I love your videos! It's like storytime for adults. Sometimes I just get really comfortable, close my eyes and these stories are like a guided meditation for me! So fascinating all of it. Thank you!
Wow! So great. I have Pluto in Leo with my Moon and Sun and this is the first time I have heard about "everything always taking so much time" - and indeed I experience that far too often! One of my favorite opera moments is the aria Possente Spiritu in Monteverdi's Orfeo. During this aria Orfeo charms Charon to take him into the underworld so he can rescue Euridice. I have performed this aria on triple harp several times (big harp solo) one of my favorites being during performances in the Salzburg Festival. The aria is like a meeting between Pluto and Venus! : ) Thank you for another great lesson Christopher.
This is just what I needed today. After years in the underworld, I am moving to rebirth but in a world I no longer recognize where I don't fit and a family who judges me for being in the underworld for so long. Always a genuine pleasure, Christopher--you are a gift!
Persephone also returned temporary to the upper world, every so often. When possible, could you say something about her journey? I find her fascinating. Thank you for this really illuminating talk.
Christopher you are an absolute gem! I don’t know you personally but I just appreciate you so much! I wish I had you as my neighbour or something 😄 One more incredible story told with such eloquence. Thank you for all that you continue to bring us!
Thank you so much! This was very timely and heartening. My sun is 27 Capricorn 🎉 I’m finally getting to the empowering change part, 😂 the underworld dives have become easier to deal with as I level up after each pass.
Having a big fat cry at the end of this wonderful storytelling. I saying to someone recently as it’s my Chiron return and Pluto’s dance macabre is playing out in my 7th, I feel like I’m being reborn and it’s extremely painful. Thank you Christopher, this gives me strength and greater resilience. As a Cancer rising, I truly carry home within. 💕As Pluto entered Cap in 2008, I gave birth to my amazing daughter that has special needs, my marriage ended mid transit and as we come to the end, my older sons are leaving the nest. Please be gentle in these last few retrogradations Pluto 🙏❤
Oh I can so empathize with you. Also a cancer rising with 5 planets in Libra and a Chiron return simultaneously…divorce, remarriage, several moves, and a few career changes later I too feel this finalizing period of rebirth. Hang in there my fellow cancer, we’ve almost made it back home ❤
@@SkyClockAstrology I have 3 planets in Libra too. Pluto at 3deg, Venus at 8, Uranus at 20. My Uranus is a direct opposition to my Chiron too. Wishing us both peace and stability as we create a fabulous chapter 2!!♥️
Oh Kim, I hear ya girl. I also have Cancer rising as do my twin daughters, 26 all of us in the 7th house. I haven't felt safe in "Earth School" terms anyway, since 2009 when we lost our home as a lot of people did. My heart goes out to you, but I do know, we all made a choice to come here when we did. Once I surrendered and I mean completely, I found Peace amid all the pain. Christopher's storytelling today reminds me again even though I FEEL this everyday. Earth School duality, but also can bring great Beauty.
Christopher I was deeply moved by your interpretation. My sun is at 28,40 of Capricorn. My husbund died in 2013. I raised my children alone . Today I saw the rainbow in Madrid, my new home . Thank you so much , you really reach people’s ♡.
I am so sorry for your loss and for your travails. It all sounds so hard and I admire your strength and perseverance. Thank you for sharing your story with us and your Rainbow in Madrid. 😊
Another wonderful rendition of the Greek myths and Gods!!! If only it was taught like this in school. And I just love being entertained by a funny, intelligent actor astrologer. Thanks Christopher
I didn’t want this podcast to end today. It was very comforting to a Scorpio rising with mercury 26 and a Capricorn Sun at 7. Wondering if I’ll still feel the effects on my Mercury? Your truly the definition of a Renaissance man!
This could not have been better!! Loved every second. Pluto in Capricorn in my 4th house-my dad died in 2008, and it was the beginning of every single bit of healing I’ve done as a human being. I’m curious where this will take me now. Thanks again, Christopher.
I just love listening your wisdoms. There is always so much I learn and come away with. And your knowledge of the mythology is encyclopedic! Thank you wonderful Christopher! xo
Christopher, you spoke directly to my heart. A family tragedy has plummeted us all into the underworld of Pluto. You’re right. I will never be the same. But I don’t want to live there. I want and need to embrace the rebirth of myself. Thank you for your eloquent words of wisdom. My heart is healing with each passing day. Blessings friend 🙏🏽💙
Thank you, Christopher! I have been moving through a rebirth that has been difficult and challenging but now has a new appreciation and reverence for the journey I've been on. You spoke to my soul with this episode. And I have a whole new conversation to have with Pluto than the one I have been using lately. The last degrees of Capricorn and most of Aquarius are my 10th house so Pluto has been impactful in his movement of these two signs. I so appreciate the reflective gift you have presented in this episode.
Christopher, last week I got a bit lost with the story, and as if to support me with that, the same bible story you told was shared by another person in another field whom I follow. So I think I got the message. Thank you. Always love your weekly reports, so much!
WoW! Thank you for sharing this side of Pluto which personally, have not heard before. Truly helpful for those of us experiencing this powerful transit open to taking in the wisdom it brings. So very grateful to have found you here, I never miss any of your podcast! They have helped me tremendously!
I'd like to think that we're meant to live in polarity b/c without it we would b struck in one reality. And b/c of the fact that we r multi-dementioal it's a balance we need.😍🌅
Pluto conj my North Noden in my natal chart. Your stories today... all too familiar. Awareness of choices at the crossroads...key! Thanks for the teaching!
Yes, as you know, Christopher I am (past) groaning with the Pluto return to my rising sign🙄; I get the “need” to go through an ordeal (again?!) in order to transform. Still, it’s like being made to do it (again?!) that just makes me not want to re-live what I’ve learned, though I now appreciate it, but it is like, why (again?!)?😱 However, I do appreciate your insight as to Hades’ coolness as he interacts with people; he could be angry with things, but he is not. Hmmmm🤔, with the fact/task that the (returning) ordeal is to remind me that the ordeal is to involve evolution. Thank you!!
Thank you Christopher, that was wonderful. It is indeed the slowness of the underworld that makes life feel like wading through treacle! I love your way of bringing it all together into such an encouraging finale to reflect on. Wishing you an interesting week!
Odysseus going to find out who he is; I'd like that to be the purpose of my 13 years in the underworld... When I lost my Dad, I literally did not know who I was anymore. Maybe there are answers, maybe I can step out of the shadows and slough off the decade of mourning.
Christopher, this presentation was really the definition of Plutonian. Your understanding, and expounding on the experience of Pluto was profound, enlightening, and life altering. As someone who is going through Pluto on my Moon, and conjunct my Venus, I so resonate with your conclusion of the experience, especially for those who endeavor to return to the surface, and face the Sun. I unequivocally know that I am no longer the wounded child of my adolescence. Thank you for your gift. 😊
Yes! All roads lead to Home!! No matter what realm of Hell your detour takes you. (You may, however, return Home suffering from the horrendous condition of noassitol) ;)
As a 8° cap rising the pain of this long period has been real! Im changed though and not the same for the better. Not easy though. And so isolating like you said and people don’t get it! Very lonely. Andi didn’t learn about Pluto until about 3-4 years ago and it what it meant to be in ghe 1st. So learning about it and Saturn in my first together was very validating!Thanks, as always, Christopher! ❤
I am Capricorn 29 with Scorpio Asc. 25. Pluto conj my Sun and at the same time squaring my S. Node Aries 5th h conj Chiron and N. Node 29 Libra 11th. My natal Pluto also in 11th h. My Cap stellium in the 2nd house squaring Pluto (except thankfully the Sun) Mercury, Mars, Moon and finally Sun. My 3rd house is in 0 Aquarius. It has been a long and painful ride... Being a Saturn Plutonian helps me understand those energies but it was hard stuff that I know I needed to reveal my true self, my purpose and realize that the true wealth is within me. My value and my talents. I am cutting cords with the past. Found out that I am a round peg not fitting in this square hole. Just at the point of coming out of the cocoon. I ve killed every part of me a thousand times. At a soul level I know I ve accepted the challenge. I am coming out of the Underworld soon. Return to innocence..
Pluto has been transiting my natal sun in the 8th house for years and years now. I really thought it was going to kill me, especially when I got COVID long haul. I mean, maybe it still will, but I'm still here. I've been laying in bed for a couple years, frustrated at having no life anymore and not seeming like much of a future. But there's been a subtle shift in the Plutonian experience this past year. I'm starting to feel like instead of destroying me, it's working an angle of self-empowerment. I'm can't say for sure, since I'm still in the middle of it (but interestingly, the shift seems to be happening around the time that Pluto has finally surpassed my natal sun, even though it's gonna continue to back over it like a dump truck for a while to come, but at least he's not hovering right on top, anymore). In fact, I've been starting to feel like I'm in the cocoon phase where I'm now just dissolved caterpillar guts trapped in the dark with no clue what is going on, but there's this faint possibility now hinting that I might just emerge as a butterfly? If I could attribute this impression to anything, it's that dealing with Pluto is having all your illusions shattered. Which sucks really hard, because man survives on hope. But the rose-colored glasses adjustment to the gray color of the brutality of reality eventually shifts your vision to what is real. And there really is a power to seeing things as they are, including yourself. I wouldn't really wish it on anyone. But it's like the Universe sitting your butt down in a time-out, and the time-out is so long- past the chagrin, past the frustration, past the antsiness, past the despair, the grief, the cynicism- like, it's the time factor that makes the ultimate shift, because you just can't run away from it. There's nowhere to run and you're just stuck with yourself until you can finally come to an agreement with what you don't like. Like the old saying, "Wherever you go, there you are." It's almost like a years-long meditation, where you slowly out-wait the fluctuations of the mind until you finally come to this still place of power within, but created instead as a full-bodied, life experience. I wouldn't have ever thought of Pluto this way, but now that I've been living it, it's integrating into my consciousness. I don't know about the past life angle, as I had been dealing with a lot of past life stuff all before the Pluto transit and almost none during. The Pluto transit has felt a lot more like a black hole, to me. The place where you're stuck outside time and space, getting turned inside out.
Wow. Just wow. What an in-depth, absolutely emotionally rich explanation. I almost cried, but also I just want to give you the biggest cuddle. You are by far the cutest astrologer and one of the most elaborate that I have ever come across. What a treat. Thank you Christopher, you are absolutely gorgeous xxx
Pluto has now become a close friend. I have died many times in my 71 years on the planet. Not to mention the past lives! It's best to embrace the process, you will be rewarded.
I think from now on when people ask "what did you do on Sunday?" I'm going to say "ohhh I studied classical myth, and you?"😆!! ... Another wonderful learning experience from the maestro! Thank you Christopher🙏🤗 !!
Thankyou Christopher, Such a profoundly impactful interpretation of these Pluto retrogrades. It is crossing over my natal Saturn (29 degrees) Capricorn each time in my 7th house. It has been a very long time of transformation since 2008, and I like the idea of holding onto the concepts you just spoke about. I am a Cancer rising, and as someone else commented, I feel as though I also carry my home with me, and this is the first time I truly feet the truth of it. Amazing
I was stuck in the mud in hell with my Pluto transit. Thank you for the Light you have brought me. You are a gift to us. I have a reference point now. I needed to hear your story today. ❤
Very entertaining as well as edifying on the many new adventures a descent into Haydes might bring.., hold on to your buttocks folks. Great segment ,thank you .
Dear Christopher and astrology hub, thank you so much for this episode. The experience of a relentless Pluto deconstructive process into finding one's truth or path (or even carrying generational trauma) is overwhelming. I feel that when I explain it, no one cares to listen because it is so frightening the possibility that it might happen to them if they dare look. So, the fact that you here so compassionately explain the ways in which it can happen, without judging, was very supportive for me. Even though we never met, it is like "OK, this friend gets it and can honor me."
I hear you Teresa. And you're right. People often don't want to hear about these things, but it doesn't mean that they don't feel them. Finding the ones who get it - and they're out there - can be tremendously empowering. 😊
Trying to break ground from down under after the fall through is the hardest battle I have ever had. Seems like the break through is stuck right below the surface . This touched my soul. Thanks once again. Where did I go ? How and when will I get back to the real me ? Keeping the faith ❤
@@christopherrenstromastro Working on that sprout cracking through the concrete, Christopher! Thank you for bringing a higher level of awareness to the plutonian journey. 💜🌈
Thank you so much. I truly felt this, especially the last 5 minutes. As a 29°+ Cancer Ascendant, I have been feeling Pluto. My beloved father passed away in early 2009, I'm wondering what Pluto will bring this time. My natal Pluto is conjunct my IC (within a minute) in Libra, very close but not conjunct my Moon. Astrologers tell me I'm Plutonian...I really just want to enjoy my life but I am still trying to figure out how. I never feel at home anywhere and have been travelling my entire adult life, so I definitely carry home with me, but it's still hard. Thank you for this espisode. 💜
Thank you for this 🙏 my Juno is at 29 capricorn, 8th house. I got married in 2008 when pluto was at O degrees. We divorced in 2021. Im curious what this retrograde back over my juno may bring..
Pluto conjunct my 27 Cap Moon, while Neptune has conjunct my Pisces Sun, has been humbling, insightful, deepening, soulful, and more challenging than I anticipated. And yes, the feeling of being punished has come up on several occasions over the past year. One more conjunction awaits in the coming months. Perhaps this transformative process will then reveal its ultimate gift. Thank you Christopher for beautifully articulating this Plutonian inward process from a mythological perspective..
Thank you for your work on Pluto and this teaching. Being a co-Capricorn and someone who lightly writes about mundane astrology, I have watched and tried to learn the expressions of Pluto in practical terms during the Cap transit. I have appreciated your presentation of the Hades story with extra characters. What Pluto will effect from 29 deg. r to 27 deg. r Cap and back again may be spelling finito to systems and structures we have already seen brought asunder but there are some stragglers who have resisted the msg that the past is not coming back (diehard extremists in D.C., for example). World leaders who were finished but tried to hold on for a comeback and new vote. But Pluto is literally dragging them offstage. Pluto is telling the recalcitrant cohorts who have refused to give up, that they must or go home. The point of extremist weather and radical land mass changes has been made. Now systems have baked in accommodating that as the new normal in deed as well as words. So in Aquarius, next year and onward, I see the people, in groups or masses, "change" the way they do civics locally to internationally and Middle of the Roader will think they have escaped Hades. They won't vote the traditional way - this is the cleaning out; the people are changing themselves. As to the big one that is never addressed, I watch the ruined system of Education. Collapsed under rules and regulations meant to bring it down so technology (Uranus) could prevail. But it isn't a desired system. Pluto represents its fracture - I believe. It seems education will be taken apart at the administrative level in Pluto's Aquarius; it has already started. Little Red Schoolhouse pods of social gatherings for simple learning and some technology for research. After some of the "Rs" have been achieved, maybe students will move from 8th grade to Trade School and later maybe college or some variance of this of their own choosing, but it will be better because it has been simplified for the people with less governmental interference or the people won't play. That is how I see Pluto in Quarius expressing until almost 2040 . We are entering a rejuvenating, uplifting phase - very beautiful.
How can I be almost looking forward to this next 6 months after your poetic prophetic charming reconciling rendition with words & images of what is & has been the experience of prolonged almost-but-never-given-death/hell, to recent promises of imminent rebirth, & now to see it as ok (even a relief) to sink back into where unnamed prolonged agony taunted me so long, accompanied only by my lonely fevered prayers. Could it be this time will help bring a balm to even those past times as I tread with increasing sure-footedness onwards & backwards but ever further along this long road home? Thank You Christopher ❤🍀🙏🏽
OMG! I needed to hear this so much!! It totally makes sense to me and I now understand why I’ve been feeling like this for so long. Christopher, thank you so much for explaining this meaning of Pluto and this upcoming retrograde period. I’m so grateful to you! 🙏🏻💕
Once again you explain so well the dynamics of the moment. I decided to try to figure out why I almost died when I discovered Astrology and Pluto. With ♑️ sun, Mercury and rising he has been having fun with me since that fateful time in 2018 - and my entire world has transformed since he entered Cap in 2008.
minute 35 on is so poignant - life on earth is about "working with" the transits - with my grand square in the last 4 cardinal degrees this last path of Pluto through my 5th having squared my moon, then Sun and now Mercury and Neptune it has been a roller coaster. Working with transformation I am reminded of the song "Immortality" by the Bee Gees, sung by Celine Dion. th-cam.com/video/bZolfKgW5Is/w-d-xo.html
I have Sun and Moon conjunct Pluto in Libra, I’m sooooo slow at everything I do. Although my mind goes a million miles a minute 😵💫. A positive is that I’ve always had a powerful impact on a lot of people in my life. & experienced MANY death and rebirth’s🤍
I swaer to goodness. Every time I listen to you, it seems as if you are speaking directly to me. Last time Plito entered Capricorn, my husband of 30 years walked away from the family. He moved thousands of miles away. After a 6 month period, I decided that I could either stop living or move forward. I moved forward. Took a promotion at work, took another one, bought a car, got my house in order, and now, I am my own woman about to retire. Along the past 8 yrs, life has happened, and I dealt with each occurrence by myself! So, i say to Pluto, come on ,dude." I am nowva different person, and I am smarter, braver, and stronger than I was the last time you entered my life. Thank you ,Christopher. I have been dreading Pluto again. But after your talk, I realize that I have nothing to fear.
Colorful and meaningful helpful and yet bittersweet. My natal pluto is exactly conjunct natal Venus in a stellium with Lilith sun Mercury and south node in Leo 11th house. It’s very familiar story of transformation of my life through or including all I have loved. Death and rebirth long periods of time readjusting and then it happens again. Leaving everything behind changes with the pluto transits are always serious but it’s become a lifting up process making me move into areas that helped me achieve freedom from pain and acceptance of God as my guiding light and help all through my life. Since Saturn and Neptune are conjunct in my first house natally I thank God they are positive influences to my pluto/Venus transformative influences.
Thank you Soooo much for this wonderful teaching about Pluto. I learned so much and can see that my last trip to the underworld was when I lost my mom, 2 1/2 years ago. I am in the painful Ascent process now. It really helps to see my journey in the light of a journey to Hades. It validates the ordeal. I would like to say to others out there who are not sure they can make the journey back, that being broken doesn't mean necessarily that a greater wholeness is not possible. In fact, I have been broken many times and have become more whole as a result. I like to think of it as Elizabeth Lesser calls it in the title of her book, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Is Grow. Christopher, I do appreciate the lack of judgement you communicate regarding the outcome of the trip to Hades... and, for me trusting the process does help me to be open to the possibilities in the Ascent and return. Of course, there are also times when I have questioned whether I would survive and whether I would want to continue. At those times, being honest about how I am feeling is as important as the times when I feel better about the process and can trust this transformational time. Hope this is helpful. 🌺🌺🌺
Having an illegal amount (4) of planets in Pluto, I can personally describe the planet as the butterfly. One must go into the underworld (Chrysalis) to find solitude, to process the necessary change to emerge (butterfly) into the new light in a more knowledgeable, beautiful way. The butterfly knows this and embraces the beauty of the new world with excitement as it flutters it's wings without fear for it understands that without the process life cannot emerge in a new way. Do not fear pluto but embrace the butterfly.
Thank you Christopher. Had to smile I kept thinking so pluto/hades owned his arse! Just how I've felt as pluto swings back and forth on the sun in ♑ and moon in ♒ in my natal! It's about time I smiled!
I guess there's not perfect part of self to leave in the underworld🙂 What a wonderful narration, dear Christopher - absolutely love the history in the story, and the upside of the downside....Thank you!
My experience of Hades is kind of like the Robin Williams character in Good Will Hunting, or like an old alcoholics anonymous sponsor. Ain't nothing you can say he ain't heard.
Love your stories and interpretations of the planets and myths, Christopher! With NN conjunct Pluto conjunct the MC in WS 11th house / Virgo, I really relate to this..Thank you! ❤👏😎☀️🌎🌝🙏🪷
Aqua rising here: we had pluto in aquarius for 2 months. so it was a preview of what we get next year. I felt a heavy waight when pluto was in my ascendent. and bossy people.Also people stalking and demanding what i should do. i am not ready for that pluto transiting for 20 years in my ascendent. so now when its back in capricorn i have a litle rest in my job and everywhere.
Fantastic! ‘You’ arrived in my feed for the first time a couple of days ago. Have listened deeply to this presentation multiple times since. I appreciate so deeply the depth and nuance of your message. Also am grateful for the way you have brought the Greek wisdom into our current incarnations, enlivening the ancient lessons for our present challenges. I feel incredibly nourished by your perspective, as well as affirmed, encouraged and fortified. Heartfelt thank you for the work you are doing. Blessings

I'd like to think that we're meant to live in polarity b/c without it we would b struck in one reality. And b/c of the fact that we r multi-dementioal it's a balance we need.😍🌅
Love you Christopher! No one does it better than you!💟💟💟 I have Scorpio South Node natally. You explained this so well.
Pluto conj my North Noden in my natal chart. Your stories today... all too familiar. Awareness of choices at the crossroads...key! Thanks for the teaching!
Yes, as you know, Christopher I am (past) groaning with the Pluto return to my rising sign🙄; I get the “need” to go through an ordeal (again?!) in order to transform. Still, it’s like being made to do it (again?!) that just makes me not want to re-live what I’ve learned, though I now appreciate it, but it is like, why (again?!)?😱 However, I do appreciate your insight as to Hades’ coolness as he interacts with people; he could be angry with things, but he is not. Hmmmm🤔, with the fact/task that the (returning) ordeal is to remind me that the ordeal is to involve evolution. Thank you!!
Thank you Christopher, that was wonderful. It is indeed the slowness of the underworld that makes life feel like wading through treacle! I love your way of bringing it all together into such an encouraging finale to reflect on. Wishing you an interesting week!
Odysseus going to find out who he is; I'd like that to be the purpose of my 13 years in the underworld... When I lost my Dad, I literally did not know who I was anymore. Maybe there are answers, maybe I can step out of the shadows and slough off the decade of mourning.
Christopher, this presentation was really the definition of Plutonian. Your understanding, and expounding on the experience of Pluto was profound, enlightening, and life altering. As someone who is going through Pluto on my Moon, and conjunct my Venus, I so resonate with your conclusion of the experience, especially for those who endeavor to return to the surface, and face the Sun. I unequivocally know that I am no longer the wounded child of my adolescence. Thank you for your gift. 😊
You're welcome Angela. And thank YOU for stopping by and watching. It's a gift I deeply appreciate. 😊
Yes! All roads lead to Home!! No matter what realm of Hell your detour takes you. (You may, however, return Home suffering from the horrendous condition of noassitol) ;)
Thank you so much. You have narrated pluto in a such a beautiful way. I loved listening you. ❤
Well... this vídeo was deeper than any other! Many things came up in my mind.
TY for the introspection and reflection it provided me.
Moral of the story: if you're gonna take on Pluto, watch your backside 😊
“You really can’t go back to the person you were before”… it’s so upsetting
Confused. I heard it leaves in Jan 2024 ? F..k that
You are a true teacher, Christopher. You deepen and expand my understanding. Your animated telling of the activities of the Gods brings them to life!
I'm so glad that you enjoy Horoscope Highlights Laura. And thanks for watching! 😊
Hades = stoic psychopath
As a 8° cap rising the pain of this long period has been real! Im changed though and not the same for the better. Not easy though. And so isolating like you said and people don’t get it! Very lonely. Andi didn’t learn about Pluto until about 3-4 years ago and it what it meant to be in ghe 1st. So learning about it and Saturn in my first together was very validating!Thanks, as always, Christopher! ❤
same here - cap rising and strong Saturn. It's been.....interesting.
@@amanitamuscaria7500 I hope you too have been experiencing a loosening of these energies as well! We are almost through the other side!
I've had such a day 😞...
Thanks for making me smile and then laugh Christopher ❤
I am Capricorn 29 with Scorpio Asc. 25. Pluto conj my Sun and at the same time squaring my S. Node Aries 5th h conj Chiron and N. Node 29 Libra 11th. My natal Pluto also in 11th h. My Cap stellium in the 2nd house squaring Pluto (except thankfully the Sun) Mercury, Mars, Moon and finally Sun. My 3rd house is in 0 Aquarius. It has been a long and painful ride... Being a Saturn Plutonian helps me understand those energies but it was hard stuff that I know I needed to reveal my true self, my purpose and realize that the true wealth is within me. My value and my talents. I am cutting cords with the past. Found out that I am a round peg not fitting in this square hole. Just at the point of coming out of the cocoon. I ve killed every part of me a thousand times. At a soul level I know I ve accepted the challenge. I am coming out of the Underworld soon. Return to innocence..
👏👏👏
I'm thrilled to find your TH-cam channel. It's full of fun . Thank you
Pluto has been transiting my natal sun in the 8th house for years and years now. I really thought it was going to kill me, especially when I got COVID long haul. I mean, maybe it still will, but I'm still here. I've been laying in bed for a couple years, frustrated at having no life anymore and not seeming like much of a future. But there's been a subtle shift in the Plutonian experience this past year. I'm starting to feel like instead of destroying me, it's working an angle of self-empowerment. I'm can't say for sure, since I'm still in the middle of it (but interestingly, the shift seems to be happening around the time that Pluto has finally surpassed my natal sun, even though it's gonna continue to back over it like a dump truck for a while to come, but at least he's not hovering right on top, anymore). In fact, I've been starting to feel like I'm in the cocoon phase where I'm now just dissolved caterpillar guts trapped in the dark with no clue what is going on, but there's this faint possibility now hinting that I might just emerge as a butterfly?
If I could attribute this impression to anything, it's that dealing with Pluto is having all your illusions shattered. Which sucks really hard, because man survives on hope. But the rose-colored glasses adjustment to the gray color of the brutality of reality eventually shifts your vision to what is real. And there really is a power to seeing things as they are, including yourself. I wouldn't really wish it on anyone. But it's like the Universe sitting your butt down in a time-out, and the time-out is so long- past the chagrin, past the frustration, past the antsiness, past the despair, the grief, the cynicism- like, it's the time factor that makes the ultimate shift, because you just can't run away from it. There's nowhere to run and you're just stuck with yourself until you can finally come to an agreement with what you don't like. Like the old saying, "Wherever you go, there you are." It's almost like a years-long meditation, where you slowly out-wait the fluctuations of the mind until you finally come to this still place of power within, but created instead as a full-bodied, life experience. I wouldn't have ever thought of Pluto this way, but now that I've been living it, it's integrating into my consciousness. I don't know about the past life angle, as I had been dealing with a lot of past life stuff all before the Pluto transit and almost none during. The Pluto transit has felt a lot more like a black hole, to me. The place where you're stuck outside time and space, getting turned inside out.
Sending love.
Im a cap sun , aqua moon and rising. I absolutely loved pluto in Aquarius!! Im looking forward for it being back in aqua in jan 2024.
So are we!
You’re fabulous. Just fabulous. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And the “flat ass” had me in stitches. 😂
LOL same 😂
Wow. Just wow. What an in-depth, absolutely emotionally rich explanation. I almost cried, but also I just want to give you the biggest cuddle. You are by far the cutest astrologer and one of the most elaborate that I have ever come across. What a treat. Thank you Christopher, you are absolutely gorgeous xxx
Pluto has now become a close friend. I have died many times in my 71 years on the planet. Not to mention the past lives! It's best to embrace the process, you will be rewarded.
Yes! Absolutely.
I think from now on when people ask "what did you do on Sunday?" I'm going to say "ohhh I studied classical myth, and you?"😆!! ... Another wonderful learning experience from the maestro! Thank you Christopher🙏🤗 !!
Thankyou Christopher,
Such a profoundly impactful interpretation of these Pluto retrogrades. It is crossing over my natal Saturn (29 degrees) Capricorn each time in my 7th house. It has been a very long time of transformation since 2008, and I like the idea of holding onto the concepts you just spoke about. I am a Cancer rising, and as someone else commented, I feel as though I also carry my home with me, and this is the first time I truly feet the truth of it.
Amazing
Blessings to all. 🤠❤️🔥🦋Christopher just what the doctor ordered ❤
persefone was having a blast with uncle hades in hell! pluto has so much patience, even patience is jelous of pluto!
Lol 😅😅😅😅
very useful. who knew???? ty!
I was stuck in the mud in hell with my Pluto transit.
Thank you for the Light you have brought me.
You are a gift to us.
I have a reference point now.
I needed to hear your story today.
❤
Very entertaining as well as edifying on the many new adventures a descent into Haydes might bring.., hold on to your buttocks folks. Great segment ,thank you .
wow, what a deep teaching on Pluto! I have pluto in leo squaring my nodes natally; finally gained some insight on this all, precious!
I love your theatrical storytelling ❤ I’m learning so much more from you😊
Dear Christopher and astrology hub, thank you so much for this episode. The experience of a relentless Pluto deconstructive process into finding one's truth or path (or even carrying generational trauma) is overwhelming. I feel that when I explain it, no one cares to listen because it is so frightening the possibility that it might happen to them if they dare look. So, the fact that you here so compassionately explain the ways in which it can happen, without judging, was very supportive for me. Even though we never met, it is like "OK, this friend gets it and can honor me."
I hear you Teresa. And you're right. People often don't want to hear about these things, but it doesn't mean that they don't feel them. Finding the ones who get it - and they're out there - can be tremendously empowering. 😊
This was the BEST explanation of Pluto natal or transit that I have ever heard or read, even in chart Pluto placement comparison.
Trying to break ground from down under after the fall through is the hardest battle I have ever had. Seems like the break through is stuck right below the surface . This touched my soul. Thanks once again. Where did I go ? How and when will I get back to the real me ? Keeping the faith ❤
If there's anything I've learned from Pluto it's patience. That feeling of being stuck right below the surface is the pause before the bloom. 😊
@@christopherrenstromastro Working on that sprout cracking through the concrete, Christopher! Thank you for bringing a higher level of awareness to the plutonian journey. 💜🌈
Absolutely Beautiful Christopher, such respect for Pluto. Thank you.
…needed this - in its eloquence and depth!! 💗thank you
Thank you so much. I truly felt this, especially the last 5 minutes. As a 29°+ Cancer Ascendant, I have been feeling Pluto. My beloved father passed away in early 2009, I'm wondering what Pluto will bring this time. My natal Pluto is conjunct my IC (within a minute) in Libra, very close but not conjunct my Moon. Astrologers tell me I'm Plutonian...I really just want to enjoy my life but I am still trying to figure out how. I never feel at home anywhere and have been travelling my entire adult life, so I definitely carry home with me, but it's still hard. Thank you for this espisode. 💜
Thank you for this 🙏 my Juno is at 29 capricorn, 8th house. I got married in 2008 when pluto was at O degrees. We divorced in 2021. Im curious what this retrograde back over my juno may bring..
Pluto conjunct my 27 Cap Moon, while Neptune has conjunct my Pisces Sun, has been humbling, insightful, deepening, soulful, and more challenging than I anticipated. And yes, the feeling of being punished has come up on several occasions over the past year.
One more conjunction awaits in the coming months. Perhaps this transformative process will then reveal its ultimate gift. Thank you Christopher for beautifully articulating this Plutonian inward process from a mythological perspective..
Thank you for your work on Pluto and this teaching. Being a co-Capricorn and someone who lightly writes about mundane astrology, I have watched and tried to learn the expressions of Pluto in practical terms during the Cap transit. I have appreciated your presentation of the Hades story with extra characters. What Pluto will effect from 29 deg. r to 27 deg. r Cap and back again may be spelling finito to systems and structures we have already seen brought asunder but there are some stragglers who have resisted the msg that the past is not coming back (diehard extremists in D.C., for example). World leaders who were finished but tried to hold on for a comeback and new vote. But Pluto is literally dragging them offstage. Pluto is telling the recalcitrant cohorts who have refused to give up, that they must or go home. The point of extremist weather and radical land mass changes has been made. Now systems have baked in accommodating that as the new normal in deed as well as words. So in Aquarius, next year and onward, I see the people, in groups or masses, "change" the way they do civics locally to internationally and Middle of the Roader will think they have escaped Hades. They won't vote the traditional way - this is the cleaning out; the people are changing themselves. As to the big one that is never addressed, I watch the ruined system of Education. Collapsed under rules and regulations meant to bring it down so technology (Uranus) could prevail. But it isn't a desired system. Pluto represents its fracture - I believe. It seems education will be taken apart at the administrative level in Pluto's Aquarius; it has already started. Little Red Schoolhouse pods of social gatherings for simple learning and some technology for research. After some of the "Rs" have been achieved, maybe students will move from 8th grade to Trade School and later maybe college or some variance of this of their own choosing, but it will be better because it has been simplified for the people with less governmental interference or the people won't play. That is how I see Pluto in Quarius expressing until almost 2040 . We are entering a rejuvenating, uplifting phase - very beautiful.
How can I be almost looking forward to this next 6 months after your poetic prophetic charming reconciling rendition with words & images of what is & has been the experience of prolonged almost-but-never-given-death/hell, to recent promises of imminent rebirth, & now to see it as ok (even a relief) to sink back into where unnamed prolonged agony taunted me so long, accompanied only by my lonely fevered prayers. Could it be this time will help bring a balm to even those past times as I tread with increasing sure-footedness onwards & backwards but ever further along this long road home?
Thank You Christopher ❤🍀🙏🏽
OMG! I needed to hear this so much!! It totally makes sense to me and I now understand why I’ve been feeling like this for so long. Christopher, thank you so much for explaining this meaning of Pluto and this upcoming retrograde period. I’m so grateful to you! 🙏🏻💕
I'm so glad that this week's horoscope resonated with you Beacon of Light. 😊
Once again you explain so well the dynamics of the moment. I decided to try to figure out why I almost died when I discovered Astrology and Pluto. With ♑️ sun, Mercury and rising he has been having fun with me since that fateful time in 2018 - and my entire world has transformed since he entered Cap in 2008.
Thank you for this wonderful, entertains, informing lecture. Pluto is retrograding back to conjunct my Venus and I found your lecture helpful.🙏💕🕉
minute 35 on is so poignant - life on earth is about "working with" the transits - with my grand square in the last 4 cardinal degrees this last path of Pluto through my 5th having squared my moon, then Sun and now Mercury and Neptune it has been a roller coaster. Working with transformation I am reminded of the song "Immortality" by the Bee Gees, sung by Celine Dion. th-cam.com/video/bZolfKgW5Is/w-d-xo.html
I have Sun and Moon conjunct Pluto in Libra, I’m sooooo slow at everything I do. Although my mind goes a million miles a minute 😵💫.
A positive is that I’ve always had a powerful impact on a lot of people in my life. & experienced MANY death and rebirth’s🤍
I swaer to goodness. Every time I listen to you, it seems as if you are speaking directly to me. Last time Plito entered Capricorn, my husband of 30 years walked away from the family. He moved thousands of miles away. After a 6 month period, I decided that I could either stop living or move forward. I moved forward. Took a promotion at work, took another one, bought a car, got my house in order, and now, I am my own woman about to retire. Along the past 8 yrs, life has happened, and I dealt with each occurrence by myself! So, i say to Pluto, come on ,dude." I am nowva different person, and I am smarter, braver, and stronger than I was the last time you entered my life. Thank you ,Christopher. I have been dreading Pluto again. But after your talk, I realize that I have nothing to fear.
Colorful and meaningful helpful and yet bittersweet. My natal pluto is exactly conjunct natal Venus in a stellium with Lilith sun Mercury and south node in Leo 11th house.
It’s very familiar story of transformation of my life through or including all I have loved. Death and rebirth long periods of time readjusting and then it happens again. Leaving everything behind changes with the pluto transits are always serious but it’s become a lifting up process making me move into areas that helped me achieve freedom from pain and acceptance of God as my guiding light and help all through my life.
Since Saturn and Neptune are conjunct in my first house natally I thank God they are positive influences to my pluto/Venus transformative influences.
I have lived with this story my entire life ..I have Pluto/ Venus/ Ceres/ Persephone and Mars all gathering around my Leo Ascendant ❤
Thank you Soooo much for this wonderful teaching about Pluto. I learned so much and can see that my last trip to the underworld was when I lost my mom, 2 1/2 years ago. I am in the painful Ascent process now. It really helps to see my journey in the light of a journey to Hades. It validates the ordeal. I would like to say to others out there who are not sure they can make the journey back, that being broken doesn't mean necessarily that a greater wholeness is not possible. In fact, I have been broken many times and have become more whole as a result. I like to think of it as Elizabeth Lesser calls it in the title of her book, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Is Grow. Christopher, I do appreciate the lack of judgement you communicate regarding the outcome of the trip to Hades... and, for me trusting the process does help me to be open to the possibilities in the Ascent and return. Of course, there are also times when I have questioned whether I would survive and whether I would want to continue. At those times, being honest about how I am feeling is as important as the times when I feel better about the process and can trust this transformational time. Hope this is helpful. 🌺🌺🌺
I hope this will end for ever...this Pluton in Cap, where my Sun Chiron and Rahu is placed. Rahu in 24 degree conjunted to Chiron.
Having an illegal amount (4) of planets in Pluto, I can personally describe the planet as the butterfly. One must go into the underworld (Chrysalis) to find solitude, to process the necessary change to emerge (butterfly) into the new light in a more knowledgeable, beautiful way. The butterfly knows this and embraces the beauty of the new world with excitement as it flutters it's wings without fear for it understands that without the process life cannot emerge in a new way. Do not fear pluto but embrace the butterfly.
Thank you Christopher. Had to smile I kept thinking so pluto/hades owned his arse! Just how I've felt as pluto swings back and forth on the sun in ♑ and moon in ♒ in my natal! It's about time I smiled!
I guess there's not perfect part of self to leave in the underworld🙂 What a wonderful narration, dear Christopher - absolutely love the history in the story, and the upside of the downside....Thank you!
IM DECEMBER CAPRICORN,CANCER MOON,RISING AQUARIUS, I HAVE NO FEAR!!!! BRING IT ON !!!! I WAS BORN READY
My experience of Hades is kind of like the Robin Williams character in Good Will Hunting, or like an old alcoholics anonymous sponsor. Ain't nothing you can say he ain't heard.
These last decades with Pluto in Sag my sun Capricorn 9th and now Aquarius in 10 opp natal Pluto and moon. Phew lots of Soul transformations
Love your stories and interpretations of the planets and myths, Christopher! With NN conjunct Pluto conjunct the MC in WS 11th house / Virgo, I really relate to this..Thank you! ❤👏😎☀️🌎🌝🙏🪷
Oh my gosh I just made my morning coffee it’s Brisbane it’s semi early and I’ve woken up to you. I’m so excited I can’t wait
Aqua rising here: we had pluto in aquarius for 2 months. so it was a preview of what we get next year. I felt a heavy waight when pluto was in my ascendent. and bossy people.Also people stalking and demanding what i should do. i am not ready for that pluto transiting for 20 years in my ascendent. so now when its back in capricorn i have a litle rest in my job and everywhere.
Thank you! Loved this for many reasons! Especially the persons butt with just two pieces of skin!
Please share with me your thoughts on my moon, rising and Pluto at 7° of Libra? This time difference???
Exactly, why doesn’t it just leave? Too much gloom and doom in Capricorn.
Thank you for this full and wise perspective on Pluto. Transformation ... one way or another!
Fantastic✅ astrology on a deeper level.
Get it 🤸
Thank you Christopher 🙏
Profound…and so relatable on so many levels Christopher- Thank you❤
