19 Days to go – Day XXIII – Beauty is truth



The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun is in Libra on this number eight day of balance and harmony. There are some heavy duty aspects taking place in the skies such as: Mercury opposition to Saturn and Sun square Pluto.

So what does this all mean? Essentially, it means – be on guard! This is not a dire warning but a gentle reminder that these alignments can cause friction, arguments and ego based conflicts. So ground yourself and wear the armour of protection.

One of the most important reasons I admire Pluto is that he “uncovers the truth” (eventually). As a Scorpion woman in middle youth I’ve come to learn (the hard way) that you cannot hide the truth from the Lord of the Underworld. He deconstructs our layers of false-ness that ultimately reveal the truth. In essence, he takes us down to the dark place within ourselves and then offers us a flash light and a bottle of water and tells us to find our way out.

The Grand Master

So why do I continue to praise my Royal consort? He has been such a powerful teacher and he does not tolerate denial. If you embrace the power of Pluto you can be sure to delve deep into the realm of possibilities. He sits silently in the wings while you allow your life to pass by and then asks the question: “so what have you been doing all of your life? Are you living your truth? Or are you hiding behind your habits and addictions? Are you doing the best you can or are you skimming the surface? Dig deep and you’ll find the truth.” And that is what I do!

Eventually, I’ve found the courage to excavate the superfluous to uncover the truth. John Keats reminds us, “Beauty is truth, truth is beauty – that is all ye know on Earth and all you need to know.”

In search of the truth

It is day 23 of the six week journey to find the truth. I’ve passed the half-way mark this week and feeling good about my efforts. I’ve overcome many temptations and held on to my mantra for a healthy lifestyle. I feel good and proud.

The world offers completion and richness to my spread. The Star is beautiful – a picture of innocence – Aphrodite in all her glory. The Moon glimmers with beams of creativity and optimism in her Sagittarian phase. Peeling back the layers of my vulnerability have uncovered the truth – life is beautiful – enjoy your day!

Peace and Love,
