Pluto out of retrograde
Pluto, the planet of ordeals and the transformations that arise from them, comes out of retrograde today. The planet of rebirth, Pluto’s job is to drag us kicking and screaming into the next stage of our personal evolution whether we like it or not. For the past 5 months this astrological giant has lain dormant like some cosmic Godzilla but now it will be up and roaring. Ask yourself what got tabled around May 2d. Maybe it was a promised promotion at work that didn’t materialize, something in your relationship that you said was OK when it wasn’t, or a pledge to yourself to pursue a creative project that wound up getting postponed again. Then again this could concern a financial dispute where you’ve been outmatched and have taken quite a beating. In any case, wherever you left off in May is exactly where you will pick up again, but this time you really must follow through as if your survival depended on it. The clock is ticking and Pluto is only in Capricorn for 5 1/2 more weeks. Once it changes zodiac signs that opportunity will be lost. Signs most affected: Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn
