This week Pluto stands still, a message to settle down. Today, Pluto entered the 36th arc minute of the 12th degree of Capricorn, where it will commence retrograde motion Friday; it remains in that same degree and arc minute until next Tuesday. For perspective, there are 360 degrees on the zodiac circle, and an arc minute is one 60th of one tiny degree.
In other words, Pluto is all but standing still. Because of what it represents for astrologers, this would be a good time to emulate Pluto’s example and cultivate some stillness for yourself.
Pluto actually represents many things to different astrologers. If you were to collect all of those interpretations, meanings and functions, however, they would have at least one thing in common: that which is not immediately apparent.
If you are unsettled, you cannot perceive, understand or work with what is not immediately apparent. As Planet Waves blogger Fe Bongolan eloquently illustrated nearly three years ago, that’s how propagandists work.
It’s also possible to make yourself unsettled. You can keep the coffee coming. You can turn the music up. You can keep pushing for an answer. The self-oriented wildfire energies of Aries, where the Sun is now, would support feeling justified in doing such things. You may, in fact, be so justified. You may also miss a great deal in the bargain.
