Pluto has been retrograde since March 26, 2005. It is a time of release of control. It may become apparent that there is a profound need for deep, transformational change. A release of issues that surface on September 2, 2005 are intense and embedded with strong psychological roots.

Being aware of deep psychological patterns may allow for the willingness to change. Hidden fears come to the surface. The pressure is turned up and a need to overcome obstacles comes from driven resources. A deep emotional or psychological burn is felt. Dealings with insurance issues and brokers may surface. Matters feel and may very well be completely out or your control. There is a need to dispose of waste and create both a clear space and a clean pallet.

It is a time to let go of outworn behaviors that prevent you from succeeding with your goals. The very struggle for survival creates a new way of life. Processes that involve shared resources, mortgages, insurance and estates are involved here. Announcements of pregnancy or deaths in the family may take place. Fear of abandonment or addressing the absence of support in one's life may be felt, together with the desire to deepen one's personal relationships and enter into long-term commitments.

Often, change occurs with great resistance and a torturous hold to the past. Be aware of this, and let go!
