Like ships passing in the night, Mercury and Pluto are asking us to consider what we have learned about ourselves, and perhaps even life itself, for the past 15 years.

At the same time that Mercury is entering Gemini, Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn where it will remain until January 21st. Saturn is readying itself for its retrograde phase next week, and this can feel like you are needing to take a few steps back before you can then move forward. Mercury entering your sign this week can bring new beginnings, but do not be dismayed if at first it feels as if some delays and obstacles are strewn in your path. There comes a time in everyone’s life, where we find it necessary to break out of the prisons of our own making, in order to emerge out into a world that promises greater possibility. What useful skills have you learned, what lessons and experiences have contributed to who you are today? And which of these do you wish to further commit to going forward? We are all doing an inner inventory of the past 15 years, figuring out what is worth holding on to, while culling out that which we have simply outgrown. What old ideas or commitments that once felt so supportive, now make you feel limited and stuck in the past? It could also happen as you go back over old territory with Pluto that you come to better appreciate the values, beliefs and traditions that you had invested in over the past 15 years. Now that Pluto is returning to Capricorn this week, you could come to the realization that you are still holding on to certain vestiges of a past, or ideas about yourself, that belonged to a person you once were. What with Uranus in your sign for the past 5 years, and now Pluto gradually moving into Aquarius, at some point you may not even recognize the person you are becoming.

And it is within this liminal phase between the Pluto and Capricorn era and the Pluto in Aquarius era that you will be focusing in on those goals that are worth further investing in, and where you might want to free yourself up in order to move in a whole new direction. And as Pluto return to Capricorn you will find yourself revisiting all this, and wondering: What am I going to do with all that I have achieved and built and experienced? Where am I going to go from here? Your role in the outer world has long since evolved and grown. And betwixt and between the push and pull of destiny and fate you were building something: a new life, your career, your reputation. But within that construct were also those callings. No doubt there were struggles along the way: power struggles, intense interactions with authorities, situations over which you felt you had no control. For some, it may have even felt like you were being called in a certain direction. For the week of June 9th thru the 16th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:įor the past 15 years you were being tasked with taking greater control of your life and your destiny.
