As life changes, we too should change - if we hope to fully experience what life truly has to offer. The reason to flow with the various currents, is for the purpose of inner growth. As we shift inside, our outside will shift. Yet through our very existence in living, we can sometimes become so absorbed in what is happening to us, and/or around us - that we completely lose track of who we actually are - because of the person that we thought we had become.And when this happens, we will fail to recognize the blocks that keep us from progressing and moving forward into happiness. In this complicated process, what we have experienced (good or 'not so good'), will manage to find a way to attach and bond with us. If  we aren't cleansing these attachments regularly (and thoroughly), they eventually become aged, moldy, and toxic. Unknowingly, this contaminates who we are, and where we're going, along a strong sense of powerlessness.Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. Carl YungAs of this past weekend, transformative Pluto stationed retrograde, and for the next five months, we should find ourselves withdrawing and turning inward, to transform our inner self. In this creative period, we temporarily hit the pause button on 'severing, death, and major endings', so that we may step inside of our deepest darkness - where we become one with our disease.During the Pluto retrograde, we should search for what is unnecessary and unhealthy in our own psyche. And what will be required during this extreme investigation, will be full awareness with intense drilling. As we continue to journey and dig deeper... the abscess, the root of all evil, and true potential, will be at our disposal. Pluto will continue to retrograde, pressing into a challenging square with Uranus (The Awakener, Truth) and Saturn rx (The Disciplinary, Responsibility) in May. Depending on your chart or individual situation, this particular energy is bound to hit a nerve, especially for cardinal signs; Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. In the end, the infection must be dealt with, if we are to heal. So as we release the poison, detoxification can become quite uncomfortable, as well painful. Understand 'no pain, no gain', strive for wholeness, and journey well my friend.©1995-2013 Starcana, Inc.
