Chart for Saturn square Pluto, cast for Kingston, NY.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By the way — Saturn square Pluto is right now. This is an interesting chart, and I have not said much about it. At the moment of the exact square, event one (the second is Jan 31, 2010 and the third is Aug. 21, 2010), the Moon is conjunct Venus in Scorpio. The aspect is exact at 10:19 am EST — less than an hour from the time I am writing this.<\/p>\n

That is a deeply passionate conjunction, as it brings together the two most common facets of our perception of feminine energy, mother and lover; or of you prefer, it resolves the nonexistent paradox that we so often perceive here. The Moon moves quickly; this is a hint of what can happen if we shift perspectives, or experiment with the idea that what we think of as opposites are not really opposites but contain one another.<\/p>\n

The Sun is at 23+ Scorpio, exactly square Neptune and closely square Chiron. This to me is a reminder about being honest. Most of what we lie about is sex; it’s a compulsion, designed to either deny desire in order to protect our reputation; to deny experience to avoid scandal; or to keep ourselves safely stuck. These are the walls that most typically close in on us, when we’re sitting around wondering where our life has gone. Sun-Chiron can feel like being “less than a man” or the expectation that men will be so (perhaps like father was). Few aspects say daddy issues like Sun-Chiron, but with Neptune in the mix, we might make up a story or put on a glamor to help gloss it over. That gloss is now what is coming into focus, or rather, into question.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite esoteric writers (the secret author of a book credited to someone else, with whom I happen to correspond) wrote to me recently about the relationship between Saturn in Libra and facades. That is, our obsession with image, which in part she attributes to a Libra quality. I am developing this concept and my sense is that this square between Saturn and Pluto is indeed about the surface layer cracking and falling off.<\/p>\n

If that happened, it would change our society and our social interactions quite a lot. Many people would feel entirely lost.<\/p>\n

Other notes: Ceres square Nessus — we don’t need to be dragging around the sexual injuries of our mothers, which are abundant; and at the least it helps to be aware that is what we’re doing, when we’re doing it. This is one not to underestimate. You don’t necessarily know what happened to mom and you have not necessarily accounted for the influence of her experiences and viewpoints on who you are, and why you struggle. (With any luck I will have a friend’s essay to post on this subject later today.)<\/p>\n

Last, Mercury is in the last degree of Scorpio. Keep your sense of humor. I often think of some lines written by one of my musical\/literary heroes Laurie Anderson (I am doing this from memory so a word or two might be off): If I was the president, if I were king for a day, I’d give the ugly people all the money. I’d rewrite the book of love, and make it funny.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
