Let's dive a little deeper into the mid-week's energies since they are volatile and already active!
Gut-punched me today.
THIS is the time we want to be diving into them - before next week's Eclipse. I wanted to clear up when I said in the weekly, "don't go looking for trouble, leave what's under the bed under the bed", I am talking about NEXT WEEK and really throughout the Eclipse cycle.
This is the week to get things cleared up/to go deep. Before the Sun meets up with Venus this weekend which can be very healing for these Pluto squares!
Mid-week we have the Libra Sun, at 26 degrees, squaring a direct Pluto in Capricorn and we have Mercury, at 13 degrees Libra, opposing a retrograde Chiron in Aries. The Sun is answering to Venus who is squaring Pluto, too!
The Sun in Libra wants to keep things light/balanced - will pour pink paint over problems if she must to keep things on an even keel. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio and the freaking 'king of the underworld' will have none of that. So, when the solar light in polite Libra squares powerful Pluto we get to see what is underneath the polite smile, the charming words, THE PINK PAINT.
Here are the fears, control issues, the stuff we have stuffed, the stuff our relationships have stuffed, our compulsions, our jealousies - that are driving us.
It is important to be REAL now; to be honest.
If we are trying to manipulate someone or some situation - ie get someone to do what we want them to do - this will backfire. If we are thinking someone is trying to control/manipulate us they probably are. We don't want to be trying to control anyone or letting anyone control us. The only control we have/need is over OURSELVES.
The real power comes through the honesty. The lack of sugar coating, The lack of pink paint. The Pluto square is to the Sun, our solar energy, our ego, so if we can release the fear of failing, of not being seen, of not standing out, of not being accepted/loved and respond (not react) from our heart we will be MORE POWERFUL.
With Mercury opposing Chiron at the same time, the whole thing is likely to come through challenging words/information or a tense conversation. This can't be glossed over because of the Pluto square. The Moon will be in Leo answering to the Sun, so our emotions will be all caught up in our ego. In our relationships. Maybe in what other people think of us. We can't avoid the uncomfortable words even when we are feeling vulnerable/naked.
It is brave (Aries!) to speak of the way we are hurting and to really hold space/listen to someone else. It is brave to apologize if we are being/have been acting in ways that we are less than proud of.
The upcoming Eclipse energy, which is MEGA, will have less to work with/will inflict less damage if we are BRAVE now; if we are honest and real. And, this doesn't mean spewing crap all over someone else and if we do this, we will need to man up and apologize for it. We also can't be a 'crap' target.
We need to take responsibility for the situations we find ourselves in. We need to take responsibility for our part in challenging relationships/with challenging financial or intimacy situations.
Remember this is a time when very small actions, really the smallest possible actions will keep our momentum going if it supports our highest good. We want to be noticing what is coming into form (Saturn about to station direct!) and how our actions are contributing to this. We want to be fast on our feet with small changes as things veer off in unintended directions because they likely will with Mars in Gemini. We are born with an internal GPS and a natural impulse toward growth and integrity and wholeness. We are kind of just waiting for the circumstances to present themselves to support our blossoming. Sometimes those circumstances present as challenges. In this case - how do we handle or avoid POWER or becoming more POWERFUL?
