Pluto will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Capricorn on Thursday. There's always a lot going on. But this event will dominate the week, beneath the surface.  There's nothing scary about this!

Take the small plants that I and other gardeners are setting out at this time.  They don't do much at first.  In fact, some of them seem quite pissed off . Some even pull an "I'm gonna die" act.    But soon after, their roots drill down in search of that which will sustain them.

The next thing you know, the little plants aren't little anymore.  A month later, you're not only eating the fruit, you're putting it up and you're feeding your friends and neighbors, all thanks to the hard work beneath the surface.

With Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, it's a good time to work in secret.  This is so necessary for the health of anything, and I'll give you another example.

Last week I wrote about having blogged for nearly twenty years.  There have been a lot of changes during this time frame.

Periodically, I have to dig in the back-end of the site to keep it modernized for search engines. I also have to delete content to keep a handle on the size of the database for various reasons. If I were to neglect these tasks, my blog would suffer.

If you want to thrive and have the people and things thrive around you, completing inglorious tasks is part of the equation.

If you do find yourself struggling, check out the details, dates and degrees of Pluto retrograde and direct stations through 2024.  It might help to consider your situation in the big picture.
