Pluto's First Casualty?
When news broke that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was busted in a federal wiretap of prostitution rings, author Eileen Grimes saw Pluto's handiwork. Here you have a longtime prosecutor of vice linked to the hidden world of elite prostitution. Always eager to probe a Plutonian mystery, Eileen offers readers some insight into Spitzer's sudden political fall from Time's Crusader of the Year to "Client 9."
From Eileen: "Pluto in any sign is going to 'root out' the unseemly and dark, digging up skeletons in the backyard. Whatever sign Pluto is in, means the issues pertaining to that sign will be under intense scrutiny during the passage through that sign. Pluto in Capricorn has political and governmental structures in its sights. There won't be ANY mercy on these governing bodies, whatsoever -- it's going to expose everything that is corrupt and unethical. Today's news could be the 'shot across the bow' in this new era of Pluto in Capricorn -- the event heralding that no one is immune, or can escape, this type of investigating."
The sting exposed the Emperor's Club VIP, with a clientele of wealthy men and a prostitute rating in diamonds, with a 7-star woman going for $5,500. Eileen points out that diamonds are also ruled by Capricorn, being the hardest substance on Earth. Spitzer's Saturn is at 4 degrees Capricorn (birthdate 6/10/59), with everything repressed being imploded by the Pluto conjunction. "Not to mention a wide conjunction of Uranus and Mars," she says, "Methinks we might have a bit of 'kink' here." Says Eileen, "I find it fascinating that what rooted this guy out is the very thing that Pluto in Capricorn would rule -- a federal (Capricorn) wiretap (Pluto)." And symbolically, at least one "Emperor" now has no clothes, and stands naked before his constituents and family. Eileen predicts more outing of scandalous behavior, and hints that the election season may hold a few such surprises.

I love the article about the true corruption of a Pluto transit to a man of Pluto stature. Could you do a profile of the wife. She would seem to be very Cancerian or virgo-oriented.
Silda Wall Spitzer is a Sagittarius (born Dec 10th, 1957), but you could be picking up on the very sensitive Cancer (or Leo) Moon. His timing for a wife’s humiliation couldn’t have been worse. Busted for a final trist on the night before Valentine’s Day.
Some other info on Silda I find interesting:
She’s went to Harvard Law school, but deferred her career to support him/raise a family. Her Venus in Aquarius, attracting her to the rebel reformer squares her own Jupiter in Libra (her career in Law). Her Venus has lots of ‘hard aspects,’ meaning that her love life has not been a cakewalk. Venus opposing Uranus (in Leo) is symbolic of her personal life made public, a sudden shocking injury to her pride and self-image as a public person.
Another point of interest: Her Neptune squares her Moon, Venus and Uranus — is she herself finding out that her intimate life is full of illusion?
Her Mars (in Scorpio) also squares Uranus, and I’ll bet there are private rages being expressed in a marriage that may not survive this.
How agonizing it must be to be in her shoes right now. My heart goes out to her.
Thanks for your comment Adele.
