Pluto, Saturn and the Moon

Friday, November 13th, 2009 | Ask Anne, Astrology for You | 5 Comments

I had a question about what it means when Pluto is transiting on the Moon is an astrological chart and Saturn in Libra is squaring both transiting Pluto and the natal Moon. It would take an article or two to address what this might mean. Firstly I want to state that it is important to look at the entire chart to get a good idea about what else is involved. Pluto, very simplistically represents profound change and when it influences the reflective, sensitive and highly personal planet, such as the Moon, our emotions, our daily experiences and comfort zone becomes something we have to address in depth. The Moon in Capricorn might mean that a person has always had a tight leash on emotions, what is practical, matters more than how it might feel. Openly showing emotion, crying in public or even losing one’s temper are not natural for Moon in Capricorn. I think Tracy Marks used a quote “Always listen to the control tower” as a description for Moon in Capricorn. Pluto has a knack of unearthing anything hidden, repressed or ignored, thus all kinds of emotional stuff is likely to emerge for your scrutiny. Saturn is the taskmaster of the Zodiac, and always wants something constructive to emerge from our ‘work’. So the question becomes, you have realized this about yourself now what are you going to do about it. During a time like this people may find that counselling is helpful. Now as with any energy, all of the action can play outside of your experience. Perhaps a sibling is making dramatic changes with career or marrying someone you don’t approve and have to learn to live with… We learn astrological concepts through isolating parts of it; however, the only way we can understand our lives is by integrating all of the concepts. This particular configuration playing out in one’s life, might be a time I would state, talk to astrologer about your chart, don’t try to figure it all out for yourself-you are more likely to fixate on the potential negative expression of the energy rather than welcoming the opportunity to know yourself more truthfully.

Hellenistic Astrology Applied Seminar by Anne Massey

Saturday, November 5, 2009 from 1PM-4:30PM
Ancient concepts can enrich our astrological understanding, but they serve little purposes unless we learn how to apply them to our contemporary understanding of our rich subject. The simplicity of some of the analysis is beautiful, however, choosing the tools that work can be challenging. Anne Massey will introduce a few simple concepts that you can apply instantly and a few more that may take a bit of extra study. Send your birth data in by November 30, so you will have your Hellenistic chart to refer to during this seminar. Email anne@astrologicallyspeaking.com. Cost of seminar $45
