Today’s important New Moon (9:00 PM 23° Capricorn) is tightly conjunct transformative Pluto. Any transformation requires letting go of the past and may invoke strong feelings of loss. Pluto’s reputation for devastation sometimes overlooks the rebirth that comes after the loss. Wild expectations may result in the feeling that we have had the rug pulled out from under us. We may be tempted to believe that others are somehow responsible but by doing so, we will miss the important opportunity for transcendent growth and expanded understanding. Any materialistic aims, goals, or expectations evoked by this New Moon may very well be eventually realized but not without a great deal of sacrifice. The square of Venus to Chiron points to a strong desire for something tangible/material upon which we can rest while a Venus/Uranus trine provokes an independent, devil may care attitude.
