Saturn and Pluto is a combination that can possibly see you promoted to greater power, but might just as easily dismiss everything you’ve painstakingly built. But because sextiles are hopeful aspects, allow me to unearth a glimmer of hope in this week’s sextile aspect between Saturn and Pluto – and that’s the potential to turn a disruption you couldn’t control into a new level of personal evolution.

Saturn makes a rare sextile aspect to Pluto, with the Sun aspecting both of them, to tackle matters related to authority and control. The Cancer First Quarter Moon also connects with Saturn, introducing a warm emotional element, and April answers a listener question about reconciling contradictory astrological interpretations.

Endings and letting go are a process. This is the New Moon to initiate that process, and it begins with letting go of pretense and saying the truth. We step out onto the precipice here and begin a long, slow fall – and this New Moon is very much about how we handle this process.
