Mercury and Mars retrograde and transiting Saturn squaring Pluto. And, we “celebrate” Pluto’s 2nd anniversary in

Aquarius – May the world realize that there’s only one earth.
Pisces – May the world please chill out.

Pluto is Squaring Saturn

Articles abound telling us what newfound Saturn in Libra means and plenty has been written about Pluto in
Capricorn. But, now, what we must look at is Pluto squaring Saturn for all of us, for all of 2010.

This is certainly a grim combination of planets. These two big boys were quite present during our past few wars,
and here we go again – we just don’t learn from the past (Saturn.) One of the main reasons that this is such a
difficult time is that Pluto represents our connection to the collective mind all around. It transcends the
personal. For instance, even “innocents” in the German countryside got caught up in the 1940’s with what their
entire country was at war for. One cannot escape one’s collective karma.

Nevertheless, we have to deal with the massive Pluto in Capricorn energy that is ridding us as fast as it can from
all of our past waste while Saturn, the tireless worker, is attempting to build anew. The solar house that
contains Pluto is giving you no choice but to let go of the old. Meanwhile, the squaring house that holds Saturn
is urging you to rebuild, and fast, in those related areas. This is a very, very complex story that I’m trying to
boil down into a few simplified paragraphs.

Pluto is in one “house” for you and at the same time, Saturn is in another. This will go on all of 2010 and most
of 2011. In general, what does this mean for each of our Sun signs?

Aries – Pluto in the 10th house and Saturn in the 7th - In general Pluto is challenging the Ram to make its move
in this world, leaving behind all kinds of reasons for stalling. Saturn is sticking with you reminding you that
you do have partnerships in this world. Partnerships are not obstacles although at times, it may appear so.
BALANCING THE TWO will be the trick for you.

Taurus – Pluto in the 9th and Saturn in the 6th – PL has been working on your overall philosophy the past 2 years.
Bulls are slow to change, but they are changing. Its emphasis is on getting rid of mental frameworks that may have
been handed down to you and no longer work. At the same time, Saturn is pressing you to get to work, to refine
your skill sets. Combined, this can be a very compatible combination. See things anew, do things differently; get
out of your old patterns and your life can be quite renewed! DON’T SLIP BACK into old habits; easy to say for
Taurus.

Gemini – Pluto in the 8th and Saturn in the 5th – These two houses have to do with self-value. PL is stirring you
to get down and dirty in all of your relationships. Depth and intimacy is the way out of this intense 8th house
for you. At the same time, Saturn’s pressure in the 5th is trying to urge you to take ownership on what you say;
what you mean; what you do. This is not easy for the elusive Twins. DO NOT COMPLAIN, if things aren’t working out
for you interpersonally, this is why. You need to take ownership of the words that slip by your lips. People
AREN’T taking you too seriously.

Cancer – Pluto in the 7th and Saturn in the 4th – This is no picnic for Cancers now. But, it can be a great
turning point for you if you accept the fact that your true power is now here (Pluto) and you can stand
independently of your family support structures (Saturn.) It is not advisable to try to duck either of these stern
energies. Pluto knows that you are much more powerful than you might think and Saturn is urging you to take on the
responsibility for all of your personal relationships. It’s doing so because you can do it and you will get
stronger in ever way. Don’t hide from either. If things aren’t working out for you now it’s NOT because no one
loves you.

Leo – Pluto in the 6th and Saturn in the 3rd – Pluto is stressing that you take care of your health right now. And
I do mean your health in all kind of areas. It doesn’t just pertain to your body. What is the health of your
family relationships, and personal ones? Are they alive and robust or running on old fumes? If so, this can no
longer continue. Stubbornness is not the answer now; this new era is requiring new solutions from ever-widening
hearts. Saturn will make you feel like being more careful with your words, more meaningful with your intentions
and more attentive to how you think about everything. It DOESN’T MATTER who’s right or wrong.

Virgo – Pluto in the 5th and Saturn in the 2nd – This combo is insisting that you put your money where your mouth
is. This is usually not much of a problem for the Virgin. Pluto wants you to express yourself – especially your
love. No, you can’t always just show it by how helpful you are. Your self-worth (Saturn in 2) now depends on it.
It’s NOT all work. And don’t say, “That’s good, I’ll work on it.”

Libra – Pluto in the 4th and Saturn in the 1st – This one is heavy-duty. Pluto has been in your emotional nest for
2 years now. It’s commanding that you get real with your feelings and your needs. What does this mean? It’s kind
of going against your nature in one sense: you are used to doing things in terms of partnerships. This one is
requiring that you do it alone. You have to determine what is right for YOU and stick to your guns (Saturn in the
1st.) If not, you’ll have nothing to partner with.

Scorpio – Pluto in the 3rd and Saturn in the 12th – This pairing is mostly acting on your 12th house. Saturn
through the 12th is not easy to describe. Karmic situations are continuing to rear their ancient heads. It means
that you have to get straight with your spiritual life now. You’re quite used to having to answer to Pluto
(personal courage); now, Saturn is bringing about a test to your membership to the planet’s citizenry. You KNOW
what you need to do. You always do.

Sagittarius – Pluto in 2nd and Saturn in the 11th – Pluto has been hard at work for 2 years now presenting you
with a chance to change your priorities. Now, Saturn wants you to take that new conceptual framework and fuse it
with your life-long dreams: your bucket list. Sagges aren’t shy. Think big, go for it. Quit trying to do all
things by yourself; it’s time now that you actively look for a group that sees eye-to-eye with you. Saturn will
help you inasmuch as you share your optimistic attitude with the rest of group. AVOID DOWNERS at all costs.

Capricorn – Pluto in the 1st and Saturn in the 10th – Wow, what a combination. It’s a good thing that Saturn is
“at home” in the 10th. Pluto continues on with its “get real” promo that has been going on since 1/25/08. Now,
Saturn insists that you not only make your move (Pluto) but that you take your stance. Stand in your truth is the
message. Don’t give the “right” answer, give YOUR answer.

Aquarius – Pluto in the 12th and Saturn in the 9th – Not only have you been really dredging up he karmic crud, now
Saturn is naturally pressing you to understand it all. Hell, doesn’t that sound like a Contrarius? Please, take a
break now and then. Turn that pressure-valve on the side of your head and GIVE THAT BRAIN OF YOURS A REST!
Pssssshhhhhssssssst! Seriously, great philosophical strides can be made now! Yes, it really is all connected –
just ask Pisces.

Pisces – Pluto in the 11th and Saturn in the 8th – Even though you really don’t have a self, well, like sorta
kinda, you still have to act like you do. FOLLOW YOUR PASSIONS! It’s really OK (11th). You don’t have to follow
someone else’s just to be nice. Stand your ground in terms of how much you will give and to whom. You are here to
surrender to the BIG WILL but not to others’. Take time to and for yourself. Be nice to you; the greatest sign out
there. Try it: say, “No…No…No…”

---Astrology is a personal calendar of your readiness---

Hawkins

“Everything in the universe constantly gives off an identifiable energy pattern of a specific frequency that
remains for all time and can be read by those who know how. Every word, deed, and intention creates a permanent
record; every thought is known and recorded forever. There are no secrets, nothing is hidden nor can it be.
Everyone lives in the public domain. Our spirits stand naked in time for all to see. Everyone’s life, finally, is
accountable to the universe.”

- David Hawkins, PhD, “Truth vs. Falsehood”

Here's the Simplified Story of 2010..."

1. Pluto has been causing massive change at the fundamental level of just about everything for two years now. It’s
shaking us to our core; only systems and people with integrity will survive.
2. Saturn entered Libra on 10/28/09, thusly; Saturn and Pluto are now at right angles to each other. More stress.
3. The beginning of this wonderfully fortunate new world order has been birthed by transiting Neptune, Chiron, and
Jupiter since 5/25/09 – and is now dispersing. Its effects will be lasting and will take time to not only see but
to appreciate. It brought at least some new degree of compassion towards those of our kind who are not well - just
like a civilized nation is expected to do.
4. May 27, 2010 – Within 6 days of one another, Jupiter and Uranus will enter a NEW ZODIAC at 0° Aries. They will
oppose Saturn in Libra and all 3 will square Pluto at that time. This will be known as the Cardinal Tsquare – The
New Revolution. Uranus starts anew zodiacal each 84 years and Jupiter does so every 12 – this time, they’re doing
so together!

Translation: after all of the stressors of the new Saturn/Pluto stage, and the encouragement from Neptune, Chiron
and Jupiter, Jupiter and Uranus’s new spark in Aries will BE HUGE. We’re going to take action. Not AGAINST anybody
or anything, but FOR ourselves.

We’ll be revolting against revolting against. We got ourselves stuck. We have to free ourselves. I’m quite
encouraged. After all, we’ve simply been revolting against another part of our own family anyway. You wait…
Jupiter and Uranus will be like the two solid rocket boosters on the Space Shuttle. We’re all in this together. We
have 14 more years to LEARN this lesson; then, Pluto will enter Aquarius – and we can probably safely say we’re
then in the Age of Aquarius. That hasn’t happened for 26,000 years.

Mars Retrograde

Mercury and Mars are Retrograde
For those of you who are familiar with looking up the
placements of the planets, watch Mars. He will retro until
March 10 going backwards from 20° to 0° Leo. Also keep a
close watch on any planet that you may have in those same
degrees of other Fixed signs: Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

Mars will be stirring up the waters in those areas indicating that you probably need to be more assertive in those
arenas of life. Don’t get aggressive or be tempted to fight but do unto before it is done unto you is the motto
here. That’s how Mars talks.

6. The extreme agitation and frustration and feeling that I'm going to EXPLODE...

not in a good way, has remained since it switched on INSTANTLY the afternoon of the 31st.

A few other Virgo sisters are feeling the same way.

WTF? LOL

Trust me, I don't feel like working on it. ;) Arghhhh........

You're so funny and awesome with these, Rick. :hug:

12. Twas the LUNAR ECLIPSE that day
about 19 Cancer

and mostly it was the fact that Mars stopped on the 26th to go Rx on your 12th Harmonic Pluto in the 12th house

translation

YOU NEED TO EXPLODE

really
your natal chart is TOO CONTROLLED
what does your HEART want to say?
what has been shoved under the rug for so long
you simply cannot put one more thing under the rug
those THINGS WANT OUT, that's what we refer to as "I feel like I'm going to explode"
you have to break your old rules and LET THEM OUT
then, it won't be so explosive
give that some thought
best of luck
:hug:

7. Well, this should be very interesting...
My birthday falls the day before the eclipse and the night of the eclipse, my husband's group art show opens. Additionally, we are both waiting to hear the response to different career advancing proposals this month too. Have been listening to my last reading with you from June on the tape provided this past week and found great comfort in it. If my cash flow flows the way I want it to, will set up another reading this first quarter...

8. thank you, Rick
never sure whether to read for my sun sign or my ascendant. Often one or the other is clearly appropriate. This time, both seem to be.

13. well that's good and not so good
'cause I don't have any money left to put where my mouth is, lol.

On the other hand...I *don't* know what to do. I really don't....:shrug:

so I'm just taking things one day at a time. One thing I have noticed is I'm getting what I need, in spite of some people's best efforts to prevent that. I got several extra days off (unpaid) inspite of my boss's best attempts to prevent it and largely due to her political battles / power plays. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: That gave me time off I desperately needed ahead of each exam this past fall semester and enabled me to hold onto my 4.0. :D

14. It's happening on a much , much deeper level
dig in and see what you find
