Sure Pluto conjunct Moon can be intense but it will change your path in a way that will feel more ¡¥right¡¦ afterwards. I remember that from the opposition to my Moon. A lot needed to be let go of in the meantime though of course. The houses are very important, whatever house your Moon rules and is sat in will take centre stage for the next year or two.

I agree with you and already start to feel more "right"! Thank you for the insight. My moon is in second house, and somewhat rules 8th house... but these are my intercepted signs. I understand I need Gemini people and to utilize Gemini traits to access the 8th house Cancer, and Sag people and thoughts to utilize 2nd. I think this transit will serve to break me loose, and break up this stagnant trapped energy. So my Sag thoughts and ideas can get into the 2nd house and now actually come to fruition, be brought out of my head and in to real life. This is my suspicion.

Ah the good old interceptions eh, they can be a little awkward to express as clearly can't they. I think you're right on with looking at the Gemini/Sagittarius axis as a key expression. For me the 2nd house is a lot about self nurture; eating great healthy food, looking after the skin, having a lot of hugs and tactility in relationships. The 'routines' will strengthen any flux from Pluto to the Moon hopefully.

Intuition too, it's such a great guide to us at times, especially where the 8th comes in to play~~~ :-)

Ahhhh I just clicked on your chart, Chiron Asc is a tough one, so very 'exposed' to the outside world. It must be very draining to be around angry or negative people. I see that Uranus opposite your Jupiter is throwing a bit of chaos your way and most likely bringing up feelings/fear of loss etc. the Saturn sextile though is great!
That Moon-Venus conjunct is fabulous too! Wow! I think you are being a little too hard yourself, I know that Mars-Saturn folk tend to be very self-critical and very rarely satisfied with your achievements but you've got great ingredients in your chart to achieve anything you want. Sure the Pluto square to Moon-Venus isn't a breeze, but it gives you depth, insight and natural wisdom.

I have Saturn-Moon conjunct natally and it is what gives me the ability to be consistent, stable and reliable to those who matter in my life. The Pluto in the 12th squaring my Moon (not really my Saturn) can destabilise my confidence and clarity but it also gives me natural psychic ability and a 'knowing' that I just wouldn't have otherwise.

All of our attributes can become our strengths and you have great financial potential in your chart too!

---

Good for me that you clicked on my chart.
Thank you!

Always have to meet negative people and negative environment/situation. Feelings/fear of loss are always there.
Moon-Venus Conjunct is fabulous but where can I use it and how ?
I'm very very self-critical may be cos I have failed to utilize my inborn raw power/talents yet.
BTW, you mistook Trine with Square.
I have Pluto Trine with both Venus and Moon. But Pluto Square with Sun and Mercury.
I have very little psychic ability too.
I use to see Predictive Dreams some times.
May be due to excess water in my chart ?

Beautiful!

Saturn-Mars-Pluto square the Mercury-Sun is another story of course. You have an incredible power when you feel strongly about something. This is a great thing if you learn to focus and hone the energy. The Saturn will restrain the output a little anyway, basically you need to find your passion. There will be certain things which matter a *lot* to you, if you can get behind one of them....a cause, then your energy will flow better and so will the self love.

What do you remember really feeling strongly about when you were a child? We're born close to our life paths and then they pushed out of us by our peers or schools.

So Mars in a water house *and* in contact with Neptune, yes this definitely softens the expression of Aries somewhat! Even more dissipated by the Pisces IC, in fact I can imagine your family are/were quite controlling, where you tend to side-step conflict or social conditioning.

Very interesting. Do your nodes come into play here at all? Are they aspecting your IC/Mars position in any way?

Eye opening moment!!!!!

Waxlobster, you just gave me some insight here! If my 2nd house/8th is my intercepted sign axis, and you equated 2nd house with self care and 8th with intuition, no wonder these are the areas that have been soooo hard to trust and allow! And this is what I have been doing the entire year, learning to trust my intuition and strengthen it, and learning to balance myself.

Somna, I actually agree with wax lobster here- you have a lot of innate power in your chart! I am thinking you need to use that strong 6th house. Pluto, Jupiter, ceres... ruled by libra, and that Pluto and Jupiter are both trine Venus. So this to me represents you have strength and fortune here, but Ceres is reminding you to soften and nurture. Alot of scorpio and transformative energy can happen in your day to day life. I like this. I feel that by incorporating small behaviors in your daily life it will really open your mind to new possibilities and bring big change.

Great that you¡¦ve not had a controlling family, Neptune connected with the IC can be quite a complex picture but of course it depends on the rest of the chart for clarity. Interesting that the nodes are square your Mars though, I could feel that this conversation is connected to your path somehow¡K

Hi Somna,
I meant aspirations for you. Just YOU! Surely focusing on family and security are not your true *goals*? Different is good but what is it about you that is different? (This is rhetorical) What did you actually enjoy doing as a kid?

Ah StoneMoon, my pleasure. I wish you all the peace and fulfilment for this coming transit ļ

Hi Moongaze, well¡K.I would think Saturn transiting your MC would give you a lot of focus indeed! Keep rocking that grand trine this is a time to make waves in your career, or in a way that gives *you* a sense of self that really sets you on another level ƒº

Mars return coming up there Bumblebee!! Should be fun ļ

Did you feel it DrewMann?

I love be the top student of my class.
And I was one of the top student till 10th class. I used to like drawing and painting besides playing outdoor game in my free time and cycling(solo ride) to river side or to watch nature,scenery etc.
But quit playing outdoor game due to bully. After 10th grade my academic life degraded,quit drawing. But it was due to many circumferences. I never blame for myself for that. Only feel sad.

But, I never had any other special passion in my life besides above. At present I'm totally out of line. No aim or passion.

May be I need a Purpose in life ?
But, how ?

My Capricorn Mars 3H is my favorite part in my chart, because the rest of it is too crazy. The description you wrote is pretty accurate and I need physical activity to distress. It is also easier for me than some others in sports to push myself through physical pain and keep going. Having Pluto on my Mars for the last few years was very cool experience and I was able to finish graduate school while working and sleeping for 3-4 hours.

Also I think you mention something that I could relate to as a very good ability to plan ahead and follow through. My Mars is also square my nodes by 3 degrees.

Congrats on landing the teaching position and your qualifications too! It sounds like you have a lot going on right now, but also that you're right on track and stepping confidently on your life path. The square from Jupiter in Scorpio should give you a much needed energy boost over the coming weeks :-)

Thanks waxbobster!
I had open house yesterday and got to meet my students and families.

I had a week and a half to set up my class room. The teacher I took over for wasn’t organized either. Reorganizing.Decorating. Emailing parents. Printing more than my own weight in papers.

I like this kind of stress better than my last job. But since I have so much to do all the time, I just want people to shut up and be quiet sometimes. My boyfriend, my parents, my sister, my friend that is not working right now, my chatty assistant when I am trying to home.

I didn’t do my discussion board for my online class yesterday and I kind of don’t care. There is only so much I can do.

Now that my classroom is presentable, I can take a much needed personal day today.

Hoping I can take my car to the shop today I’ve been putting that off for 3 months. I’m going out of town next weekend. Hopefully I won’t be without a car too long.

Yes I think it¡¦s human nature to need a meaning or purpose. I look at cats and think they¡¦ve got it completely sorted, but us, we think too much. We have to meditate a lot to get to the point where we can be happily in the moment.

I believe that we incarnate with soul purposes too, not to say they need to be big or major areas of experience. Quieter lives are often the most fulfilling, but it is the fulfilment that is key here. If you¡¦re not fulfilled, you¡¦re probably out of line with your path. Obviously the path isn¡¦t one of consistent joy but there is a sense of recognition when we are learning what we planned to learn, no matter how tough it may be.

If you are amenable to the idea of past lives I would recommend reading one of Brian Weiss¡¦ books, or listening to one of his regression meditations. I find them deeply warming and nurturing on a soul level. We¡¦re all different though.

I would also recommend trying to recreate ALL of the pursuits you enjoyed in your youth. As children we still remember what we are here for, it can get squashed out of us very quickly but this is often our journey back to truth and as Chiron deals very much with the childhood, it can also help us to work on our wounds and feelings of loneliness and separation to do so.

Reiki vibes to you~~~~

Hi MyRealName,

Interesting that your Mars is in impressive Capricorn and your Partners¡¦ in Libra. Quite a different overall picture for you both, especially as the DSC conjunction add another level of passivity to this Mars position. However Mars conjunct DSC/in the 7th will seek a partner to ¡¥act out¡¦ and ¡¥help to stimulate¡¦ their own Mars expression. I guess you can more than manage that with your exalted Mars!

Great that you managed to make the most of the Pluto conjunction, that¡¦s definitely the spirit! I¡¦m sure you¡¦re more than able to deal with the craziness coming, you may not be as ¡¥prepared¡¦ as your Capricorn side wishes to be, but I think you¡¦ll do great! ƒº

Hi Lerena,

Well that¡¦s for another conversation I guess but you should post your chart sometime perhaps if you want some insights into how your path is signified there¡K. There are a lot of talented astrologers here, when it comes to overall advice it¡¦s unwise to isolated specific areas and not consider the chart in its entirety.

Hi Pocketrocket,

You mean your natal Mars position is Capricorn and retrograde? Well that¡¦s a bit of a ¡¥coincidence¡¦. Try to accept that what leaves your life was never meant to stay. Also with Saturn and Pluto messing around a whole lot in Capricorn, your Ascendant, Mars position and whatever else is going to add to a much bigger picture of life change for you at this time I imagine. Saturn blocks and Pluto removes, either way loss may hurt but trust that it leaves a place for that which *does* suit you. ƒº

Hi Stawr,

Wow sounds like Mars direct has begun with a bang for you! I totally know what you mean about people and them talking so much. I find this with my housemates and general small talk that so many seem to air on the basis that they enjoy the sound of their own voices¡K.. ;-) I recommend taking up meditation, 10 minutes can create an hour and it¡¦s a great excuse to tell people to ¡¥go away¡¦ without them getting offended haha!

LIVE! Do something terrifying so that you appreciate the beauty of safety, and do something new and uncomfortable so you remember the warmth of security.

Don't waste your time wishing things were different. CHANGE THEM :-) I know depression is a real thing, but for all of us who experience it, it's also the most isolating and separating mindset.

Get the juices flowing, connect to nature, these are the things that bring us back to life!

I lean expectation into the ever forking road
down two limbs to decimal digits
of neurons that fire and smolder,
of impulses that blink and disappear
of races running separate hows,
of either/or into monochrome or delirious color.
So it is not I, but We who stand
and lean into the choice where
I must chase myself and twin
around every tree, through every tunnel,
beat every bush until we externalize into
the fireflies of us emerging from skyward fingertips
as tiny phosphorescing starlights
winged mini-suns for children's hands,
biological binaries of orange-not orange
question-answers for bugging the darkness.

A bday and a wedding is enough for me.

Then my sister is is like please cat sit!
I actually told my good friend “no” to the festival my city does.
Thinking I can work on my lesson plans, after the bday party today. I get invited to dinner with boyfriends family.

Everyone has to see this weekend as an opportunity for extravagant fun. When I’m just will I ever get any time for myself?!
How am I suppose to have fun, when I’ve only had two weeks to prepare everything in my class?
