This some of the most transformative energy that can be found within natal charts. Those with this aspect are driven and nothing can knock them off their course. They are obsessed with their own destiny. People with this placement have complete power over deciding their own path. A serious intensity follows these individuals and others are not quite sure how to react to the sense of raw power found within this aspect. These types are fascinating and everyone else likes to track their progress. Personal transformations are taken in stride because they know how to handle fear with healthy action.

your ancestors speak to you through transits like this. are you listening? and if you listen very closely you may pick up on a message from any descendants - genetic or otherwise - that you might have.

There is a concept in astrology called "Octaves." I don't talk about it often, but today it is foundational to the energies of the day. "Octaves" is the idea that the personal planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars are lower (or more physical) vibrations of the transpersonal (or generational) planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. When the planets in an octave interact with each other in a noticeable way, you need to pay attention. So, when Mercury/Uranus, Venus/Neptune and Mars/Pluto are dancing with each other, take note. Today Mars in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries (the ruler of Mars) at 9°, a Mars/Aries ruled degree. At the same time Pluto (the higher octave of Mars) in Capricorn trines the North Node in Taurus at 27°, another Mars/Aries ruled degree. Today you are engaging in some "sacred destruction." Destruction is a key aspect of both Mars and Pluto energy. Understand you cannot survive on this Earth without destruction. You destroy as you breathe. You destroy when you eat. As you walk, bike or drive you destroy what's underneath your feet or tires. Every action you take destroys in such a way that life is altered. Destruction can be in alignment with the flow of life, or done merely for the sake of gratifying a life-negating ego. You always get to choose. Today choose wisely as you have the opportunity to remove a major obstacle. Mars square Chiron indicates its something that bothers your ego, that ultimately leads to great pain. Pluto trine the North Node indicates there is something in the world changing, that is forcing you to address this hurt once and for all. Whatever is going on out "there" that is frustrating you, making you so angry you can't see straight, is a pointer to something on the inside that needs to be dealt with. Starting that process today will go a long way toward that process. The answer will come from outside ego, says the Mars/Pluto octave. But that destruction must come from a sacred, reverent place. So the question before you today: What's the most loving and life-affirming way I can "destroy" this thing that bothers me so?

There are a number of things you can do in order to be a "complete" person. One is a life-affirming balance between masculine and feminine energies in all aspects of your being. Knowing when to use one energy over the other is a skill I'm learning to fine tune and use with more finesse. If this is something you are still seeking to use more effectively, the astrology will be giving you ample opportunity. Starting February 10th, Mars and Venus have been engaging in this beautiful dance of conjunction, then separation; conjunction then separation. This dance continues till March 14th, during which time the two planets are never more than one degree apart. Today is a beautiful day to promise yourself a more intimate look at how these energies express - or don't - in your life. The energies of ebb and flow, active and passive, giving and receiving, and push and pull are all expressions of masculine and feminine energies. At times these energies may be level 50/50 in your world, but typically they are uneven. It's knowing how to tip the scales in order to engage with life more beneficially that adds wisdom to your tool kit. Starting that dance with yourself today is aided by the exact trine between Pluto in Capricorn and the North Node in Taurus t 27°. They've been in trine since February 5th, but today that trine is exact (degree and minute) at 27° 23 minutes. Things started today have more sticking power, and more likely to manifest, so choose wisely. And lastly, Mercury spends much of the day at 29° Capricorn, before moving in to Aquarius at 4:53pm EST USA (9:53pm UTC). Stay focused on how you WILL accomplish your goals, and avoid ideas or talk that focuses on only the obstacles or challenges. Today, thoughts become things, so proceed accordingly.
