Astrology for Sunday, 2 February 2020:

Today Venus in Pisces makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto draws us toward the intensity buried beneath the surface, and sextile Venus, we may be given the opportunity to make love in the underworld, by which I mean to practice loving those parts of ourselves or one another that we have hidden, repressed, rejected, or ignored. How can we invite the healing waters of Pisces into those places we have abandoned or rejected? What are the relationships in which we can trust another to love what we ourselves have struggled to accept? The Moon in Taurus makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, a dreamy, supportive invitation into softening our edges and finding where bodies blur at their boundaries, flowing in and flowing out from one another. Then the Moon makes trines to Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. What roots you deeply into your own sources of power? Audre Lorde reminds us that the erotic is a resource of power within each of us “firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling … The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings.” As the Moon trines Pluto, how can you follow the roots of your unexpressed and unrecognized feelings to access the depth of power available to you in the interval between your initial sense of self and your strongest feelings that exceed order or reason? As the Moon trines Saturn, we can also ask: what are the containers or structures we need to put into place in order to access such erotic power within our bodies, in order to support our ongoing experience of pleasure, safety, and well-being?
