To amplify Venus Square Pluto aspect that just passed, Pluto himself is stationing direct at 20 degrees Capricorn. Pluto began his retrograde journey on April 24 at 23 degrees. During the past 5 months we may have seen sides of ourselves or others that we’ve had a difficult time accepting. Pluto retrograde unearths our shadow side and the trauma that created it, and asks us to heal those parts that we would normally cast aside and hide away. Hopefully during this time we’ve taken the opportunity to face this darkness with compassion, instead of allowing it to take control and spiral outwardly into drama, trauma, and conflict. In the process of healing we’ve become more whole and empowered. Now with Pluto turning direct our new sense of confidence and power will launch us forward to claim our life and choices. Get clear on what you want to create and how you want to show up. Pluto demands integrity, honesty, and authenticity. Take these values with you into every situation you encounter. This builds your own personal power while honoring others in the process.
