“What Am I To Do With My Power?” Saturn Transit To Pluto In Virgo Wants To Know

“Well, you tell some pretty visceral stories. I’ve had to go walk around after some.”

foxxy - that’s interesting. Because although HQ worked on editing it with me (a slow painful process w/ Saturn in my 6th), when it was done and he read it through, he did so while walking and/or riding the subway around NY. I wonder if this has to do with my Mars Mercury. You’ve just got to move.

I know my writing is visceral and I wonder if people don’t absorb and feel some of what I do via my words and if so - Well that energy will definitely get your ass up and out of the chair, I’d know!

Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure if I was just a person reading my stuff I would want to get up and move around too. Or call someone or something. I would want to act! The soldier read my book more than once too, this was another revelation, the secret-keeping bastard revealed last night.

I think this might be it. The stories are intense and they move fast and I guess you can’t just sit there and deal with it because my energy bleeds out.

I don’t know what to do about that book but it scares me finding things like this out. Saturn (fear) in Virgo (writing)… ::shakes head::

Transiting Saturn is conjunct my natal Pluto thereabout. What am I do to with my power? More succinctly, what is the right and responsible thing to do? I am stuck with this question right now, big time.

Can other Pluto in Virgo people relate?

(ps - foxxy is a long time reader, around since 2001 I think)

Yes. I can relate. Maybe if not for Merc Rx I could articulate it. :p

Yes. I can relate, obsessively so. I analyze my distilled and discriminating power from exhausting angles. I let in older people who share humble experience. There is a feeling of death as one side of the fabric, the rest of time on the other and draping this fabric is involved in all daily activities.

yes I can. It is a good question, and one that I am asking myself more and more. And practicaly, How, how do I use strengths that are simultainiously deeply helpful and overwhelming to others, and what do I get out of it that I can actually use? and how to relate to people who just don’t want to deal? Compassonately I guess. I write and just the other day I shared some poetry that that really freaked my brother out, and no it wasn’t doom and suiside notes, it was just really intense. Too much for him. I am too much for a lot of people, but I am just learning to live in it, and be just the right amount for me.
tangent alert:
I’m not sure if this is astrologicaly related, but this happens to me a lot, because I am a strong force people often REALLY get in to me… into everything about me, and then they get mad that I don’t rub off, that they can’t be like me and then they want to crush me. So I will be small like them. I’m not worried about this…I just move on, I like friends, I have and keep friends, but the reason I’m interesting is I hate being bored! I always want more! More life more friends, more love and more fun.

I really believe that you are already doing it and that it will grow and transform and that you just have to continue riding the wave.

I have Pluto in Virgo as well, Elsa. My ascendant is in Pisces, and I am supposed to be very empathic. (I have been discovering a lot of things about myself that I have only just recently found revealed in my horoscope!)

I guess I do what you don’t want to do. You like to just put stuff out there, and let people do with it what they will. I try to put myself in other people’s shoes, and think about how other people might perceive what I wrote (said)…. and I often tailor it.

You certainly couldn’t do that in a blog, who would have the time? As far as a book goes, well a person could always put it down…

Not sure if I answered your question, (I’m not sure I understood it) or not?

Michele - I think it’s a question for me to ask myself and others with this transit may feel similar pressure but as far as to what is right - that answer has to come from inside of me. Saturn asks for you a person to have integrity which means they not be swayed by public opinion although breaking laws does have consequence.

Hmmm, my Saturn is in Pisces. Wishy, washy?

I have Pluto in Virgo, and have a reputation among my colleagues of being a sort of “bad cop” as opposed to my close working partner’s “good cop” persona/modus operandi. I am fun, humorous, and will do anything in my power to help folks around me achieve, and they know it. But I don’t suffer fools gladly either, and when it’s time to tell it like it is, well I do it. It can be exhausting.. Anyway, recently my boss told me to turn some of my “impatience” with less experienced co-workers, into “teaching moments.”
Right now I feel unrelenting pressure to express myself differently , and it’s making me paranoid and restless!Oh vey…

Hi, I like youse guys conversation. I’ll come around here from time to time and lurk. I’d be an expert perhaps on Saturn and Sun in Virgo, anyway, I guess. This will be my second Saturn return this year, and for a couple of years I’ve been searching for an astrologer who was well qualified to speak to that. But honestly, and after all, I’ve just had so much going on these past 2 or 3 years, what with the Uranian opposition and all, I’m just kind of exhausted with asking questions. I have lots of other stuff in my chart (fortunately) that kind of balances out the Saturn/Virgo, but . . .

Yes, I am Pluto in Virgo, and I can relate.

Right now, I’m asking myself about my work direction; staying where I am, which pays the bills but isn’t leaving the sparkle anymore, or taking some risks which, if successful, would allow me to contribute more to others and would be more creatively fullfilling.

On your writing specifically, I would say that yes, people definitely absorb some of your energy through it. I’ve always experienced your energy as concentrated, and the expression has become more concentrated over the last few years as you’ve polished your writing.

The other thing about some of your stories is that it’s not just about moving…sometimes it’s about action. There have been times when I’ve been led to take action from what you’ve written. Boxing up care packages to send to soldiers…reaching out to someone in need…looking for reasons to care for people rather than judge them. Your stories have changed me and have made me want to use my power to change others.

I think it’s been clearer to me this year more than in the past. I went back into the classroom and I couldn’t connect with all my students, but I know in my heart, that I reached a few that desperately needed an ally. Is it the right thing? I’m pretty sure that what is good for kids is the right thing. Was it the popular prudent thing? No, and I have the scars to show it. But I can take a few hits, a couple of these kids really couldn’t take a hit at that moment. It was a honor to be a shield.

It’s pretty trippy-flippy to have crossed over into being the oldest person in the group.

Elsa, this book you wrote? Is it still in print?

Elsa

Loonsounds - it has never been printed… it’s been on ice for 3 years now I guess and I have no idea when or if the ice is ever going to melt, although I am SURE it will be printed if I die and yes, I’d bet my life on that.

I’d reeeeaaaaaally prefer to not have to wait for that to happen before reading your memoir.

I think thats a pretty keen insight. I’m a mover myself though, and anytime (since forever) I’ve found myself deeply (pluto) disturbed I end up needing to walk. Anything faster I find myself getting hurt because I’m inward focused and not paying attention.

As for using it responsibly, I think you do, and I think being yourself you’ll continue to refine how you use it. When you write you put all the issues on the table and you do it in an honest and high integrity fashion. If you say thats what happened/is happening, thats pretty much what is. And you tackle things regardless of controversy and with all the libra both sides of the issue you can think of. While also being direct/simplified. ‘Thats a spade, and I looked at both sides, and . . Spade’.

You’ve used that to raise awareness of abuse and how to help people in situations of abuse, how to handle relationships, death, family, giving, coping, basically any of the meat in life you’ve at least . . I was going to say touched upon, but that sounds superficial, which isn’t in keeping with what I really mean.

I think when it comes around your book is going to hang out on my shelf being re-read for life. Because its got to be dense, packed. I’m sure it’ll change my life at least a bit, and probably a few times.
