The fire
Sometimes knowing which parts of you are real and which are a habit can make life easier than more real. when Pluto (April 23, 2025, pdt 10:10 am), knowing which is easier.
As my colleague Michelle Gould said, Pluto is like a burning fire that is not right with anything that the earth connected to it does not have. As far as the sun is concerned, it burns you.
In your personality and the life you have built for yourself, is this not consistent with your inner and integrity consciousness? This transit will only make yourself feel for about a week, but a few days later with Mars against Pluto, which is a very powerful influence that will shed light on what makes your life messy and need to disappear. Note that by the weekend, you may feel motivated to start clearing the chaos.
fulfill
This week brought the third and finals Venus-Salter Conjunction (April 24, 2025, 5:02 pm PDT, 27º13’PISCES) in the series that began on January 18 and reenacted on April 7. It’s a combination of planets and important stories, telling what we value most and how we can affect our relationship with others.
When Saturn is combined with another planet, it is either a barrier to our gaining what that planet wants, or like you have one of those stakes placed next to a tree, it can support it as it grows.
In recent weeks, some solar eclipses and Neptune have entered a new sign, reflected in rapid changes and instability, especially shocking the U.S. financial system. The result is fear, one of the typical devices of Saturn, and very basic needs will not be met – income is needed to protect retirement savings, even with a safe source of food.
It was Saturn wearing his grim harvester outfit. But remember that even if he rattles, he can show support in the background.
This conjunction is on the Sabia symbol 28 Pisces Fertile garden under the full moon. James Burgess said of the Sabian symbol that it talked about a great lesson: “Have enough feast.” This reminds me of the fulfillment curve, which shows the relationship between currency, consumption and life satisfaction using the bell curve. It represents the idea that you reach a certain point, meet basic needs and gain a certain level of comfort, any extra money or material goods will be less and less, and less and less for your overall achievement.
Of course, most of us are just concerned with these basic needs, not which yacht to buy. But Venus and Saturn encourage us to focus on what we have and what we find in relationships, personal growth and life experiences.
Willing to participate
The lessons of Mars are primitive survival lessons. Survival means protecting yourself from threats and having the confidence to compete with others for the same resources. when Mars meets Pluto, just like the opposition this week (April 26, 2025, 6:05 pm PDT, 3º48’LEO and Aquarius) Your Mars in Leo Lion may be out of the cage and kill its prey.
However, without healthy energy and ambitions, you may feel incompetent and inadequate. The troublesome question is, do you have a need to succeed? Or are you just giving up?
As always, with Pluto’s transit, the message is about understanding the limitations of your personal power without letting those limits beat you. No matter how hard fighting on Mars, how angry or hard you are, sometimes things that happen can’t be controlled. The most important thing is how to deal with this powerlessness, anger and frustration.
Mars in this opposition Sabia symbol is 4 Leo, A man in formal wear and a deer with a folded horn. Have they given up, or are formal dresses and folded corners a disguise that hides their cruelty and willing to participate at any time?
Penny from heaven
each year Taurus’ new moon (PDT April 27, 12:31 pm) marks a new beginning in our relationship with wealth. Especially when Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, is combined with this new moon’s thrifty Saturn, I think of a Taurus friend who has saved all the loose changes she found on the street since she was a child. She tells a story that after a few years she has enough time to be almost as tall as before in the glass jar. She rolled up the coins, took them to the bank, showed up with enough cash for the limousine all night and treated several of her favorites to dinner in a fabulous restaurant!
Of course, the actual coins are not our only “penny in heaven”. Kindness is also compounded, although if they are made of metal we may notice and appreciate them.
For example, can you save on toxic coins for negative emotions while ignoring the friendly way? Write those “penny” on the notes and place them in a large glass jar. Banks won’t offer them much, but they will certainly make you feel better on a somewhat mean day in the world.
In this new moon chart, Mars/Pluto opposition is the square of the new moon, which makes this more turbulent and even more stressful than Taurus expected. When safety feels elusive, it is difficult to focus on our blessings and we cannot control it. But if we refuse to succumb to fear and focus on blessings and kindness, we may even find some shining pennies!
