Family Power Plays and Pluto

the view from Pluto

  

In many ways families are the microcosm for studying the effects of planets at work in synastry, natally and by transit. I’m watching one unfold in my immediate family between my Aries SO and his younger daughter. She is currently in the early stages of transiting Pluto approaching her natal Capricorn Moon and is heading into the second pass of her Saturn Return. She also has Pluto in Libra conjunct her Ascendant and so far her reaction to that natal aspect is to attempt to dominate and control every aspect of her life . . . . [Yeah, [...]

Latest Healthcare News, Pluto in Capricorn & Saturn in Virgo

If you have been following the news recently, more facts are emerging pointing to a very bad return on the dollars being spent on health-care in this country.

I have a strong Scorpio Rising with Mars/Mercury in Scorpio conjunct it – the co-rulers of Scorpio are . . . tah dah, MARS & PLUTO!! Therefore it follows whenever we have Mars and Pluto aspecting each other; I’m going to feel it even if the degrees activated don’t match up to planets and Angles in my chart. But it took this last [...]

The Importance of Touch and Pluto in Earth

The comments on my previous post have kicked my Scorpio brain into high gear! Now I’m mulling over the connection between Pluto in Sagittarius square to Uranus in Pisces and the trend to isolate ourselves in our little techno worlds where we communicate largely through audio-visual means. Pluto in Sagittarius sextile to Uranus in Aquarius may have been the first stages of this trend with experimental Uranus leading and the Sagittarius need for freedom upping the ante. Now with the shift into Earth, is it possible we will begin to understand how vital touch is to our mental, [...]
