Today is a day for deep self-reex­am­i­na­tion. With the Sun rul­ing the self and Plu­to rul­ing the deep­er process­es of our psy­cho-spir­i­tu­al nature, you can use this day to probe more deeply into the roots of your being. Most impor­tant­ly, you will be able to estab­lish a new under­stand­ing about the nature of your most pre­cious gift, your free will.

Back in Sep­tem­ber you faced a choice about the prop­er exer­cise of your willpow­er. Now, at the con­junc­tion (like a new Moon), you are at the begin­ning of a new cycle in the rela­tion­ship of the self and your will. What you need to remem­ber is that one of the most won­der­ful gifts of being human is the qual­i­ty we call “free will”.

The pri­ma­ry lim­i­ta­tion to your exer­cise and expe­ri­ence of free will is knowl­edge. The more igno­rant you are about your self or the world around you, to that same degree your life will hap­pen to you, your life will be “fat­ed”. Con­verse­ly, the more you know of your­self and the world around you, the more you can under­stand and exer­cise free will in your life. This has always been one of the most mean­ing­ful ways to mea­sure spir­i­tu­al devel­op­ment, that is, are you a more fatal­is­tic spir­it or free spir­it. The pow­er to choose, and to choose wise­ly, is our most pre­cious spir­i­tu­al accomplishment.

This re-align­ment of the self with the will requires that you explore the deep­est recess­es of your nature; what is at the core of what makes you spe­cial, dif­fer­ent, yet part of a great sto­ry of spir­i­tu­al evo­lu­tion. Your life now is mere­ly the lat­est in a series of lives. You stand upon this core of evolved spir­i­tu­al progress. Take time now to look with­in and acknowl­edge the gift of your spe­cial self to yourself.

The Pluto/Sun con­junc­tion is an oppor­tu­ni­ty to estab­lish a new rela­tion­ship of the self to the self. You should take this time to con­nect more deeply with your will, the pow­er of right choice, which is one of the three true sources of your spir­i­tu­al progress. The three aspects of Spir­it, which are Intel­li­gence, Love and Will, have com­bined togeth­er to bring about our universe.

Like­wise, with­in your own life, they con­tin­ue to help you on your jour­ney from unself-con­scious sparks of the divine towards your glo­ri­ous des­tiny as a ful­ly con­scious divine being. So, at this time, take anoth­er step along the path to ful­fill­ment, towards self-real­iza­tion, to your des­tiny which is to be a star among the stars. So be it.
