PLUTO SQUARE THE LUNAR NODES 23rd July 2023

𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥

Pluto has been in orb from February onwards, but now he is 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 squaring the Nodes in July. He will keep influencing the Nodes until December, so plenty of time for us to get tested while we get accustomed to our new identity😄

Do you remember the last time you felt really sick? Maybe you went through a huge detox, which had your body in shambles, purging and sweating out all the toxins. Or your stomach was not agreeing with something. At some point, you probably were not even sure if you are still alive. But once you were over the hump, you started to feel amazing. A brand new being emerging, ready to conquer the world. This is what we can expect with this planetary conversation.⁣

Only recently, the path of humanity shifted from the Taurus/Scorpio Axis to Aries/Libra and we're already being challenged by Pluto in our new direction. The Pluto square comes with an internal hunger - the hunger to burn the old identity to the ground, annihilate what has been and rebirth as a completely new human race. An independent race, that is capable to take inspired action (Aries), while not letting anyone censor our thoughts and words (Libra). I have talked a lot about the Aries North Node, but the Lunar Nodes always come as an axis of 2 signs. So I'll take the opportunity and talk a bit more about the Libra South Node. The South Node is what we know, what is familiar to us and what we are good at. But it can also be the source of potential hiccups and can represent things we need to let go.

Libra is often associated with harmony and peace, but that is only half the truth. Libra's original meaning is cardinal air which literally means unfiltered words. Libra has 100 questions they can fire at you at lightning speed. And some of us have asked many critical questions in the past couple of years. But there comes a point when all the questions have been asked. When we have given and received all the information there is. And then it's time for action.

Some have not been fully in their energy and let others censor them. Now we can grow into our fullest potential. Now we've got the chance to find the balance between taking action and asking questions. We are rebirthing a human race that is unstoppable and uncensorable. Forging ahead with a new identity, leaving the past in the past. The Lunar Nodes will guide us back to our path, anytime we might feel lost. And while Pluto might put some obstacles in our way to test us, it's to make us stronger and more resilient than ever before.

PLUTO RETROGRADE 1st May until 11th October 2023

𝘗𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳⁣

As we are going through the motions of transformation with Pluto, remember all that Pluto wants is to liberate your soul by transmuting everything that is keeping you disempowered. Yes, it might be uncomfortable, it might even hurt as hell being confronted with all of the yucky stuff we will be faced with. But working through this will ultimately set you free. ⁣

I was shown a beautiful reminder last night of a story that when you help a butterfly out of its cocoon it will never be able to fly. ⁣

Which also demonstrates that each of us needs to go through our transformational processes ourselves. That does not mean you have to go through them alone, there can be people holding space for you while you wriggle yourself out of that old cocoon. So don’t be afraid to reach out for somebody to listen to you and be the witness while you emerge from it. But you need to do the work.

The same goes for all the lightworkers, spiritual teachers etc. With my astrology clients, I try my best to resist the urge to peel off the layers FOR them, I let them do it step by step, because that is real empowerment. You can cheer them on, console them, and guide them but do not interfere with that hatching process. It is no coincidence that Pluto is the planet of death and empowerment. If you are not acting from your own power, the beautiful butterfly you aspire to be won’t be able to fly. The effort to come out of the cocoon is exactly what strengthens your wings for the future.⁣

PLUTO SQUARE THE LUNAR NODES & hybrid eclipse in Aries 20th April 2023

𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴 ⁣

There has been much talk about this 2nd Aries new moon and hybrid eclipse that happened today. But I want to talk more about the bigger picture tapestry upon which this is happening. Pluto has been squaring the lunar nodes since the 23rd of March and will continue to put pressure on the path of evolution for humanity until December this year. ⁣

Death and transformation are Pluto territory, and I remember saying at the beginning of the year that this year will be a Plutonian year. This would explain why lots of people I know and I myself have been going through transformation, grief & death processes lately. Some are grieving with seemingly no cause, some are grieving due to very physical causes. Either going through identity deaths or real deaths in our families and social network. Our own little worlds are falling apart while the world in general is doing so simultaneously. But Pluto will also help us get back into our power if we let go of what was.⁣

The Lunar nodes in astrology describe the emotional lessons that need to be learned: they show the evolutionary path towards an unknown territory and what old comfort zone we need to leave behind. We are at the crossroads, deciding where our next steps in transformation will take us: Do we take the path towards the North Node in Taurus or do we go back to the South Node in Scorpio?⁣

The Taurus North Node invites us to create a sense of stability within ourselves and our environment. By coming more into our bodies, connecting with nature, and letting her help us regulate our nervous system. Taurus means practical grounded wisdom and rolling up our sleeves to get to work. Like a bull plowing through and doing what needs to be done. ⁣

By leaving behind the Scorpio South Node, we can finally move away from the emotional intensity and drama, the grudges, and the resentment that might have been building up since December 2021. Instead of seeing the enemy around every corner we can drop the conspiracy glasses and get to work on building a new future. Now that we found out how corrupt this world is, let’s change it! ⁣

This is the last opportunity to really dial in that particular lesson before the nodes switch signs in July. ⁣

With the Aries new moon & eclipse adding fuel to this constellation, we humans can now find out who we are. What does it mean to be a human of Earth? We’ll hopefully discover and protect the vision we stand for. No more following any arbitrary rules but questioning and challenging authorities, exploring what else is possible, and marching to our own drum. It’s truly initiation time for humanity 2.0. ⁣

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS 23rd March 2023

𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺! (𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵?)⁣

No matter how much or little you are interested in astrology, you certainly came across posts proclaiming that the world will soon change forever, within 1 day, and that day is TODAY - when Pluto moves into Aquarius While this is of course a hyped-up statement, we 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 experience some meaningful changes in collective themes over the next 20-odd years. Pluto only moves into Aquarius every 248 years, so this is a rare event indeed. However, we will do a bit of a back-and-forth dance, until Pluto moves 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 into the fixed Air sign Aquarius. The magnitude of change depends on what we as individuals and as a collective do with the energies and opportunities presented to us. ⁣

Since 2008 we’ve had our purge of the Capricorn themes - we are now about to enter the detox period for Aquarius topics.⁣

Pluto in Capricorn showed us how much we have been enslaved by our own physical desires and how we created physical structures and systems that domineer our modern life. It showed us how much we are not in touch with nature and our bodies, and how we distrust the self-healing ecosystem each of us carries within. We had the big opportunity to detox from materialism and witness the undoing of corporations and social structures, symbolized currently by the recent bank crashes. Interestingly, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers also started us off with this transformational period in 2008 when Pluto had just entered Capricorn the same year.⁣

When it comes to Pluto, there is always something that needs to die to liberate and empower us. We have seen the corruption regarding physical assets, corporations, money, and our bodies. While we are finishing the last bits of this phase of materialism, we are already dipping our toes into Aquarius. ⁣

With Aquarius, we will enter the realm of fixed air. ⁣

𝘍𝘪𝘹𝘦𝘥 energy means internalized, focused, observing⁣.

The element 𝘈𝘪𝘳 is about thinking, communicating, connecting.⁣

Therefore Aquarius says: MY thoughts, MY truth, MY community.⁣

The shadow of Aquarius can be a rigidity in thoughts that detaches us from our humanness. This consciousness may end up being so obsessed with highly idealistic thoughts for 'the betterment of society', that it disregards the individual will and sovereignty.⁣

Pluto brings about intense transformation when we meet it. Anything Pluto touches and changes can not be reversed anymore. It’s the crisis that leads to a catharsis – a long overdue purge that finally gets released. It brings up hidden aspects of ourselves and the world that change us irrevocably.⁣

In the next 20 years, we will therefore collectively have the opportunity to find our own authentic truth and voice. We will explore what it means to live in a community, while still maintaining our uniqueness. What it means to speak our truth even in the face of adversity. We will discover how our minds have been manipulated. And corruption regarding information & news will be revealed on a much bigger scale. And hopefully, from there we can build a truly equal, fair, and connected society.⁣

The ruler of Aquarius – Uranus – will add some interesting flavor to this, as it is concerned with technology, freedom, and reformation. That includes the darker side of these aspects as well.⁣ If our truth will continue to be affected by groupthink and censored by technology for 'the greater good‘, or if we find a way to allow everyone their freedom of speech and transform into a REAL cooperative community, only time will tell.⁣

Pluto will go back into Capricorn twice, before staying put in Aquarius in 2024 for the next 2 decades. So the next 3 months are just a teaser of what we might be learning as a collective. Going back into Capricorn on 12th June will be a great opportunity to tie up some loose ends regarding the Capricorn themes, so we have a clean slate when moving to the next stage.⁣

VENUS CONJUNCT PLUTO January 1 until 7, 2023

The Power of the Heart

We are starting the new year with this powerful alignment – and Pluto will play an important role again later on in March, Venus will be retrograde this year. I am getting a feeling this could be transformational year for all of us.

Venus is all about the divine spark that manifests inside of us when we look at somebody we love or the awe a beautiful flower or painting evokes in us. It is our heart energy that gets activated through Venus. What is dear to our heart also concerns our values (external values like money and internal ones) & who or what we find attractive. Venus wants to connect to another. Venusian themes are: love, beauty, heart expression, pleasure and attraction.

Pluto is not as likeable at first sight, since it usually means intense transformation when we meet it.
It’s the mushy state that a caterpillar is in before it turns into a butterfly. And anything Pluto touches and changes can not be reversed anymore. It’s the crisis that leads to a catharsis – a long overdue purge that finally gets release. Power, death & rebirth, renewal and hidden aspects are Plutonian themes.

This being a conjunction (meaning both planets huddle really close together) indicates a new cycle of the power of the heart. A renewal of our value system – what values do we want to keep, which ones can we toss out? Like a Marie Kondo detox but for your heart. Where we intensely question how much power do we give another? How much do we obsess over somebody or something close to our heart?
You might find yourself needing more intense and intimate relationships – surface level just does not cut it anymore. But make sure this does not turn into manipulation and control dynamics. Meet your own needs and work on empowering each other instead.
You could find yourself diving deep into creative pursuits – I have painted for hours yesterday, I was so immersed in the process I did not even realise it was getting dark again.
Very cliché mundane themes for the next couple of days of this transit could be transformational sex or clearing your wallet from all those old receipts you no longer need. Financial corruption coming to the surface would be another possibility or finding out hidden aspects about somebody we love.
I hope the latter is not the case – but then again, Pluto only brings to the surface what needs to come out 😊
