The best use of astrology is using the energies in play in a constructive way. The following experience illustrates the point.
Last week I felt very proud of myself. I did something I long resisted. I broke down and called in a professional organizer to help me organize and rid my house of the clutter that has been choking me.
As a creative person, antiseptically clean and neat desktops and shelves were never my style. And clutter grows naturally. An old boyfriend called the clutter in my living quarters "organic."
But after the death of my father a year-and-a-half ago, I was only partway through reorganizing my house to have it suit my needs. Enough clutter occupied the space to make it difficult for me to do some activities I've long wanted to do. Like create a painting studio and making my office a more functional and comfortable place.
And while I resisted spending the money, it was costing me money every month in storage fees that had gone up once again.
And I was hitting a brick wall. I was finally ready to let go and bite the bullet.
So I made the call. The person I called was a professional organizer I had gotten to know from an old networking group. Back then, I felt too self-conscious to have anyone I knew even casually take a peek at the garage, closets and other spaces in their glory...
Being the astrologer that I am, I took a look at the ephemeris after we had made the appointment. Sure enough, the appointment coincided with Sun's annual conjunction with my natal Saturn in Scorpio, we were coming up to the annual Scorpio New Moon and Transiting Saturn was square to Pluto. Saturn is about structure and constriction, Pluto is about purging.
And just to cap it off, the Moon would be finishing its transit through Virgo at the time of her initial consultation.
Much is written about the difficulties of Pluto and Saturn energies and I have personally experienced my share. And going forward with my de-cluttering project does not inoculate me from Saturn or Pluto's harsher effects. But signing that contract felt right and I felt lighter knowing that I was finally going to face this issue head-on.
The hard work begins.
