Hey Planetwaves,
Pluto’s shift into Capricorn opposes my Saturn at 0 Cancer. The first ingress last January coincided with me having an acupuncture treatment early in the day and going to a yoga class in the evening. It was pretty smooth all around and I just worked really hard on basic exercises to transform my physical/emotional structure with Asian healing technology. My Saturn is in my 9th house so there ya go.
This time came after I had been practicing Chinese martial arts, the internal kind like Taiji Chuan, and Baguazhang Kungfu as well as some Wushu Kungfu daily for a few months. The core of these practices is Qigong which are exercises that raise awareness of the flow of energy that the Chinese call Qi, the Hindus call Prana and we don’t have any equivalent word for at all. Using these exercises I’ve managed to heal my own back when my sacrum moved into a painful position. That was something that would occur every 2 years or so ever since I was a teenager.
Being currently in practice with Chinese martial arts when it happened (plus all the work my acupuncturist has done and all I learned from my yoga teacher about changing my posture) I was able to sense what was going on and cooperate with the pain to guide my muscles into a less tense, less painful, and overall more resilient arrangement.
