During this period of the month – approximately the middle
of July – Pluto transits the Sun, deeply influencing the Cardinal signs of the
zodiac: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and
Capricorn. In astrology, Pluto is unanimously accepted as the master of transformation,
creating waves of change in our lives as Pluto’s energies impact us on a soul-deep
level. Pluto forces us to face the darkest and most well-hidden parts of our
inner selves, thus leading to a true inner revolution.
The energies
of Pluto bring about important realizations about us in particular, and about
the world and life in general. This is why oftentimes Pluto transits engender
in us feeling of helplessness and powerlessness – we are forced to face ‘the
dark’ in order to find light and to grow. Things change on a deeper level,
inside of us, and with this shift of values, experiences, feelings, and so on comes
close encounter with the unknown. However, the bright side of this rather
turbulent inner transformation is that energies are released.
A Pluto transit is
a process of elimination which involves us letting go of who we aren’t so that
we may become who we truly are. In order to discover and to embrace our true
selves, we have to accept things as they come, every change and every
transformation, no matter how uncomfortable it may seem initially. We have to take
chances, to experiment different things, to commit to new projects, habits,
relationships, etc. Whatever we decide to focus on, Pluto brings its
contribution, speeding up things and quickening any process.
During Pluto's
transit, we should try to discover the root cause of our behavior. Why do we
act the way we do? Why are we so attached to our decisions? Why aren’t we
living in alignment with our inner universe, our values and dreams? Pluto
transiting to the Sun purges
useless informational baggage and makes us more receptive to our inner truth, getting
to our instincts and engaging them. We just have to relax and gracefully deal
with everything that Pluto sends our way, for everything is to our benefit
(helping us to discover our higher self, our truth).
Pluto’s transformative
energies don’t affect only our inner selves. Therefore, we should also focus on
the physical aspect, on our bodies, so that Pluto’s impact on our lives may encompass
all parts of our being and of our existence. The intense energy waves created
by Pluto as it transits are best dealt with through physical exercise. Physical
activity should be joined by a conscious effort to let go of what is
superfluous or unnecessarily weighing us down. We have to leave the past
behind, to embrace the present, and to start envisioning a brighter future,
thus taking an important leap forward in our lives.
Pluto transiting
to the Sun can unleash our creativity and personal power, leading to a change
in how we see ourselves. The Sun’s light and nurturing energies help us purge
social conditioning, and embrace instead our natural instincts. Taking charge
of our lives and changing our self-image have a dramatic impact on our vitality
– hint: it reaches a high level – and on our creative power. The influence of Pluto
renders us more charming and ambitious. It also turns us into human-sized magnets:
we attract the kind of people we like, the things we desire, and so on.
