Saturn Sextile Pluto

Week Ahead Astrology

Saturn sextiles Pluto this week and we get a reality check from the seeds planted during the pandemic back in 2020. On January 12, 2020, Saturn (Reality, Time, and Structure) conjoined Pluto (Power, Control and Rebirth) at 22° Capricorn.  We began a collective new cycle. During this period, we had a worldwide pandemic. It was a moment in time that affected the collective as a whole. It was a collective wake-up call. Think back to 2020. What decisions and choices and intentions did you make then, and where are you now in reference to those decisions, choices and intentions?

The pandemic was a turning point for humanity. And now as Saturn and Pluto make their first aspect we get to see where we are in reference to the journey that began back in 2020. A sextile is an opportunity to see the growth of the sprout. How have you grown since then? What choices have you made that now make sense to keep or discard? A sextile is Venusian in nature. It’s a gentle reminder to wake up and make up your mind. Where are you now going and why? What do you now want and choose and why?

There is a tendency to wait. To wait to live later. I’ll be happy when I get the perfect house. I’ll feel complete when I get the perfect mate. I’ll feel alive and joyful when I get the perfect job. We keep waiting for the circumstances to be perfect. And my question to you is, are they ever perfect? Will you ever get “there”? And the answer is no. Whether you get “there” now or later is not the question. The question is are you living? What are you doing now? Right now without the perfect home, the perfect mate, the perfect job? What about right now? Saturn sextile Pluto is a gentle reminder of the pandemic. For one moment in time, we did not know what would happen next. We faced our mortality as humanity. And in the face of your own mortality, notice what you realized. Time is valuable. Time is all we ever have. And time is running. It starts running out from the moment we are born.

Saturn sextile Pluto is asking us to face ourselves and our lives and ask the tough questions. When am I going to live? When am I going to be happy? Healthy? Joyful? Alive? The answer is always now. Right now. By making the choice to be happy now. To seek health, joy, aliveness…now. Stop waiting for life to be what you want it to be. Start living. Start small. Start finding joy in the life that is here right now. Notice the beauty that surrounds you, and the beauty that you carry within you. Open your eyes to what is here right now. See…really see…the life that is here now. The people. The places. See the goodness and the potential in all beings including yourself.

This week, Saturn sextile Pluto is opening our eyes to what we need to see about our lives, ourselves and the world. Keep your eyes open, your senses awake and keep going. The Universe is asking us to pay attention, notice what comes up for you this week.  Follow me for more Free Astrology on my instagram @anamariapinedacom
