Step Back From Power Struggles

Posted by Eric F Coppolino

Remember this? Last year's NASA New Horizons image of Pluto.

Mars has been big news all year, as it went through its retrograde in Scorpio and Sagittarius. Now Mars is well beyond those signs, in mid-Capricorn, and it’s about to meet up with Pluto — the longtime dweller and agent of change. Eric writes that this may encourage some people around you to go on a wee power trip.

It was a crazy week last week, we all agree, and the Full Moon that was driving your local frenzy has passed by. The Moon is in cooler, calmer Taurus as we begin the week.

There is approaching an aspect of some genuine influence: Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn.

Mars has been big news all year, as it went through its retrograde in Scorpio and Sagittarius. Now Mars is well beyond those signs, in mid-Capricorn, and it’s about to meet up with Pluto — the longtime dweller and agent of change.

The first thing you need to know about this is that some people around you are likely to pick up on it as license to be a control freak. These people are always lurking in the shadows looking for an opportunity to exercise their skills, and this is the week to avoid them. I am tempted to say “at any cost,” and it would be worth some effort to spot them in advance and step out of their way; not engage them; acknowledge them minimally if at all.

Apply this idea to everyone: higher-ups, colleagues and people who report to you; to partners, parents and children. For the purposes of this aspect they are all the same. The moment you detect a control drama, or the invitation into one, turn on your anti-magnetism and move in another direction.

This is not the week to be a spiritual teacher to creeps. What makes them creeps is that they don’t care. You could easily slip into a controversy by taking the enlightened role and trying to spread good vibes. You might save your love and light for those who appreciate you.

    Feel the Love! We are creative beings and wherever we put our awareness is especially important this week. Ignore the hucksters while this cosmic weather offers evolution. Look for the highest potential in Mars/Pluto and have compassion for our own fears and those projected on the big screen. Dance, sing, be silent, cook delicious food, and be gentle with that feeling in your belly. I know I’m not the only one feeling this.
    Eric, the message in your post is super powerful, make it loud, hammer it home, pedal to the metal, and turn it up to 11!
    Peace,
    T

    Boy oh boy did I feel the energy this weekend. I decided to hunker down for the weekend! I’m happy the moon has returned to my sun sign and felt the edge leave late this evening. Thanks for the heads up on the power trip peeps. I feel one in my presence as I type. I will heed your warning.
