Radiant Light
by Lauren Lesko
“If you could get rid of yourself just once the secret of secrets would open to you”
Pluto is that aspect in our psyche that rids ourself of dead or dying aspects of ourself. Pluto is farthest from the light of our consciousness and closest to the core of our primordial instincts, which is why the process of psychological death and rebirth that Pluto promises often feels like it is coming from forces outside ourself and beyond our control, rather than within ourself and actualized by ourself. Pluto, the celestial messenger of mercy, swiftly delivers a death blow to our psyche removing thought patterns and emotional attachments in ways that rarely feel merciful. Under the influence of Pluto we are forced to face our demons and journey into the darkness of our soul and stripped bare of our worldly accomplishments, we stand naked, perhaps for the first time in our life, and witness the awesome powers of our self- creation. The tighter we cling to what Pluto is seeking to destroy the stronger the taste of our bitterness. The lessons of Pluto are hard fought, harder won, and bring to us a calm acceptance and appreciation of ourself as we are. Perhaps the greatest gift of Pluto is to bring the radiant light of our being into consciousness.

Right on the money Lauren ! With Pluto squaring my Sun I can certainly relate ! Keep up the good work!
Hi Larry, Thank you for leaving your thoughts, my heart full to hear from you after my long absence. Pluto is our greatest challenge and never easy but the treasure promised well worth the struggle…… I wish you a bountiful journey to the light!
To date in my life Pluto has conjuncted my (12th house) Sun, my Mercury, my Neptune, my Venus/Saturn cjn, and is about to cj my Mars/NN cj next year. That will leave only Chiron up ahead if I live that long
but I’ve survived thus far, thank Goddess.
Wonderful to hear your wise and compassionate voice again, Lauren. Welcome back to us.
Sweet Sabina, your words a soothing healing to my anguished absence. I hope to be more present in the coming months and know that your kind support encourages me to continue writing. I have had Neptune opposing my natal Mercury and I feel as if I am awakening from a long dream, wiser and kinder, but the earth still shaky. Your spirit and soul precious vessels of Pluto’s wisdom and illumination. There cannot be light without a long journey into the dark and you beautiful spirit of light have traveled long and deep…… do we share a Pluto transit across our natal ascendant…… and I have a natal Venus-Pluto cj tightly square my natal Moon-Mars cj in Scorpio……
