The Full Moon in Taurus; the Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus and oppose Uranus in Taurus.
Very quietly, under the radar, a huge collective and personal karmic shift begins at the Taurus Full Moon whose impact will be inescapable over the next 7 years. Pluto – the Great Eliminator of everything and everyone who has had their day — sinks below the ecliptic plane for the first time in 250 years: the God of the Underworld is returning to the Underworld. The last time this happened was in 1770 at the time of the Boston Massacre. The outlying storm ripples are already reaching us now. On the collective level, the karmic levers of power are shifting gear. In its shadow form, Pluto is associated with underworld figures, networks, criminal cartels, transnational bankers and foreign power brokers.
Globally, nationally and personally, we are now totally engaged in the search for the sacred medicine — the antidote to the poison. It is a quest for soul retrieval – for the soul of a nation and for the healing of your deepest wounding. The fact that this time Pluto’s descent is happening during the Evolutionary Burn and with Earth transiting within the massive Photon Band of super high transformational Light, means that this Ecliptic crossing by Pluto will not resemble any previous ones.
Up close and personal in your own life, Pluto will shine an unblinking light on weaknesses and blind sides so that whatever isn’t working — health, toxic habits, limiting beliefs, relationships – can be burned away, offered up and released to the Solar winds. What’s left, what does work will stand clearly and be enhanced with a pure energy. Pluto is all about truth, congruence, stripping back to essentials, loss, healing, and regeneration.
On Tuesday October 23rd, the Sun enters Pluto’s sign of Scorpio and immediately opposes unpredictable Uranus. On Wednesday, the annual Taurus Full Moon conjuncts Uranus opposing Sun conjunct Venus in Scorpio both square the Nodes of Fate. This is a Fixed Grand Cross in early degrees and the image that comes to mind is powerful energy that has had the lid kept on too long and is now about to explode.
Scorpio tends to operate behind the scenes covertly and secretly as exemplified by the Russian state poisoning of a UK citizen or the murder of a journalist inside the Saudi embassy. Venus is at the midpoint of her retrograde descent, in the shadowy underworld.
The Full Moon seismic window lasts from October 20–27th so expect to feel either extra sensitive and hyped up or to be flatlining.Chandra Symbol for Moon/Uranus: Wilting flowers that form a graceful pattern in a vase.
“This is a way station chosen strictly for the purposes of being allowed to be spared any fire of needing to get it together, in order to heal on the inside slowly and in ways which are outside the loop of destiny or any forward movement. This can be just the right place to be, but even then, it is laced with regrets and a deep down feeling of so much being lost and fading away. Nonetheless, if we do choose to take up this pattern, we have our reasons. It may be true that we don’t always need to be happening in some powerful sense. Just to be at rest and to embrace the stillness with equanimity is a rare virtue.”
