Radiant Light
“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.
