Existential Detective Work.

The current configuration in the sky can have us all feeling a bit like existential detectives. Wanting to probe the deep for her secrets.
With Sun/Venus at 24/22° Libra squaring Pluto at 26° Capricorn for the next week or so, there’s this desire to understand what really makes us tick. Our hidden motivations and desires. The things that are normally too taboo to say or do, we feel compelled to lend expression too.
Things long held in the deep unconscious, suddenly come knocking on our door. And due to the nature of the square, we can no longer ignore them. They may be accompanied by rage, grief, or longing. Perhaps they arrive with an explosive burst as they make their way onto the scene, because we are no longer able to hold them down under the surface.
Emotions may feel a bit dysregulated. This is a beautiful time to practice holding ourselves through what at first glance may feel “big” or “scary”, but is really coming up to ally with us, in service to our liberation.
Libra is ultimately asking us to look at the polarities of shadow and light, finding balance and equanimity between the two.
Spend some time in nature, free write in a journal, move to haunting music, get lost somewhere abandoned. All of these activities match the somewhat “weird” and penetrating energy in the collective.
