Pluto went direct right as a cold front came in. I crashed and slept hard.
I woke up around 6am with my root chakra very intensely pulling. I wondered briefly about it and then my second chakra started to light up. I heard my guide say, “Dec 21”. I asked, “Why does everything happen in December?” (Dec 2014 = intense heart opening).
I returned to sleep and fell into an interesting dream.
Dream
I was riding a motorcycle (individual path) down a familiar road. I realized that I should have turned left back behind me, so I turned around (course correction). I remember feeling like I was wearing something heavy and my feet not being on the foot pedals and worrying I would not be able to brake in time. I then remembered the brake was on the handlebars. I slowed and stopped with some others on motorcycles. I wondered if we would all ride together in a little pack, like in formation. The others began to move, turning right (intuition, the feminine). I followed.
When I arrived at the destination it resembled a large theater with row after row of hundreds of seats. The others began to sit down, so I did, too. This is when I got a glimpse of myself and the others. We looked almost skeletal with very pale or white skin. We were very tall, at least 7ft, and had longer arms than what would be proportional to our height. Our hands were similarly long and very boney in appearance. I struggle to remember what our faces looked like. The human me wants to say they looked like skulls but I do not believe this is accurate. When I try to recall the faces I saw now, they look completely devoid of any defining characteristics. They are just overly large, oval shaped solid white heads without eyes, ears, mouth or nose.
This is when it gets interesting. From where I was seated I began to travel through time. The first place I went took me to others similar to the skeletal people I was with. When I came into the body it was on the ground facing up and another Being was looking down at me. He said to me, “We knew you were coming.” Then others came up from all around with long, narrow, spear-like things in their hands. They did not look happy to see me. As they began their assault I could see myself from above and watched as I began to murmur some words I cannot recall now. These words pulled me out of that body and back to my place of origin.
I went out again, this time coming into a body at the theater only I was sitting in the very back next to a man who was very obviously human. He turned and smiled at me. He seemed small to me but then I realized I must also be small. I looked down at myself and saw both the skeletal white body and a human one. It was like I was both but then the human man did not seem afraid so I concluded my body looked human. Remembering I came from a seat up at the front I realized I was not wearing any shoes. I began looking for my shoes. I asked the man if he had seen them and he pointed at my feet. I saw some female shoes, white and slender like flats. I put them on and sat there a while. A movie was playing on the screen. I think it was a musical. It seemed enjoyable so I watched with the others for a while. Then I told the man I needed to return to my seat where I had left my other shoes, some much more comfortable than the ones I had in my hands (I never put them on).
I went to the front and sat next to others like myself. My shoes were where I left them. I could see both their skeletal form and human form, the latter being more solid. The movie scene mixes here with what was going on in the seats around me so it gets confusing. It comes out in the dream like the movie actors/actresses are both on screen and off. Those off screen got up and began to form a line and then a circle. I joined them. We were dancing together and I did not know the foot placement. No worries, I was told, follow along with me. A women in front of me showed me and though clumsy, I was able to keep pace. The woman in her skeletal overlay had on jewelry and was adorned with wreaths of flowers around her neck. So were all the others. I concluded I was wearing the same.
The whole time I felt heavy with the suit of armor or whatever my other body consisted of. I was too big for the human body and quite awkward in it.
When it finished, I went back to my seat, the one in the front, to retrieve my other shoes. They were tennis shoes and I remembered them vividly in my mind. When I went to my seat another person was occupying it. In fact, the whole row was full of women, all who looked solidly human. I inquired about my seat and began to head towards it and the woman pointed to another row. I saw an entirely empty row closer to the screen. Confused, I followed their instructions thinking maybe I had been wrong about where my original seat was located.
When I woke my body was alive with energy, especially my second and third chakras. I wondered about the dream and then remembered that Pluto had gone direct, likely overnight while I was sleeping. Could that be why I had such vivid dreams?
Pluto
I am no expert on Pluto and my astrological chart but I do know it has a lot of influence on my life because my Ascendant is in Aquarius. I believe it is now in my 1st house after years of tearing down old, outgrown loyalties, unhelpful patterns and codependent habits (divorce anyone?). It felt like trembling of the ground and then a volcanic explosion for me (as in anger lol) that only recently simmered down around May of this year, when Pluto went retrograde.
While Pluto was retrograde I felt relief from the anger and got some perspective on why I had been so angry, etc, making the decision to stop the “attack” on my ex and move forward more peacefully. I let go of the anger and vengeful thoughts and felt an immense relief in doing so. I left my counseling job and spent a lot of time resting, going inward and evaluating what worked for me in life and what did not, specifically in love/relationships and in career. I felt the need to move forward but a major “NO” from within when I tried to do so. It was very clear that I was to wait and when Pluto went direct that resistant was gone.
I backed off all summer and watched as those around me seemed to be going through their own evaluation periods. My sister especially went through this, but I also witnessed my brother fall into a depression for a while and only recently come out from it. My ex has been struggling (according to my kids) with his new girlfriend (fights/arguments) and work and, most recently, the conflict with our son. Interestingly, my daughter and my brother BOTH had interviews the day Pluto went direct. lol My daughter got offered the job and my brother is going to have interview #2 soon and I believe he will get that job offer. Whether he takes it is unclear yet. If he does, he will move out of my spare room in January. 😦
I don’t think the anger will be returning. I am done with wasting my time, thoughts, energy, and life force, on someone who never fully appreciated me or loved me for me. I deserve more. My focus is going to be on loving myself and looking to myself for those things I have always sought from others: validation, approval, love, value, companionship, security.
Other Happenings
Family Reunion
The day Pluto went direct I hosted a family gathering at my country home. It was an important one because 1. my mom’s 78th birthday was the day before, and 2. it was the first time my mom had seen her daughter and grandson (my sister and nephew) in years. I cannot remember how long it has been, but after my mom evicted my sister and her husband off her property, my sister refused to see or talk to her and would not let her son see her, his grandmother. My sister, who I have been speaking to since May (when Pluto went retro), has been sober and doing purposeful healing work. She originated to me that she wanted to see our mom, so I set up this gathering. It turned out beautifully.
My mom cried happy tears when she saw my sister and nephew and hugged my sister for a very long time. We had cake and chatted for a while and then took a walk down to the pond. My sister and brother along with my oldest son went exploring. My sister found a tiny turtle skull (featured photo) and my brother found a massive turtle shell in almost perfect condition. It was only missing three scutes, all around the bottom of the shell where it met the top portion.
Messages
All in all, I could feel a palpable shift in the energy that day and I continue to feel it. My dreams have also shifted. I keep getting messages and hints of upcoming changes related to family and relationships as well as perhaps resolution of lingering power/control dynamics.
In addition to the date of Dec. 21 of this year (winter solstice), I have twice been told my ex will call me. The first time I was told this (two weeks ago) my ex called me not long after about “wrestling” with our oldest son (major physical argument). The result was our son staying with me during his week with his father. I received 10 phone calls from my ex that day. 10! That is more phone calls than I receive in a year now that we are divorced. One phone call was quite productive, and though our son was insistent upon living with me full-time, I convinced him to give his father another chance and so he stayed there this past week. Had this incident happened a year ago, I believe I would have approached it all very differently to the extent that my son would likely be living with me full-time. My willingness and agreeableness to resolve the situation helped shift my ex’s approach and so what may have been a highly volatile situation was smoothed over, corners tucked in like a freshly made bed.
Then the night before last I awoke from a dream about my ex hearing, “He will call you”. This came with a Knowing of changes coming for my ex. These changes, like the house of cards he and I built together, has cracks in its foundation. The dream I had showed the floors of his house buckling and forming a crevasse down the middle of the living room, the devastation caused by a water leak. While I can’t say I Know the specific details of this collapse, it appears to be linked to him not doing the healing work he needed to do after our divorce as well as some other bad decisions. I did not wake feeling these issues would directly impact me and my life and/or finances but they might indirectly impact me.
I was also told very matter-of-factly by a masculine voice upon waking, “You will get everything you want, just not how you expect.” Is this good or bad news? IDK but hey, if I get everything I want, then bring it on. If it is not in the way I expect, then at least it will be interesting, right?
