Get Ready, Because Pluto Is Bringing Some Hard Truths to Light

While the first part of our day should go smoothly, this afternoon the sun faces off with Pluto, and things we’ve tried to ignore make themselves known. This is an excellent opportunity to make some long-needed adjustments to our relationships with others (and ourselves). But don’t expect it to be all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.

The Moon is Sextile Neptune at 7:10 AM

While we were sleeping, the moon in emotional Cancer moved sextile of Neptune in dreamy Pisces. Expect this to bring up an active, vivid imagination and a good dose of empathy. Your sensitivity and emotions will heighten, and you’ll feel more in touch with not only your own feelings, but those around you as well.

You’ll be especially sensitive to negative energies, so be gentle with yourself. Your intuition and psychic abilities will be heightened at this time as well, and it would be a fantastic opportunity to work with a divination practice. You’ll also be more susceptible to lucid dreaming. Keep a journal by your bed to record everything you can remember from last night.

The Moon is Trine Jupiter at 10:03 AM

A few hours later, when the moon moves trine to Jupiter in Capricorn, things feel a bit lighter. It’s an ideal time to share your emotions with others, and your relationships will benefit from openness and honesty. You’re in a generous mood, and feeling very sociable. This transit can bring about social success and material gain.

The Sun is Sextile the Moon at 12:46 PM

A bit later, the sun in Cancer forms a sextile angle with the moon in Taurus. We get a positive boost of emotional energy that brings harmony to our relationships with friends and family. Our conscious and subconscious parts of our brains fall into balance, and the energy is chill and worry-free.

This is a good time to have a calm, collected conversation about a possibly contentious issue with a significant other. This balance and self confidence also make it an opportune time to promote yourself and take initiative in a work situation.

The Moon is Trine Pluto at 12:49 AM

When the moon forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn, you might experience an increase in sensitivity. You’re feeling things more powerfully and you’re easily moved by people – perhaps one person in particular, who you share karmic ties with. You could be drawn to darker, unspoken, or taboo subjects and are interested in probing not only your own feelings, but those of the people around you.

The Sun is Opposite Pluto at 1:20 PM

This afternoon, the sun in Taurus forms an opposition with Pluto in Capricorn. This transit can usher in intense and uncomfortable encounters, both with others and ourselves. Specifically, it can bring conflicts that have been quietly brewing under the surface to a head.

Pluto’s modus operandi is to break down and dismantle so that things can be rebuilt, and when it opposes the sun, that energy can’t be ignored. If there are areas in your life that need readjustment or an all-out fix, but you’ve been doing the bare minimum to keep things limping along, rest assured the Sun and Pluto are going to make you address those issues.

This isn’t necessarily all bad. Your relationships might improve after a clearing of the air and open communication. Or, you could make a breakthrough on a project you’ve been on the brink of finishing, but were too afraid to take the next step. Sometimes we need someone to force the issue in order to make progress. Today, that someone happens to be Pluto.

The Moon is Trine Saturn at 11:14 PM

Later tonight, our grounded moon in Taurus forms a trine with Saturn in Capricorn. This trine offers a stabilizing influence, and with it comes a sense of patience and emotional fortitude to tackle sensitive issues. Your friends and family may seek you out for advice.

In turn, it would be wise for you to seek out advice at this time, specifically from a trusted older woman in your life. It’s a great opportunity to reach out to elder members of your family, or to honor/seek out counsel from your ancestors.
