The Queen Returns to Her Realm ~ April 29th to May 23rd ~ Blessings Abound!

But first, prepare for Our Lady of Love & Money's tangle with Pluto as a first order of business upon returning to her Queendom. 

Venus will land in Taurus the morning of Monday, April 29th - that's in North America - and immediately square Pluto in Aquarius Wednesday, May 1st, as Pluto stations retrograde Thursday, May 2nd. 

This week is going to be another Plutonic one, but it's going to be worth it.
 

Mercury's recent retrograde in Aries, crossing paths with both the north node of soul growth/destiny and Chiron in Aries layered with the spring eclipses on the Aries-Libra axis of the zodiac has had us upleveling our sense of self and our relationships.

Old unhealthy patterns of being in relationships have been brought to our attention for release as we have been called to embody a stronger sense of self.  

Mercury is both our thinking and communication.  A retrograde in Aries isn't just about more bold and direct authentic self-expression, it's about renewed identity - upgraded self-perception.  Mercury moving back and forth over Chiron during this retrograde meant as part of this process we were healing old wounds to self that were keeping us doubting ourselves, shrinking, not speaking up, and playing small.

So here we are, fresh out of Mercury retrograde, integrating all the healing we've been doing over April, in the final waning moon release before the May 7th new moon and Mercury's third and final aspect to Chiron in Aries - "the resolution."

It's the perfect time to talk about communication in relationships - specifically how the energy beneath the words - your energy - is the key to getting the results you want - the love you want.

The Scorpio full moon is exact as I'm writing this.  A full moon in Scorpio, square its own ruler Pluto, coming on the heels of an eclipse portal opened by a south node full moon eclipse in Libra has my mind on the Greek myth of Persephone and her abduction by Hades (Pluto).

As the myth goes, Persephone, the kore, or maiden, daughter of the powerful goddess of the harvest, Demeter, was out in a meadow picking narcissists when a great crack in the earth opened up and Hades' chariot pulled by black horses came out and snatched her up, taking her back down into the Underworld.

Her mother tries to get her back, but since Persephone has eaten the pomegranate seeds, her fate is sealed.  She spends six months of the year with her mother, Demeter - summer, and the other six months of the year with Hades as the queen of the Underworld, during which Demeter mourns - winter.  

Persephone's abduction actually ends up being a catalyst for her coming into her own power as Queen of the Underworld.  In fact, because she rules the Underworld, she becomes the most powerful goddess - even more powerful than her great mother.  Persephone becomes a guide for souls lost in the Underworld.

Some even go so far to say the myth is documenting the change in society from a more matriarchal culture to a patriarchal culture.  They assert that Hades abducted Persephone because he had asked Demeter for her hand in marriage and she had refused, and he actually needed Persephone to officially secure his throne.  This idea comes from the historical documentation of cultures before this being more goddess-focused than god-focused.  All of a sudden there is a shift in society from matriarchal to patriarchal happening, but the beliefs of the people were still biased to the goddess.

This only adds to the idea that Persephone was immensely more powerful than she knew, overshadowed by her mother until she found herself alone fending for herself in the Underworld.  Then and only then did she find her power and claim her true throne.

And how often in today's modern world do women find themselves in a relationship that forces them to realize their real power and reclaim their inner throne?  How many of these women grew up in the shadow of a mother who felt over protective, overpowering, overwhelming, or domineering?

Maybe this is you.  

If so, it's time to reclaim the throne of your heart and step into your full power.

Pluto is about power, but Pluto's lessons are always, deep down, about letting go.  It's the letting go that allows us to reclaim the personal power that's been tied up in holding on. 

Imagine it like this:  all the astrology over the past few weeks has been calling you to uplevel to a new dimension, pulling you, and you feel the pull and you are moving in that direction, aligning with the emerging future you, but suddenly, its feeling painful, like you are caught between dimensions, caught between worlds. 

It's because the cords of the past are still attached. ​
