Pluto retrograde begins tonight and remains for the next 5 months or so. A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backward in its orbit. Pluto is a planet of transformation; when it starts to backtrack, it creates space for reflection. Generally, pluto retrograde brings up power and control issues in your life and our greater world. In addition, there is a fixed star alignment bringing good fortune but with a tinge of regret and disgrace.
Being the last planet in our solar system, the effects of Pluto’s long and slow retrograde happen at a psychological level and below the surface. It is a good time to work on self-improvement, focusing on getting rid of past hang-ups and old habits.
Sounds an awful lot like what the Pink moon power was encouraging us to do too - doesn't it?!?!?
It is also a good time to turn the microscope onto your relationships. "One way of looking at Pluto’s retrograde is [as the] destruction of that which is no longer working, which will now become obvious," notes Leslie Hale, a psychic astrologer at Keen.com. "Pluto wants to uncover things and bring them from the darkness or hidden realm and into the light so positive change may occur."
Again, Sounds an awful lot like what the Pink moon power was encouraging us to do too - doesn't it?!?!?
Things to think about:
• If people have controlled or manipulating you then now is the time to let them go. If you have been too controlling of others or situations then it is time to let go.
• This is not a time for power tripping but a time for elimination.
• Fated events and repeating themes will reinforce which of your controlling habits, compulsions, addictions, or prejudices must be eliminated.
• If you have been too smothering and controlling in a relationship, holding on too tight, then you may be forced to let go.
• If obsessive or compulsive behavior involving food or drugs has taken hold of your life, then events may force a turnaround. The more intense your destructive behavior, the more extreme the detoxification or withdrawal stage will be, such as going cold turkey.
And again, Sounds an awful lot like what the Pink moon power was encouraging us to do too - doesn't it?!?!? I always think what a tricky bitch universe is, (I say bitch in the most loving of ways) she keeps on reiterating what we need to deal with, until we are beat over the head with it and have to move. Now is one of those times.
The power of the pink full super moon enables us to let go and regrow easier right now.
According to folklore, the period from the full Moon through the last quarter of the Moon is the best time for killing weeds, thinning, pruning, mowing, cutting timber, and planting below-ground crops.
So we ask ourselves, What items in our life may need some cutting back to grow anew? What seeds can we plant to help our future selves?
The seeds planted are ready to grow. So it is.
Please be kind.
Hope and light live within us all.
