MARS SQUARE PLUTO (6th Sign to 9th Sign) - Exact Aug 17 2008
Brief description: I call this "the steamroller aspect". Steamrollers when used for the purpose intended are powerfully effective for flattening the surface to create a flat hard top for a new road. On a symbolic level it may indicate that those in a position of power may mow others down with greed and a severe competitive drive at the root of the intention. On a positive note, the objective is to accomplish a mission at all cost and pull out all stops. Therefore for those planning to take charge of life and redesign a new path, may succeed in erasing all existing remnants of the past or current setting to assure a new future. This combination allows for very serious strategic planning and allow one to cut a new design. Impatience shortchanges strategic plans that may affect failure. Speeders get speeding tickets. Overdrawn bank account. Pornography.
The physiological indications are for a necessary surgery; irritable bowl disorder. Psychological indications may include a fear of being "raked over hot coals"; obsessive drives and behaviors; some may experience a bout of paranoia with difficulty discriminating between reality and tricks of the mind. This may be true for those in positions of power who feel threatened by both insiders and outsiders. Deep nervous tension that is hard to sort through. Good day to process anger in your therapist's office. There are strong sexual urges with this combination. A strong drive for dramatic core change.
For personal use: Get serious about your future. Avoid allowing strong sexual urges to interfere with your primary objective. This is a time for personal transformation. Access your own power and reflect on help from those in positions of power but do not approach them unless you are the one in a powerful seat. Break out of the grip of the monkey on your back.
For business use: Things to avoid are annoying symbols of greed and misuse of others finances. Proceed only if you are well prepared. Dig deep and plan to cut new fabric.

This moon period can hold both gentle and forceful energy. Neptune the god of the sea, rules Pisces can be divinely spiritual or filled with upheaval when enraged.

There may be a presence of strong feelings of faith combined with a need to make a spiritual connection. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic period; people can be overly sensitive and feel victimized. At times when feeling overly frustrated and misunderstood, striking out at others turns the victim into the victimizer as with the wounded puppy syndrome.

On a mundane level, there may be all sorts of sneaky behavior behind the scenes and misrepresentations. You may become aware of secrets. Clandestine affairs love a Pisces Moon. Elect to work behind the scenes for tasks requiring solitude. Intuition runs high; so trust your gut feelings. Music can be used as a tool to alter moods. Practice meditation, yoga and prayer. Create something poetic and be open to receive inspiration. Help someone -- service and sacrifice is Pisces' middle name and it helps with any tendency toward self pity.
