It's Astro-Logical -- practical advice for conscious living ---> Issue #42
with Pluto in Capricorn.
The theme of this pattern
your financial dealings and the things you love to do.
Venus = your involvement with love, partnerships, money, finances, things you enjoy and things you value
Pluto = renovation, recycling, transformation, improvement, ending and beginning again
Conjunctions = the merging and blending of these two different energies so that they mix and become literally inseparable
Depending on a number of factors, like age, relationship status, personal morality ... or your financial situation, this energy can produce a number of results, some of them fairly disturbing. For one thing, it ramps up your libido to the point you can't really stuff it down again successfully. As you might expect then, it heightens your need for companionship and intimacy.
You want more intensity from partners, lovers ... and friends. Superficial contacts won't cut it -- for a while. You want to feel connected to someone you care about -- and vice versa ... at least 'til the madness of this mood passes.
Stable, healthy relationships can take this in stride, since it adds some mutual passion to how you feel about one another. But if your relationship is rocky or stale, this energy isn't going to help much -- to say the least. It increases your animal magnetism ... and you'll start broadcasting your interest in "connections" whether you mean to or not. Remember, everyone will be feeling this -- and they'll pick up on the vibe. There is power in this kind of attraction -- and you need to respect it.
You may say something -- even "accidentally" -- that betrays how you feel about someone you find "interesting." This can be with your choice of words, or tone of voice or a slip of the tongue -- but the message shimmers, nevertheless, if one or the other of you wants to pick up on it. It can lead to some awkward moments -- or intriguing possibilities -- again, depending on you and your situation. Even looks, gestures and other bits of body language can convey how you feel -- or what you want -- on a subliminal level
There is a coerciveness that can be very manipulative under the right conditions -- which is one reason I called this mix disturbing. Even casual relationships that will never cross over into anything sexual or romantic have an extra edge to them. Conversations are more intense. Emotions and passions of all kinds are stronger. You care about what's going on around you ... and it shows.
You can sublimate this energy into some spectacular piece of creative effort. Or you may invest it in extra attention to your income sources and financial conditions. Because of the release-and-replacement energy of Pluto -- and everything he touches -- you may eliminate some income sources that aren't cutting it. OR ... you may double down on projects that hold a lot of promise (and a lot of ego!!) and make them produce, virtually by willing them to do so.
What you can't do is ignore this energy while it's around. So, be aware that it's foolish to try.
- You care more about the people and things you consider important
- You want to feel connected and valued in return
- Possessiveness and jealousy might be a problem -- in both directions
- You want your relationships, your income sources and the things you buy to have meaning
- You may decide to ditch and replace any of these that don't measure up
- Creative work has unusual force and impact
This energy can attract powerful people into your circle -- ones whose mere presence alters your trajectory. (It can also attract dangerous people ... two sides of the same coin.) You can also play this role for someone else. Income sources may be transformed -- either by ending completely or morphing into something much better.
When Pluto's renovating influence touches things of value, immediate appearances can be deceiving. But what comes of it eventually could be impressive. Keep your wits about you. You could be part of something magic in progress.
