The Moon now in Libra, Venus at 00 Scorpio, it all smells so refreshing, doesn’t it? And yet we can’t go long without a challenge, in this case, the Moon’s square to Pluto around 11 AM Pacific. We’ll each choose a side–kicker or receiver, to use a football analogy. If we’re the kicker, the emotions will go into high gear, swooping down on those around us like a visit from avenging angels, terrible, destructive, bent on change. We will be a force to be reckoned with, oriented toward creating change (or remaking something in our preferred image), without a care for who might be harmed in the process (but if this is you, be gentle with yourself–you are not intending to hurt anyone–it’s more a matter of feeling that others must not stand in your way, that they must be responsible for themselves–oddly, it’s a stance that respects others even as it may leave some destruction in its wake). But, if you are the receiver, others may seem needlessly harsh, may not take the care you require, may be judged to be enraged, destructive, or almost evil–and though there will be some who will indeed be careless and wreak havoc, the vast majority will be misunderstood by the receivers, who will have moved too far toward seeing themselves as refined and delicate. They may be too civilized in this instance, asking what is really a cleansing emotional force to be unduly restrained, demanding that Plutonian forces tip-toe whenever they’re in the vicinity. This refinement isn’t wrong so much as it is an act of avoiding the cycle of energy that brings everything to change, or to an end. The receivers may need to let go and trust that, though some change may be abrupt, and transformations can be brutal and leave us bruised, it’s all part of the way things are meant to be.
