the Sun conjunct Pluto | will-power, the truth comes to light, the ability to influence our outcomes, let go and let God, the urge to purge, the urge to merge

parallels by Natalia Ciobanu

The Moon is void today from 9:25AM EST until midnight. This is not the day to start anything brand new or push anything into the world we need "something to come of".

The Moon magic from yesterday continues as she goes void off a sextile (opportunity) to the Sun, followed by a sextile to powerful Pluto.

The Sun meets Pluto at 20 degrees Capricorn. This has been happening annually in January since Pluto moved into Capricorn in 2008. Pluto starts a new cycle.

So, we have the Moon in Pisces - answering to a powerful Neptune, home in Pisces - sextiling Pluto and the Sun conjuncting Pluto. This is powerful energy. Self expression. Personal authority. Will-power. This transit can increase our ability to influence our outcomes. It can also feel heavy. We can come on too strong and rock the boat. On the other hand, someone is going to come on strong - it's OK to be that someone sometimes! Just be standing in your own truth, so you are still standing when the boat quakes. And if you are not still standing, know this is exactly the energy that allows us to get up again.

The Sun/Pluto shines a light on what is buried including complex relationship issues.

The truth comes to light. Our will (the Sun) unites with deep power (Pluto) or, if we are projecting this instead of owning it,  we meet this power outside ourselves in the form of a potential slap-down/manipulation. The lunar sextile lets us know there is opportunity from the actions we take with whatever comes to light now. It's not the time to hide from what is happening.

If something upsetting is going on - keep in mind, Pluto rules death and rebirth - and as the Sun moves off Pluto -

WE START A BRAND NEW CYCLE.

That sextile to the Moon in Pisces is saying - let go and let God. Make art. Listen to good music. Meditate. Pray. Start a spiritual practice. Rest. Heal.

This is excellent energy for purging, for eliminating the dead wood. Clear out your inbox. De-clutter. Eliminate manipulations/obsessions/compulsions. Just stop. Turn your attention to what you want and not what you don't want. Great energy for deep research. There is great energetic support right now for a clean up and fresh start.

I double dog dare you (yes, here is a manipulation to get things started!) to watch an episode or two of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and not be inspired to get rid of something.

Note the stuff that is happening in your own life and in the collective is a precursor to the huge 2020 energies (and the government in the U.S. is shut down and 800,000 people are out of work). There is a little bit of wiggle room here ... for now. What needs to be wiggled?

making something REAL | Pinocchio aspects, stay in your magic baby

New dress by Natalia Ciobanu

Today (and tomorrow) our waxing Pisces Moon provides the fertile soil our New Moon last weekend was lacking.

Over the next two days she will sextile (opportunity) communicative Mercury then stable Saturn, square (creative tension) expansive Jupiter, conjunct (immerse herself with and in Pisces, she is answering to Neptune) dreamy, imaginative Neptune and finally sextile (opportunity) Pluto and the Sun - both in "make it real" Capricorn.

In older times magicians would be gathering their spell-books, healers their herbs and priests their flocks. All would be taking their words and actions seriously. All would be wanting their words and actions to be congruent. We will be as successful as we allow ourselves to be.

We have outer planet aspects on Friday and this weekend that connect to our story in the spring - so whatever we are doing now - deciding, eliminating - in the spring we will be either celebrating our actions/in-actions or kicking ourselves for them.

So, let's use this time intentionally!

We have had Venus back and forth through Scorpio for weeks and weeks - we know what we want!

(and if you think you don't, maybe ask yourself if you might already have it or if you are too burned out to feel it and then you need to give yourself a break!)

We want our words and actions to be crafting/casting for positive change. 

The Sun meets Pluto tomorrow, so it's not the time to be holding on to something that is dead/dying.

A new cycle is being birthed from the ashes.

1. Clear a space - honestly we could spend this entire two day period cleaning our house and it would be time well-spent; setting up a clean slate, giving ourselves the gift of tidiness, showing appreciation/love for our physical space. Intending for much to flourish here over time.

2. Keep a personal focus - we don't want to be focusing/thinking about/taking action on spaces that are not our spaces. Unless we have direct responsibility for someone else - they are our young child or we have their legal power of attorney - using this energy to influence/manipulate someone else (this is called black magic, folks) is not a good idea. We all have free will and it can't be interfered with.

Think about what you are thinking about. Think about the actions you are taking.

Do you own this?

If you knew the stuff you are to do/say/think over the next couple days matter more than they look like they do - how would you spend your time/resources/attention?

3. Take some kind of action - spellcasting (intentionally intending) has to connect to the real world or it just stays in the ethereal realms - which isn't a bad thing, but is maybe not what we are hoping for. Things have to line up - our word/thoughts with our actual deeds - for things to function. We are a few days past the New Moon now - the Moon is waxing (growing) - it's action time.

For Pinocchio to become a real boy, he needed to prove himself to be "brave, truthful and unselfish", but first Geppetto had to actually carve him from a piece of wood.

It doesn't have to be a big thing. But it might be.

Doors are opening. Mountains are moving. Your muses/angels are standing by. Stay sober and present. Don't toss this energy away with alcohol or Netflix marathons. Connect with other people. Promote yourself. Send that email.

If you find yourself drifting into something unintentionally now, pull yourself back to yourself.

Clean the bathroom.
