Mars Conjunct Pluto 0º Aquarius: The Boiling Point
Mars is conjunct Pluto at exactly 0º Aquarius right now. (February 13th - 20th)
As with all energies, there is a low and a high to this energy.
At its lowest and most volatile (a word that has been consistently running through my mind all morning) this energy is about will and power struggles. When Mars connects with Pluto this may bring a sense of feeling absolutely powerless, like the life force has been drained from you.
The sensation could feel like a pressure from an outside (or inside) force exerting its will upon you - pressuring you to transform and yet you feel powerless to control the tidal wave.
When Mars connects with Pluto it can also feel like the intense desire to fight to regain power over “the oppressor” - whatever is playing out the role of that oppressor in your life currently. In Aquarius this Mars Pluto conjunction may feel like a blend of fire an air, a fire tornado meant to rip up all that has been brewing within you to be seen.
Any sense of loss of will power or ability exert your own desire, passion, and that loss of energy you have experienced may be brought to the surface. This is all in order to help you find more freedom.
Mars is associated with the principles of energy, drive, ambition, assertiveness, and willpower. It is the planet of action, representing how you express your desires and pursue your goals.
Pluto is associated with transformation, power, regeneration, intensity, and the deep, subconscious aspects of life. Pluto is a planet that brings about profound changes and encourages you to undergo inner and outer transformations.
Mars is your will.
Pluto is your power.
Mars is your desire and passion.
This energy may also bring up volatility within your friend groups, social circles, or communities. Arguments around these power struggles are likely, if only to help you flush out where the power has been out of balance.
This is all to assist you in the transformation you are being called into.
At it’s highest…
Pluto is the alchemizer and unearthed. Pluto has a job, and that job is to help you unearth what has not been seen, what has been avoided, and where you have felt powerless to cultivate freedom in your life.
The energy of this potent transit is all about helping you bring to light where your energy has been stagnant, where your drive toward freedom, innovation, and doing things differently has been stunted.
Ask yourself…
What has been standing in your way from achieving ultimate freedom in your life?
What has been holding you back from dancing to the beat of of your own drum?
Where have you fell prey to the minds games telling you that you cannot have your desire for ultimate freedom and doing life on your own terms?
Where to look in your chart:
To understand where this energy is activating you in your life right now:
1. Look to the house ruled by Aquarius in your chart (then download the Free Guide to the Karma of the 12 Houses)
2. Though everyone may feel a deep sense of frustration, anger, upset, and dismantling right now... this may be heightened if you have any placements around 0º Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, or Taurus.
3. Reflect on the houses ruling any placements around 0º in Leo, Scorpio, or Taurus using the Free Guide to the Karma of the 12 Houses.
4. Notice, reflect, and journal on what is being activated in you within this area of your life.
My biggest reminder is that nothing is permanent, and like all inner planet shifts - this one wont last longer than a week. So take the lessons while you get them, receive the information your anger and frustration brings to the surface, and let it show you where you’ve been out of alignment within the innovation of your own reality.
