Sun trine Pluto<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We have two planets changing signs this week, and one aspect to play with.<\/p>\n

The Aspect we have is Sun trine Pluto, which is all about the force being with you, and as it occurs in the middle of the week, it has enough clout to extend its influence throughout the week; it is aspect enough for one week.<\/p>\n

What sort of things can you accomplish in a week with that aspect?\u00a0 Creative endeavours can be imbued with psychological meaning. Dark areas of the psyche can have a light shine on them.\u00a0 It is not a minor aspect, but neither is it a hugely prominent one.\u00a0 So big enough to work with to gain something worthwhile, but not to be too much of a challenge.\u00a0 It is worth deciding at the beginning of the week what you would be working for along those lines for the middle of the week, have something set up for the middle of the week, and spend the rest of the week refining and finalizing, and monitoring the aftermath.\u00a0 It is a good aspect to master.<\/p>\n

Power<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The word Power means different things to people, depending partly on the plane or level they are working on currently or their lifetime theme.\u00a0 To some it means worldly or material power, to others it may be a career step up the ladder or a shift in spiritual power.\u00a0 To others it may mean truth, authenticity or freedom.\u00a0 This week is a good opportunity to define what you mean by power in order to work with it more clearly.\u00a0 Many people are afraid of their own power, or afraid they have misused power in past lives, and do not want to incur negative karma.\u00a0 Our power needs to be balanced with the power in the lives of others, but we do need to work with\u00a0 our own power.\u00a0 Though some are called to leadership, ultimately, the only true power is about handling our own energies.\u00a0 For you, personally, this week\u2019s experience may be about uncovering a new corner of your psyche.<\/p>\n

Personal Power<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun represents personal power, and Pluto represents a deeper psychological power, and also the responsibility of balancing power with others.\u00a0 The Sun trine Pluto is about using your personal power.\u00a0 A good book to read this week would be \u201cPersonal Power Through Awareness\u201d by Sanaya Roman.\u00a0 Order it now for your kindle!<\/p>\n

Here is a quotation:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf in any way you fear people in a position of authority or power over you, send them love.\u00a0 It will help stop any power struggles and attune you to a higher part of their being,\u00a0 where miracles and love are available.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If you possess this aspect in your natal chart<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The chances are if you are reading this that you don\u2019t have this aspect natally, as it only occurs twice a year.\u00a0 But this week is your chance to adopt it and try it out, and sometimes when you do this you can keep the skills you learn.<\/p>\n

If this is one of the aspects in your natal chart, I would in an analysis be saying something like this to you:<\/p>\n

SUN trine Pluto – There is a good understanding of human psychology with this aspect.\u00a0 Anything you do has to have authenticity and meaning, and you may deliberately test yourself at times for endurance.\u00a0 There is great psychological strength and the ability to work through testing times.<\/p>\n

A Traditional Interpretation<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Here is an interpretation from Margaret Hone\u2019s\u00a0 Modern Textbook of Astrology, published in 1951:<\/p>\n

\u201cTendency to free the self from bounds or ties.\u00a0 Easy elimination of the unwanted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Archetype: The Alchemist<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Caroline Myss says of this Archetype, which very much describes Sun trine Pluto:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn its highest manifestation seeks complete spiritual transformation\u2026converting matter into some form of altered and enhanced expression.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Famous \u00a0Examples<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

People who have this aspect natally:<\/span><\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Angelina has never been afraid to pursue her own path, from building a tribe of children, to working with William Hague against sexual abuse towards women in war situations.\u00a0 Her relationship with Brad Pitt was controversial at its outset, as he was married to Jennifer Aniston, but after many years together and being supported\u00a0 by him, she married him about a week ago.<\/p>\n

Russell Brand<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Russell Brand was born the same day as Angelina, though with different birth times and Ascendants.\u00a0 He too is not afraid to speak his mind, and to do his own thing, regardless of what the world thinks.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Wolf Green<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeffrey Wolf Green was an Astrologer who founded a branch of Astrology called \u201cEvolutionary Astrology\u201d and wrote books about the in-depth planet Pluto.\u00a0 So he absorbed the lessons of Pluto at a deep level, and shared them in his writings.\u00a0 He obtained much of his information through a guru, via his dreams.\u00a0 His legacy endures.<\/p>\n

Judy Hall<\/em><\/strong><\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Judy Hall is a new age writer on many subjects, including crystals.\u00a0 But she was one of the pioneers of Karmic Astrology, and as such had a great influence on my work.\u00a0 One of the abilities she has is to be able to read the Akashic Records, of a person\u2019s past lives, which in-depth work\u00a0 can cut straight to the root of current problems.<\/p>\n

Tina Turner<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tina Turner has Sun trine Pluto within one degree.\u00a0\u00a0 She has Saturn on the South Node of past life karma, and her Sun also squares Mars.\u00a0 Ike Turner\u2019s Mars connected with her Mars and its square to her Sun directly (their Mars\u2019 in square to each other) which brought out the worst karma between them, and violence towards her from Ike.\u00a0 Her Baptist faith sustained her, and then was added to by a later addition of Buddhism.\u00a0 She espouses a mixture of both faiths.\u00a0 I happened to catch an interview with her the other day on the Oprah Winfrey show, where she revealed she had turned her life around completely, and was happily married as well.\u00a0 She was asked about the philosophy that brought her there, and replied that she arrived at a point of desiring nothing.\u00a0 This echoes the philosophy of St. John of the Cross: \u201cIn <\/em>order<\/em> to arrive at<\/em> possessing everything<\/em>, desire<\/em> to<\/em> possess nothing<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 This was facilitated by her Venus being exactly trine Saturn and exactly square Neptune, not the Sun-Pluto trine.\u00a0 The qualities shown by the working out of Sun trine Pluto in her life are endurance and regeneration.<\/p>\n

Quote from Marianne Williamson<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.<\/em><\/p>\n

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
\ntalented and fabulous?<\/em><\/p>\n

Actually, who are you not to be?\u201d<\/p>\n

Aspect<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday (2nd<\/sup> Septemebr) Mercury enters Libra (not an aspect) and you should be prepared for the new academic term by the time Mercury leaves Virgo, and preparing to enter a time when you can share information and negotiate through communication.<\/p>\n

Wednesday (3rd<\/sup>) is the day carrying the aspect of the week, and the potential for making a difference in your life and psyche (see above).\u00a0 May the force be with you, but remember it is also with everyone else, so there will be a need for sensitivity to another\u2019s path.\u00a0 If you are being authentic, the Universe may automatically make and facilitate adjustments with others.<\/p>\n

If you know the two\u00a0 areas (House placements) occupied currently by the Sun and Pluto, you will find the trine benefits both, but the more enduring changes will be occurring in the House occupied by Pluto in Capricorn, as a result of long processes and psychological work.<\/p>\n

On Friday (5th<\/sup>) Venus enters Virgo, leaving the limelight in Leo, and possibly relieved to be in the more sedate territory of Virgo, quietly at her desk writing her new novel and paying more attention to the detail of her artistry.\u00a0 If you were able to make a genuine shift in your personal power mid-week, some of that energy can be incorporated into your new work initiatives.<\/p>\n
