dark Matter and the other about Dark Energy and it relates how we may be on the verge of great discoveries in the so far fruitless search to understand either one just this year. I think that's very significant because of Pluto's entry into Capricorn right now. If I understand these concepts even a little bit Dark Matter is connected with very strong Gravitational pulls in the Universe and Dark Energy is connected with understanding how Time speeds up and slows down in the Universe. Both are strongly ruled by the Saturn-Pluto combination working together.

Anyway, the article will probably be available online soon: www.newscientist.com. "Cosmic Enlightenment" and "Dark energy begone!"

The Scientist who first discovered Dark Matter was Fritz Zwicky. According to Wikipedia Scientists are still completely baffled by his insights. One can see this uncanny extra sense represented in Zwicky's chart. Zwicky was born while Neptune was conjunct Pluto in Gemini and opposing a conjunction of Saturn to Uranus in Sagittarius.

Saturn-Pluto oppositions bring out the Dark Side, but connection here with Neptune & Uranus really brings a broader, Universal Element to this chart. Since most of Zwicky's inner planets are in Aquarius (Sun conjunct Venus to the degree, Mercury conjunct Mars) and are all strongly aspecting most of these outer planets it's easy to see why he may have been able to gain understanding and give voice to this powerful aspect. Aquarius' connection with innovation & futuristic thinking is really well represented here.

Not only did he discover all kinds of new notions about the Universe but he is considered "The Father of the Jet Engine."

Zwicky's chart is predominately Gemini, Aquarius and Sagittarius. He had no planets in either Earth or Water unless his Moon was in Scorpio. Jupiter was a singleton in Cardinal, in the sign of Libra. This seems like the ultimate set up for an astronomer.

He also had a remarkable amount of planets in parallel aspect with each other: Mercury to Mars to Saturn to Uranus to the Nodes at 20 degrees+ declination. And his Sun is parallel his Pluto.

During 1933 when Zwicky discovered the phenomenon of "Dark Matter" his progressed Sun had just changed Signs and was on 1st degree Aries. That's a very significant degree as it's the beginning of the entire zodiac, sort of the "Birthing Point". Of course it's the Aries Point which is read as a point in time where he will bring something out before the public. He also even have had a Progressed New Moon at that point which would be really incredible. Pluto was at 22 Cancer which means that it was approaching conjunction with his South Node.

And right now seems like a good time for his vision of Dark Matter to finally materialize. Zwicky's progressed Sun is conjunct his Neptune-Pluto conjunction. And t. Neptune and the Nodes are conjunct his natal Sun-Venus conjunction in Aquarius. It would be interesting to see if the Scientists would are connected with this research were born during the mid-60s opposition of Saturn to Uranus-Pluto in Virgo. This would square Zwicky's big opposition in Gemini-Sagittarius.
