Pluto in Capricorn
structures remade · ambition · authority · control
When Pluto moves through Capricorn, the foundations of authority, institutions and ambition come under deep pressure for a generation. The placement lasts roughly twelve to thirty years and everyone born in that span shares it, so it describes a collective relationship with power rather than your own; the house and aspects of your Pluto are more telling.
This group may be driven to tear down structures that no longer work and rebuild them more soundly. The gift is serious, strategic endurance and a capacity to take on responsibility. The difficulty is a hunger for control, or a hard-edged view that only results count. Asking whose good a structure serves, and remembering to rest, helps this strength stay humane.
