it’s been nagging at you
Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.
~William Shakespeare, Macbeth
Have you had this nagging notion that something needs to change? Like, something big – a deep down something or other? A truth, a habit, a way of being – something has likely been bending your ear and tugging at your shirt to get your hands dirty and get some work done.
The #planet #pluto is an epic slow mover in #astrology and has been in the sign of #capricorn since 2008 and will remain there until 2023. As a result, Pluto is generally not a player in the day-to-day, breaking news kind of events UNLESS there is a planet aspecting it that is a faster mover… such as what we have today.
Today, the #sun makes its annual opposition to Pluto, Lord of Hades. The Sun is our life force energy, our lifepath, authority figures, father-energy and the like. While Pluto is all that is deep, dark, submerged… it is death, transformation and rebirth – but renewal only after the darkest depths have been exhumed. Pluto is power and things buried underground, out of sight. Pluto resides in the #shadow .
Symbolically, we see the giver of life – the Sun shining on Pluto’s dark reign. This aspect exacts at 18 degrees of Cancer and Capricorn, within the same degree of yesterday’s #fullmoon.
As this aspect exacts, we also will experience today the #moon in #aquarius opposing #mercury in #leo both of which conjunct the upcoming #eclipse degree in #august . The Moon is our vibe, our mood, our #spirit and emotion. Mercury is our #messenger , communicator .
And in the background, #mars (aggression, male energy, action) in Cancer is building his square to #uranus (chaos, unplanned, seeking freedom, a-ha moments) in #aries
What to make of it all?
The #starrywonder we are moving through is full of making a change kind of energy. Not just a simple change, but one that has been gnawing away at you. Face yourself, reach down deep and see what you are made of.
I have had July 10th circled on my calendar since April. Today is the day I have been planning for – each week prior full of preparation and steps to get me to today. I have had a number of health issues and being knocked out with the car accident earlier this year was it… I decided shortly after my birthday (July 4th) I would rebirth myself and start out on a fresh slate. Each week since March 30th, I’ve had a list of goals I needed to accomplish to get to here.
I made it!
Now, is the Pluto time. I will take all of this energy that is conjuncting my own Sun, makes some space for it and use it towards my own renewal.I am looking forward to a synchronistic message leading me along this journey later today when the Moon comes into opposition with Mercury. I have a new set of plans for the next 3 weeks, which I am certain will be the worst/hardest… and then, as the Eclipses culminate in August, a whole new set of plans will take shape.
What about you
