In my last Skywatch I wrote that the 13-year-tenure of Pluto in Sagittarius was not going to be finished with us until its fiery swan song of late December. Not only Jupiter and Pluto but the Sun and Mercury too were going to be overlapping in the sky, deepened in significance by their alignment with the Galactic Center.1
Transit-trackers all over the world were watching this period with bated breath, knowing that it would mark the grand finale of the planet of destruction (Pluto) in the sign of crusades (Sagittarius).
