Pluto retrograded on March 26th. This retrograde period comes to an end now as Pluto stationed direct on September 2nd. These last few months have seen Intensity and power issues ratchet up and you may have felt that there is a lot at stake. Although this intensity can drive people to extremes, letting go of beliefs that don't serve you (or the world) have been a part of this long retrograde period. Now as Pluto moves forward again, you have the chance to put into practice everything you've learned about power and beliefs and how they affect your life. Hopefully you've transformed your life during this period to more accurately reflect who you are now. If so, your own sense of empowerment will be at an all time high. Continue to throw out old disempowering beliefs and let go of old disempowering situations to take full advantage of this turn-around time.
Some people think it's holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it's letting go. Sylvia Robinson
