As if we hadn’t had a hunch…
Deep dark PLUTO is stationary now, since it went retro yesterday May 2 – at 02°06′ AQ (until Oct 11).
That’s the furthest it goes into AQ this year.
PLUTO is not quiiite done yet with CAP, and will (in retro motion) re-enter Sept 1 – Nov 19 (the timing, re: U.S. Elections!), for unfinished business.
This is the last transition year of PLUTO, on the CAP – AQ cusp.
It’ll enter AQ fully on Nov 19 (until 2043 / 44!)…
PLUTO’s Turnaround comes on the heels of the early SCO (ruled by PLUTO) – TAU Full Moon / Astrological Wesak Full Moon (Apr 23) which was squared by PLUTO – Dive Deeply & Find Freedom!
Have you gone through deep personal processes that called for release of sticky sabotaging ‘material’ – now in the waning Moon phase?
You’re certainly not alone (even though it might feel like that, in the oh-so separative, isolating, detached AQ world of late…).
Pluto-Cracy, Techno-Cracy, and the CAP – AQ Cusp
PLUTO-Cracy & Techno-Cracy are looming – and happening.
SO important not to give power away and feed the ‘monsters’ with frozen attention –
Or avoid dealing with change, via ‘head in the sand’ denial.
PLUTO’s Turnaround helps with recognizing power patterns, and with digging to re-access our inalienable intrinsic power – especially in an Era of Change.
How does your Soul / Core go into the deep change?
What do we contribute to the Evolution???
Power-to-Change
…lies within, and societal Change for a better future is a collaborative endeavour…
Given the developments of our times, where top-down structures (CAP) have amply shown their shadow, incl. often historically entrenched destructive ‘control issues’ (PLUTO), and things can’t go on like this.
If your SUN / MOON / AC / Planets / Nodes are round 0 – 3° AQ (or TAU, LEO, SCO!) you probably feel the intensity and pressure.
A pressure that helps us transform from the inside-out.
Rather than banging our heads against a wall / mountain of density (CAP) or feeling alienated by where society has gone (AQ) without really being able – or needing! – to change those external things.
Change is not supposed to happen ‘the hard way’ (old conditioning…), by working with resistance (theirs, yours), or pushing against what ‘doesn’t work’ in the system (AQ) and we seem to be out of control about.
Early AQ where PLUTO has gone retro has a LIBRA undertone, and sure enough, we’re dealing with issues of fairness, balance, right relationship, and justice, in various social contexts.
Long time built-up issues are now coming to the surface – to prompt a purge and transformation / evolution of various paradigms of power.
“You can’t solve a problem from the consciousness / dimension where it originated” (did Einstein say that?).
To let go & transform, we have to go to another level of experience (which can be a fine line with spiritual bypassing…).
Have you been dealing with / feeling trapped in systemic issues?
I.o.w., come up against issues that are really ‘heavy’, ‘old’ and ‘thick’ (not much breathing space / openness / flexibility)?
Feeling intensely affected by certain things a while ago, waking up some morning, I realized “these are density problems”, and something major shifted.
We don’t need to go into ‘social relationship’ (AQ) with these issues, take on those challenges or be frustrated and burdened by them (late CAP – where PLUTO goes back to, in the Summer / Fall).
How can life be lighter and freer – shared with other mature (CAP) and free-spirited friends (transformed AQ)?!
Been listening to Playing for Change – Music unites Humans (so apropos SATURN – NEPTUNE in PISCES also, accentuated by the MOON today as I’m writing this.
Clearly, I felt also called to look up the
Sabian Symbol for the PLUTO Station
PLUTO went retro at 02°06′ AQ.
Thunderstorm Toronto (A. Furtado – Pexels)
“AQUARIUS 2°
AN UNEXPECTED THUNDERSTORM
KEYNOTE
The need to develop the inner security which will enable us to meet unexpected crises
An interesting connection can be made between the symbols for 1° & 2° TAU – “A Clear Mountain Stream” and “An Electrical Storm” – and those for 1° & 2° AQ, 270° apart (a waning square, in terms of a cycle of relationship, such as the lunation cycle).
In the first case, we deal with energies or activities that can be related to the natural development of the individual.
But here we are primarily concerned with social, collective processes and the function of the individual within them.
The symbol itself – “An Unexpected Thunderstorm” – could be given a very positive meaning in an arid environment, but the emphasis on “unexpected” tends to accent the sudden and dangerous character of the event.
Such a thunderstorm in a region of dry hills can cause a devastating flood.
At any rate, it refers to an event for which one is not prepared – a menace to human works.
Seen as a 2nd stage symbol – thus in contrast to the preceding one – “An Old Adobe Mission in California” – this scene stresses the fact that nature may reduce to impermanence the seemingly most permanent endeavors and constructive activities of human beings. Under a downpour of rain, adobe brick can return to mud.
All human institutions and their achievements can be washed away, even in their day of great glory. “Dust you were, dust you must become”.
This is NATURE’S CHALLENGE.”
Sudden intervention is associated with URANUS – ruling planet of AQ where PLUTO is going retro, and these years in TAU – the Earth sign associated with Nature, food, and anything sustaining & stable.
Having been passed by JUPITER on Apr 20 – a big deal, happens only every 13 – 14 y.! – their combo can bring big wake-up calls in those areas (already does…).
Greedy human intervention, disruption & destruction of Nature (URANUS in TAU) inevitably has effects on Humanity (AQ) as on other Living Beings in the Web of Life (PI).
Apparently permanent (TAU) edifices can be swept away.
Yet also, systems (AQ) that were once built-to-last (CAP) can transform (PLUTO), for better or worse. Evolution happens, and we’re all part of it.
Finding Soul Power within is ever so important.
PLUTO Retro once more back into CAP
PLUTO retro will one last time re-enter the very end of CAP on Sept 1,
go direct on Oct 11, and leave CAP ‘for good’ on Nov 19.
True leadership requires integrity – essential (PLUTO) to CAP.
Corruption, abuse of power and authority, and disrespect of Humans and Nature Beings whom the leader serves (late CAP – VIR undertone) are shadow expressions that come up now for full revelation and purging.
Pushing us to co-envision / co-build a better future for Humanity (from the ground-up, not the top-down) – as the AQ Age is setting in.
And hey – we’re the ones we’ve been looking for and looking up to.
Also, the way how we respond to ‘what’s going on in the world’ has likely to do with our own shadow too. Well worth digging and ‘seeing through’.
We can ‘repurpose’ & transform situations (esp. those challenging ones that we suffer, resist, and judge) by connecting with our spiritual core (PLUTO retro).
Which brings us to a higher vibration, as we surrender to the Higher Order of the Universe that ‘uses’ / positions us, for a higher purpose.
PLUTO initiated the Retro Season of the Year
Planets in retro are inward-backward energy.
Old – perhaps karmic – patterns, conditioning and internalized experiences come up again…
So that we can better understand and transform them, and regenerate from within.
Much Love, Power, and Cosmic Blessings to You and Us ALL,
from the Inside-Out!

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
From time to time, I have OFFERS on (like Astro~Spa for Moms – available May 1 – 11) – to be found on my Astrology for Self Realization FB Page.
ASTRO~EXPERIENCES
via Courses, Workshops, and Embodied Astrology
Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over time (the 16 years I’ve been facilitating them) become quite potent and catalytic.
The intimate Astro hubs (max 6 participants) are a treasured way of being personally seen and involved – more commitment, a personal sense of community, and deeper effects.
Come join us, if deep synergy in a circle speaks to you!
You can find upcoming EVENTS (incl. Jupiter Journaling Journey)
on my Astrology for Self Realization FB Page.
