Dear Elsa,
This year has been a roller-coaster ride for me: costly house repairs, family issues, and work hassles. I also moved in with my long-term boyfriend, and got engaged.
And the ride does not seem to be stopping: more issues are getting onboard! When will the constant changes end, and how I can find my equilibrium amidst it all?
Dizzy and Bewildered
Dear Dizzy,
I’m sorry, but you’ve got a Pluto transit going and this upheaval is going to continue throughout 2006. So it’s very smart of you to be looking for a way to align with the times. And it tells me that you’re already done this to an extent. It tells me that on a deep level, you know.
What will help is perspective. Think of it like a volcano erupting. Your life is erupting. And an erupting volcano is quite terrifying. I mean, come on: hot red lava squirting out of a mountain and everyone is powerless to stop it. It’s a force of nature.
So this describes your life right now, but just like that volcano ... after a time, when it damn well pleases, things will settle down. And sure, the landscape will have changed, but so? It’s all in the grand scheme and there are a few things to take from this analogy.
First, the fact that this is not going to last forever, and second that it’s a natural process. Third - except for on the days the lava runs right through your front door and into your house - people in Pluto transits can pretty much go about their business while a volcano does its thing. They peacefully co-exist with a force of nature and this is what I suggest you do.
It may also help in your case to acknowledge that your erupting life is a mirror image of how you feel inside. In other words ... you are a volcano. One that needs to blow, that is. You need to clear your decks, roto-rooter, puke it up, etc. And once you do ... come 2007, you are going to be so calm that no one’s going to recognize you.
See the graphic on this blog? That’s a calendar. I suggest you buy it, and hang it on the wall as a way to embrace what is happening to you.
Good luck.
