I went to the Ash Wednesday service and participated in the Phoenix Rising Ceremony" at Spiritual Life Center which is an interfaith unity church. Reverend Michael Moran is the pastor there.

The Phoenix rising ceremony uses the immage of the mythological bird, the phoenix, which every five hundred years would build its own funeral fire so that it could be consumed by the fire and reduced to the ashes

The things that I wrote down on a paper and threw in the fire to be released
1. fears
2. insecurities
3. my feelings for my exgirlfriend,Meghann
4. past pain,suffering

Phoinix in 14'58 Aries in 11th (fellowship)
conjunct Venus (love) in 13'35 Aries in 11th (fellowship)

On March 1st, Lee Carroll,author of the Indigo Children series and channeler of Kryon, will be holding a 5 hour lecture at Christ Unity Church. Reverend Jim Lee is the pastor at that that church.
Because I was told that I was meant to work with the Crystal,Indigo Children, I thought going to his lecture would help me learn more about the Indigo,Crystal children concept and maybe even get the chance to communicate with him.

so Pluto can be about letting go...it can be about getting rid of what is not useful. It is the planet associated with elimination,transformation,death

Scorpio is the same thing
the highest form of Scorpio is the Phoenix which is the mythical birth of transformation. It dies and rises from the ashes. Scorpio,Pluto,8th is about the same thing.

I have Sun,Mercury,and Venus in Scorpio myself. I have Venus and Pluto in Libra in mutual reception. I also have Venus septile Pluto with 32 minutes of arc. My Venus squares Mars, Scorpio's co-ruler. I know all about obsession, but also know about the need to let go in regards to eliminating what's not useful and already dead. Transformation is major part of my life. Letting go of somebody that I love is so hard,but it is something that I have to do. They say that when one chapter closes,another begins. That can be birth,death,rebirth.

When you let go of somebody,you are making room for somebody else to come into your life. If you don't let go of that person, then all you're doing is prevent somebody new to come into your life.
