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\u2019s 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). <\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<dl id=\"attachment_45875\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 265px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/255+web-daily.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45875 \" title=\"255+web-daily\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/255+web-daily.jpg?resize=255%2C159&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"159\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>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\u2019s evolution. Therefore, this conjunction about the expression of the soul contained within a form \u2013 your soul, your form.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t do it for someone, and society can\u2019t 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\u2019s bursting a form to allow one to evolve that suits our growth.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8212; the real ones, their shadows that we carry with us, the metaphorical substitutes we project onto in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, Pluto itself is not inherently all about destruction \u2013 though that can come into play. Pluto also comes with the keywords \u2018deep\u2019, \u2018irresistible\u2019, \u2018evolutionary\u2019, \u2018Dionysian\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>But what does that look like? Watch the video above for a clue. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There, did you see it? <\/p>\n<p>Did you see a modern incarnation of Dionysus expressing his soul through song? Did you hear lyrics about touch (an earthy, grounding sense &#8212; Capricorn) and about not being afraid of what might change as a result (evolution &#8212; Pluto)? Did you notice all of these trained and well-rehearsed musicians (which takes discipline) rocking out with passion <em>within a defined structure<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever Jim Morrison\u2019s personal proclivities when it came to alcohol and drugs, here his fire (he was a Sagittarius by Sun) was allowed a controlled burn. There is no guitar smashing or banshee screams \u2013 the presentation is formal \u2013 yet it\u2019s not dead or watered down. It\u2019s no surprise that Morrison burst form after form with his music in the 1960s, especially when you realize that his Sun, at 15+ Sagittarius, was square the Uranus-Pluto conjunction in mid-Virgo. That was <em>the<\/em> defining astrology of that era, and the most recent leg of the Uranus-Pluto revolution the world is warming up for now.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a question, then: Where do these ideas of fear and suffering come from? Usually they come from our own resistance to what growth asks for us, from clinging to things that no longer serve us.<\/p>\n<p>Mysti, a regular commenter on this blog, posted the following in a thread over the weekend, and it fits today\u2019s theme perfectly. She said it\u2019s a fragment of conversation with a teacher named Nisargadatta found on Fred Woodruff\u2019s site [emphasis hers, I believe]:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230; it is in the nature of truth or love, cosmic consciousness, whatever you want to call it, to express itself, to affirm itself, to overcome difficulties. Once you\u2019ve understood that the world is love in action, consciousness or love in action, you will look at it quite differently. But first your attitude to suffering must change. <em>Suffering is primarily a call for attention, which itself is a movement of love. <strong>More than happiness, love wants growth<\/strong>, the widening and deepening of awareness and consciousness and being. Whatever prevents that becomes a cause of pain, and love does not shirk from pain.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whatever prevents the soul\u2019s expression, the widening and deepening of awareness and love, becomes a source of pain. There are a lot of things that can get in our way, and it can be hard to see them for what they are; some of these obstacles to our soul\u2019s expression are not even our own, but carried through generations \u2013 something you may have come to understand better this month. <\/p>\n<p>This week, Mercury is transiting in forward motion the final degrees of its shadow, that segment of Sagittarius in which it was retrograde. As it does so, it will form conjunctions with all of those significant points and centaurs in mid-Sagittarius that have made the last month what it was, with all its insights. You might feel a little edgy again.  <\/p>\n<p>As we close out 2011 and embark on 2012, that fabled year, take this week\u2019s opportunity to review what Mercury has shown you about your spiritual beliefs, your ancestry and your connection to source. Sun-Pluto is asking you to express what you have learned about your soul. Maybe when Mercury finally leaves its shadow New Year\u2019s Day, you\u2019ll be ready to rock 2012 like Jim would have. <\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for insights on how this week&#8217;s astrology affects <strong>your<\/strong> personal Sun and rising signs?
