Today the Aries Sun squares Pluto in Capricorn while Mercury in Aries trines Juno retrograding in Sagittarius. A Pluto square threatens your control and power - or someone else's. Your sense of identity, confidence, courage, or the will to act is undermined in some regard. The darker side of your nature may be pushed to the forefront. There's not much we won't do when we feel our survival, positioning, or hold on power is threatened. Today you may get a glimpse of the "tyrant, ruthless operator, or stealthy manipulator within." Or you might encounter it in the form of anyone who's determined to win at all costs. The opportunity) is to clarify what fuels some obsessive/compulsive/mindless/undermining behavior. Today it's possible for the root cause of a personal threat to be clarified. Pluto operates in the dark. It's can be hard to see what's going on.. Suspicions are triggered. But today there's support for clarifying a hidden source of fear or dread, and the ways we avoid confronting the truth. Healing is a possibility if you're willing to initiate a change. It might be time to change your definition of success or winning. Transforming the way you assert your authority might be an issue. It could be time to build a different kind of framework for success or to shift your goals in a direction that feels more comfortably aligned with emerging realities. Mercury's trine to Juno supports a conversation that flows smoothly especially if it relates to upgrading or updating a old contract or agreement that's becoming hard to sustain.
