131. Pluto Transits, Creativity & Visibility Wounds with Renata Taravski
Right now is simultaneously a moment for the creatives of the world to experience an awakening, and yet also a deep rebirth. And as we all know, the rebirth process is never easy. We go kicking and scream, we claw our way out of our old lives. We do not go easefully into the next version of ourselves.
This week on the It's Karmic Podcast, I sat down with Renata Taravaski to talk about Pluto transits, visibility wounds, creativity, identity death, fear, grief, authenticity, and what happens when life strips you down to the bone.
We talked about the terrifying process of being seen while simultaneously wanting to disappear. The projections people place onto creators. The exhaustion of performing online. The grief that comes when an old version of you dies. The nervous system collapse that happens when your soul knows something no longer fits, even if your mind is still trying to force it.
We also talked about:
Pluto transits and the destruction of old identities
Leo/Aquarius wounds around visibility and belonging
Fear of criticism and rejection
Creativity as medicine
Why some people lose themselves trying to be accepted
Death, existential fear, and surrender
How astrology can help you understand what’s happening to you instead of feeling cursed by it
Learning to create from authenticity instead of performance
This episode is especially for:
Creatives and artists
Astrologers and spiritual practitioners
People moving through major Pluto transits
Anyone questioning who they are becoming
Those struggling with visibility, self-expression, or online criticism
The people in the cocoon phase of transformation
Anyone grieving an old version of themselves
People feeling burnt out, emotionally raw, or spiritually cracked open
There’s a moment in this conversation where we talk about how many of us keep reaching back trying to become an old version of ourselves again, instead of learning how to meet and love who we are becoming now.
That part hit hard, because sometimes healing isn’t about “getting back” to yourself. Sometimes it’s about allowing yourself to become someone entirely new.
If you’ve been feeling like your life, identity, creativity, or purpose is being dismantled lately… this conversation is probably going to meet you exactly where you are.
We want to know:
What cracked open for you?
What did you see differently?
What are you being asked to let die so something more authentic can emerge?
