Pluto: Reclaim Your Power

Pluto Character
What Pluto Lessons Feel Like

Dark, intense, and relentless. Emotional extremes, power struggles, karmic relationships, feeling pulled & powerless. Losing that which you are most attached to.

What Pluto Teaches Us

Pluto rips away from us the things we thought we needed to survive, but were actually holding us back. Developing resilience, independence, and self-reliance allows us to reclaim our power and operate from strength rather than fear. Pluto wants us to know what we are capable of.

Neptune: Find Real Magic

Neptune Character
What Neptune Lessons Feel Like

Longing for a feeling of safety, home, redemption, relief, that is always just out of reach. Confusing, like being lost in a dream. Tragic, emotional, overwhelming. Self-sacrificing, boundary-less.

What Neptune Teaches Us

Neptune is a siren song that pulls us into a promise of bliss or redemption, sacrificing our wellbeing for a dream, until we finally become exhausted & disillusioned. As we release our attachment to a fantasy, we gain the ability to love the world as it is. Neptune wants us to be present to the magic available in every moment.

Uranus: Free Your Genius

Uranus Character
What Uranus Lessons Feel Like

Restlessness, like you want to break free. Knowing you are different. A misfit, detached from what others value. But you can see what others can’t—how the world could be better.

What Uranus Teaches Us

Uranus brings rebellious, unstable energy that rejects what is familiar and comfortable as it seeks its vision of what could be. As we develop our ability to work with this energy rather than be subject to it, we liberate our mind from conditioning and reclaim our mental freedom. Uranus wants us to awaken to our potential.

Chiron: Heal Your Pain

Chiron Character
What Chiron Lessons Feel Like

You want the pain to stop, but doubt it is possible. You feel different in a way that makes you feel inferior, or broken. Like you will never be enough. And it’s not fair, you didn’t deserve this.

What Chiron Teaches Us

Chiron brings a wound we can’t ignore. This vulnerable place in us resists healing until we turn toward the pain and let it break us open. Through self-compassion, we connect to our inherent spiritual nature and find the place in us that can never be wounded. Chiron wants us to remember who we really are.

Saturn: Build Your Strength

Saturn Character
What Saturn Lessons Feel Like

Paralyzed. Afraid of failure. Avoiding the work because you know it won’t be good enough. Or trying to prove yourself through perfectionism and overdoing. Desperately wanting someone to see your potential and validate your value.

What Saturn Teaches Us

Saturn creates painful self-doubt that we attempt to relieve through chasing external validation or pretending we don’t care. When that doesn’t work, we are faced with the task of self-development that only we can do. Saturn wants us to grow up and do the work to develop skills & confidence.

Understand Your Karma

Dragon
What is karma?

Karma is just cause and effect, but we usually discuss it in terms of what is carried over from past lives. Karmic complexes are ingrained patterns that you may have been playing out for many lifetimes.

How do I clear karma?

Clearing karma will happen naturally through healing and growth work, as long as you are going deep enough into your shadow and unconscious patterns. It is especially important to work with your defense mechanisms, as these prevent healing from occurring by protecting wounding. A good motto is to always turn toward the pain with compassion, rather than trying to escape or avoid or cope with it. For changing ingrained patterns, mindfulness (neutral self-observation) is the key.
