With a shout-out to the four cazimis (of Saturn, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury) that occur during March, they give a short description of what each may invite.

As it stomps through its final tenure in this sign, it also accords with the crescendo of the U.S. Pluto Return, since the Declaration of Independence was written when Pluto was last in Capricorn; this illuminates the bouts of reckoning this country is moving through—as witnessed with the U.S. presidential election—that are further exposing the strength of its constitution and Constitution.
