Pluto's Latest U-Turn
Pluto, the planet of Major Overhaul, Deep Transformation, and (potentially, at least) Deep Healing, changes direction tomorrow (Eastern Time).
After a number of months of appearing to move backward (that is, "being retrograde"), Pluto "stations" (stops) at 6 degrees 57 minutes Capricorn tomorrow ... and then "turns direct" (starts moving forward again).
How Significant is Such a U-Turn?
Such outer (read: slow-moving) planets spend much of their time retrograde, and they change direction (turning either direct or retrograde) every so-many months.
Therefore, generally speaking, I wouldn't make too much of a station such as tomorrow's happening.
Now, having said that, I do think that in some instances, such stations can quite significant.
In My Case: Relating Pluto's Current Change to My Life
For me (personally, again), Pluto does not make any "major" aspects (i.e., no conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, or oppositions) now, while it slows down, stops, and changes direction).
Even so, I do find myself currently thinking about matters such as grief and healing.
(Pluto is the planet of grief and healing, of death and rebirth in any and all senses of those words. For me, Pluto is currently transiting through the 8th house of my birth chart, for some 10 or 20 years, and the 8th house is the house of grief and healing, et al.)
I found out today that someone close to a friend of mine died suddenly, unexpectedly, at a young age yesterday. Texting with that friend brought up, for me, my own experience over the past almost-two-years of grieving and healing after someone close to me died suddenly, unexpectedly, at a relatively young age.
As I told my friend, I dare say that going through that experience helped me have an emotional--not just an intellectual--appreciation for what others might go through, when they experience such deaths.
And How Do You Relate This Change to Your Life?
I'm curious what your experience is now (today, in recent days....), in connection with this latest change of direction for Pluto.
For example, is Pluto triggering anything in particular in your birth chart?
If so, what and by which type of aspect?
Whether Pluto's triggering anything or not, through which house of your chart is Pluto currently transiting?
And thinking about all of that, what (if anything) do you relate to it ... in terms of what you're feeling / doing / experiencing in your life now?

Remember, if you don't already have a copy of YOUR birth chart, you can enter your birth information (including your birth time!) at astro.com and view/print a free copy of your chart.
Need help deciphering the symbols in the "chartwheel" (the circle)?
Just ask me!
