If anyone wondered how the Mars/Pluto square would work out this last week – we have had a clear indication these last few days of how they impact on the collective psyches of those intent on mayhem and murder.

There are new players on the block in Iraq with the intriguing name of ISIS and they burst into our sights during the Mars/Pluto square of this last week. Now Mars is taking Pluto’s energy to Uranus and no doubt it will all escalate even further. The poor innocent people suffering at the hands of this powerful energy break our hearts. And yet what can be done?

All we can do is observe and remember – the importance of witnessing is vital in the recovery of those who are victims of violence. To verify their anguish when it’s all over will help them build their lives anew – and as always, some will be broken and some will be strengthened. One hopes that they will be ready to build new lives rather than sink even further into vengeance. Both these options are available to Pluto, that’s why it’s such a tricky planet to predict an outcome.

In client work it’s possible to say that the road with Pluto as your companion – either natally or by transit as now in the skies – can be hard and stony along the way. However, it will take us through the dark times with the hope that we will emerge into some kind of inner resolution and Soul connection. Eventually, that is, as the transit can have a 5 year effect. Always along the way, we get glimpses of the possibilities on offer, then head down into struggles again, until we know that it is well and truly over.

As individuals, we have a choice, of course – we always have a choice – and it’s the choice between being happy to live through our transformation and wait with curiosity as to where it will bring us; or we can choose to fight it and find ourselves locked in to Pluto’s deep caves for a number of years. To be happy is a conscious choice, to fight is an habitual unconscious reaction to life’s difficulties. It sounds easy either way and yet it may not be.

Pluto represents the deepest truths that we carry within ourselves which need to be brought into the light and faced.This can be alarming or even terrifying for some. And yet, sometimes just looking at them squarely and acknowledging their presence in your being, can disarm them and clear your way to real inner health. To be able to say “Yes, this happened in my early life and I buried it as deeply as I could” paves the way for release and clarity. And you don’t have to carry it around any longer. It could be a burden from any of the lives you’ve lived along the millennia or this lifetime – Pluto doesn’t care.

If your reaction is to attempt fight it, then Pluto will attract circumstances and relationships to enable your freedom from them. As long as you know what’s happening – an astrology can help with this information and your understanding of it. Then you have the lens of knowledge to help you let this “stuff” go and be reborn into a new life.

Uranus offers a completely different kind of energy as it combines with Mars as it can bring some solutions from the outside world of democracy. Uranus and Mars can work together to create freedom from difficulties in some new and unthought of way – particularly through the use of technologies. Once again we can  watch with interest as the  Western nations swing into action to “do” something with their superior weaponry. Uranus, by the way, is the ruling planet of Barak Obama’s Aquarius Ascendant.

Your Zodiac Signs  – Sun, Moon or Ascendant

Mercury goes back to meet up with the Sun again in his retrograde loop through the skies – this is known as an “Inferior Conjunction”. As they come together, they create a flowing aspect of 120 degrees (trine) to the Moon’s Nodes in Libra, which reflect Destiny and Karma on your chart. In reality, they are the points where both Solar and Lunar Eclipses occur and have a 19 year cycle as they move backwards around the Earth. This can be an 18 month process – so you have plenty time to work with it.

NB – The readings below can either be read from your Sun Sign – ie your birthday – or your Ascendant sign, which is calculated from your time of birth. Try also reading it from your Moon Sign, as Hindu astrologers suggest. You may even read them all together for an even broader picture of your life.
