Saturn Square Pluto

Saturn square Pluto started back on November 15, 2009 when Saturn first made a square aspect to Pluto. This aspect symbolizes our need to come to grips with our deepest fears (Saturn) and to ultimately push through them so that we can experience a total transformation (Pluto).

Keep in mind that the dates listed above refer to when this energy is the most intense. This energy will, however, continue to be felt until Saturn has moved beyond 5 degrees of squaring Pluto on September 25, 2010. As you can see, we can expect to feel this turbulent energy throughout most of the year until late September.

Saturn has long been known as the Lord of Karma. Pluto has the forbidding title of Lord of the Underworld. The square aspect represents two planets that are 90 degrees apart. This aspect is usually experienced as one of great tension and stress.

When you put all of this information together, Saturn square Pluto looks a bit frightening at first glance. Like anything in life there are always two paths to choose from. One option is the lower path and the other option is to choose the higher path.

The lower path is one of fighting and resisting change at all costs. Let me be the first to tell you, Saturn and Pluto will win sooner or later. Resistance truly is futile. The change you're facing is ultimately for your highest good even if it may look absolutely disastrous right now. Tap deep into yourself and know that your highest self knows this. Let go and do your best to flow with the changes.

This leads me to the highest path which is having the wisdom to change what needs to be changed and to repair what needs to be repaired. If this means that we have to change direction, we may have to swallow our pride, let go, and find a new (and better) direction.

Saturn square Pluto also involves facing our darkest fears and marching bravely toward overcoming them. This aspect involves seriously getting your act together. If you've been procrastinating about doing something that you know in your heart is the right thing to do; now you will be intensely confronted with the need to take action.

Curiously, Pluto is currently transiting through the sign that Saturn rules which is Capricorn. This is very important to all of us. What this represents is that the foundations in our life need to be strong and solid. Anything that isn't of a sound and secure nature in our lives will be destroyed in order to bring about a stronger foundation.

This planetary energy can manifest in your belief systems, relationships, career, or your health if you've been negligent. Where exactly this aspect hits you depends upon exactly where the Saturn and Pluto square falls in your astrology chart.

Regardless of where Saturn falls in your astrology chart, Saturn always has something to do with your career in some way. The same principle holds true for Pluto. It always has something to do with transforming something in your life. It always symbolizes a death and rebirth in some manner.

Due to this, it's safe to say that the Saturn square Pluto aspect is transforming something about your career or your life's work in some very meaningful way. You may, however, find this change to be quite challenging especially if you're resistant to it. If you bravely make the necessary changes in your life, you may find the changes to be quite liberating and empowering once you take the plunge.
