By NEDDA MAGIC ADVISOR – Our ‘new world order constructing’ mode is on. We have been feeling it for years, and more radically since a few months ago. We have already reached a lighter wave in the past weeks, but the stars are still bringing us some smoothies.

Past Thursday Venus and Mar began a nice walk in the intellectual and organized Virgo. The feminine and masculine energies came to each other, they are spreading their energies now hand in hand for 2 weeks. Virgo is a grounded earth sign affecting both planets in a soothing way. Airy Libra gets a bit closer to reality and the roots, fiery Mars is calming and slowing down. This transit is giving us the chance again to balance and harmonize our love life and relationships. For old relationships this brings agreement and amiability in a way, or can attract new encounters or a fortunate stroke of serendipity. If we love someone, we need to make a compromise between the other person’s personality and our desired partner picture. A track comes to my mind: “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”… The song starts with the London Bach Choir, and it is like the celestial feeling when we are just starting to realize that we love someone. The song was released by the Rolling Stones in 1969 on the album Let It Bleed. (Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards) There is a perfect description of its message on Wikipedia and it could also be a description of the decisions we are making in our love life or when handling love. “Each verse captures the essence of the initial optimism and eventual disillusion.”

“No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need”

I think the question about keeping or leaving a love relation is not whether we love each other or not. Do we want to be the person who we are next to our partner? Are we satisfied with ourselves as the way we participate in the every-days / in our fights / sexual life, etc… Do we react to the other’s personality in a positive or negative way?

My mother told me: “we cannot change another person, we can only change our attitude”. Sometimes there is a beautiful realization about how much we don’t know what we wish for, and how much we need what we have. Everyone comes into our life with a lesson, even our love. We can decide at a point if we want to walk on and continue changing (which is continuous) in the way we are or we can choose another direction. Love sometimes means letting go, a break up can have a smoothing effect as well. At the same time we can realize what a beautiful teacher our loved one is to us. And then we can take a big breath and work on ourselves in a different way to make it work. Many times a compromise means admitting that we are wrong, when we don’t see the need to change some of our behaviour or reactions. The chance of identifying these things is always there, just as the decision to change Real love is living and many times challenging, but it is worth it, we all know that.

An opposition came to this transit on the 24th of September: Mars in Virgo opposed (180°) to the retrograde Neptune in Pisces. Neptune represents our dreams, illusion, abstract thought and the mysterious. He is the ruler of these energies and he is now face to face with Mars, the planet of passion, ambition and competition. It is an “either – or” influence and can bring further need to choose a direction. Last Thursday at dawn was also the exact time of the opposition of Jupiter and Uranus. It brought more tension, a bigger need to do what needs to be done. Jupiter is the big benefactor, he supports the changes in our beliefs and Uranus gives us the radical power for this, as the planet of rebellion and new world order.

Love rules our mind, heart and everything in the universe. Everything is about connecting in many ways: partner, friend, family, boss, classmate, and children, etc… We are in the middle of radical changes, with the need to totally destroy and rebuild everything. It starts with inner work, and at the same time the matrix of every connection, our relationship with the world shifts to a different point of view. Every planet transits were in the past ‘hard’ and busy affections for radical reconstruction propped up.

Another karmic Lord also is also accompanying us along the way, since 2008, and he has been working behind the scene. Pluto (which is the furthermost galactic player) represents the aspect of buried power, he is a decomposer, and often he is the dark knight that brings rebirth. In the personal portray (radix) he stays in one sign for generations, because he moves so slowly. This brings the same (karmic) patterns for a whole generation, showing the deepest points of barriers standing in front of spiritual growth. These points are the most hidden ones. “He can put you in a showdown between your greatest fears of being destroyed, and the pursuit of the deepest longing in your heart. The Ego holds to it’s defenses, but Pluto tries to urge you to let go, and surrender to become a new person.” (More about Pluto: https://www.thoughtco.com/plutos-meaning-in-astrology-206366 ) Where you have these weak points, there you have problems in your life, returning in the past years. Take a look back and make a summary, which areas are you stuck in or feel unsuccessful in. To change a point of view and yourself in these areas is key to leaving the karmic cycle and healing it.

On 29th September Pluto went direct at 16° Capricorn. He entered into this sign in 2008 and is staying here until 2024. Together with the cardinal earth sign, Pluto becomes a structure-builder, the master of the physical realm and constructs a new, stabile, long lasting base. Capricorn likes to be the spine of society and he goes deep for it. Pluto is another aspect of Mars, he is Hades, the Lord of Underworld – the subconscious. He explodes like plutonium, brings down the old barriers that are holding you back from growth. Pluto transits are very powerful and we realise them collectively and individually as well. Miracles happen when we keep on changing and realize how powerful we are. These are times for improving a true faith in ourselves and reinterpreting what it means that everything is happening for us.

“How does Pluto change us? By putting us through a death and rebirth experience, a long, dark night of the soul. A Pluto transit is the most profound of all the planetary transits: it is nothing less than a total and complete transformation from one way of being to another. In nature, this is best illustrated by the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. In the cocoon, the caterpillar’s structure is lost in a meltdown to a mass resembling stem cells, from which, miraculously, the animal finds a new shape as butterfly. For human beings, this is a psychological process during which we often feel we are in meltdown or “lost in the dark,” not knowing what we are to become or what life will be like when we emerge. How to handle your Pluto transit: Trust your process of change. Stop fighting it. The war is over—it’s time to remove the corpses from the battlefield. Yes, you will be different after this—look for the ways that is a good thing. Let go of what you don’t really need. What’s left will be essential and true. Pluto’s gift is not only the rebirth of whatever he touches, but also your growing sense of deathlessness, every time he changes you by taking away what you didn’t really need. Fly, bright butterfly, into your new life. But don’t forget the caterpillar, because you will be that again, somewhere, someday.”
