Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 and left in 2024.
Pluto in Capricorn initiated a massive restructuring of reality especially in 2020 that is continuing on as we hopefully awaken to how we can live in greater harmony with each other and the Earth.
The intent was to shine a light on the shadow and hopefully create a new more efficient and effective physical reality that is sustainable, nurturing and kind.
It was and IS about finding ways to do less and accomplish more that beneficially serve the future generations. Though Pluto has left Capricorn, it is clear this is still a work in progress.
Unfortunately the reality of our current culture is still actively involved in what I call the Doing Addiction. There seems to be a mistaken belief that the more we do, the more we accomplish and achieve, then the more value and significance we have. When we are driven by the Doing Addiction it can interfere with healthy and deeply fulfilling connections with family, friends, community and the world around us.
For me it has been vital to cultivate a growing awareness around how I have been Doing Addicted so I can make healthier choices.
Doing (taking action) is a natural part of life similar to the necessity for eating to fuel our bodies. However, both doing and eating can also become an addiction.
An addiction is anything that we do to excess in ways that are harmful to our health and well-being. There are obvious addictions such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc… Most of us might recognize a Doing Addiction as someone who is a work-a-holic. However, the Doing Addiction often shows up in subtle ways that are more challenging to spot.
For example, the most philanthropic work a person might engage may be driven by a Doing Addiction as a way to avoid feelings or having a personal life.
Underlying the Doing Addiction are three primary fears.
- Fear of not having enough
- Fear of not being good enough (having to prove yourself)
- Fear of Facing your Fears and having to really Feel your Feelings…

More On Capricorn
The Capricorn Archetype is represented most accurately by the Circle of Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Wise Ones and Elders. These are the political and other leaders, managers, counselors and teachers who are most effective when they are paying attention to what really works and letting go of what no longer works. When healthy the primary interest of this archetype is how effective and efficient the systems they operate within are functioning and how those systems honor the Earth and the ancestors, as well as serving the future generations going forward.
