Pluto at 29° - BitchScopes for Feb 6-13

How was that full moon for you bitches? There were definitely some dramatic events, both globally and personally. A couple of those 29° aspects from last week hit me in the personal parts of my chart. And we have a couple more this week. On Friday, Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 29° of Capricorn. Personally this can lead to some profound inner discoveries, as this is a very psychological conjunction. Globally, I would not be at all surprised if one of the global “leaders” says something “intense” (or stupid, or incendiary). “Intense” is the best word to describe that transit.
Last week I said watch what happens between February 11th and March 23rd, because Pluto will be at 29° of Capricorn that whole time. Capricorn represents the patriarchy, the old world leaders, the conservative parties, dictators, fascism, and corporations. Corporate greed and unchecked Capitalism are out of control, and I think we are going to see a showdown of the old and the new. It has been coming. It has been brewing. It will happen…will it be during this window? Something big will happen, that I’m sure of.

As we struggle through the last gasps of the old ways of Capricorn (and no shade to Capricorns themselves. I identify as one in many ways and we can’t help it if we are great leaders and no one else wants to challenge us because we are intimidating and awesome *smirk*), we are going to see a lot of pouting and stomping and well…more of what we’ve been seeing from Republicans in the US for the last few years. I think they are going to be even more obnoxious in the coming few weeks. Watch what Marjorie Taylor Green, Kevin McCarthy, and the other Trump Circus clowns say on their twitter accounts. Or don’t. Spare yourself the horror and watch something good on TV. But anyway, 29° of Capricorn cometh.

After that shit show, the early degrees of Pluto in Aquarius are likely to be equally obnoxious in an opposite way. And again, Aquarius can’t help it if they are visionary geniuses and no one else really gets them…greatness is a burden, man. *wink* (If you’re new here, I am a 0° Aquarius with a Capricorn Stellium of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, & the North Node, so I’m *probably* joking about my greatness.)

One last Pluto note - Pluto and Chaos will form a 29° quincunx next Monday. Chaos represents unlimited potential, as well as finding strength in your greatest challenge. A quincunx is a really awkward standoff that will require an adjustment. In the chart for the USA, Pluto is transiting the 2nd house of values, what we value, what provides security, and money, and Chaos is transiting our 7th house of partnerships and agreements. Corporate America has an awakening coming. They can keep tossing around the word “woke” like it's a joke, but under-valuing the contribution to the economy by the human beings doing the heavy lifting  is not going to be an option in the Age of Aquarius. I really think Unions are going to have a big resurgence and fair wages and wage equality are going to be common phrases.

But back to this week…it looks to be a bit sensitive and a little touchy, but very tuned in. Mercury sextile Neptune on Monday is dreamy and intuitive, and maybe a little blind to some realities. But dreaminess aside, we will be able to read each other better this week, and have a better awareness of what is going on in our own heads and hearts. Mercury exits the shadow phase on Tuesday and enters Aquarius on Saturday. We can approach our wounds, issues, and healing processes with a little bit of detachment. It's a good week to start or dig into therapy. Venus sextile Uranus is a fun transit for dating and social activities. It’s exciting, spontaneous and progressive. Juno and Chiron are conjunct this week so that offers some relationship healing, which might be a great thing after all that shit last week! Watch what you say and how you say it, particularly with your partner this week. Best way to use this energy is to focus on yourself. Obviously you have to interact with the people you love and live with. But this week’s energy is great for self discovery and growth. Next week the Sun and moon are in Pisces, where we are more likely to feel (all) other people, so enjoy the aloof detachment if that’s your thing *raises both hands*.

ARIES - Most of the activity in your chart at the moment is happening in the area of “social expression”, which is the 10th, 11th and 12th houses. That 29th degree of Capricorn I keep blathering about will happen in your 10th house and this could create a bit of a crisis with career. Now before you go running down the hall to print your resume - this crisis could be internal. You might suddenly feel really antsy and anxious and paranoid, but try to keep a grip. With Mercury in Aquarius, your social connections will help you, whether it is to talk you out of a story you’ve told yourself or to provide you with networking opportunities. Aquarius is a more detached energy too, so that will help soften the Capricorn energy that wants to dig down and solve all the things right fucking now! Saturn in your sign is making you feel a bit more serious about everything, but try not to fear Pluto. Venus will be moving through your 12th house while it's in Pisces. This is the territory of secret love affairs, although, that won’t be true for most of you. Some of you might suddenly feel more shy, or want to delete your dating app in favor of reading steamy romance novels that tap into a private desire you have. (You know that noise that the kids made in grade school when the lights got turned off for the movie…”Oooooooooooooooo”. I just made that noise when I typed that last sentence)


TAURUS - You might be starting to feel a bit of a crisis of faith. That would be Pluto at 29° in your 9th house. This will continue for a while and you need to give yourself permission to feel your feelings and explore new options. I think Mercury in Aquarius will help, because it will make things feel less personal for a bit. The combination of Mercury in a visionary sign and Pluto in your 9th house could stimulate a major intellectual or mental breakthrough for you, and/or propel you to the next level of your career. You will have the fire to learn and discover and you might strike gold! Venus will be transiting your 11th house, so if you’re single, you might meet someone through a friend or at a social meeting of some kind. This is a great placement for your social life in general, and you should start to feel closer to your friends group. In fact, this is the kind of transit where friends can become lovers in some cases.


GEMINI - Pluto will be creating a hot spot in your 8th house of intimacy and other people’s “stuff”. You might experience a deepening of your current intimate relationship which transforms it on some level. I know when people hear “transform”, there is a notion of fear, but that is not usually something to be afraid of. Maybe use the word “Make over” instead. If I say “Your soul’s personal power is going to get a makeover for and because of your partner”, how does that feel? At any rate, that’s going to be happening now through March. I think it's no coincidence that while your power center is at its rejuvenation retreat, your mind starts to think of career in a new and elevated way. With Venus in Pisces transiting your 10th house, your creative energy is boosted, and you have a magnetic and charismatic presence so all kinds of people are likely to be impressed by you.


CANCER - There’s an interesting mix of obsessed and unattached going on in the social part of your chart. That 29th degree of Capricorn I keep blathering about will happen in your 7th house and this could create a bit of a crisis with relationship. Now before you stop reading and throw your phone across the room, chill. Here are some ways this *could* play out - you become obsessed with your partner or about having one, you go through a period of jealousy and possessiveness, you desire security in a way that seems urgent, your passions for each other are re-ignited, or… they just get on your nerves for several weeks. Some intensity in relationships is likely and…it will resolve. Also, with Venus transiting your 9th house, you might develop an urge for exotic things or experiences, a desire to travel more, or decide you want some of that Sagittarian freedom and time apart or time alone.


LEO - Pluto will be creating a hot spot in your 6th house of habits, routine, and wellness. That 29th degree of Capricorn might light a fire under you to finally start doing yoga, juicing, quit smoking or (insert health related habit here). You might suddenly find you have an ache or pain that simply will not go away and decide to suck it up and see the Dr. about it. You might also become suddenly obsessed with a diet or exercise regime (side note: diet culture is dangerous. Just a reminder.). There is strong potential for a final healing outcome here too. And because the 6th house also rules day to day work too, there might be some changes in what tasks (or clients) are assigned to you. With Mercury moving from serious Capricorn in your 6th house to detached Aquarius in your 7th, you might be aloof with your relationship partner for a few weeks. You could desire more space and freedom. Or you might become more stubborn. But there is good news - with Venus transiting your 8th house, you are in a good place to receive money, and also great, connected sex.



VIRGO - So…Pluto will be sitting at 29° Capricorn from this week until March 23rd. That happens to be in your 5th house. If you are trying to get pregnant, or you are exploring fertility options, this period of time is very strong. (Your personal natal chart may have other information, so put away the turkey baster until you have your head on straight.) If your Uterus is not open for business, you might still reap some great benefits from creative endeavors right now. And then as Mercury shifts from Cap to Aquarius, you can parlay that creative energy into super good job juju. Pluto’s energy in that 5th house might also feel like an urgent need to have more fun and experience more of life. Venus in Pisces transits your 7th house, giving you some really sweet, dreamy, connected relationship vibes for a few weeks.


LIBRA - Most of the activity in your chart at the moment is happening in the area of “personal expression”, which is the 4th, 5th and 6th houses. That 29th degree of Capricorn I keep blathering about will happen in your 4th house and this could create a feeling of urgency regarding home and/or family. There could be power struggles within the family or with someone about your physical house (like remodeling issues). This Pluto energy can also create obsession,possessiveness, and passionate protective urges as well. This is a good placement for therapy about your upbringing, as Pluto will not let you fool yourself about where you came from. As Mercury migrates into Aquarius in your 5th house, your creative energy can really get kicked up. Venus in Pisces will transit your 6th house, making you charming and impressive at work.


SCORPIO - Pluto at 29° can create a crisis of communication for you. The 3rd house also rules mental activity and thoughts, so you might find yourself with some anxiety (also a Mercury thing) and obsessive thought patterns. In some cases, you might want to seek some therapy for some tools to cope with it, depending on what kind of thought loop you are stuck in. Your way of communicating may undergo a change as well. The good news is that as Mercury moves from Capricorn into Aquarius, it also moves into the 4th house, and this will give you great diplomatic and problem solving skills, and this will help to offset that Plutonian intensity a bit. Venus in Pisces will transit your 5th house of fun and romance, so if you are single, get out there and mingle. But protect yourself from pregnancy if you’re not ready for one, because Pisces might make you um…dick blind. Just sayin.


SAGITTARIUS - With Pluto burning a hole at 29° in your 2nd house, making money might become an area of extreme focus for you. Be careful with your work life balance in pursuit of money. You might feel stingy about money during this time, and that’s ok. It is a great time to save money because interest rates are high. Since Capricorn rules this area of your chart all the time, you are probably pretty serious about money anyway (although sometimes unrealistic about it due to your Sagittarian optimism), but Pluto will tell you the truth. Mercury will move into Aquarius and its natural habitat - the 3rd house. Your focus and thinking will be good during this time. Venus in Pisces will transit your 4th house, so if you have the desire and ability, its a great time for a home make over of some kind. If all your money is tied up in savings, just move your stuff around and look into Feng Shui to change the energy of your rooms.


CAPRICORN - You’ve been undergoing a pretty intense transformation of self for a long time now. Pluto at 29° might look like an urgent desire to find and keep your personal power, and have more control over…everything. You might feel more ragey during this time, or easily triggered into a temper tantrum, so keep a conscious handle on how you react to input. You are more likely to be pretty serious and maybe even dark (not necessarily depressed) during this time. Wow, you sound fun at parties. Heehee. The good news is that when Mercury moves into Aquarius, it activates your money house, which can cheer up even the pissiest of Capricorns. And Venus in Pisces will transit your 3rd house which can really help offset that “hold my earrings” angry vibe from Pluto. Venus in this position will not love conflict, and you will also have a bit of a silver tongue and a way with words, so I think you’ll stay out of jail.


AQUARIUS - Pluto at 29° will be burning a hole in your 12th house. This is the house of secrets and Karma and isn’t a party house. But I think this Pluto situation could really be doing you a big favor. To me, this feels like Pluto burning off the old karma the way a farmer burns leaves. You’ve gone through a whole lotta shit for a few years now, and part of that experience is karmic. This is the final bonfire and somewhere your ancestors are like “Yeah! Throw that stupid family pattern on the pyre! Burn that inherited guilt! Woohoo!” When Pluto moves into Aquarius, you’re in for a pretty significant transformation of yourself for the next 20 years! Your personal power will increase, your sense of control over your life will improve, and how people perceive you will shift in a good way! More good news - Venus in Pisces will transit your 2nd house. Venus is great here, offering charm around money matters. Pisces might blind you a little about the truth of your finances, so be careful with your shopping for a few weeks. But if you make money in the arts, this will be a great transit for you in particular.


PISCES - Your whole life, friendships may have been difficult for you in some way. Maybe they have always tested you, or you always seem to have jealous friends, or feel left out. You’ve had Pluto in Capricorn in your 11th house for a long time. Capricorn here makes friendships a little difficult and serious for you anyway. But things are about to get lighter in this area when Pluto moves into Aquarius. But first, you might have a bit of a friend crisis. Pluto at 29° in your 11th house might ignite an obsession with your dreams, and you might be able to finally make some of them a reality at this time. But you must be careful of suffocating your dreams. Don’t put your beautiful bird into a Plutonian cage and scream “sing!” at it. If your friendships start to feel chafe-y, examine the overall health of the friendship and see if its worth the struggle. The really good news though, is that Venus is moving into your sign (along with the Sun and the moon next week!) and you’re going to be one beautiful and charming magician! Go get em, tiger…er…fishy!

BitchScopes for Jan 30-Feb 6, 2023 - Full Moon in Leo!

Hello Glittery Bitches (aka “Glitches”? Ok sure) Hey Glitches! I’m back. I took last week off to celebrate my 50th birthday, and it was great. But here we are, creeping into February already!

We start this week off with a no pants day. if you’re new here, that means a day with no major transits. But look, every natal chart is going to have activity that is different and more personal than planet to planet transits, and pants suck no matter what so bitch, you go pantsless whenever you want!

I noticed something on Tuesday and Saturday - There are a bunch of transits at 11° and 29°. If you’re a numerology nerd, you can make of that whatever you wish. In astrology 29° is called the “anaretic” and it is an indication of urgency and restlessness. When you see 29° in a natal chart it is particularly interesting as it pertains to the person’s personality and the way they operate in the world. When I see it in the transits, I definitely take note. When one of the slower planets hits 29°, they will often sit there for days or weeks and that kind of slow burn can definitely make you feel some kinda way!

Pluto has been dancing around the 29th degree for several months. Watch what happens in the world, particularly the United States, which is having a Pluto return, between February 11th and March 23rd. That is when Pluto will be in 29° of Capricorn and he pops into Aquarius on March 23rd. When Mars did this in 2021, he danced around the last degree for a long time, retrograded, danced around it again, and when he finally popped into the 0° of the next sign, the insurrection happened. Pluto is the planet of transformation, which can be painful and ugly (see: United States since 2016).

So anyway back to this week - there are several transits Tuesday at 11° and 29°, and again on Saturday, there are a few more 11° transits. There is no specific meaning for 11°, astrologically speaking, that I’m aware of. But 11 is a master number in numerology, the number of manifesting and making things happen. Aquarius is the 11th sign and Aquarius is about dreams, goals, humanity, and the future.

Tuesday - Sun Quincunx Pallas is about being a reluctant leader, or feeling like reaching your vision is particularly challenging. The Sun square Chiron is about insecurity related to our wounds; trying to bypass our wounds to achieve things rather than going through them and doing the hard healing.

Then, still on Tuesday -  we have Venus making some 29° transits to Lilith and Chaos. This is some straight up rebellion, anger, passion and boundary pushing. You will not back down, and you should be aware that this kind of stubbornness can be detrimental at this time. You are at peak potential for a breakthrough, so find where you feel the weakest and realize that’s also where you are the strongest. I would suggest some manifesting exercises on this day to push through all of this powerful and deep energy.

Saturday we have Venus, Pallas, Mars and Juno all dancing with each other at 11°. This is all great relationship manifesting energy. If you’re doing work on attracting a partner, or anything regarding your personal relationships, this is a good day to do it!

The Sun squares Uranus this week - that’s a pretty classic “expect the unexpected” kind of energy. Be flexible and stay light on your metaphorical feet. Measure the potential cost of any rebellion you start.

 

 The big deal this week is the Leo Full Moon,  and it is bold AF, and leading from the heart! Uranus influences this moon, so changes can be sudden. Full moons usually illuminate things that we didn’t see before, and when you add Uranus, it can spark forward movement very quickly. Leo wants us to claim more joy in our lives and feel pride in who we are and where we are. Lift your chin up. Sit or stand up straight. Look in that mirror and go “damn I’m fucking beautiful” “Holy shit I’m fucking amazing” I mean you can certainly leave out the F-bomb if it isn’t your thing but it feels real good to have that kind of energy behind an affirmation.

Full moons are also great for releasing things. Consider releasing the ways you keep yourself small or deny yourself joy.

So the individual horoscopes will focus on where this full moon hits your charts and how you can utilize it to step into your future and more of your authentic self. Cheers to that!

********************************
ARIES - Naturally, Leo falls in your 5th house where he’s right at home being the center of attention and romancing the passers-by. With a full moon here (and influenced by Uranus) you might become aware of something good that you’re missing, or get hit with a case of FOMO (fear of missing out). If you have been keeping your true desires locked up, they might pop out now. You might get unexpected news (or feelings) from a child or a romantic partner. You might have an unexpected romantic experience, or complete some creative project that you’ve been working on. This is definitely a call to action for you to embrace more joy.


TAURUS - This full moon shines a light on your 4th house of home and family. Not gonna lie, there could be a bit of drama with a family member with this moon. A move or home change might feel completed during this time. The need for security and the needs of family might become more of a focus for you. This is a good time to release any family ties that are unhealthy or broken, to surrender any unhealthy family patterns for healing, to let go of feelings of guilt around being happy (that last bit could hit deep. You’d be shocked at how much we collectively feel we do not deserve joy and how much we project it on to others!) Maybe you’ll get a wild hair to paint your room…follow that urge.


GEMINI - This moon hits your 3rd house of communication. With a Leo moon, this could be dramatic. Secrets can come out. Gossip might be rampant. News can be jarring, especially with Uranus in the mix. There could be neighborhood “tea”, or some change in your local environment. A sibling might surprise you with some kind of news. And don’t overlook social media and the internet as a major potential source of drama. It might be a good idea to change your important passwords.


CANCER - This moon shines a light into your bank account and your budget. You might intentionally be assessing your budget this time of year anyway. You also might go ahead with a purchase you’ve been planning and saving for around this time. Or you might complete a payment plan of some sort. A good focus for releasing under this moon would be any guilt you feel about money, and maybe an intention to release/complete debt or family patterns around debt. If you have any extra money, Leo would love for you to do something fun!


LEO - Well Happy Full Moon to you. Meow! Obviously this full moon lights up your first house and puts you in the spotlight where you’re perfectly happy to be. You can have sudden insights about yourself during this time, and your path may suddenly feel more illuminated. Because Uranus is involved, it is hard to predict anything other than, it will be unexpected. You can start to see progress on any goals you are working on. For you, a great releasing ceremony would be a small fire where you can release anything that you feel is holding you back, and mostly that is going to be yourself. What habits and beliefs do you have that keep you small? Let that shit go!


VIRGO - This full moon hits your 12th house, which is pretty shadowy most of the time. Secrets can definitely come out with this placement. Dreams can be informative and vivid during this time. It is a great time for therapy, as the 12th house rules memories and the unconscious mind, as well as Karmic patterns. Fears you have worked on or pushed down might pop up to say hello as well. If you do any kind of releasing ceremony, it might be good to release family patterns, karmic debt, family trauma, as well as ways that isolate you from your true self and others. So yeah, light and fluffy as a marshmallow babe!


LIBRA - This full moon lights up your 11th house, which could bring you all kinds of good stuff - the realization of goals, the fruition of your hard work, the audience you’ve been needing. New opportunities can show up as a result of this moon so pay attention to the next couple of weeks. There could be some drama among your friend groups or associates, and there may be some shifts or falling out in this way. Truths will come out so if a friend is being shady, you’re likely to find out about it now.


SCORPIO - This moon in your 10th house of career and public image might put you in the spotlight, make you popular or acknowledge your work, and on the flip side, a job or connection could end. It would be unexpected, and the end of a job is not going to happen to every Scorpio. If it does, try to bear in mind that something better is coming. These path adjustments are sometimes difficult. You may also have your own realization about your career path and set out to make the changes yourself.


SAGITTARIUS - This full moon lands in your “hometown” 9th house of experiences and adventures. This lunation can be really good for you in terms of helping you find your next right step forward because you can be a bit waffle-y about committing to the next step. You might suddenly find some insight about a goal or a belief that you hold. This moon can help you get into alignment with your long term goals and give you the inspiration you need to move toward them.


CAPRICORN - This moon shines a light into your 8th house closet of other people’s stuff and things you might be trying to avoid. Debt and taxes are ruled by the 8th house, so you might suddenly find the motivation to get those things handled, or you might get your cage rattled from the bank. On the psychological side of things, you might be assessing the give and take of your current partnership, or some aspect of your intimate life. Other people’s secrets that affect us can come out around this time too. Projects you have with other people can be completed or gain momentum now. And finally…this is a Leo full moon and the Leo 5th house rules offspring; The 8th house rules sex, so…if you’re not trying to be pregnant, be real careful!


AQUARIUS - This full moon lands in your 7th house of partnerships. Leo is pretty romantic, so depending on your personal chart, things can be taken to the next level in a love relationship. Leo rules creativity as well, so business partnerships that lean into the creative side of things can also get a big boost. You might be assessing your contractual agreements, both business and personal, at this time, and full moons tend to bring truth into the open. So if something has been hidden from you, it’s likely to be caught out now and you’ll have what you need to move forward.


PISCES - This moon hits your 6th house of health and routine. Leo is very creative, so you may need to add some fun, joy, and play into your every day routine. That could be something simple like a hype song you listen to on the way to work, or it could be working on your writing or painting skills on a regular basis. If you work in theater or entertainment,this moon is going to be really hot and fantastic for you. Opportunities can show up. You might also become aware of a new health issue. Make sure you act on whatever information you receive.

Bitch on Break - just the highlights

Here’s this weeks major transits (according to moI). BitchScopes will be back next week in all their glory 😉🖤 

Here we are in Aquarius season, and it’s not a typical one.  We entered Aquarius on Friday, Saturday we had a new moon in Aquarius at 1°, and Monday Aquarius’ ruler Uranus goes direct. 

There’s a wave of fresh energy coming and ushering in a new era (the Age of Aquarius) one tiny step at a time.
