Squeaking is a good sign

The lord of the underworld reaches through the earth with his powerful right hand and pulls down the Moon. Your emotions seem to be captured by what feels like unseen forces. Pluto is all about the use of power, and it’s effects can take you to the transformational taproot or to suffering by resistance. The unfolding of our highest spiritual faculties is not going to be without some stretch, shock, and creaking joints. Ever sat quietly in a tall cornfield? The corn squeaks as it twists and grows in it’s sheath.
The Force of growing is with you.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Eat the breakfast of champions because you’ll feel like getting out and doing something exciting, and distinctively you. There’s also some oppositional energy this afternoon that catches a conflict in you between home and career. If you find yourself in a conflict with another person under this Pluto transit, try to be an objective “observer.” In that way you can see what buttons got pushed, and therefore what Pluto wants transformed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
There’s a little fire in your belly this morning from a misdirected strike by the god of lightening. It stirred up a need for excitement, something off the beaten path. There’s a rebellious energy looking for expression. You may even become so determined to chart your own course that if someone tries to tell you what to do, you’ll do the opposite. Pluto’s offering up some opposition, but not thoughtlessly. He’s exposing fears to the soft moonlight, a little at a time.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This morning finds you with butterflies inside, all looking for an escape route! You want the stretch of freeing a part of yourself that has been restricted. When the lord of the underworld reaches for an event that pulls your feelings in for a closer look, he’s freeing up fears that would restrict you. The hard part to understand in a Pluto conflict is that unconscious, or dimly conscious, material is operating. Likely something you’ve put off dealing with, either you were too busy, in denial, or just plain ol’ didn’t want to face it. Now is the time. Freedom’s the goal.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
The morning is fresh with the need for excitement and something new for your career. With the Cancer Moon opposing Pluto at 2:07 PST this afternoon, you’ll have a day of profound emotional experiences that seem to come to you from external events and other people. Through your relationships you’ll get to see a side of yourself that’s usually dormant or hidden. Pluto would help you transform it.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
You start your day with the Braveheart feeling of wanting to scream “freedom.” Even if you’re not sure what you want to be free of! You’re in a warm-hearted, friendly mood. Then some oppositional storms appear, and something happens that gives you a different view of yourself, another side you hadn’t considered. Any conflict generated by the opposing forces of an emotionally sensitive Moon, and an underworld character like Pluto, is a beneficial event if you can keep some objectivity. Look from the mountain top.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Experiment with excitement this morning. You’ll feel like doing something rebellious, just for the space it opens up in your feelings. And you’d like to take some friends along for the ride. Later today the lord of the underworld rumbles around through some intense emotions. A so-called “Freudian slip” that pops out today is very likely a good and meaningful clue to a transformation that Pluto wants you to make. Soon, through Neptune’s compassion, we’ll “see” that our perception is a projection of our own thoughts.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You feel a warm glow inside this morning and you want to share it with others. You feel like being with friends, and initiating some unusual adventure. Any routine is going to seem boring. The Pluto/Moon opposition later today can feel like you’ve been “possessed” by some faintly familiar demon. You know it’s happening, but you just can’t seem to shake it. Or stop yourself from acting on it. Obsessions are one of the ego’s favorite devices to keep you from spirit. Break it. Pluto would set fire to it!

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Even though it’s Saturday, you wake up with ambitious excitement about your work. Something unusual that will put a lively touch to you job (paid or unpaid) is what you’re looking for. Later in the day Pluto gets involved, and you’ve got an obsessive thought running around in your head that you can’t shake. You may feel driven to speak out, even if you know it’s a bad idea. Try to be a calm observer, and you could learn something new about yourself.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
You wake up with your hair on fire! Looking for excitement, something unusual that stalls the old routines long enough for you to shift gears. Later in the day something gets unearthed in your psyche, perhaps by another person or event challenging you. Try to take a step back from any conflict that presents itself. You’re being shown some hidden material, which is best understood in a calm moment, and is designed to free you.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Generous Jupiter sweetens your morning coffee with creativity. And that juice helps you add some excitement to the changes happening on the home front. Some challenging opposition disturbs you sense of who you are. You may find that someone is trying to provoke you by pushing some emotional buttons, likely guilt or blame. You reach for your rational mind, but your gut reaction has already “possessed” you. Notice it. This is where your transformation is happening.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
You’re feeling rebellious this morning, ready to break the lock on a restrictive cage. This path can lead you to something quite ingenious. Later in the day you’ll meet with some oppositional persons or events that reveal something hidden, probably a fear. This is your razor’s edge. Since Pluto’s involved, you can bet it’ll be intense. Spiritual paths that have not worked before are those that deny the depth of the darkness. The goal is compassion for the insanity of the world, that rubs off on everyone, and that calls for forgiveness.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
It may seem like a fabulously exciting idea to take off shopping at the local flea market you’ve been hearing about. You’ll do this over protests, for you must have the freedom to do what you want. The day will have some intense encounters with friends. You’ll feel “driven” to speak or act on an idea that is obsessively stirring up your feelings. You may even be consciously aware that you’d be better off practicing restraint, but you do it anyway! The need to exert control, to be dominant, can be overpowering when Pluto is involved with your emotions, as it the case today. It’s a clue to what needs to be transformed, so that your spiritual life can grow deeper.
