The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (October 17)

We all have a dark side.  We all have demons.  Pluto is going to take us  deep inside of ourselves as it squares up with Pluto. This in of itself is not problematic. Any Sun/Pluto aspect is an opportunity  for self-awareness and growth.  However with a Sun opposition to Eris in addition to the Sun/Pluto square we have potential for the projection of our demons on to others now,  which can lead to discord, chaos and destruction.  Ego conflicts with authority figures over power dynamics are also more prevalent under these energies. Step back from anger and judgement  and from reckless action or reactivity.   Allow yourself to find perspective.  Perhaps even compassion.  If that seems like too far a reach  try to conjure some good old pragmatic Capricorn self-interest to steer you from self-sabotage or worse.  We want to grow and evolve.  And that is the positive of the Sun/Pluto dynamic. But life is hard enough all on its own without us making it more difficult for ourselves via reactivity,  poor choices and self-sabotage.⁣

These challenging Sun/Pluto/Eris energies  will hold strong until Tuesday.
