1. How you are feeling at this moment, what is on your mind and the nature of your question. THE FUTURE A redemption amidst the ruins: Pluto in Sagittarius or in the Ninth House A grail-like chalice rises above a toxic, post-industrial wasteland. Though the odds may be stacked against you, the situation can be saved with some imagination and hard work. The triumph of optimistic ideals over cynical pessimism demands a heroic vision and a persistence of effort and soul. In the Grail mythos King Arthur had to marry the land before ruling the people, suggesting the need for vertical union before horizontal involvement. To redeem an otherwise bleak and dismal situation now requires your undivided commitment not to change the world or to change others but towards stabilizing your own vertical integrity. You are looking to envision a future to not merely "live with" but to live for. 2. The factors influencing you and what is happening around you. OBSESSED Wherever attention is totally concentrated: Pluto in Leo or in the Fifth House Either a current obsession has begun to own you or you are about to discover a new one. Obsession moves you closer to your most intuitive sources; it’s where all the energy is. This image symbolizes a limited amount of time to create ot find outlets for your white hot burning desires. You can only remain obsessed for so long before becoming utterly consumed by the impending implosions (from lack of outlets) or explosions (with outlets). The pressure’s mounting and nobody knows when it’s going to blow. 3. The direction you need to take to resolve any problems before you. TIME IS SLIPPING AWAY A recognition of impermanence: Neptune in Capricorn or in the Tenth House Procrastination alert! Each passing moment never returns; every person you meet will someday die. Are you taking something or someone near and dear for granted? If so, it may not be too late to take action and show your gratitude. An unspecified yet limited time on Earth is given to us all for living, loving and doing the work. Forget this basic truth and you risk lapsing into the underlying socio-moral trance of "life everlasting." Afterlife or not, the time of your life slips away when you’re not paying enough attention to this one.
