Saturday, Oct. 27, 2007 | Pluto conjunct Galactic Core
Hello Everybody,
I am just recovering from the Taurus Full Moon from last night, so I thank you for being patient. It was an absolutely stunning sight, and I hope you managed to catch a sight of beautiful Luna. On Friday evening, Mercury sextiled Pluto and the Galactic Core, continuing the ongoing theme of revelation, so pay attention to any important insights that might have come through.
As we head into the weekend, on Saturday evening Pluto makes its third and final conjunction to the Galactic Core; the first two took place on Jan. 13 and July 16 earlier this year. At the time of the last conjunction, Pluto was retrograde, and many participated in the Fire the Grid meditation to heal our planet -- capitalizing on the immense inner-healing potential of Pluto's backward motion.
This is marking the grand finale of Pluto's trek through Sagittarius over the past 12 years, let alone year or week. We can look back to the dates of the conjunction earlier in the year to see just how far we have come. Pluto's direct motion coincided with Venus going direct just days before the last Solar Eclipse on Sep. 11, 2007.
Pluto is about complete and total transformation; with its final conjunction with the Galactic Core, we get a picture of a re-birth of the soul. This is changing us from and to the core, filling us with the infinite wisdom of the universe. There is no denying the power that this moment in time has to catapult us far into the future. If you look around, we are in a very different world than the one we began the year in. In some ways, things seem to be the same, indeed, even going from bad to worse. But at least there is no way to deny or turn a blind eye to all that has been revealed, and we have no choice but to deal with it.
Pluto only brings to the surface what was hiding deep in the shadows, especially with the aspect taking place so close to a Full Moon in Taurus and with Pluto being the ruler of Scorpio, its opposite sign. Deep insights are reverberating loud and clear now; it's time to take that leap of faith and to surrender to what we know we must do in order to get to the other side. There's no going back from what we know now, and it's time to march stoically, steadily and fearlessly forward. Settle for nothing less than the absolute best, because you deserve nothing less.
Soon after the conjunction, the Moon ingresses Gemini, edging towards an opposition to Pluto and the Core. Also at this time, there is a loose water trine forming between the Scorpio Sun, Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Pisces. We can expect to be emotionally processing all the information that has just come to the surface. This forming water trine is another picture of the deeply seductive, emotional waters we now find ourselves in, urging us to pursue our wildest desires and to dare to reach for our most outrageous dreams.

Yesterday, I had a few close friends (and of course my brother) over for mum's cooking, including my friend Ayesha, whom I have known since we were five, toothless, and in kindergarten: the kind of friend I don't have to explain myself at all to, who knows me, accepts me wholly, isn't oblivious to my faults, but loves me anyway. On Ayesha's nostalgic request, the menu was a particular south-Indian rice dish that my mother cooked and that we ate out of my lunch box when we were kids in school.
It was a fitting Full Moon for me, with family, friends, food, wine, and love, and rather poignant personal moments as well. After dinner, we went up to the roof for awhile to bask in the moonlight. Then my friend Cole, his girlfriend and myself headed up to St. Nick's Pub in Harlem (the oldest jazz bar in NYC) to listen to some soul-quivering, heart-shaking, body-moving jazz as we danced the night away.
Tomorrow I head up to Kingston with Mom and Apoo (my brother) for the weekend to see Eric. I was hoping for better weather, but it's pouring rain here in NYC. Either way, something about heading up there always seems to calm me down as I get closer to nature. Not to mention, I am looking forward to having my mother and Eric in the same room. I can't wait for two of the most significant people in my life to meet; my mother gave me, above all, the gift of life, and Eric helped me take my first gasping breath, when I was searching for its [life's] meaning. For that, I will be eternally grateful for them both.
Here's wishing you a rich, earthy, grounded, soulful weekend. Cherish all that is, and keep the dream of what could be alive and strong.
Love,
Priya
