Today is Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011. The newly waxing Moon is in Aquarius. Whether you are back to work, still on vacation between holidays or still searching for a job and bracing yourself against next month’s bills, you may be sensing a subterranean evolution at work within you, and possibly some lingering edginess. The main influence is the Sun currently conjunct Pluto in early Capricorn (exact Thursday).
The Sun is almost always about expression. Capricorn, at its most fundamental level, has to do with form, thanks to ruling planet Saturn. At essence, Pluto is about our soul’s evolution. Therefore, this conjunction about the expression of the soul contained within a form – your soul, your form.
For some, working with soul energy is natural. Others waste energy kicking and screaming. Most of us probably fall somewhere in between, having good days and bad days until we get the hang of trust, love and surrender. But it can be done. The thing is, we can only each shepherd or allow our own evolution. You can’t do it for someone, and society can’t evolve as a whole unless all of us individuals are each doing our own work. Sometimes this translates into fully inhabiting a defined space; sometimes it’s bursting a form to allow one to evolve that suits our growth.
Does the idea of bursting forms sound frightening to you? Sun-Pluto in Capricorn can come with some fears: fear of breaking; fear of change; fear of progress, letting go, being real; fear of being trapped; fear of what our parents will think — the real ones, their shadows that we carry with us, the metaphorical substitutes we project onto in the world.
The thing is, Pluto itself is not inherently all about destruction – though that can come into play. Pluto also comes with the keywords ‘deep’, ‘irresistible’, ‘evolutionary’, ‘Dionysian’.
But what does that look like? Watch the video above for a clue.
