Take a moment to reflect on what negative or outgrown beliefs you still allow to govern your life and commit to releasing and purging yourself of them. Everything around you is giving you the fresh start you desire. Yet to embrace it fully, you need to clear away all that no longer resonates with your soul.
On Friday, October 20, Mercury in Libra squares off with Pluto in Capricorn, signaling a time to clear away the old, darker and constrictive energies of your past. Mercury, the planet of communication, formed a Cazimi with the Sun in Libra on October 19. Today, while this renewal is still active, it will now activate themes of your past.
The Cazimi is when Mercury passes through the heart of the Sun in Libra, which connects back to the Eclipse on October 14 and will foretell events for the next two years. In any beginning, a clearing needs to be done so you can truly make the most of this divine energy.
Since Pluto first shifted into Aquarius earlier in the year and then back again into Capricorn as part of its retrograde journey, it's giving you a chance to truly purge and release the oppressive feelings that have been binding you in place.
As Pluto moves through its final phase in Capricorn, you are asked to reflect on 2008 and the themes from that time, which are no longer a part of who you are or where you want your life to go. Release the heavy, burdensome thoughts or feelings so that the light of this new cycle will find you and help you manifest the new beginning you've been hoping for.
