This has been a major week astrologically, in case you haven’t
noticed and or were hiding out under a rock.
Mercury entered the sign of Taurus on April 14t, which really
shifted the focus to resources and values in communications. It inspired me to
tweet:
“Mercury enters Taurus today putting a more stable practical thorough
focus on communication. The pace is slower.”
But the major event so far this week occurred on April 16th,
when Pluto stationed retrograde at 15 degrees of Capricorn. The astrological world was abuzz over
this. Pluto will remain retrograde until
September 24, 2015. On that day I
tweeted:
“#Pluto turns #retrograde today for 5 months allowing us to dig deeper
and purge whatever isn’t working in our lives anymore.”
When Pluto is retrograde, it is time for transformation to
go deeper to an inner level. It is also
an ideal time to clean out our closets, refrigerators, quit jobs and leave
relationships that are toxic. Pluto
retrograde forces us to discard elements of our lives that are not supportive.
We really need to reexamine physical, emotional and spiritual patterns that no
longer serve our best interests.
Michael Lutin as always nailed it when describing Pluto
retrograde.
“Pluto is all about long-range perspective, so it is virtually
impossible to see what you are doing now mainly because the effects take years
to show up. Just think back to how your
life has changed since 2007. You couldn’t
possibly have foreseen it.”
He goes on to say:
“Pluto drags you away from whatever you were doing… The challenges of
Pluto to your creativity and ingenuity bring you gifts of talent you asked for….
Part of what Pluto does is grant you the power to project unconscious thoughts forward
into the future. You can bless or curse
yourself with imagery about your life that could come true many years down the
line. Pluto also represents the power to
retrieve vivid almost photographic memories complete with emotional soundtrack
of events that happened.”

I don’t know about you, but for me thinking back to my life
in 2007, I tend to shudder. I felt
totally powerless over events that were beyond my control back then. I prefer
to think that this Pluto retrograde transit is all about claiming empowerment. After all, I am a Scorpio, and I buy into the
belief that Pluto is my ruling planet. But for me personally, Pluto in Capricorn is
currently squaring my Libra ascendant, so my experience is energizing and exhausting
simultaneously. Pluto is still
transiting my third house, so I can only hope that I will have a positive influence
on other people in my communications. However, I am also aware that there is
strong potential for power struggles as I seek greater intensity and intimacy
in my relationships. The themes of manipulation
and obsessive behavior hold great potential.
And I would be a liar if I said that financial success was not important
to me. Getting the word out about my
work is uppermost on my mind these days as I struggle to maintain a balance
between my personal and professional life.
Adding to the planetary mix, Jupiter in Leo squares Mars in
Taurus on April 17th in 12 degrees.
Normally, this aspect might be interpreted as an energy boost to move us
forward in fulfilling our desires, but Jupiter is squaring my Saturn and Mars
is opposing it, so I am a bit apprehensive that I may face more delays and
tests along the way. My sense is that I
may experience this aspect as promising more than I can deliver.
And on April 18, 2015 we have a New Moon in 29 degrees of
Aries. This should bring personal and
spiritual support for new beginnings. It’s
an ideal time to take action and commit to personal goals. Don’t let the potential for this new moon
pass or you could lose out on some incredible new opportunities. Aries loves
action and hates procrastination, so the old adage “if you snooze you lose” definitely
applies to this new moon.
