Pluto Stations - Change is Inevitable

"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

— Saint Thomas

Libra's desire for balance and cooperation is challenged this week. We're still looking towards the visionary inspiration of last month's Jupiter-Neptune square but now, finding a route to cooperation and collaboration requires specificity and articulate communication — hampered this week by a distracting emotional haze. We are also likely to recognize that charm and smooth talk does not get us nearly as far as we believe it should. The Juno-Neptune opposition culminates this week, challenging the rosy glow of charm with nagging questions of equity and fair-play. In essence, we are asked to clear away multiple layers of cloudy emotions and ill-defined ideas, and speak our truth clearly and articulately — letting others know where we're really coming from. This week's Venus-Pluto square is likely to encourage us to try to control the message in order to control the response — but it won't work. Mercury leaves indecisive Libra for determined Scorpio this week; Pluto stations to turn direct; Mars leaves Virgo for Libra. These shifts all increase the pace of change but it may not feel very smooth. In fact, it may feel very messy, uncomfortable, and emotional. Nonetheless, this is an environment where the path is narrowing significantly and we aren't allowed to step very far outside the guidance that the Universe is providing. By Friday, we may find ourselves feeling quite wrung out but once we're wrung out, we can begin to see the bigger picture with some degree of detachment and pragmatism.

Attempts to control on Sunday need to be reigned in by responsibility in order to side-step some challenging relationship dynamics. There is a strong imperative to demonstrate tangible progress on Monday but we may find ourselves distracted by criticism and fault-finding. Demands for fairness and equity overcome the rosy glow of charm on Tuesday. Nonetheless, it isn't easy to clearly articulate exactly how we want things to change. Pluto stations direct on Wednesday ahead of the entrances of Mercury into Scorpio and Mars into Libra on Thursday. The swirl of emotions tends to keep us isolated and obscures our view of the bigger picture — which is that things are changing more quickly than we can fully comprehend. Isolation begins to break down on Friday and our emotions are wrung out by the series of challenges that we face. However, there are important lessons and insights available if we can stay centered and focused. By Saturday, we begin to grasp a bigger picture and see a tangible, pragmatic way forward.
