@soup my Merc is at 28 degrees, so Pluto is coming now for the last pass! I've still got a lot of mental pressure and I'm trying my best to step aside from it and kind of observe it, rather than internalise it. The same group of people are still putting the boot in, but I've stopped wringing my hands over that, they've proved to be ineffectual bullies consumed by greed and I just won't waste my time on people like that.
I know from experience that once Pluto shifts into Aquarius, like he did earlier this year, the pressure will ease and my focus will shift to new horizons.
@plutolover I am so happy to see you have a handle on it now. That is usually how it works with Pluto. At first, it's painful and confusing but as time passes you understand what it is about, and you let it just do its thing. As Pluto hits Aqua it will be exact square my Venus again and I already know who the players are, and I am past the first act.
I just have to let the players play and try not to be too focused on what other people do.
Now that is not to say that I am not surprised by who the main character is in this Pluto bees' nest. I am. It's not who I expected. And yes, it initially hurt. But I have to let go. Not a damn thing I can do about it but hope as time passes things change and the person involved sees the light and changes for the better. If not, what I do understand is that was not for me, and I have to let go. I am past the initial shock and pain, and just rolling with the punches now.
Another inside job on how I handle emotions and relationships. Deep self-reflection time. No matter how deeply a Scorpio loves, we don't own people and they may very well not want to be around us all that much. I have learned to love from a distance. Hard at first, getting so much easier. I don't get to be an all or nothing ... I have to come correct. And stay in my lane. Learning to rise above it. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, but the sting will be much less this time. And I will take the lesson. Next up, Pluto square my Sun. Can't wait for that trash. 😳 This all takes place in my 4th house btw... coming from the 8th to my 4th for my sun. Maybe it will kill me, and I won't have to deal with anymore. Can't say I am not tired. That is for sure.
Glad to hear you are better. ❤️
PS. this person who I speak of will have to deal with Pluto in the 12th house during their lifetime. (at a time, it that it will be very difficult) It all comes around. I wouldn't wish that transit on my worst enemy.
And of course, this was all much harder when Uranus and Saturn were putting on the pressure.
Thank you for sharing. I am going to come back to look at this again. I like to save these Pluto transit threads.
@soup you've got a good handle on Pluto. I find reading your experiences that you've shared here honest, helpful and yes, painful to read at times ❤️ You are made of strong stuff!
And yes, Pluto in 12th is a humdinger! Not knowing much about Astrology at the time, this transit hit me as I grew into adulthood, and I just thought it was how life was, that the gloopiness and isolation was normal for everybody. Imagine the shock I had when it rolled over to my 1st house and I was able to fully participate in life again, and people actually wanted to talk to me 😆 It was at this time I started to study Astrology seriously, and it empowered me beyond belief, and I am so grateful for that.
