Reflecting on a solar retun

Yeah , fancy way of saying it's my birthday! 
Why should we care.  For me a solar return is a person's personal New Years Day.  Much more significant than January 1st.  It is the renewal of our solar energy, our very center, core self that we carry forth in the world.

What's the skyward perspective for this time?  Emotional intensity, processing and renewal.  The moon opposes pluto in cancer/capricorn.  These planets indicate an awareness, a flowering - possibly not the most gentle-  of deep emotions.  The signs- Cancer and Capricorn are significators of emotional and general development and processes.  So we can see that it's time to generate some deep changes in our emotional body (even moreso if you are born in the surrounding days).  Pluto searches deeply for what is old, outworn and in need of improvement in order for the soul to manifest itself.  The moon is contact and experience at it's most personal, our inner core.

At this time awareness may come to you that something needs changing at a personal level and there will be the ability to recognize and act. At the same time the mind is very stimulated and open to new ideas and even higher aspects of Universal truths and Love.  It's an exciting time! However, addressing the restless connection between the mind and feelings will bring the best outcomes. 

Indications are that the deep personal self/emotions should be brought out, manifested but in a particular way that allows for greater self awareness, control and authority over the overall conditions of daily life.  Mental scrutiny of bubbling feelings should be with a neutral and compasionate mind.  Deeper truth and spirituality can be accessed, particularly through means of daily practice and devotion to these practices.  Yoga, meditation, tai chi and other systems - innovate!-  that allow more connecting the body-mind are particularly well suited now with good results.  Overall it means bringing the calm focused mind to bear on the authenticity of our inner feelings,  seeing them truthfully without judgement and improving ones ability to function as the voice of our own inner authority.

This applies to many facets of daily life from money worries, relationship doubts, issues of self worth, social obligations and more.  Stick with your routines that don't seem connected to money issues or love life concerns.  Keep up dedication to your meditation, your fitness routine,  or self reflecting in a journal as well as any of the above mentioned possibilities and the other issues will flow easier.  Answers will come to you clearer by taking a swim at the Y or repeating a mantra each morning than by focusing on the problem like it's a brick wall to be plowed through.
Best regards for the upcoming weekend.
