It’s not a big deal. It never is. Let’s not make it a big deal, please. The sooner we are done with talking about it, thinking about it, paying any attention at all to it, the sooner we can get back to being ‘fine’. Everything is fine. Whatever anyone else thinks, you know it could be worse. You are doing everything you can.

It could be worse but it could…SHOULD be better. What will you do? What MUST you do?

There is a storm within. It rumbles deep – a promise, not a threat. A promise that whether you want to or not, this is all coming out. It may consume you, it may burn you to ashes. It may propel you naked into the light of day. It may be unleashed as rage, chaos, panic. Or make you retreat into the dark – a soul numbing abyss of loneliness and lack of meaning.

You have a choice: keep sitting tight on the lid and hope it is just a passing storm. Praying that no one will notice or that even you can soon enough go back to being ‘fine’.

Or you can, gently begin releasing. Allowing some pressure out. The pressure of spending a lifetime sweating it, trying to contain the uncontainable. Letting it all fester and simmer. Without this flow you are next to dead. A potential danger to yourself and everyone who cares for you. You feel all of the discomfort with none of the relief. Constant pain. You are exerting all your power to not feel, to not live…to not be…whatever it is that BEING it would render you unacceptable.

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and they will come forth, later, in uglier ways.”

-Freud

The ugliness and evil we see around us come from distorted passions. Obsessions, compulsions, rage, addictions, toxicity, self-sabotage, power-plays and all sorts of unhealthy attachment and urges stem from unspoken truths, unexpressed emotions, unutterable losses, unbearable burdens, intolerable poisons. Remaining silent when you want to scream…or screaming but not being heard….Keeping a lid on passion.

Pluto gives the opportunity to CHOOSE your obsession. Choose where you focus your passion. Learn to own it. Learn to transmute.

Pluto is now officially direct. Take responsibility. Use your power to give birth to something that sets the darkest corners of your being alight. Big or small….it makes NO difference. Passion is what brings you here.

Be alive. <3
