Sun trine Pluto: Power and Grace

Today is a powerful day, as the radiant Sun, located in the first half of the sign of Virgo, forms an exact trine with Pluto in Capricorn. The sign of Virgo is very much concerned with purity and service, and with the process of refining all that it puts its hand to. This sign of the fall period represents also the harvest. That which grew and flourished in the summer months, must be gathered, catalogued and checked for quality, and all of this happens in service to others as they rely on the harvest for nourishment. The Sun in flowing aspect to fierce Pluto brings this archetype of transformation to the fore, on a societal and also a personal level. It might be time for long-held traditions and goals to morph and twist around to face the challenging requirements of a new century. For the brief period of a day or two that this transit is in effect, you may experience a peak urge to organize and clarify. This could happen outside yourself or on a strictly internal level, as thoughts and beliefs transform themselves, ultimately affecting all that you say and do, financial, business interactions, relationships. An opportunity lies here, as you go about your fine-tuning and honing in; you can retain that which serves you, and transform that which no longer does, for the benefit of your own sense of personal power and authenticity. Perhaps musician Jewel put it best: "I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time."
