Jupiter-Pluto's Light Show

This week's big astro news is the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (December 11th, 2:36 pm EDT) in Sagittarius. Pluto's role is to drag everything hidden into the light, and find out what's true at the core. Jupiter is the champion of causes, the true believer, and can be an inspiring catalyst for change. The two together in Sagittarius sets fire to your aspirations, and gives you the courage to wade through the self-doubt, apathy, lack of confidence, etc, that comes up to block your progress. Wendy Guy of Evolving Door Astrology has posted an in-depth article on the meeting of these two superpowers, subtitled, Plumbing Your Depths to Find Your Highest Truth.

The hardest thing to do when following your bliss is to let breakdowns happen, but sometimes that's the only way to reach the next level of growth. The Jupiter-Pluto conjunction simulataneously brings on the breakdown and the breakthrough. It's a time to restore your faith that there still is a path leading to your dreams. One of my favorite holiday spectacles growing up was the luminaria along our driveway and through the neighborhood. The planets in Sagittarius are like luminaria that guide you toward your highest path, and shine light on what needs to be healed.
