One of the things I talked about in my December horoscopes is this intense energy we’ve been surfing courtesy of a of Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus mashup. To put it simply, we’re being pushed to take a major step in our evolution this month — a trio of planets that demand nothing less.
But December is merely a chapter in a story that has been unfolding since 2008, the year that Pluto first arrived in the sign of Capricorn. Since then we’ve seen our whole world break and crumble and shift and rebuild. Pluto is the sign of non negotiable transformation. Capricorn is the sign of matter, physical reality, government, order, structure. And transform we did, aided by the arrival of Uranus in Aries in 2011 and a surge of energy that coalesced in the April 2014 cardinal grand cross.
To echo a comment I made on my Facebook page, I think we’re in the middle of something unprecedented in human history. We can see the effects of it, but we can’t see what’s making it happen. Astrology hints that something big is unfolding. The caustic square between Uranus and Pluto has been one place to look. It’s all about the personal work now and how we can positively effect the collective the more we transform and heal our wounds. Because as the recent Chiron station reminded us, our wounds are the wounds of the collective. Our sufferings and traumas mirror those in humanity.
I’ve been noticing that people feel really shaken right now. A lot of illusions and projections are coming up along with intensely polarized emotional energy. It’s imperative more than ever that we step up our self care game. If you need to talk to someone, find an ally or a therapist to talk to. If you need some physical or energy work, find a practitioner to work with. If you need some quiet time, carve out 10 minutes to meditate or go for a walk outside.
Alternatively the shaking is meant to get us to make a major change. Maybe it’s the career change we’ve been talking about forever. Maybe it’s the move or relationship change we’ve been meaning to take a new step in. Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus will say this month that you have to face what has been holding you back — doubt, fears, anxieties — and release them.
You can do this!
