Revolutionary changes in the air today

The Moon moved into airy, relationship-focused Libra on Sunday morning and will stay in Libra until Tuesday morning.  This is a great time to take a look at your close relationships, evaluate what is working and what isn’t.  Perhaps you need to have a talk with your partner to smooth out the rough edges.

You can still work on your New Moon in Virgo intentions until this evening.  A Virgo moon is the ideal time to begin a diet, join a health club or break old habits.

On Tuesday, September 18, Pluto will station direct, having completed its retrograde motion for the year.  A planet’s energy is very powerful at the time it goes direct, especially Pluto, the planet of transformation.  Pluto is very slow-moving, taking as much as 32 years to as little as 11 years to complete its transit through one sign.  Pluto’s current transit through the Earth sign of Capricorn will last until the year 2023.

On Wednesday, 9/19/12, Pluto and Uranus will reach the second of seven exact squares.

Pluto is square to Uranus, and will be exactly square seven times, the first occurring on June 24, 2012 and the second occurring on September 19th.  This is rebellion (Uranus in Aries) against societal structure (Pluto in Capricorn) at work! 

Looking back in time, when Pluto and Uranus were in aspect to each other, we find that these planets were conjunct from 1965-1966 (Cold War, race riots, student demonstrations, hippies, Vietnam conflict), were square to each other in the 1930-34 (FDR’s New Deal, Hitler’s rise to power, the Dust Bowl and the ongoing Great Depression.)  They were also conjunct at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, 1850-51 (European social revolution, Underground Railroad, Taiping Rebellion in China, and the potato famine in Ireland.)

What will the Pluto / Uranus square bring to us?  Many of the changes will not be altogether evident to us until some time has passed.  One thing is for sure, we're in for some profound structure changes.
