Pluto square Pluto: Which category?

My Pluto must be woofing up one helluva storm. I noticed an email on a local listserv yesterday, someone who had moved from NYC to a small sleepy community nearby was asking for suggestions on where she could go to get moving helpers for an impending move to the Mad City. She mentioned she was a writer (my thinking: could be good, something possibly in common/could be bad - tons of books) and something about her plea spoke to me. I emailed a response, offering the services of McB & Son Moving Co. (I think our motto could be "We're not professionals but we grunt like the ones on TV") and asking for details. She called me this morning. Life happens this way. I should not be surprised that it does - that it has and continues to - but I am and it does.

While making arrangements on the telephone today, we got to talking about sun signs. She asked me about my moon. I had the internal smartass response ready, begging to snark 'I gotcha moon right heah', but all things thought need not be all words spoken, and we continued talking about astrology. She pointed me to Astro to get a very specific-to-me personal read based on my birth date, time, and location. Here's a portion of my 'forecast':

1 October 2004 until 21 November 2004: This is a period of general regeneration, which may not be entirely pleasant. Most of us are attached to the past whether or not it is good for us. And this influence will root out precisely those elements of the past that are not good for you, even those aspects that you have forgotten about. Problems that you may have lost track of entirely but which are still working unconsciously in your life may reappear and become active now, usually but not always to your detriment.

This influence is associated with forces for change that are inherent within the hidden depths of things. Therefore you should not blame the unpleasant changes that occur now on circumstances or persons in your environment. Look within yourself to see how the groundwork for the present is laid in the past.

Many things may be destroyed at this time, and the destruction will be ruthless if you defend them with rigidity. The action of this influence upon unyielding entities is particularly harsh. Therefore you should simply allow the things of the past to fade and allow the future to be born on their ruins. If you can do this, the potential for positive change is very great.

This influence may also increase your concern about the creative and regenerative processes within the universe and cause you to become interested in the occult. However, certain aspects of the occult, such as magic, are best avoided during this time, because the energies involved will be difficult to control now. Although your conscious mind may be in control at first, you are likely to find that entirely unconscious forces within you have taken over and are running you completely. This can have disastrous consequences.

You may also get into severe power struggles with people who are trying to prevent the changes in your life or who are trying to expedite changes that you are resisting. Look very carefully to ascertain which category they are in.

The Inner Rigidity in me has to warn you: If you're the bully who plans to get in my way these next few days, I'd step aside if I was you.

There are just a few more days left in this section of the reading and I'll likely post the next piece (which I haven't read - that's like cheating by skipping chapters in a book to get to the next bodice-ripping scene just because the inane commentary about what Miss Maisie served up for dinner seems so ho-hum blah. IF they didn't have dinner they'd die and there'd be NO bodice-ripping scene at all so DEAL WITH THE DINNER and the best part will come eventually!) What was I talking about anyway?? Oh, yes. Life changes. Whether or not you believe in astral phenonema, if you are a close friend who knows some of my revealed inner workings of late, you might find this Oct/Nov reading for me eerie. Chilling even. (I don't know, DO you?) It's not like I knew what it was going to say ahead of time, not like I planned to mindfully leap into some new stuff and make some of the changes I've decided to make knowing, even subconsciously, that some report said 'blahblahblah, you will be doing this you mindless drone' and so I did it. I did it, THEN read about it. oooooOOOooooo

You're not doing anything particularly important right now (oh come on, you know you're not) - go over to Astro and enter you details. They don't ask you to register, they don't even ask your last name or address, isn't that kind of them? I'm really interested in knowing if your findings are as creepyaccurate as mine seem to be.

Oh yes, after you've pondered yourself into a corner, come back here and let me know what you've discovered? Let's quietly puzzle it out together.
