On November 15th we’ll experience the first of three direct squares of transiting Saturn to Pluto in the sky. The other two will occur on January 31st and August 21st 2010 and represents a significant cosmic shift in terms of learning how to use one’s personal power in the face of resistance.
The early degree Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will be directly affected so if you have a planet in one of these signs you can be sure that your life will force you to work within new structures and that there will be a dynamic test to your personal strength.
Saturn is the planet of lessons and restriction while Pluto is the planet of elimination and transformation. Saturn rules authority and Pluto rules power. Mix these two in a cosmic cocktail and you have the potential to overcome any obstacle in life.
Truly, this can be a time of reckoning where you finally realize that you can do anything – even while those chains, bricks, authority figures and bad guys are trying to keep you down. “Bring it on”, you might say. It will make you stronger.
But that’s only if you embrace this energy and learn how to work with it. If you don’t then it’s likely you’ll be in for a test – especially if you don’t volunteer to eliminate whatever it is in your life that is now “dead” and holding you back from becoming the master (Saturn) of your power center (Pluto).
There will be a breakdown of some structure in your life now, whether it’s a career, marriage, domestic matter or personal one. Don’t fear this collapse my friends – accept it. You’ll have more strength than you realize to rebuild something stronger and more in line to your soul’s evolution once you stop trying to fight the crash.
In my own chart I have a natal square from Saturn to Pluto and it happens that Saturn is in early degree Cancer while Pluto is in early degree Libra (both Cardinal signs). This is truly affecting my life in every way. I’m in the midst of finalizing a divorce while I’m experiencing a career restructuring. In almost every area of my life I feel shackled now. But I recognize the lesson. Learn to do more with less. Learn to prioritize. Learn to let go.
And then the magic will happen. Instead of fighting with blood, sweat and tears to get out of those chains, by the end of this transit they will simply fall away.
Spirited women, are you ready to taste your chains so that they can finally melt?
