When Pluto approaches the natal Moon. It is a time that brings soul growth.
It has been a little while.
How is everyone doing?
Today's article is not in the form of a "One Oracle for Today" post.
While there are insights using Tarot, today's focus is a bit more on astrology.
Please be aware of that.
The reason is that lately, I have been going through a somewhat mentally difficult situation myself.
There are several causes.
☁️Cloudiness in my own thinking
☁️The gap between what I truly want to do and reality
☁️Conflicts with my husband
These are the main ones, and all of this is the influence of the "Pluto retrograde in Aquarius."
My Moon sign is Aquarius.
There is a part of me that tends to want to help with reform because I can see ways that "if the other person changes, they will be saved, and they will feel more at ease," such as "exhausting my words for the sake of others" or "wanting to save them even if it means delivering a logical argument."
if the other person changes, they will be saved, and they will feel more at easemethods.
Pluto is cutting in sharply there, asking,
"Is that way of doing things really for the other person's benefit? Is it a way that the other person will appreciate?"
Because that Pluto is in retrograde, it is in a state where it is acting strongly
on my inner self.
It is quite rare for Pluto to conjunct (overlap) with the natal Moon.
In the first place, compared to other celestial bodies, Pluto is a planet that takes a very long time, about 20 years (around 14 to 25 years), to move through one sign.
In one's lifetime,there are even people who never experience a natal Moon-Pluto conjunctionlevel.
When Pluto approaches the natal Moon, numerous changes visit both the mental aspect and daily life.
You might suddenly feel anxious, wondering, "Is it okay for me to stay like this?" or want to change your environment, thinking, "This might not be where I belong."
Emotions are also brought to the surface all at once, and sometimes human relationships are completely renewed.
It is not uncommon for it to become a major turning point in life.
However, this is alla transformation for the better.
Since Pluto is a planet that brings "destruction and rebirth," rebirth always awaits after destruction.
It is painful during the destruction, but Pluto always provides transformation with love.
There is no need to despair; if you face it firmly and move forward, an end will surely come.
Moving toward the hope of rebirth becomes a major step up for yourself.
Now, such Pluto was moving back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius from 2023 to 2024.
Around this time, I became interested in astrology while working as a full-time employee in the field of education.
From the sense of discomfort that "something is different," I wanted to dive into the world of stars.
Pluto, which entered Aquarius in earnest on November 20, 2024, brought about a transformation to the outer world.
For me, too, it is the full-scale start of the Age of Wind.
Such Pluto went retrograde from May 5, 2025, and began to act on my own inner self.
Around this time, I began to put more effort into Tarot than ever before.
It was also in May that I started posting on note.
My Tarot is a Tarot of self-growth and healing, aimed at facing one's own inner self.
My sensitivity for self-reflection and looking inward opened up much more than before.
Up to this point, you can see the movements of the heart that are quite linked to the movements of Pluto, right?
This was not because I was consciously acting with the movements of the stars in mind, but it happened naturally.
This Pluto retrograde in Aquarius will continue until October.
For the next 3 to 4 months, I will be intently looking at, deciphering, accepting, and sublimating my own emotions.
It seems like I will be spending such a summer.
However, it is still painful, after all.
I spend my days thinking, "There is evolution ahead of this," but there are days of vague anxiety and conflict with my partner.
It is quite taxing.
When I asked the Tarot, "How should I overcome this Pluto in Aquarius period?", the card that came out face up while I was cutting the cards was the "Queen of Cups."
This card has meanings such ascompassion, thoughtfulness, motherhood, and service.
These are the things I need to overcome the Pluto in Aquarius period.
Reflecting on myself, I had the realization that "the direction of my thoughtfulness might have been too forceful."
I realized that I had been pushing too hard the idea that "you should do this because it will get better."
It is exactly the "thinking it's for the best" of the Aquarius Moon.
However, I realized that what I should be acquiring now is not the "power to lead to reform," but"trusting the other person, watching over them, and creating space.".
My husband's natal Sun sign is Virgo in the 12th house.
When the Sun sign is in the 12th house, one may struggle to put their thoughts and feelings into words.
They feel things so deeply that they don't know how to express them.
Of course, other celestial bodies are involved, so I cannot say for certain that they are absolutely bad at it.
I am also a Sagittarius Sun in the 12th house, but thanks to my Mercury and Pluto in Scorpio in the 11th house, I am skilled at pursuing things deeply and conveying what I feel to others.
My husband is very bad at conveying his thoughts and feelings.
However, since I generally understand his feelings and what he is thinking, I often end up speaking for him.
Because of that kind of relationship, when I watch my husband, I often get impatient and try to guide him.
At that point, I am not trusting him, am I?
He surely has his own strength to overcome things on his own, and perhaps he is just clumsy because he thinks too much and cannot quite master that strength yet.
The Queen of Cups taught me that I need to believe in that, watch over him from the sidelines, and give him a sense of security and space by saying, 'It's okay to take your time.'
Since I am equipped with the power to guide, now is the time to cultivate trust and space.
I should make that trust and space my priority, and only guide him when he is lost and cannot find his way out.
Realizing this is, in itself, growth.
I felt that Pluto had once again made me thoroughly rethink my perspective.
In fact, as I write this article now, my thoughts are becoming increasingly clear.
It is a sensation of my mind being organized and cleared, and my heart feeling lighter.
Putting my own conflicts, realizations, and the transformation that follows into words.
This flow seems to be very well-suited for me.
Today, I gained insights from the Tarot and the stars once again.
May my realizations someday become realizations or healing for someone else.
