Mirror Woman

Michael Whelan

Splendid astro at the moment, yes ? 

Mercury conjunct Sun in (out of sign) trine to Jupiter Rx in Gemini.
Thinking, thinking, re-thinking.

Venus / Pluto squares Moon / Uranus.
Intellectualizing love scenarios, retail therapy, creative urges, brainstorming in the nooks and crannies of the brainpan, drawing maps to splitsville, flying in the free agent stratosphere.

Saturn within orb of sextile to Pluto.
Mutual crash and burn purge fest.  Suck it up and streamline sweetheart.   Brain candy  goes green leafy and healthy, new paradigms shifts into focus – warp speed.
Wants are outdated – needs are the NOW.

::::::::::::::::
So many people are cropping up in my path lately to hold up a mirror – I am seeing my past lives – my past selves in the lives of others and Whoa What an Eye Opener.

History: my folks were both Capricorn Suns, Scorpio Moons with Mars in the 7th.
Power control freak wattage: eight zillion.

It was their dynamic - it took one 7th house Mars to tolerate the other one.

I grew up living in a war zone of continual bickering – if it gets boring, just add liquor, *poof* – instant knock-down drag-outs !  This Cap rising was silently ticking off the seconds, entertaining scenarios of freedom.

Everybody wanted the shiny scepter but me - I just wanted OUT.

I am Sun/Uranus/ Pluto conjunct; Pluto, Venus/Jupiter in the 8th. 
Strong.  I had to be.  No other chart would have made it through that BS.
 Yet I have a biggie Neptuner opposite Toro Moon – I cannot tolerate yelling.
Sensitivity high.
Opera ?
Forget it.

At one time, I disregarded astrology, I thought it was total BS for the weak-minded and weak-willed – I thought astrology freaks needed constant direction to guide them.  Seemed kind of chicken shit to me…but then many years later, I (of course) wanted info on a dude, so I learned it.

Once I learned astrology and applied it to my family – it was a DONE DEAL - astrology is amazingly accurate - I see the whole world differently, through the lens of energies in play, or in arguments with, one another.

Pluto strong in the natal always means POWER STRUGGLES.
Power vs. PowerLESS

:::::::::::::::::

Sadly, I left home and repeated the above scenario.
I found a hothead and married him.
  It is common – take heed and learn young ones.
I fell for a Sexy Scorp Rising Super Sag packin’ a Stellium in the 2nd house – that’s Toro for newbs.  He could be fun and zen as all get out – but if he had a meltdown, whoa you had better start runnin’.  He has a chart filled with squares [internal tension waiting to snap] and our synastry was difficult [filled with squares] . . .
which I know. Now.  Could have used that info earlier.
:::::::::::
So who is the mirror you are wondering . . . ?
I was working with a man and a woman over the holidays.  She was quiet and gentle, he was, quite frankly, a dick.   Bossy, rude, demanding – he was snapping and barking orders at his wife, at me, all the while in a room full of people.   Now, I get paid to take money and serve, (such a dutiful Virgo, yes ?) and I do it well, like it or not.  I was sweet as can be to Mr. Dickhead, all the while thanking my lucky stars he would be gone after a few minutes of growling, grouching and grunting.  I was jumping and hopping to finish it up quickly and get rid of him and his creepo ugly energy.  His wife was hopping because it was their dynamic - he shouted - she jumped.  Simple as that.

I’ll tell you what – his wife and I made eye contact - and the universal space-time continuum morphed one moment into an eternity.
I looked at her, and she at me, and WE KNEW each others thoughts.
She knew and I knew – her actions, her eyes were telling me everything / vice versa - ALL downloaded in a nanosecond.
She was living the life of the emotionally battered.  The life I once led.
Been there.
Won’t go back.

This woman saw in my eyes the serenity I have found, my peaceful life of freedom, the happiness I chose to embrace – she saw the joy of independence unfold in my eyes, she saw me released from the subjugation of a smothering, domineering relationship.

I let her see it in my eyes - I needed her to see it.
I revealed my understanding, my acceptance, my kinship – I offered her hope, strength, love and peace on her journey.

This post is for you, My Magnificent Mirror Woman. 
It is also for you, reader, if you need it.

May you find your path.
May you embrace happiness and serenity.
My your inner fires of strength and regeneration always flame brightly.

The Goddess in me greets the Goddess / God in you.
Yes, I still struggle with Pluto too.  Read here.

Plutonic Alchemy

Arthur Hugot

Those of you with transiting Pluto ripping through an angular house (1,4,7,10) - RESPECT.
 
I’m a Capricorn rising with Pluto ripping up my no longer secret identity in One. 
PLUTO REVEALS.   

Pluto in One who the fuq AM I anyway  ?  is just as fun as it sounds like, but the really fun part is Pluto is also ripping up OUR identity via opposition with Seven.  Meaning me and you : never on the same turf for two consecutive minutes : the not - so – secret knock down drag out, we either are in peace talks or have each other by the throat.  Do we love or do we hate ?  Likely it is both – feels like both.

Thrillseekers note:
Pluto will deliver passionate desire right along with kickass rebirth.

Those of you with Pluto in Seven are feeling much the same as the Ones above, only your relationships with OTHERS are getting the major overhaul first and foremost and that means getting a grip on yourSELF as well.  Good luck with that – Pluto digs deep for the sludge in the swamp – what it dredges up is not for the hearts & rainbows crowd.
The scales of Justice and BALANCE are swinging wildly with Pluto in houses One or Seven.

Those of you with Pluto in Four and Ten - it’s your STeAmPunK coming OUT party !  What you once held private and oh – so – dear is now public fodder – Pluto is waving  your family flag for all to see.  Four gets primal pain and the whammy rebirth following  via home and private family matters undergoing metamorphosis.  I said steampunk because it is the POWER inherent in patching and piecing the plundered.  Positive mental & emotional alchemy made manifest on the physical - HOPE – the sword reforged.  REBIRTH.

Tens are undergoing much the same as the Fours only their career is kicking ass into high gear – take no prisoners.  Capricorn on Ten is fuq all ambitious, it is born and bred, they need to CLIMB and CONQUER.  Pluto ripping it up in career will shed light into the dark caverns of who has kept you from what you feel you rightly deserve.  Family or parents, most likely.  It will also shed light onto who or what you have USED to get where you are today, or conversely how others are using YOU.

One last thing… y’all out there feelin’ all cocky: ‘fuq yeah, I got a handle on this’ Pluto is in my Tenth or Fourth or whatever’ lol.  I got a newsflash for ya - Go back and re-read the whole thing – ’cause you are GETTING IT ALL via SQUARES or OPPOSITION to EVERY OTHER angle.

Ain’t that the fuqsticker  ?! . . . and I didn’t even mention Uranus.
See how nice I am ?

cheers to progress via Plutonic plunder

Desires on parade


Firebird and Phoenix by Markova Dasha

Tuesday April 10 CST, USA Pluto stations retrograde 11:25 am

Friday April 13 CST, USA Mars stations direct 10:53 pm

Prior post here (click).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto DESIRES.
Pluto is SEX.
POWER.
OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.
DEATH.
Pluto is FORCE – the drag you kicking and screaming like it or not GAME CHANGER.
Pluto DELVES DEEP.
Pluto is DEFIANCE.
STRUGGLE.
Pluto is INTENSE.
Pluto rules anything small or miraculous.
Pluto may be small but take it from someone who has it hooked up with BOTH luminaries – Pluto’s packin’ one hell of a punch.  Underestimate it at your own peril.

Pluto is the light burning from behind the eyes – the DIVINE WILL.  Pluto is the higher octave of Mars the aggressor.

Mars is the PERSONAL WILL – the physical energy behind the natal chart – it is your blade, your weapon, the traditional ruler of Scorpio.

Mars and Pluto are kicking into gear this week – POWER IS FLUCTUATING.

Pluto is a generational planet, moves slowly and will stay in one sign from anywhere from 11-30 years (average 21 years).

Mars is a personal planet moves through a sign on average every 2 months.
Mars has been in Virgo since November 10, 2011.
Mars kicks the door in on Libra on July 3.
FINALLY.
Eight months of aggressive Virgo nit-picking self - flagellation will be ovah.
Hallelujah AMEN !

Not only will Capricorn and Virgos feel this shift – Scorpio (Pluto rules) and Aries (Mars rules) will likely feel it as well.

In the natal, also find any planets in Scorpio or the 8th house to see where Pluto kicks that planetary energy into high gear.  ie: A Moon in Scorpio or Moon in the 8th is akin to Moon conjunct Pluto.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  I am a late 67 Virgo stellium.  Mercury at MC, with 9th house Sun conjunct Uranus and (8th house) Pluto, Pluto trines my Taurus Moon in 4th.

Sun is the center, the ego, the spirit, it rules the heart and the creative spirit.
Pluto conjunct Sun in my experience is continual life-long ego hits – one right after another.  Sun conjunct Pluto is a regeneration of who you are at the visible level – what others see.  A regeneration of how the self expresses the creative spirit, it is WILL POWER.

Contact with Moon is just as powerful – it is POWERFUL INSTINCTUAL DESIRES and a need to plumb the emotional depths.  It is the subconscious brought to the surface to breathe deeply of fresh air and it ain’t always pretty.  We humans are a twisted little bunch ~ beautiful, but twisted.  Contacts to Moon means fluctuation of personality, family and home, restructuring of security, powerful insight into the psyche – it is emotionally wrangling – the discomfort zone 24/7.

Where Pluto lands you will always find CHANGE and MAJOR GROWTH.

Pluto in any aspect reveals a struggle, a force of atomic change that will completely destabilize and restructure that planetary energy.  Pluto rules atomics – positive or negatively charged atoms are called ions.  When you feel better after a thunderstorm, or after you smudge with sage, that is Pluto at work changing energies on a sub-atomic level.  Expect the same energies at work when dealing with Pluto and Scorpio in the natal chart.

Plutonic energies are shifting in the house of Capricorn.
Martian energies are shifting in the house of Virgo.

Find your Capricorn and Virgo houses (also Scorpio and Aries houses) and apply the below to your chart to see where you will be feeling the shift in energies.

Here’s a very general guideline:
1/7 = self/others
2/8 = mine/yours
3/9 = learning/teaching
4/10 = home/career
5/11 = personal will/ will for others
6/12 = personal health & work/ universal health & service

If you need a quick fix and release from overwhelming desires - disengage. (click)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto stations retrograde on Tuesday (USA) in trine to Mars Rx in Virgo and trine Jupiter in Taurus.  That’s gonna tap the primal instincts and crank up the volume on the libido.  Especially true since Moon is trine Sun and Uranus from free – wheeling Sagittarius.

Emotions and instincts are expansive and we are communicating them. Mercury is coming up to dance with Uranus in Aries again, so surprises are on the way from men in your life.  Communications with women or lovers are favored with a quintile between Mercury and Venus.

questions and comments welcomed…
