A Potent Moment of Reflection Pluto in the Middle, Mercury Leads Us Inward, Puto Cardinal T-Cross, Pluto Gande Earth Trine

In the words of the immortal Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Its about Power."  Its about understanding the nature of power, personal power, personal responsibility.  It's about, in astrological terms, Pluto.  Pluto in retrograde sits really at the middle of everything going on right now.  In this case retrograde's inward focus may be for the best.  Its about consideration of where our personal power lies, how we give it up.  The fear of or distaste for responsibility that causes us to do so. 
But its about power, and wealth and the origins of our inherited power, ownership and the idea of ownership.  How did the land become owned?  Was it always?  So if it wasn't how did the ground come to be owned?
This is the first part of the question.  Pluto in retrograde caught in the center of a T-square between Venus in Libra -in her power urging us to act out of negotiation and with a balance for our needs and another's, to use softness, to find answers by negotiation, the heart of what a relationship means, between equals.  And she is putting pressure on Uranus in Aries pushing hard for immediate change, and the 2 are butting up "squarely" against Pluto in Capricorn who continues to flush out the dirty laundry of the power relationships of our institutions and economic views and how we let them use us to our presumed gain.

It is good to feel discomfort in this vibration, because it is calling us to rethink these things, and re imagine and rebuild.

The 2nd part comes in a grand earth tine Pluto Trine to Jupiter in Taurus, also retrograde.  Thinking about slow steady expansion of possibilities slow new progress, and as they are both turned inward in retrograde its about an internal examination of progress, of power, of all these things.  The only thing not turned inward?
Why reflective mercury in its most self reflective most studious most attention to detail considered of all houses Virgo...

And here it is.  Its about power.  Considering the history of our power.  Considering the legacy of our fears and our hiding from power.  But it is through consideration, through mercury that we find our way forward.  This is not a time to speak, but to listen.  This is a time to redesign with humility and negotiation what has been built in fear and shame.

I examine my fears and shame, and reassess my relationship to my own power.  The history of my inherited power, or inherited shame. I embrace my responsibility, face my fear and with great care humbly find the little road that leads to a better world.
