Pluto in Politics

Throughout history Pluto has caused both wondrous and catastrophic changes in our political systems. Pluto is the planet of transition, the planet of transformation, and it has proven itself time and time again. In the recent past we have seen drastic changes in the politics of the world every time its orbit decided to change houses. Pluto has been in Sagittarius since 1995 and will continue to be until 2008 when it moves into Capricorn, prior to 1995 Pluto was in Scorpio.

In 1992 we elected President William Clinton into office, while Pluto was still in Scorpio. Clinton did great things for this country. In the first one hundred days he was in office he had started to correct laws and reform policies in an effort to undo what had been done by the previous Presidents. The economy was in good shape and was getting better and things were moving forward in politics. Keep in mind that we had elected Clinton into office in Scorpio, this is important to understand why he was impeached at the end of his second term. Pluto moved in to Sagittarius in 1995. Societal changes effect politics closely, when Pluto moved from the sexually revolutionized Scorpio into the religiously dogmatic, truth seeking Sagittarius, it was obvious.

What was once commonplace was no longer. Society started to place more focus on religious faith, morals, and truth-seeking and this caused Clinton to be impeached. Clinton was definitely not the first president (or the last) to have some type of extramarital sexual encounter while serving as President, in fact, one of the country's most revered President had extramarital encounters with one of the most famous actresses of the time and he wasn't impeached for his immoral actions. However, with the religious fervor running rampant at the time, Clinton was impeached not for the quality of his policies or Presidential performance, but for moral reasons. The President that we elected during the time of sexual revolution was now getting the big dogmatic boot for being sexually revolutionized.
