Pluto takes 247 years around the zodiac and last time it was here in Aquarius was 1778-1797, heralding an era for revolution. Surely our voices will be heard. Look deeper in life to keep minds and hearts connected.
Break out of old groups and patterns. Retain our individual thinking collaborate new communities.
Encourage spiritual practices with Neptune in Pisces. Seek empathy and intuition. Recognize we are all shifting our ways towards spirituality. Time to seek what still works and what does not anymore.
Saturn joins Neptune in Pisces 3/7/23. Brings old wisdom, discipline, practicality (Saturn), into our spiritual source (Neptune) and can help us control our personal and cultured addictions.
Water problems will keep climate change urgency in the forefront-
This year may have a slow start with Mercury, Mars and Uranus all in retrograde so lets use the first few weeks in January to review and prepare rather than push. Mars turns direct 1/12/23, Mercury 1/18/23 and Uranus 1/22/23 then we are all now in movement.
