Brangelina – is it over – and does it matter?
(see also Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for individual charts, synastry between the two charts and the Composite chart)
Whether or not the relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is ‘over’ matters to the rest of us because it is an example of the challenges of relating in this intense time.
We are close to the end of a 24,000 year cycle and it is time to ‘finish’ things, to resolve karmic situations that may have existed for many, many lifetimes. (The cycle ends December 21, 2012)
We aren’t starting new things in this lifetime. We don’t have decades to work through unfamiliar situations. We are drawn to those activities and those individuals we have known before and with whom we have unfinished business. The energy is there for a quick resolution to old and tangled connections. Relationships at this time are intense, immediate and may be short-lived as old conditions are released.
The challenge for Brad and Angelina is that they have six children and there has been nothing in either of their personalities to indicate that they would walk away from these responsibilities. If they cannot relate to each other in a traditional form, they have to construct a relationship that will allow their children to thrive.
RELATIONSHIP CHART
(A Relationship chart is constructed for the mid-point in time and space between the two birth charts. It isn’t as good at describing the nature of the relationship as is the Composite chart but it is excellent for timing events. You can apply transits, progressions and returns to the relationship chart just as you can for your own birth chart.)
The Brangelina Relationship Solar Return has Uranus and Saturn opposite each other at 24 Pisces and 24 Virgo, with 24 Virgo being the location of Pluto in the original relationship chart. This is blasting away old formats and transforming into new. There is an incredible amount of energy in these aspects and the challenge is to direct this energy into constructive channels.

Pluto in Capricorn
The earthquake in Haiti…the hearings in England about why they went to Iraq… the attempts to change the American banking system… over 200,000 Canadians registering their protest over Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s habit of proroguing parliament when it gets in the way of what he wants to do…
Reprise: Pluto in Capricorn December 21, 2007
Pluto entered Capricorn January 25, 2008 at 10:45 PM EST.
On January 25, 2008, Pluto enters Capricorn for the first time in 245 years. It will slip back into Sagittarius from June to November, 2008 and then remain in Capricorn until 2024.
Capricorn represents the physical manifestation of the dreams, philosophies, creativity, and ambitions of the other 11 signs.
Capricorn represents structure, those things that appear permanent and what we understand our physical world to be.
Capricorn is mountains, concrete, land masses, national governments, monuments, large corporations, banks, prisons, economic systems.
The last Capricorn in Pluto period (1762 – 1778) included the American Revolution, the beginning of the Industrial revolution, the perfection of the steam engine,the discovery that air consists mainly of oxygen and nitrogen and the *discovery* of Tahiti, Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia by James Cook.

Stephen Harper vs. the People of Canada
On December 30th, Stephen Harper unexpectedly prorogued Parliament, killing all pending legislation and closing the hearing into reports that some of the Afghan detainees that had passed through Canadian hands had been tortured.
The Conservatives assert that this is to allow them time to ‘recalibrate’ their economic action plan.
Ralph Goodale, the Liberal House Leader said “Three times in three years and twice within one year, the prime minister takes this extraordinary step to muzzle Parliament. This time it’s a cover-up of what the Conservatives knew, and when they knew it, about torture in Afghanistan. So their solution is not to answer the questions but, rather, to padlock Parliament and shut down democracy.”
Harper maintains that the people of Canada are only worried about the economy and not bothered by the Afghanistan torture issues or that Parliament will not sit for over 3 months. He may have miscalculated. Over 180,000 have signed on to the Facebook site Canadians Against Prorogation, rallies are being planned and over 170 university professors have written a letter of protest . Even some Conservatives are starting to complain.
Stephen Harper
Canada’s rising sign or personality is Libra and Harper’s Sun sign is Taurus. Both Libra and Taurus are ruled by Venus and Canada’s Venus and Harper’s Venus are virtually the same (16 & 18 degrees Gemini). This is one of those connections that are very important when someone is running for office. Another is that Harper’s Mars is virtually the same as Canada’s Sun (11 & 9 degrees Cancer). The clincher is Harper’s Saturn opposite Canada’s Moon, i.e the people. The connection is cold and distrustful, on both sides, but very strong.
Current Influences
The current face-off between Harper and the people of Canada will not fade away as did the grumbling at past problems. This is a power struggle and an important period of testing. It is part of a several year period which will be as dramatic and confrontational as any Canada has experienced.
The current Pluto opposite the Moon indicates that the people of Canada are being challenged by powerful forces and they will find they have to become stronger than they ever thought that they wanted to be. The Pluto energy will be used by them or against them.
At the same time, Pluto is conjunct Harper’s Pluto, a once-in-250-year period when his reality, the structures in his life, and those things he thought would never change are transformed. It is a powerful and brutally honest time for him.
