Making Friends With the Dark Goddess: A Pluto Transit Deep Dive
"The dark becomes frightening and destructive only when we deny and disown it." - Demetra George, Mysteries of the Dark Moon: The Healing Power of the Dark Goddess
Every transit of Pluto presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to heal past trauma, release what we’ve outgrown, and step into a new level of vitality, power and purpose.
And yet… We’ve been taught to fear the dark – the mysterious parts of ourselves hidden in the subconscious. We’ve been taught to resist change, to distrust our feelings and passions when they prompt us to move in seemingly impractical or irrational directions.
We’ve been taught that surrender means helplessness, that control will keep us safe, and that analysis and perfect planning are the only way to get what we want.
And thus… When people see Pluto coming to visit their chart, and know that an Underworld journey is imminent, they often react with anxiety and dread.
In this three-part workshop, you’ll take a deep dive into the transits of Pluto, with a special focus on Pluto in Capricorn and Aquarius. You’ll learn the deeper meaning and purpose of Pluto’s activation of houses and planets in your chart, and how you can work with these transits for healing and growth.
We’ll start with the premise that every astro-influence is your best friend and supporting your highest evolution – yes, even and maybe especially Pluto. You’ll learn strategies for dancing with the Dark Goddess and free yourself from moldy old patriarchal assumptions about the dangers of descent.
To get the most from this workshop, you will need at least a basic understanding of the planets, signs, houses and aspects.
We cover:
1st class: we discuss the assumptions or stories that underlie our approach to astrology; the process of the Plutonian Underworld journey; and how to “prepare” for Pluto transits.
2nd class: we review the Plutonian process (what people are likely to experience during a Pluto transit) and then focus in on Pluto in Capricorn and Aquarius.
3rd class: we talk about the timing of Pluto transits, and get some hands-on practice working with past and upcoming Pluto transits in example charts.
Participants in the live class said:
“I totally loved the Pluto class. I loved how you first laid out your philosophical and metaphysical perspective on astrology. I thought it was such an important set up for the rest of what you had to say by first laying out your assumptions and making them explicit.”
“Your Pluto class has been insanely insightful - thank you!”
“This entire Pluto class resonates so much with me. Your perspective and knowledge is invaluable. You are a treasure to this world. Thank you for offering these classes.”
This class is offered on a sliding scale - thank you for contributing the amount that feels right to you.
