PLUTO SET TO OPEN DOORS

September 2011

            I know a lot of you must have felt life was somewhat on hold during the summer – but hopefully people are starting to feel that life is once again ready to move.  There are generally a lot of planets that retrograde in the summer and then proceed to move forward again in the fall.

             One of the first planets that will start to get things moving is the planet called Pluto - - the planet of endings to start new beginnings.  How many things have you put on hold and simply can’t seem to get it going since April?  Pluto started its retrograding direction on April 9th.   It’s in the sign of Capricorn, one of the earth signs, plus on the world stage it is affecting all: business, leadership, government spending etc.

             Someone in their infinite wisdom`, connected to the planetary alignments I believe, chose to start all of the television shows to begin after the turn-around of Pluto.   It was interesting to me that we haven’t heard ‘as yet’ about the “Ships Start Here” scenario.  My understanding was that the announcement was to be made last Friday.  I bet we would be more inclined to hear about this as Pluto is beginning its change – which is this Friday (Sept 16th).

             We see a lot of ‘building trades’ that are affected by the movement of Pluto.  It generally affects the construction industry (hence my thoughts on the “Ships start here” project).  I suspect we will hear (throughout Canada) a lot of discussion about `new projects` - `new buildings`- new growth.

              As I look at the astrological chart for the U.S when Pluto turns around (mid-September) it will create a pull-back in the US economy.  We will hear of even further restrictions and a plan to spend more time re-focussing (perhaps even on their health-care abilities) versus trying to create some new constructions to stimulate the economy.  So I think their plan of action will be to hold the reins steady versus venturing in unknown territory.  For those of you with some astrological background – I say this because transiting Pluto (where it is today) is opposing Natal Jupiter in the chart of the U.S.

             As I look at the astrological chart for Canada, we have a different situation on our hands.  I think we will see expansion – but perhaps at a slower rate than was originally expected.  Pluto is presently semi-squaring some previous conversations around this `building` situation within the economy.   There will be some adjustments that will have to be made.  Probably was originally discussed during a mercury retrograde - when communication was at its worse.  There still will be growth – without a doubt, so we are on a positive trend, it just won’t be at the rate of speed we originally were expecting.  For those of you with some astrological background - - I say this because Pluto is semi-squaring Natal Mercury. 

             Also we see in the Canadian chart that someone will be appearing with some egg on their face about some `false promises` which doesn’t look that they will be able to follow through on.  This may even end up with someone being fired within the government.  For some reason I get a very `feminine`energy coming from this…..so it means it is a female….or the male has a very feminine side to them.  I would say – somewhere along the way – there is some `missing money`` - - hmmmm…wonder where it’s gone!!!!   For those of you with some astrological background - - I say this because Pluto is opposing the Natal Moon in Cancer.

             Canada is a country that has its sun sign in Cancer and its moon sign in Cancer.  As we know anyone who is a Cancer has that whole `motherly`side to them.  That is why the world views Canada who is a country who looks after their people – and everyone else who may enter the country.   Whereas the country of the U.S.A is also a Cancer sun sign but its moon is in the sign of Aquarius – that need for freedom.  I suspect that is why they call themselves  `The home of the free…..``

             I have no doubt that this movement of Pluto will ``re-open` the discussions of the North again.  Have you realized they have been somewhat silent since April when Pluto went retrograde?

             From a personal standpoint we will all be dealing with the planet Pluto changing around….so we all will be experiencing endings of some kind nearer the final part of this week.  Perhaps some of you are already feeling this shift happening.

             Astrology is never an easy science.  There are no two people alike in the world, hence it is so very difficult to `generalize`` everyone on our newsletter listing will be affected in a different way by this planetary alignment.  It can really only be personalized directly to your unique chart.

             Some of us are `re-visiting` endings that we thought we made last year.  Sometimes the Universe brings us back to re-visit for a couple of reasons:  a) to allow us to see how much growth we have come through in the last year    b) to ensure we got the lesson    c) or to re-present the lesson in case you didn’t get it first time around.

             As we look up in the sky Pluto has come to a full stop now….ready to make its move on Friday.  The actual turn-around time is approx 3:30pm Atlantic Time on Friday - - watch out for car accidents as you drive home as people feel this vibration.

             This change around will present some challenges to Aries people born late March and early Libra people born late September.  Remember its all about an ending being created in order to start for the new beginning.

             It will show a smoother ending to be accommodated by people who are very late Aquarius and very early Pisces people  (13th Feb-end Feb)

            We see the earlier Earth signs – Taurus & Virgo people also experiencing a relatively easier transition of ending to new beginning.

             Our earlier Cancerian peeps may experience some opposing feelings as Pluto makes its change from the ending side of life to the beginning side of life; as well, of course our early Capricorn people.

             So it presents a large decision time for all of us.

             People who were born in the mid - late 80`s were all born with Neptune somewhere between  1 Deg Capricorn to 7 Deg Capricorn.  This Pluto turn around will challenge your dreams and make you question what exactly it is that you are looking for in your life!  There will be endings – I guarantee you.  BUT – on the heels of that, there will also be new beginnings.  This change around will affect the whole generation.  They have been a generation that saw a lot of endings over the past 2 years….once again we come to that threshold.

             Just to give you an idea – for those of us in our early 50`s – we experienced that same setback in the early 1980`s – what ending did you have to deal with in order to move forward?

             For those of you presently in your 40`s – you would have experienced roughly this same type of situation in the mid-late 1990`s.

             Everything in life is a cycle.  As the planets go around the zodiac it reveals more of life to us.

                                                     Always question - - What is the lesson?
