Facing fears. Pluto stations direct, and connects with Saturn.

Pluto stations direct, 20th September 2013.

Pluto (in Capricorn) stations direct today at 4.28pm BST, within 4' of orb of its exact sextile (the third of three) with Saturn in Scorpio. The sextile perfects at about 5am tomorrow morning here in the UK.

This strongly emphasises the 'mutual reception' between the two planets - they are in each others' signs, and so are 'at home' with each other, they cooperate. This could be a tremendously powerful, resourceful and creative combination for getting things done on a material level and for facing and transforming (Pluto) our fears (Saturn).

The Nodal axis and Venus are also in the mix, as Saturn approaches a conjunction with the North Node on the 25th. Melanie Reinhart has given some great practical guidelines for working with the Saturn-Node conjunction on her website.

Today I was asked to face one of my biggest fears - to stand up in front of a huge group of people and speak. In addition to the station, mutual reception and sextile mentioned above, transiting Pluto is currently within a degree of a square to my natal Saturn on my MC as it stations, emphasising this Pluto-Saturn energy for me. Time to face my fears.
