The Saturn-Pluto Report: September 23-29, 2019

(CLICK HERE for your introduction to the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and why it is so important for many of us)

You probably already know what parts of your chart are affected by the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, but if you aren’t, CLICK HERE to visit the The Saturn-Pluto Bomb Shelter And Lounge on Facebook and we’ll figure it out!

For many of us the last few weeks have represented a break from the worst effects of the Saturn Pluto conjunction, with Saturn and Pluto being at a distance of about 6 degrees from each other. Unfortunately, I must now announce that the vacation is over.

Saturn is no longer retrograde, and that means the gap is closing between it and Pluto. The two planets are now on the final run-up to the exact conjunction, which happens in January.

As is the usual case with most major transits, it is often the smaller and faster transits that can trigger significant results, whether for good or bad. That’s what’s happening this week, as Mercury and Venus in Libra take turns squaring Saturn and Pluto. Expect communications to be more difficult and abrupt, and affections to be curtailed, blocked, or interrupted. Ouch!

Here’s when the Moon will be helping (or not):

Mondays are rarely fun. That’s especially the case this Monday, when transiting Moon in Cancer is opposite Saturn and Pluto. Expect more than the usual amount of tension and moodiness, especially from co-workers.

Fortunately, this situation is somewhat reversed on Friday, when the Moon in Virgo helps smooth things over with Saturn and Pluto getting the square from Mercury, and with Venus approaching the exact square to Pluto.  I should note, however, that Moon in Virgo on Friday will also be opposite Neptune, which is potentially perilous for emotional encounters. Are you really sure you want to have a few drinks before that serious conversation with your Significant Other?
