15.01.2022 June 5: Astrological commentaries from Bali. Hello everyone. Let's continue with our series of posts about the (current) Transits of Pluto. No matter what kind ...of contact we have with The Lord of Hades, be it a transiting trine or stationary conjunction, the effects of Pluto are just intense! Pluto may be billions of miles away and rather tiny as planets go (in fact, he has been demoted to a planetoidan overgrown asteroidin some astronomical circles), but Pluto is mighty in his effects and should never ever be underestimated by the astrology student. I was contemplating a title for this series of posts: The transits of Pluto: An offer you can’t refuse. Now if you see any link between my choice of titles and the Mafia, you would be right. Pluto does indeed rule the Mafia as well as any underground group of gangsters, mobsters, and terrorists (in the case of the latter, those religious terror groups also have a lot to do with the combination of Mars and Neptune). But Pluto also is intimately involved with the process of redemption and thus the alchemy of turning the shadow into the Lightand thus the symbolism of the Phoenix rising up in glory over its own ashes. But first the form of the previous bird has to be cremated in the fires of purification. Well, we get baptized today and cremated tomorrow and then baptized again in the waters of our second birth---who said that the evolution of consciousness was easy? It certainly wasn't me. The transits of Pluto: three general comments. 1. These transits take a relatively long time. There is an average minimum of 2 years for every Pluto transit. This time can be extended if the transit Pluto is making is a multiple of complex one. Example: natal Moon at 18 Taurus, natal Sun at 20 Capricorn, and natal Mars at 22 Cancer. Pluto will take nearly 4 years to transit these five degrees as it passes through 18-22 Capricorn. And if we add a degree approaching and about half a degree separating, well then, we have just added an additional number of months to these plutonic effects on a person’s life. (Check your ephemeris.) 2. These transits have very profound consequences. In the case of the faster moving planets such as Mercury, Mars, and Venus, they make frequent and multiple transiting aspects to one’s natal chart. But in the case of Pluto you get only a one-time shot. It takes Pluto some 240 years to go the 360 degrees around your personal wheel. This means it will conjoin, square, oppose, sextile or trine a place in your horoscope once and only once. Yes, it goes back and forth over a planet or point several times in a single transit series (known as a station), but you only get ONE of each of these series in a lifetime. I am thus always appreciative of the fact that whenever I see Pluto aspects approaching my chartbe they easy or hard aspectsI will be about to learn the important lesson of these very intense and finalizing aspects--whether I want to learn this lesson or not! As I said earlier, this is "an offer you can't refuse!:" As a Scorpio-rising person, release-death-empty space-renewal for me is very much a part of my intimate existential process. 3. Through its transmutations and deaths, Pluto closes certain doors and then opens others. Here we can see the major difference between the effects of Pluto and its lower octave, Mars with whom it shares rulership over Scorpio. Mars is the gun and the self-defense mechanism, anger, or fear in the heart of the man or woman who uses it. Mars/Ares is a very simple guy, who says in effect: Bang-bang, you’re dead! Pluto then picks up from where Mars left off and pronounces: Yes you are indeed dead but I will take you through a portal that can restore you to immortality. This can be in Hades or in Heaven. How you are reborn into either of these places (for there are levels of experience in each) depends on the Path of your life choices and karma." I remind my FB Friends that both Hades and Heaven live simultaneously on Earth, where they have the annoying and peculiar habit of shifting about (often for many of us, depending on what relationship I am in or out of at the time!). If you are interested in attending my two-hour live webinar on the subject of Pluto's transits, it will be taking place on June 10/11. Please see www.alanoken.com for details and registration. More to follow and with love and blessings to one and all, AO
