August
17-24, 2001
First
we have this New Moon (as mentioned last week) August 19 at 2.56 am
GMT at 26.12 Leo. But then the big event this week is Pluto
going into Direct motion. This
will occur Thursday August 23 at 4:07 am GMT at 12 degrees and 32
minutes in Sagittarius.
One can
expect anything on such a moment. Some people may notice for the
first time something of a Pluto-Saturn opposition occurring, because
Pluto D no longer "withholds" but goes straight forward. It
no longer is occupied with the past, but with the future. And as
healing as Pluto events eventually are, this usually does not occur in
a very softmannered way. So one can expect shocks from news which
impact your future. Of course you may notice absolutely nothing. Maybe
you just feel somewhat dizzy as it were on Thursday as one of the
energy systems within us as well is "turning around".
I will
return home at any rate, after a long summer spent in the wilderness.
There is not much one can really do with a Pluto event, as it is the
Soul taking command. Those who are able to attune the ego with the
Soul will find their Souls to be their best friends. But we can be our
own worst enemies also: in those cases where the soul needs to oppose
our own ego's just to align it more with itself.
Interesting
is that Pluto retrograde always refers to the past, and Pluto direct
always with evolutionary motion towards the future. And so our lives
are turned around towards evolution into the future once more.
You may
have enjoyed what came to you during the summer and now be confronted
with the future. Or you may have been occupied with drastically
cleaning up and ending the past during the summer, released finally
after August 23rd. It is a matter of tuning in, to feel what applies
in your life (around the 23rd).
Pluto
will now continue its journey up until 17.37 Sagittarius in March
2002, and then retrograde once more.
