As the Full Moon of Saturday evening shines its reflected light back to the Sun and toward the earth between them, its rays presage a rather exciting time or even a moment of decision, since the Moon conjuncts Uranus and makes an almost perfect square to Pluto, catching Pluto in a T-square between the Sun and Moon. Epiphany is in the air, no doubt about it, as these powerhouse planets square off once more by being triggered in this manner. We are caught in the midst of energies that we can attempt to understand but never tame, as we go around one more time on the carousel wheel of our evolving destiny.
Uranus and the Moon in radically individualistic Aries indicate that the discovery of our unique identity has priority over everything, while the Sun in the first decant of Libra speaks of relationship to others around us, indicating that only by cooperation and mutual education will we be able to make our way forward. Meanwhile Pluto in the society-orientated sign of Capricorn bespeaks the break-down and eventual transformation of the social matrix that surrounds us and which holds our lives in its loose grasp as the sea holds its fish. The signs of the dissolution of normative values are all around us, leaving us with the choice to either go under or to find a new way to survive.
Complicating this picture still further, Saturn hovers on the brink of its entrance into the sign of Scorpio, the sign that Pluto rules, indicating that the hard work of personal transformation is only just beginning. When Saturn goes into Scorpio on October 5th it trines Neptune in its own sign of Pisces, a factor which brings our dreams even closer to the surface of our consciousness than they have been up to now, which is a good thing, because it will take all of our imaginative power, coupled with the focus represented by Saturn, to pull us through.
At this important juncture we face difficulties in our personal lives and have, as always, the moment of choice right before us as to whether to rise above them or to succumb. And each time we choose wisely for ourselves we bring everyone else on the planet along with us in some tiny way; it just works like that. So we might be able to take heart in the notion that while our situation is dire, both individually and collectively, we have within us the power to make change happen.
We can do something for ourselves, and for our society, by taking each small step forward in what we can feel within us to be the direction that our Higher Self and that the universe intends for us to go. The situation is stark and the moment of our decision looms before us, as it does in every moment, really. We win when we choose life and change over resignation and stasis, although that choice is never easy.
