What I first did was to print out the feature articles which I had written during this last year, and read them all at once. It helped enormously. Pluto is conjoining the U.S. Ascendant for the first time in history. Pluto transiting the ascendant brings explosions, eruptions, and destruction, as long-buried complexes emerge. Opposing Pluto now is Saturn, with Vesta, conjoining the U.S. Descendant.
Oppositions are like mirrors.
We do attract those forces which are within us. Saturn and Vesta are showing us natural limits and boundaries to our ruthless plutonic expressions. Pluto is catharsis. It gets to the bottom of the dirt in order to bring it to light and clean it out. Pluto is death, transformation, and rebirth.
