As Saturn in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn in the coming months the reality (Saturn/Capricorn) of the shadow side (Pluto) of love (Libra) is going to be your face.  Currently Mercury in Libra squaring is squaring Pluto which opens the door for a dialogue on this topic.

With Pluto involved the deeper you go, the deeper it leads you so I won’t hope to cover this in any way but I can provoke your thinking as someone did mine when they asked the soldier a beguiling question: “So who wants to get married more, you or her?”

The 8th house is concerned with legacy and this goes beyond leaving a legacy or carrying one for others. You’ve got to transfer energy around. As a gross example you wind up the executor of a person’s will.

The Moon is in aspect to Uranus and Pluto today… this hits my natal Moon so I guess it’s just going to be one of those kind of days.

I am grateful to Jorge Torres for his comment on the Shocking But True piece, I guess no one else is going to touch it though I am not sure why.

Mars is exactly opposing the Moon in Scorpio right now and my emotions are agitated!!  I was just telling a pal how hard it seemed to not get roiled up.

We’ve got the planets in Aquarius (including Jupiter and Neptune) aspecting the Moon and Mars so there is a way to transcend, blah, blah, blah, humanity but what do you do with your roiled up emotions them, hmm?

“I ran into, Elsa the other day.”

“Oh yeah? What does she look like? Did she age well?”

What would you say / feel / think if a conversation like got back to you?

Heather writes on Astrology Today:

“I’d like to hear more about the shadow side of Aquarius–particularly if other astrologers don’t talk about it. I am a Aquarius, and I know a good handful more (in whom I can see the shadow–but thanks to a 7th house sun, I can only see myself via another…or so I’ve found. Show me my shadow?”

Pluto, Scorpio and the 8th house… projecting your shadow, a real life example.

Kate’s article with comments: “What Modern Women Want: A Beta Male”

When Pluto transits a sign we see the shadow side of the things the sign rules. For example with Pluto in Sagittarius we saw the shadow side of religion (Suicide bombers and the sex scandal with the Catholic priests), the shadow side of sports (OJ Simpson, steroid use), the shadow side of courts (OJ Simpson again) the press (too many scandals to list).

Dear Elsa,

I begin to wonder if it is more difficult to integrate your Pluto stuff if you are in a more repressed society? Does culture impact the type or amount of Pluto that is expressed and then also integrated?

There have been a lot of interesting, thoughtful, passionate comments on the Robert Hanssen piece and I am glad of it. I feel very strongly about things like this and I feel so out of sync. I think what Pluto though Sagittarius has shown (among other things) is the press is crap.

“Truth” (Sagittarius) is manipulated (Pluto). People publish (Sagittarius) to gain power (Pluto). People’s beliefs (Sagittarius) are manipulated (Pluto) by what is published (Sagittarius) and if you don’t know this by now - Well you should. Oprah tricked by James Frey who wrote a book that would sell and who here is clean, hmm?
