CLOSE BUT YET SO FAR

Mars in Libra forms its last square to Pluto in Capricorn on October 8th. This is a closing square so you could find yourself forced to accept that a longstanding rift simply can’t be mended. It’s frustrating because things were so close. If you’re on the losing side then you will have to get used to the idea that you aren’t going to see the justice you deserve right now. And if you’re on the side of the winners then you would be well-advised to reflect upon the cost of that victory because nothing comes for free when Pluto is involved. It’s hard to leave a dispute unsettled. It’s human nature to seek a solution, but if Pluto has taught us anything it’s that oftentimes the solutions we seek wind up perpetuating the problem if we don’t approach it with fresh eyes. Hopefully Pluto’s stay in Aquarius – an air sign like Libra and thus more agreeable than “by the book” Capricorn – will bring the remedy you desire.
