” You can dent the soul and bend it. You can hurt and scar it. You can leave marks of illness upon it, and scorch marks of fear. But it does not die for it is protected by La Loba, the Wild Woman in the underworld.”Clarissa Pinkola Estes

“La Loba is the soul-maker, the wolf raiser, the keeper of things wild.”Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I used to take care of a  young child who loved horses and one of her favorite films was called,”Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken.” She had a strong Pluto in her chart and throughout her young and adolescent life encountered times of very deep loss. When she would come to me tearfully for advice I would remind her of the title of that film and that very often our most significant strengths come from overcoming hardships and loss.  It is also how we become wise, I would tell her. And how we grow to understand more about life.

At the time of Monday’s Full Moon, the Sun is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn opposing the Full Moon in Cancer  indicating that during this time – from now through early next week – painful memories are inclined to surface. It is a good time for the processing or revision of past wounds that are burdensome or  inhibiting future growth. The potential for significant transformation is on the table now.

This will help clear vision of the future.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A Greek muse weighing newborn twins in golden scales.”

“Concepts which have proved useful in ordering things easily acquire such an authority over us that we  forget their human origin and accept them as invariable.” Albert Einstein

“What is important, then, is  not the cultivation of belief or disbelief, but to understand the process of the mind.” Jiddu Krishnamurti

Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication stations retrograde Friday EDT. The chart at  time of the station has Mercury conjunct Saturn and squaring Uranus. The Sun in Capricorn is conjunct Pluto, the Lord of Transformation.

The Saturn/Uranus square -which is associated  with the battle between the old and the new – aligned with  Mercury in the fixed air sign of Aquarius is bringing challenges to the way we think about things and whether there is a need to update  or deepen the thought process or belief system.

Albert Einstein had a Mercury/ Saturn aspect in his natal chart. In his childhood he was regarded as “slow’ and some people with this aspect can be thought of as lacking in intelligence . This is because this is the aspect of deep, not quick thinkers and often in our times speed is valued over depth of thought.

Through early February, it’s best when there are snafus, to slow down, rethink, revision and seek innovative solutions.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”During a silent hour, a woman receives a new inspiration which may change her life.”
