New Moon on Monday Astrology

6 July 2011

Jupiter’s pretty happy in Taurus, where he’ll be for almost another year.  Jupiter brings exaggeration and Taurus is all about the things that feel good.  Jupiter in Taurus expands our desire for the delicious and the delightful and the soft to the touch.  Sometimes maybe to an excessive degree.  

Pluto’s doing some hard work in Capricorn, where he’ll be until 2024.  Pluto brings transformation and Capricorn is all about our foundation, our structure, our government.  Pluto brings out the dark side of things, exposing what absolutely needs to change.  And a lot of the times, the things that need to change are the very hardest to let go.

A trine between Jupiter and Pluto will be exact tomorrow morning at 6:53 am (pacific daylight time).  Trines bring enabling energy.  They open up the path between two planets or points so that they can work swiftly together.  Trines are always between two signs of the same element.  Tomorrow’s trine between planets in Earth signs means that it will manifest in tangible, material ways.  

There are infinite ways this transit might manifest.  It could exaggerate (Jupiter) the transformations (Pluto) that need to happen with our government (Capricorn). It could expand (Jupiter) our desire (Taurus) to feel more powerful (Pluto).  Excessive (Jupiter) spending (Taurus) could bring the breakdown (Pluto) of our foundation (Capricorn). 

And it surely doesn’t have to be as drastic as all that.  One of the things that Astrology is best for is learning how to use energy as productively as you can.  An earthy trine between Jupiter (the Great Benefic) and Pluto, the planet that brings absolute power is a very lucky time for planting seeds (earth) that can bring you a lucky, and very powerful transformation (Jupiter + Pluto).  This is especially lucky weather for Virgo, the third Earth sign.  

Jupiter is relatively slow and Pluto is slow as syrup, so this is an aspect that’s been affecting us all week and will take a while to dissipate.  It will also repeat itself toward the end of October, and again in 2012.  Plant the seeds now, and see how it manifests on October 28. 

Power Luck,
