Pourin' on the Aquarius

I have been saving this photo of a stained glass window for Aquarius season, so here it is. Although the Sun is in Pisces, there's still a party going on in Aquarius. Here's to the stellium in Aquarius, here's to Jochen the Aquarius who helped me with all the getting back on line stuff, here's to Aquarius Sonya, the greatest card reader of former East Germany, here's to the Neptune-Uranus mutual reception. Aquariuses, I have needed you and I love you! (but don't worry, I won't suffocate you).

This weekend the Moon is in Aries conjunct Venus late Friday night and then early in the morning Moon will sextile Mercury and Mars which are building to an exact conjunction.

What this says to me is, the environment is charged, and this feisty Moon can be the spark plug to sparring words. Let's not waste this on a stupid rebellious fight which could waste our time or hurt other's feelings. Mercury is words and messages - Mars is agression and war, so we'd be better off devouring a book, going to a poetry slam, writing about war, weapons or aggression or drawing a boot with a spur. It will be easy to pick a fight especially on Sunday and Monday. Moon changes signs to Taurus on Sunday and we may not be likely to change our view. We may dig in our heals if our comforts are denied. Let's protect creativity and by all means go full throttle into any writing project which may have been on the back burner.

I think we will be happiest and most productive pacing ourselves, (if that is possible in a quirky Aquarius stellium) because Mercury will conjunct Chiron on Wednesday and then conjunct Neptune on Thusday. These Mercury contacts are all of very different energies: on Sunday Mercury-Mars is fast, on Wednesday Mercury-Chiron is deep and Thursday Mercury-Neptune is dreamy. Because Mercury is making these contacts while in Aquarius and thus open for innovative solutions, we can expect an openness of mind and changes or distance in relating to open space for the future. Venus is slowing to her station, a time when we will be reviewing that which we value. The information we gather now will help us continue constructing dreams as works in progress.

Next week, Mercury will be in Pisces, the Moon will be full in Virgo and we will have layers of creative dreams in our hearts to feel, analyze and adjust.For now, while so many planets are in Aquarius, we have lots to enjoy in comeraderie with our brothers and our sisters, coworkers and the groups in which we find ourselves - RIGHT NOW, these groups are teaching us, even if we think we are the teacher, think twice.

Pluto in Capricorn and How You Can Interpret That in Your Chart.

Dear Deirdre,
I am curious about the significance of Pluto changing signs but remaining in the same house. For example, Pluto in Saggitarius has been transiting my first house since 1997-98, and will remain there for many years to come but now in the sign of Capricorn. What can one
expect with that?
Thanks for considering this.

Dear Valerie
When Pluto transits through the first house, I think this parallels a great wish for self transformation.
It may have been that abundance and prosperity (Sagittarius) were accomplished in the last years, and now may not interest you as deeply. It may be that you are much more into very basic, practical spiritual issues in your life.
I find that the solar chart makes a lot of sense to use with this Pluto ingress. For you as a Leo, this means we put Leo where the ascendant is and that means that Pluto was going through your solar 5th since 1995. This would be a coming to terms with your inner child and creativity, like a complete breakdown, maybe there was no creativity for a while, and then it rose from the ashes.
Now Pluto is going into your solar 6th house, which is the house of your day-to-day life. This calls you to be determined to find a life - work - home - health - balance. Pluto often creates an extreme pulling in one area and it is our work to balance drama energy.
Because Pluto is going into Capricorn, you can look at the ruler of Capricorn, which is Saturn, to see how Saturn plays out in your personal chart. Saturn is conjunct your natal Pallas, indicating that sacred knowledge may play a role in your life more and more as you get older.
I also think this is true because Pluto will be conjuncting your natal Vesta in 2010. You probably have been feeling this coming on, but I think this is about your life becoming completely aligned with your spiritual path in every way: from the way you are in your body, to what you wear, to how you move, to what friends you have, to who you want in your life to what you eat etc. This is very thorough.
This is what I see in your chart, does it ring true for you?
Nice to hear from you,
Deirdre

Playing Taps for Pluto in Sagittarius

I thought that rocket travel was going to be mainstream by the time Pluto left Sagittarius, other than that, I will say my fanatic prayers one last time, put my ragged passport collection under my pillow and say goodbye to the old era of Pluto in Sagittarius ready with respect for dawn.
