Episode 77: Pluto with Dena DeCastro
Pluto in astrology represents transformation, death, and rebirth. Dena DeCastro & I talk about Pluto and Pluto Transits and do a reading based on these themes.
Transiting Pluto By Dena DeCastro
The force of transiting Pluto brings transformative, life-changing external events OR internal realization (reference the January Podcast on Pluto into Capricorn). Pluto brings the opportunity for us to reconnect with our passions by clearing away things that are blocking us in the unconscious. Pluto offers us the lesson that we are not ultimately in control of everything in or lives, and often we find that there is very little we do control. The issue of power and its locus is up for consideration here, and we must look at our relationship to power – both our own power and how others use power towards us. Pluto often pushes us to face our fears – not to punish us, but so that we may come more fully into our own power and feel a passionate connection to our lives.

Leisa,
I’ve deeply appreciated your podcasts with Dena Decastro. You both inspire me so much! I cannot thank the two of you enough for your podcasts. It is your segments together that have allowed me to understand how to work with the language of astrology in my day-to-day life.
For the show notes, I appreciate seeing the tarot card imagery and workable keywords in terms of Plutonian energy. I’m sending a link to an article I wrote about the tower and 9/11. It’s a serious topic but my goal was to share another way of looking at the tower card as inspirational instead of intimidating. This came to mind as I was listening to the podcast. I hope it is helpful for anyone connecting to the energy of the tower card.
