OUR JOURNEY through 2020 has been rocky, to say the least. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we have been challenged at every turn.
Many of this year's most life-altering twists and turns can be linked to alignments involving Pluto. We
began 2020 with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12,
which was when the world initially became aware of the novel coronavirus
and great divisiveness was playing out on the political stage. This was
the opening act in the drama that has been unfolding ever since, with
its ensuing scenes powerfully defined by alignments between Jupiter and
Pluto.
THE FIRST Jupiter-Pluto conjunction occurred on April 4, as fears about the virus peaked and we went into global lock-down. The
next Jupiter-Pluto event was on June 29, as the second wave of COVID-19
was building worldwide, and rage against injustice also reached a peak.
This
coming week, we have the third and final conjunction between these two
planets. Once again, the trend on the COVID-19 charts is sharply upward.
This resurgence of the virus, along with social and political tensions,
are leading humanity to another crisis point.
THIS FINAL
conjunction between Jupiter and Pluto is made all the more powerful in
that it exactly aligns with the asteroid Pallas Athene, named for the
goddess
of Wisdom and War. This strong feminine influence could indicate a woman
coming into power on the physical plane, as well as the Divine Feminine
working with us on the metaphysical planes.
Also
of note is that this conjunction perfects at the same degree – and
almost the same arc minute – as January's Saturn-Pluto event. (The
Saturn-Pluto conjunction was at 22°46′ Capricorn; this Jupiter-Pluto
conjunction occurs at 22°51′ Capricorn.) This is just another sign that
events this week are powerfully related to the larger
evolutionary shift underway, which is requiring the deconstruction of
old social and political forms.
BUT THIS is about much more than only managing and surviving the external events. Pluto's job, as the Psychotherapist Planet, is to reveal and transmute negative energy. One of
Jupiter's tasks, as the largest planet in our known solar system, is to exaggerate and magnify. The
three alignments between these two planets are corresponding with great
waves of negative emotion in mass consciousness, which must be
transmuted if humanity is to evolve into its higher expression.
The first alignment in March/April brought forth a Wave of Fear. The second, in June/July, provoked a Wave of Anger and Rage. The third, peaking this week, might be described as eliciting a Wave of Distrust and Blame, or even
Hatred.
THIS WEEK,
as at each of these critical junctures, it is up to each of us
individually to be aware of how we hold those misqualified emotions in
our own energy field, and to do the work to transmute those emotions. We
must first acknowledge the feelings rather than pretending they do not
exist, and accept our own humanness. Then,
we must likewise realize our Divinity, which enables us to be more than
simply human.
This work of transmutation can be done on many levels and in many ways. We
can use techniques that allow us to express any repressed emotions in a
safe way, and then call in light or the violet flame to move through
and help clear the debris from our
individual field, and the quantum field as well. We also can use the
vibration of sound or color to assist us in releasing lower-frequency
emotions. One of the keys to doing this successfully is not to attach to
or label the emotions, but simply to allow them to process and release.
Whatever methods work best for you, now is the time to use them. We
are not yet past the time of challenges. Jupiter and Pluto are doing
the work of revealing humanity's shadow. As workers for the Light, we
are called to do the work of
transmuting the negative emotions that arise, for ourselves and for the
collective.
ADDING to the complex energies, we have a long list of other aspects that will
also perfect this week – too many
to fully describe here, given all that is going on! I'll do my best to
post on Facebook during the week about the ones that seem most
important.
But,
I do want to talk about two other significant events that are also on
this week's agenda: Mars going direct and the Scorpio New Moon.
MARS
has been retrograde in Aries since September 9. Over these past two
months, while outer progress may have seemed slow and tedious, we have
been called to do much work on inner levels. Mars retrograde is a time
for us to realign our energies, and obstacles have shown where our desires were not fully in sync with higher purposes.
If
we have done this work of realignment, we will start to see more
progress once Mars goes direct on Friday. But for most of the coming
week, even though Mercury is now direct, we should expect a few more
delays in the realization of our desires.
THE NEW MOON occurs on Saturday, November 14, at 9:07 p.m. PST. The Sun and Moon will conjoin at 23°17′
Scorpio, and will be in strong aspect to many of the other planets.
These include close sextiles to Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, and Pallas
Athene; a tight quincunx to dwarf planet Eris; and a loose trine to
Neptune.
Many
of these aspects are very positive and supportive, indicating a true
"new beginning" is possible, especially with Mars having gone direct the
day before. I especially like the trine to Neptune, which will help us
be in compassion and also trust in the Divine Plan.
BUT
we can't ignore the hard aspect to Eris, which indicates a potential
disruption in the proceedings. Remember that the primary myth of Eris
tells of her tossing a golden apple into a wedding party, an act that
precipitated responses that eventually led to
the Trojan War.
With Eris involved in the New Moon chart, we can expect that this new lunar cycle will be quite eventful – especially since it marks the beginning of eclipse season, with our Full Moon on November 30 also being a Solar Eclipse.
Eris
continues to be a strong influence throughout the rest of the month,
due to being exactly square Jupiter and Pluto next week. More on that
influence in the next Journal.
