Looks like we're currently experiencing Plutonian times.
Speak of the Devil (quite literally as you will see shortly), Pluto has stationed retrograde on the 25th April in Capricorn and will turn direct again on the 4th October 2020, also in Capricorn.
Capricorn is linked to the Devil in the Tarot, and Pluto is linked to Judgement and Death (Scorpio's ruling planet). These cards already give us an idea of what we can expect over the coming months.
For more info on Pluto in the Tarot, check out my blog post HERE.
Retrograde planets often initiate a certain level of re-calibration, and Pluto is going to intensify the global transformation it already started back in January, when it was conjunct with Saturn (linked in the Tarot to the World and ruling planet of Capricorn = the Devil!).
Pluto Retrograde can increase fear of death and also resistance to change.
The whole world is scared of Covid19, and extreme laws and restrictions (Capricorn, Devil, World) are likely to cause more suffering and loss.
On a global level, we will have to face some very inconvenient truths about existing structures and workings of society and make some drastic changes on a large scale that are likely to affect us all and future generations.
On a personal level, what can we do to weather the storm?
Without any waffle, I'm just listing themes and qualities here that we will all need to focus on and cultivate as a collective - they are all self-explanatory:
- kindness
- generosity
- mutual support
- active listening
- understanding
- cooperation
- speaking our truth
- courage
- engaging in debates
- contribute towards finding solutions
- be discerning, especially when evaluating information and motives of powerful and influential people (watch out for lies and propaganda fuelled by fear and greed)
- moral and ethical integrity
- sustainability
Here are some journaling prompts to explore the energies of Pluto retrograde in your life:
1. What change/ending/transformation am I resisting?
2. What is no longer working in my life?
3. What boundaries that I set in the past have turned into self-limitations?
4. How can I transcend these limitations?
5. What unnecessary baggage am I holding on to that needs shedding?
6. How can I stay strong during this time of great upheaval?
7. What/Who is controlling me?
8. How can I regain my independence?
9. What in my life is in the process of being birthed?
The impact of Pluto retrograde will be felt by us all for quite some time, but in times of adversity there is always potential for growth and spiritual advancement.
Striving to live our best lives by cultivating qualities as listed above will make it easier to rebuild, evolve and thrive once we have arrived on the other side.
Stay well, and speak again soon,
Christiane
