Pluto’s transit through Capricorn started in 2008 as I was trying to find my way as an adult. 20 years old. Pluto brings transformational energy, in my case near my seventh and eighth house cusp. This energy impacted relationships, intimacy and emotional dependencies from 2008-2024 in its fifteen year cycle. The eighth house is about depth, transformation and merging with others. Pluto had me deeply examining my partnerships, or lack thereof; a journey of deep vulnerability. Pluto is also about uncovering hidden truths, I have discovered and discarded so much in the last fifteen years! Faced fears, abandonment, betrayal, power struggles, grappled with trust and this collection of poems that spans these past fifteen years reflects the journey.

The areas of my natal chart affected by Pluto also included my relationship with finances, if you know me it hasn’t been an easy financial journey in the last fifteen years. I have gone through quite a few jobs trying to find my niche while always desiring to simply be a silversmith. I always wondered if I would have had an easier time at everything if I could have gotten a handle on my finances, but I have to remind myself I have been working hard for my hourly wages this entire time. I am hoping for a shift in this space soon as I follow what I feel are my true gifts…I was pretty good at every job I held, but I don’t believe I was destined to be a chef, snake wrangler, construction worker or correctional officer. 

I have been asked to consider the thought experiment of going back in time, I would say not even one minute. I am always looking forward to the future and it almost seems silly to expose these poems, like I should just burn them and move on. I wanted to publish them anyway to mark the end of this cycle and the beginning of a beautiful new one. I am no longer worried about what anyone knowing my struggles and inner thoughts would think about it. Pluto has transformed all my Capricorn placements and I am assured of my self integrity and autonomy. 

I have a deeper understanding of myself and my connection to others, and lovers. I am fully my authentic resilient self through the intensity and tribulations of the last fifteen years. 

This collection spans the gamut of all emotions, many themes are explored and I hope you enjoy reading them. In the future I will be writing happy love poems, a romantic true story novel and other such drivel as I have found someone who is very brave to be in love with. I can’t wait to live, write and share the new paradigm I am stepping into. 

PS the poems featured here have been scrambled in order of years and such to try to protect the identity of the innocent as much as possible. 

With Gratitude!!!
