Dear Miriam --
Your friend’s natal Sun is at 20 degrees of Sagittarius, and the planet Pluto, now at 22 degrees of Sagittarius, has been transiting your friend’s Sun for the past two years. In other words: its influence is now waning.
This is a fairly rare transit, and only occurs every 247 years. Its effects on individuals can be widespread, dramatic and last a long time after the transit; the person is changed forever. And, the transit can act on different people in different ways. In your friend‘s case. It IS a life and death matter. She must let go of all that she has been and be willing to make (accept) a TOTAL transformation of herself – as I will try to explain later.
Secondly, Pluto is transiting her second house of personal resources, and – since she is a Sagittarian, with Mercury, Neptune and the Sun all in Sagittarius, this has been a very long series of the firing up OF ALL OF HER SPIRITUAL RESOURCES.
(By way of further explanation, on Life and Death matters: a Scorpio friend of mine died a couple of years back, when Uranus was squaring her natal Sun. She absolutely could NOT change as Life wished for her.
And this change that LIFE asks of your friend, involving Pluto, is much more challenging than Uranus involves. First, the change in your friend’s persona is like a death followed by a rebirth. And since Sagittarius IS a mutable sign (and closest to God), she really should be able to LET GO of all her ideas on who she is, and get with the changes).
Her natal Pluto is in her 12th house, of the past – working there to clean up and change old memory records that are outworn and useless for what Life now expects of her Sons and Daughters. Your friend’s Moon and Saturn, fortunately are in Cancer, in the 12th house of Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius). Further, Saturn as her most elevated planet, will surely show her the way. But for now, she must concentrate on surviving, and allowing Life to show her the Immediate Way.
SAVING HERSELF
She is a third decanate Sagittarian, so what she is working on (for this lifetime) is the Kingdom of Earth, but in the World of Fire. And while Life may bring her a clear decision on some final Spiritual Path at a later time, for now here are some thoughts that will help your friend to see her Way at this critical point of change:
Her physical body and her constitution are focal points of all energies in the world. She should think of herself, then, as being nothing but POINTS OF LIGHT, and of her body becoming attuned so it can hold these points in service of Life Itself.
She should think of herself as the fulfillment of some specific task that LIFE will soon ask from her, and it would help her to say – everyday, and then to hold this thought: ‘I am a center of expression for the Primal Will to Good which continually creates and sustains the Universe.’
Also, at every moment, in the back of her mind – like a mantra, should echo the realization that she (her body) is a temple for the most High; and she is ONE with the One Self of the Universe.
The ancient Rosicrucians (of Fama fame) called her assignment the ‘Zelator’ – or zealous student. Her goal during this lifetime is to SEE INTO all things and all people, and being ‘zealous’ means that THIS burning desire to SEE this in this Manner is what drives her!
She must also be willing to give up all she has learned, and to accept and trust the great LOVE that comes to her. The source of all this Love is the angel Michael, the angel of the Sun – or so say the Cabalists. And I would seriously recommend she get a Rider (Waite) Tarot deck and keep Key 14, Temperance, on her altar. This Key represents Sagittarius and the Angel of the Sun or Michael.
Michael will eventually do all things for her, as she learns to trust Him and comes to see that His TESTS have really TEMPERED her and made her stronger. Astrologically there is a particular connection between Michael and her Mercury in Sagittarius. (Incidentally, her Mercury is in Sagittarius and tightly conjunct her Neptune).
I do not know the spiritual leanings of your friend, but the Cabala is also tightly related to Yoga as taught by Pantajali; but I have cast this in Cabalistic terms, and after your friend survives this period of travail – and establishes herself as a spiritual expression for life, then is the time for any further changes.
And, by that time, she will KNOW which Path is best for her. When she is ready, LIFE will tell her.
Blessings
Shantana
