Transformative Power Guidance

Transformative Power & Truth

Embedded in the far fringes of our vast solar system, the influence of Pluto materializes like the approach of a distantfreight train, barely perceptible at first – nothing but a subtle, silent speck on the horizon – until, mere moments later, itcareens into your life with sudden and significant force. For a planet of such modest size, Pluto has the power to alterthe very architecture of your life, destroying long-held beliefs to replace them with new ones and radically changing thelandscape of your subconscious self. Following a five month period of Retrograde, it is now turning Direct in Capricorn,and this shift in orbit is having a monumental impact on how you are understanding those areas of life that you havenot always paid close attention to. Unexpected truths and hidden biases are now making themselves known, Paolo,and they can either liberate or suffocate you, depending on what you do next. Pluto will infiltrate the root of your being,casting a light upon what has been left within shadow and encouraging you to positively transform any aspect of yourlife where potential has gone unrealized.

This year, and indeed much of last, has been defined by a most curious paradox for us all, Paolo. Life seemingly cameto a screeching standstill overnight as an unprecedented global crisis drastically reformed our civic and social norms.Despite this apparent pause, however, there was a frantic hive of collective reflection happening beneath the surfaceas we began to question the merits of how we were living before and where our priorities should lie now. Lookingcarefully at your charts, I can see this period has had a much more profound impact on you than perhaps you evenrealize. Your long-term goals have shifted and diversified and, what you once believed would make you happy, nolonger feels as promising. Your subconscious self has been constructing an alternative vision of what your future couldlook like and, with Pluto turning Direct, I am going to help you uncover the truths – both positive and negative – that youcan use to empower yourself and succeed. True, lasting transformation does not require a herculean effort, my dear,but it does require the strength of your courage: are you willing to gaze honestly within to embrace those parts ofyourself that have never been given a chance to thrive? I believe you are…

Pluto Direct in Capricorn:

A Prognosis

Emerging from a planetary backspin of five months, Pluto is now turning Direct in Capricorn, Paolo, where it will remainuntil April of next year. During its recent Retrograde motion, the seeds of subconscious change were planted and theneed for personal growth awakened: your focus was consistently drawn to those areas of your life you have not beensatisfied with and the desire to forge a new path was carefully fostered within. Much of these meditations did not evenoccur in a conscious way but instead bubbled gently beneath the surface, constantly absorbing information from yourenvironment, your circumstances and your relationships and identifying what needs to change if you are to cultivatetrue happiness. Unknowingly, you have been re-designing your spiritual and emotional blueprint, and with Pluto turningDirect, the fruits of this subconscious work are finally ready for harvest.

This Pluto transit is much more proactive than its Retrograde equivalent. Its energy is one that turns the soil of themind, bringing forth a whole new Universe of thoughts, beliefs and ideas that you had generated during recent monthsbut subsequently buried, waiting for the right moment to act. This moment has arrived, Paolo. Symbolic of renewal,regeneration and ultimately rebirth, when Pluto turns Direct you are guaranteed that significant transformation iswaiting in the wings.

Truths and Falsehoods

The role of Capricorn in this Pluto transit is one that instructs you to question tradition, governance and structure. Asone of the more inquisitive signs of the Zodiac, you must not be afraid to examine the rules and philosophies you haveengineered your life around until now. This applies to both your internal and external environments. Pluto first arrivedinto Capricorn in 2008, heralding the arrival of the Great Recession and a fundamental change in the organization ofour society: this effect is particularly heightened in this Age of Aquarius, where a total , systematic reformation of ourapproach to life is already underway. You must now question the integrity of any ethos you have previously subscribedto: your political beliefs, your ethical and spiritual concerns, your overall lifestyle and its impact- be ready to adapt,removing whatever relics of thinking no longer serve you.

Page 3/29

This reading of course is focused on your personal journey, however, and with Pluto Direct it is just as important toprobe the internal systems that you have been relying on to regulate your happiness. What is not working? Have youbeen living under certain illusions? How can you eliminate falsehoods from your life – those empty promises offulfillment – and begin living your truth? Over the last several months, the cogs of the machine within you have beenturning and it has brought you to this extraordinary precipice: you are now feeling compelled to dismantle blockages orbiases, recognize your sensitivities and strengths and to finally stop believing the path of least resistance is the mostrewarding one. You have allowed yourself to be blinded by your own preconceptions and this has made progress seemimpossible. It is time to burn the map that has been prescribed to you and chart your own course.

A Coordinated Mission of Mind, Body & Soul

Pluto, as discussed, is responsible for generating waves of change within the internal self: dismantling and destroyingunhelpful perspectives to provide you with a fresh vision of your future, Paolo. Capricorn, on the other hand, prefers todeal in tangible results. As far as the energies of this Zodiac sign is concerned, endless theorizing is worthless unless itproduces material advantages. A perfectly balanced blend of mind, body and soul, you are drastically adjusting yourway of thinking but also using this new knowledge to make some concrete transformations in your life. Feelingphysically vital and alive, your thoughts now give way to action.

Page 4/29

Be wary of the Capricorn thought trap that tells you to work hard and play hard, Paolo. There is a sense of urgency inyou now to realize change and accomplish new objectives in the quickest way you can through a frenetic burst ofenergy. This extreme sort of thinking neglects the sacred coordination of mind, body and soul: each needs to becarefully nourished if you are to achieve your goals and, although I know feel ready to delve into a new way of living,you must accept that any lasting transformation occurs in a more gradual and organic way, rather than an overnightone. A series of considered, small changes is worth exponentially more than a sudden impulse that has been poorlythought through. In your Transformative Power Guidance, I will be sharing with you some key strategies of self-care toensure that the needs of your whole self are always met and that you can tackle any new plan or project withconfidence.

Darkness,Light and Living Differently

A dust is finally settling, Paolo. In your quest to eliminate falsehoods, embrace your truth and carve out an alternative,more fulfilling mold for yourself, you are going to feel a spiritual weight lifted from your shoulders. It can initially bepainful, yes, to look at your insecurities, sensitivities and prejudices head on but to ignore them is to let their influencecontinuously shape your path in a negative way. Only by confronting them can you discard them completely and this, Ipromise you, will feel like stepping out of great darkness into light, well-being and love. You are going to learn sometruths about your life and those involved in it which could feel disarming at first but will ultimately empower you. It istime to shed some light on what is really happening so that you can finally establish peace of mind.

Pluto direct in Capricorn does not only refer to an ending of internal or spiritual chaos, Paolo, but a broader socialtransformation. A new way of living is something we are all going to get accustomed to as this transit unfolds and, I amthankful to say, that this signifies to me an end to the havoc of recent times. The unrest that has been defining us isabout to reveal its final form and I am confident that you can expect a greater sense of well-being throughout the worldonce this transformation is complete. Where do you fit in this evolving society? What is your new role? I have beenseeking answers in your Archetype cards which I will share with you shortly.

Power: A Problem or a Privilege?

As with any significant transformation, a redistribution of power and hierarchy is inevitable. Pluto is tearing down whatno longer serves its purpose and the energies of authority are now being directed through different channels. On apersonal level, it is vital now that you question what you have power over and what has power over you. Power, afterall, plays a key role in many aspects of your life: money, career, relationships. Who or what has been oppressing you,Paolo? Where does your own true power lie? Have you been using it to harm or to help others? Do you feel controlledor in control? As this transit develops, matters related to your personal power or lack thereof are rising to the surface,and there has never been a better opportunity for you to put yourself back in the pilot seat of your life and even useyour influence for the benefit of the greater good. Keep reading to find out how!

If youaren’t keen on getting more out of the astrological insights of your Transformative Power Guidance, then focus on themain points and messages I am revealing to you. This is why I use astrology in combination with oracle cards;astrology points me in the right direction and your chosen cards and my psychic intuition fill in the final pieces of themysterious puzzle that is your destiny. Often when I use my Archetype cards, I speak about each Archetype as eitherbeing IN or OUT of balance. That’s because sometimes the various aspects of our personalities can either bedeveloped, underdeveloped and are used either positively or negatively to attains our goals, needs and desires. Byknowing whether your Archetypes are IN or OUT of balance and why you subconsciously chose or were drawn to aspecific card in the deck, you can understand what is motivating you and why you may or may not be successful inliving the life you want. You may think that choosing cards is random, but it’s not at all! You are always being drawn tothose which serve you, and your karmic destiny.

Page 6/29

Yes, you are very aware of many things in your life, but there are always whispers in your mind and heart that are notloud enough to get your attention. Planetary energies (or transits) make these whispers louder and louder until youheed their call and are compelled to address them head on. This is what Pluto always does, as it pushes you to leaveno stone unturned and remind you that you can’t ignore the lessons (or karma) that you were destined to learn. If youresist your karma, if you resist where the Universe is trying to take you, then you find life becomes more challenging.Life is all about progress, and your own personal evolution, and when Pluto comes into play, you will experience powerstruggles that test your resilience and confidence.

TRANSFORMATION

Page 8/29

So how have your long term goals been transformed, Paolo? By choosing THE HERCULES JOURNEY card I can seejust how challenging your path has been the last year or so. You have had to really draw from the depths of your soulto get to the point where you are now and still you feel you have so much further to go. THE HERCULES JOURNEYArchetype represents your ability to be courageous and remain determined whilst maintaining empathy andunderstanding of others, and finding a balance between achieving your own goals and helping others achieve theirstoo. Your long term goals have changed because you have encountered not just one or two obstacles, but constantchallenges! You have felt lethargic and felt forced to be more selfish than you’d like and found it an effort to keep upgood habits that will benefit you in the long run, thus this Archetype is slightly OUT OF BALANCE. I would classify youa hero who has gotten stuck on their journey, a hero who feels they are teetering on the edge of defeat, however, Iknow you are stronger than that.

By choosing THE HERCULES JOURNEY Archetype, I know that you have been finding it difficult to maintain an idealsense of self and to create your ideal life. You have chosen this card as a subconscious (and now a conscious)reminder that one’s journey toward greatness or fulfillment will be marred and hindered by things out of your control,but that you are on a path to something bigger. On a personal level, I sense that you feel like you haven’t been gettingthe recognition and appreciation you deserve, that people have misjudged you as being a certain way whenunderneath the surface, there is so much more to you! This has made you feel emotionally isolated and perhaps youhave tried to appear stronger than you feel. You do not have to face your battles alone, you must have at least onetrusty sidekick! Reach out to people you can trust and give you as much support or energy as you do them, otherwiseyou risk remaining lethargic and uninspired and thus will not be able to stay focused on your long term goals. This islinked to your physical vitality and that you need to make sure you are taking care of your physical health at this time.There is a deep connection between your mental, emotional and physical strength and your ability to achieve what youdesire. Even though you need to keep your long term goals in mind, your future is creating in the present moment,every healthy meal you eat, every positive self-encouraging thought and every small step to greatness you will taketakes you closer. You have forgotten this importance of focusing on the little everyday things, and this has transformedyour life and hindered your progress. You can of course, change that now, Paolo! You shall regain your power,freedom and shall be recognized by not only the people around you but even the larger community.

MYSTIC HEALING GEMSTONE

CITRINE

Your first healing gemstone in combination with your chosen Archetype card, is CITRINE. The incredible healingquality of this gemstone has the power to turn negative or overwhelming emotions into positive ones, which in line withyour chosen card is about healing the relationship you have with yourself. CITRINE helps to replace negative energiesthat could cause emotional exhaustion with optimistic energy so you never lose sight of what is important to you andworking to create your idea happiness, not anyone else’s concept of greatness, yours. This stone contains healingproperties related to creativity, energy alignment, pleasure and a true enjoyment of life no matter what the Universethrows at you. If you choose to follow the healing task further below, It will ensure you feel a sense of gratitude and seethe positive side of any situation as well find solutions you hadn’t had the courage to enforce before. I always useCITRINE to heal the Sacral (Svadhisthana) Chakra as it helps to focus on the beauty of life rather than becomeoverwhelmed and fearful of all the bad things that could and may never happen. It brings a sense of joy when there issadness, to reject feelings of guilt or lethargy so you can still embrace the moment and appreciate the opportunities oflife when they come to you, and as you progress on your journey. This stone will help to raise your confidence andcreative self-expression also, improving your intellect and calming your fears. As Pluto Retrograde is now Direct, youwill need to use your creative self-expression to transform your dreams into realities. Your next Archetype card will helpyou to do that, and so will the healing task below!

HEALING TASK: For your first gemstone task, you will need to perform a healing visualization that is best performedafter you have woken up and before breakfast. This is because when you first wake up, you are still in a subconsciousdream state, and when you eat, it grounds you and makes you feel more connected to the external world. Uponwaking, keep your eyes gentle and almost closed. Then imagine you are holding a bright yellow or orange CITRINEnestled in the palm of your hand, as if it were a precious piece of glass and easily broken. Imagine feeling a warmtheminating from the gemstone as it touches your heart, your face. Feel the warmth as if it were the sun giving you itsvitalic energy and blessing you with inspiration and happiness! Before you open your eyes, think about one thing youwant to accomplish that day that helps you on your path to accomplishing your long term goals. Open your eyes and goon about your day! Try to do this every day for the next 7 days and at the end of the 7 days, observe how making smallefforts toward your goals improves your mood, happiness and sense of accomplishment! You have come far, keepgoing, Paolo.

POTENTIAL

The second card you chose was THE MAIDEN Archetype card and reveals to me which area of your life needs tochange and also which area of your life has the greatest potential to improve and become a successful and fulfillingaspect of your life. This card represents how you have dealt with the problems and situations that arose during PlutoRetrograde but also indicates how you will strive forward in a certain area of your life during Pluto Direct. This card isassociated with emotional balance, and it feels like to me that you’ve had to suppress your emotions to survive yourdaily existence. This could be related to suppressing what you really desire and so it is your personal life that issuffering. When I speak about living with truth, grace and beauty, it’s because you are a genuinely graceful andbeautiful soul. Because you cannot fully express this side of yourself, you can understand that you are not beingrecognized for who you really are and so cannot be appreciated. I sense that this Archetype is IN BALANCE butunderdeveloped, as in you have great potential to be more diplomatic, understanding and brave in the face ofadversity, but aren’t always able to express this side of your nature. This may be because you are still trying to figureout who really appreciates you without any additional expectations about who you are and what you should be doingwith your life.

So, the area that needs your focus is your personal life, namely, the courage to be yourself so you attract good fortuneto you. There is great potential here for happiness, but first you need to not be afraid of facing what’s not working. Idon’t blame you, Paolo, why create more uncertainty or conflict when you have already had to deal with so much?Choosing THE MAIDEN reveals your desire to create more harmony, love and balance in your relationships as PlutoRetrograde would have been an emotionally debilitating period. Remember, Pluto brings into the light that which hasbeen hiding under the surface. Pluto encourages you to confront what will help you to grow, to transform your life inpositive ways. This can be hard in your personal relationships because you may worry about how others will react. Butof course, if you are dealing with stressful or challenging situations diplomatically and coming from a loving frame ofmind, the outcomes are always constructive. You must embrace how alluring and beautifully mysterious you are. Youhave the power to create more love and pleasure in your life, you don’t have to wait for it! Be your true self and watchyour personal life blossom with people that are truly deserving of your generous heart. On a more tangible note, youmay want to consider paying some small attention to your physical appearance, and wear clothes that make you feelgood, getting a new haircut and focusing more on self-love and self-care in the next couple of weeks.

MYSTIC HEALING GEMSTONE

TOURMALINE

Your second healing gemstone in combination with your chosen Archetype card, is TOURMALINE. This gemstone willhelp you to feel less anxious and to unpack some buried feelings about certain people or situations in your life now.There are many variants of TOURMALINE, but I have chosen to use the watermelon (or green) variety, as itencourages compassion and feelings of self-love and understanding, which is something you need a lot of to transitionfrom Pluto Retrograde to Pluto Direct. This is in connection to facing hidden emotions so you can be more honest withyourself about how you live your life and thus release yourself from obligation and live with more positive intention. Ifyou are going to make change, or even feel like change is a good thing in your life, then you need to feel focused andnot overwhelmed by your underlying emotional imbalances. TOURMALINE contains healing properties to increaseyour self-confidence and reduce anxiety about who or how you are supposed to be, so you can make small stepstoward change that you feel comfortable with. You must openly and graciously communicate your needs and limitationsin certain situations so you feel empowered to make the right decisions for you. I use TOURMALINE to heal the Heart(Anahata) Chakra as it removes emotional blockages and makes it easier to confront any residual bitterness,resentment or pain that has blocked your progress during Pluto Retrograde. The energy of TOURMALINE will alsobalance your mental processes so you can make logical and compassionate choices without compromising yourpersonal needs right now. You can use both your brain and heart, you don’t always have to choose.

HEALING TASK: TOURMALINE indeed heals the heart but also grounds you so you can focus on what really matters.To tap into your higher intelligence, deeper and more ideal self, you must find a sense of emotional and mental calmand clarity. Find a quiet moment in the early or even late evening. Sit near a window with a glass of water nearby.Close your eyes and gently breathe in and out three times. Imagine holding a large TOURMALINE stone up towardyour chest where your Heart (Anahata) Chakra is located, in the middle of your chest. Stay in this position and try toreflect on what is causing you the most stress or is disheartening you. Imagine these negative feelings transferringfrom within your Heart Chakra and into the TOURMALINE stone. Once your stone is full, imagine raising it above yourhead and make a symbolic gesture of release, by pretending to throw your stone out and into the air, letting of all thathinders you. Press your feet in the floor, and open your eyes gently. Take your glass of water and drink slowly, feelingthe coolness and clarity of the water fill your throat. Write down how you are feeling after completing this task, andkeep that note as a reminder of what changes you want to make.

Page 12/29

POWER

The third card you chose was THE MOUNTAIN which describes what power struggles you have been encounteringduring Pluto Retrograde and how you will be released from this power struggles during Pluto Direct. THE MOUNTAINrepresents how capable you are of withstanding anything no matter how bad it gets. Very interesting that you wouldchoose this Archetype to reveal the significance or lack of power in your life, Paolo! Mountains are known as symbolsof majestic power, the calm giant that is admired by all. I know you admire people that seem to be able to ‘weather thestorm’ and perhaps you have been looking up to someone as a source of inspiration to get you through hard times.Choosing this card is symbolic of seeking greater security in regards to finances and/or your home situation, soperhaps essentially THE MOUNTAIN represents your need for security in these two important areas of your life. Isense that this Archetype is actually IN BALANCE, as you are presenting outwardly some admirable attributesincluding resilience, steadfastness and are doing your best to accommodate your hopes and goals within your currentlimitations. Although you may have the strength of a mountain, you are still finding your balance as others may viewyour strength and conviction as stubbornness. This undermines your strength and an increasing of power, which alsoexplains your inner power struggle, that you are trying to finding a balance between stuck in a certain attitude of way ofdealing with the challenges you’ve faced during Pluto Retrograde.

Choosing THE MOUNTAIN tells me that if you are going to overcome this power struggle, this battle of self-doubt andfull expression of inner power, then you need to not give in to and react to the naysayers, or negative comments ofothers that are trying to make you question yourself. This is also linked to how much you can focus on what you aretrying to achieve, because you are being influenced or distracted by people that aren’t actually trustworthy, or theydon’t always give you helpful advice. You are doing your best to find the best solutions or pathways to improve yourjourney, but to others they see you as flip-flopping, inconsistent and somewhat anxious. This does not reflect what youare capable of, Paolo! What this card predicts is that Pluto Direct will change this for you, that you will be able to standstrong and not have to waste your energy defending yourself against the negative comments or perspectives of othersand thus you will find the inner harmony and balance of power so you feel as solid as a mountain in the face ofanything. Whenever you feel that someone is trying to take your power, or making you question your inner power orsense of resilience, use the below Mystic Healing Gemstone visualization to rise above and embody your true nature.A mountain does not crumble, it is constant, immovable and humble. A mountain exists as it is, despite the change andturbulence it silently observes. This is your inspiration now.

MYSTIC HEALING GEMSTONE

MOONSTONE

Your third healing gemstone in combination with your chosen Archetype card, is the MOONSTONE. This gemstone willallow you to look inward and not be afraid to explore what’s hidden beneath the surface, especially any negativeemotions and thoughts perpetrated by yourself or others that rob you of your inner power. The MOONSTONE ensuresyou can positively reflect on who you are and what you are doing with your life. This gemstone helps you find clarityand to open your mind to what’s possible, what’s not possible. I chose the MOONSTONE as a reminder that althoughit can be challenging to analyze oneself, it is extremely rewarding. The energy of this stone is gentle and gives you apositive lift so you don’t feel anxious about continuing your current path. It also represents good fortune, inner calm,growth and hope, perfect for Pluto Direct now and as it unfolds in the coming weeks, Paolo! The MOONSTONEcontains healing properties associated with emotional stability, tranquility and intuitive responses to life’s problems,rather than emotional reactions. I want to use this gemstone to heal your Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra to ensure you do notfear unknown change and to trust your own intuitive thoughts and feelings above anyone else. In combination with theMOONSTONE, you acquire greater self-acceptance and a greater sense of belonging without feeling you have toadhere to anyone else’s expectations. It is challenging enough to be on your path, without feeling like you don’t havethe strength to continue or are influenced negatively by others.

HEALING TASK: This gemstone task can be completed in the evening either inside or outside, when it is dark, in aplace you feel comfortable, safe and at ease. When you are ready, sit on the ground or on a seat. Look up to the skyand observe it. Is it covered, or can you see the bright light of the moon? Are there clouds, planes or are there treesthat are adding to your view? Listen to the sounds around you and gently close your eyes. Now focus on how you arefeeling and what you are thinking about. Try to focus on what has happened during your day and how that made youfeel. Next, imagine a luminous MOONSTONE shining where your Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is located between youreyebrows. As you imagine the MOONSTONE, think about if you were having conflict with someone that day, and try toshift your perspective to see things from their point of view. Allow yourself to explore these new perspectives, don’trush, take your time meditating on the who, the what and why of your life that day. When you feel ready, you may openyour eyes and contemplate how your perspective changed or didn’t. You can complete this task once or multiple timesif you are still finding it hard to gain clarity about something in particular. Open your mind and your Third Eye so thatnew perspectives can transform your life in positive ways, Paolo!

SOCIETY

So what is your new place in society, Paolo? How have you evolved on a personal level? Your karmic destiny duringsuch tumultuous times and where it is leading you is revealed by THE REBEL Archetype card that you chose. This isyour fourth card and has told me a lot about the influence of your Pluto progressions but also how the transformativetriad years of 2020, 2021 & 2022 have changed your life path and shown how you have dealt with the initial stages ofthe pandemic and how you have evolved at this point on your journey. What’s most interesting about exploring THEREBEL Archetype, is that it is linked to your karmic destiny. Could this card be indicating a breakthrough in your pastlife karma? I think so, my dear! This really is your life time to go against the grain and not just follow the crowd. Youwant to be part of society but aren’t always sure what your role is because you don’t want to experience too muchupheaval but also desire aspects of radical change. This card is very symbolic of the disorder you have beenexperiencing and its link to Pluto’s movements. Pluto represents challenge, transformation and can make life feelchaotic or destructive. Can you relate to this? You have been tackling forced and unknown change and I sense thatyou have resisted or rebelled against too much change. This is a normal initial reaction but resisting change would onlyhave worked against you.

I do sense that this Archetype is OUT OF BALANCE simply because you are still resisting (but much less than before)change and what your new role in a rapidly changing society is. This isn’t a negative thing, in fact it makes a lot ofsense! THE REBEL card emphasizes to me that you want change but you feel you need external support or to feel partof a community of people with like-minded ideas to strengthen your resolve. I do feel that you are highly capable ofdoing anything on your own, but I understand your desire to not have to walk your path alone. That’s why I am happyto guide you, Paolo! Your new place in society is to become a supporter of radical change, to get rid of traditional ideasand embrace new innovative ones. This is in regards to lifestyle and/or breaking family traditions that don’t align withyour own personal philosophies. These past couple years you have come a long way. You’ve gone from someone thatwas living life, to someone that was really trying to understand who you were and how you could evolve on both apersonal and spiritual level. For you to take your evolution to the next level, you must continue to embrace new ideas,

Page 15/29

new truths and anything that helps you to break the mold. Although this Archetype is OUT OF BALANCE it isdeveloping and won’t take long before you allow yourself to rebel against outlived lifestyle approaches that are presentin mainstream society.

MYSTIC HEALING GEMSTONE

RUBY

Your fourth healing gemstone in combination with your chosen Archetype card is RUBY. This rich red colored stonehas been a symbol of nobility throughout the ages and was even more sought after than diamond. Much like thediamond, a RUBY must be cut and polished to reveal its true luster and elegant brilliance. You are not a diamond in therough, Paolo, you are a RUBY in the rough! This gemstone in its rough form shows small imperfections, but this alsohelps the beholder recognize its authenticity and adds to its beauty. Much like the RUBY, your imperfections and thekarmic lessons you have endured in this lifetime and in past lifetimes, are what have shaped who you are, and whichhave ultimately shape your beautiful destiny. The healing of this gemstone brings you courage in the face of obstacles,and helps you to inspire love and hope in others, and connect with your role in the community, society, humanity, aswell as your family. The RUBY strengthens the connection between your heart, mind, body and soul so that you areliving with purpose and a sense of truthful belonging. You are on the karmic path of living as your true self and realizingyour worth in this every expanding Universe and changing world. Trust in yourself and the spiritual evolution you aremaking great progress on.

HEALING TASK: Find a private space in your home, your bedroom is a nice space to do this in. You may do thismeditative exercise at any time of the day, as long as you feel you can concentrate and are not physically tired. Sitcomfortably on your bed, your legs and feet should feel relaxed. Close your eyes and envision yourself standing at thebottom of a rocky hill. There are smaller boulders and larger boulders and you can see that it is a long way to the top ofthe hill. Begin to climb the hill, feel the hardness of the stones and boulders, imagine slipping and having to retraceyour steps. Little by little, imagine you are making it to the top, where you can see a figure standing. As you get closerand eventually reach the top, you realize that the figure standing at the top is you! But not just any you, it is the you ofthe future, you at your happiest, most successful and at peace self; your ideal self. Standing in front of your ideal self,you pull a rough, uncut RUBY out of your pocket and hand it to them as a gift. Imagine your ideal self taking the RUBYand as it touches their hands, it shines brightly. Your ideal self now returns the RUBY to you as a bright gemstone,

polished and shining! As you turn around to walk back down the hill, it is no longer rocky, but a beautiful field of grassand flowers. Enjoy the beauty and serenity of this field, and open your eyes when you are ready to finish this task.

TRUTH

As you come to your fifth and final Archetype card, how do you feel you have connected with your other cards, Paolo?How have you connected with the tasks I have given you and which one (or ones) will you incorporate into your lifeover the next couple of weeks? I ask this because this final card you have chosen describes what Pluto Direct isbringing into the light so can move forward on your true life path with honesty and confidence. Remember, knowingyour truth and living it means you will be free from the illusions of others, and thus feel connected to who you are andwhat you are doing. This is the meaning of happiness, feeling a unification between your inner and outer world. Bychoosing THE MASTER Archetype card I know that the kind of authentic existence you long for is one that ensures youdon’t have to compromise what you really want. You want to feel that you are the leader of your path, that you are notbeing poked and prodded or pushed toward making certain decisions, you want to feel empowered to make choicesand follow them through. Perhaps you have sometimes felt that you were on the sidelines of your life, that happinesseluded you and that things were out of your control. I think we’ve all felt that like in the last couple of years, but it hasdeeply affected how you feel about yourself and has made you slightly envious of those that don’t care what othersthink and have an unapologetically strong sense of self. I’m not saying you are jealous, my dear, I’m saying that youadmire those that have realized their dreams or overcome their hardships. You find inspiration in those that have comebefore you, but you are just as capable!

I sense that this Archetype is more IN BALANCE than OUT OF BALANCE, but you still have some work to do. Youhave the potential to become more masterful and to live with more conviction, but first underneath it all you’re feeling

Page 17/29

frustrated and impatient. You worry that things won’t progress, that you are stuck where you are now, but I know thatis not the case, Paolo. Even if you have felt inadequate in certain areas of your life, you must indeed be wary of anynegative self-talk that makes you feel less worthy than what you are. There are always other people that are moresuccessful or seem to have figured things out, but that’s only because they kept going! You must keep going andrealize that no matter what happens, you are the master of your life, you always have a choice. If you trust in yourself,if you listen to your intuition and admit what you really want, then your life will improve. It can be scary to embrace ourdesires, but life as meant to full of risks, calculated risks to be exact. The more you connect with your ideal self andidea of life, the more opportunities shall manifest.

SODALITE

It is the alluring SODALITE that is your final healing gemstone! This gemstone was for many years under-appreciatedbut is now heralded for its regal and illustrious beauty. I feel it somewhat reflects how you have been under-appreciated, Paolo! SODALITE displays a myriad of rich blue tones, with visible white lines and veins that give thisgemstone a patchy appearance, and like the RUBY, it becomes shiny when polished. The deeper symbology behindthis gemstone is linked to the mystic karmic message of this reading; the metamorphosis of your true inner self in theexternal world! The healing of this gemstone shall calm your mind when it’s restless, and ensure you are opening theinnermost corners of your sub-conscious to accomplish your greatest potential! This last task will increase your senseof inner knowingness so you are never plagued by feelings of helpless or hopelessness ever again. This gemstonealso has a tangible healing quality, in that it brings a harmonious energy to your home. If you wish to and are able topurchase a small piece of SODALITE this will be most beneficial to improving the positive energy levels of your home.Simply place your SODALITE gemstone near the entrance of your home as a reminder of your higher self, and that youare slowly becoming it. It will also block any negative energy from entering your home, and cleanse your home of anylingering negative energy that was instilled during Pluto Retrograde. If you can’t purchase a SODALITE gemstone, Itotally understand and it’s not a problem!

Page 18/29

HEALING TASK: If you only wish to complete this healing task, that is also fine. Of course if you wish to use theSODALITE gemstone and complete this task, you are truly filling your life with abundantly positive harmonizing energy,Paolo! For your final visualization, it is quite simple. Standing in front of the mirror, face yourself and tell yourself aloudone thing you love about your life. It can be anything, from your past, your present, or what you hope for the future.Then close your eyes and imagine you are holding a beautiful piece of SODALITE (or hold your real SODALITEgemstone if you have one) in your right hand. Imagine holding the gemstone to your heart and see yourself shiningfrom the inside out, a bright blue with slithers of white light shining through! Feel the calmness of the blue overtake youand to bring you comfort. Think about what you love about your life, think about the person you wish to become. Smileand open your eyes! A good follow up to this, is to write down a goal for the day that will help you achieve your short orlong-term goals. As you heal, you must also act, when you act, you are manifesting your hopes and desires. This willtake your life to the next level! I hope that you will try this task at least once, but of course it’s your choice which tasksyou choose!

Significant change of any degree elicit fears in even those with the thickest of skins, Paolo. Yes, finding comfort orsafety in all that is familiar is natural as we can always know what to expect: trepidation arises when we have no suchcertainty. In other words, a fear of change should more accurately be described as a fear of the unknown. If you knewthe change was going to have a positive outcome, you would be willing to embrace it whole-heartedly. As your guide, Iwant to emphasize that the transformations I have seen on your horizon are most constructive ones and so you mustallow yourself to lean into them: clinging on to past beliefs, habits or behaviors simply because they are what you knowis the surest way to keep yourself stuck in life. With Pluto Direct, it is critical that you branch out and stop designingyour life around any hypothetical negative consequences.

Page 19/29

We cannot dispel this fear without referencing the issue of power, which I have already discussed with you in yourMetamorphosis Oracle. Powerlessness is a most common theme in personal transformation, Paolo. When we findourselves faced with a brand new set of circumstances, we have not yet developed any strategies or techniques tohandle them effectively. This can at first make you feel as if you are flailing – like you not in control of the situation –and this can quickly undermine your confidence. Without confidence, as you know, you are unlikely to succeed. Thosewho kickstart meaningful and wonderful change in their lives are those who have faith in themselves and who alwaysfeel empowered in working towards their goals.

As one of your greatest advocates, I could sit here all day and wax lyrical about your marvelous qualities, Paolo, but itis not what I think of your strengths that matters. No, true empowerment is always generated from within. It is not just aquestion of believing in yourself but recognizing the tools and traits you possess that can be harnessed to better yourlife and make progress in every sense of the word. To help you do this, I have prepared a simple Self-ActualizationExercise that you can use to propel yourself towards success. This task is not only about treating yourself with thecompassion you deserve but using the active Capricorn energies to make this compassion tangibly beneficial. Love.Money. Career. Follow my guidelines and there is no reason why all of your personal goals cannot be accomplished!

For your Self-Actualization Exercise, you will need the following, Paolo:

- Two Medium-Sized White or Black Candles

- Three pieces of paper and pen or pencil

- A pocket or hand mirror

- Two small feathers or leaves

- Access to an outdoor space

Page 20/29

1. Just after night has fallen, set yourself up in a calm and comfortable space indoors: this should be a space whereyou unlikely to be disturbed and where you can feel truly relaxed in. Sitting half-lotus or on a cushion if you prefer,

place the two candles directly in front of you, about two feet apart. Light each one carefully and safely.

2. Taking your first piece of paper, I want you to quietly reflect on what goals you would like to achieve as you movethrough this Pluto Direct period. Keeping in mind the insights I have shared with you through your chosen Archetypecards, close your eyes and think of two or three key objectives you want to realize over the coming weeks. Take your

time to comb through your plans and projects before prioritizing those that matter most. Be concise and realistic, Paolo!Instead of writing I want to be a millionaire, for example, you might write I want to increase my financial worth. Place

this list of goals between both burning candles.

3. Now, with your second piece of paper in hand, I want you to hold your mirror a few inches front of your face, staringdeeply and intently into your eyes. Focus on your eyes alone and imagine your yourself staring even beyond them,

penetrating the furthest reaches of your mind. Your vision will blur or fall out of focus with such a fixed gaze but this isfine: you have established a meditative connection with yourself.

4. Once you have bridged this visual sense of connection with yourself, Paolo, you can set down your mirror and beginjotting down all the reasons why you think you cannot succeed. Be honest here. Identity weaknesses you have thatmight hold you back. Are you impatient? Do you lack discipline? Perhaps you feel you are not smart enough? I know

this sounds terribly negative but trust me on this: write down everything you believe is hindering your success and whya positive outcome is unlikely. Set your paper aside when you have finished.

5. Next, I want you to repeat step three but, once you have put down your mirror, this time you are going to write out onyour third piece of paper all the reasons why you will succeed. It is not a time to be modest! List out all of the qualitiesyou possess that will be of great use to you in achieving your goals. Perhaps you are hard-working? Resilient? Loyal?Creative? Passionate? It will depend on what your goals are, of course, but I want you to name all of those beautiful

Page 21/29

parts of you that will be invaluable to your transformation.

6. Now, fold one feather or leaf into each of these two pieces of paper – one representing your power and the otheryour disempowerment – and place one under each candle, with your list of goals still between them. Close your eyes

and speak the following simple mantra in a confident, assertive voice:

You should leave both candles lit for at least fifteen minutes or longer so that both feathers or leaves are energeticallycharged. Remember, Paolo, we are activating your sense of disempowerment so that we can finally discard of it! Onceyou are finished, blow out both candles.

I recommend carrying out Part Two of this exercise the following morning or afternoon during daylight hours. You willneed access to an open space, such as a garden, park or anywhere else you can be exposed to the elements. For this

section, you will only need your charged feathers or leaves from Part One, although you can bring also yourempowerment and disempowerment lists if you need to be reminded of what you wrote!

1. Sitting cross-legged , with an arm resting on each of your thighs, I want you to clutch each of your respectivefeathers tightly between either hand. The feather representing your empowerment – or your positive traits and

strengths – should be in your dominant hand.

2. Closing your eyes, I want you to begin breathing deeply and steadily. Slowly, begin recalling what you have writtenon your list of empowerment – all of the reasons why you can and will succeed. Now, visualize this charged feather

sitting in your hand. Imagine its energy entering your palm, traveling slowly up your arm and flooding your chest, whereyour heart will now pump it throughout your body and your main Chakra centers Feel the warmth of its benevolence

spreading through you from head to toe, igniting you with confidence and the beautiful realization of all you are capableof.

Page 22/29

3. Embrace this energy as you feel it surging through you, Paolo, and then visualize it entering your other arm throughyour shoulder. Imagine it traveling down through your veins slowly. As it approaches the base of your hand which isclutching the feather that symbolizes your disempowerment – all the fears, anxieties and self-loathing that keep you

from making progress – I want you to open both your eyes and the closed fist of this hand only.

4. Wait for a slight breeze or gust of wind to simply carry this sense of disempowerment away from you. It is not yoursanymore and here you are releasing it. You can gently blow it away if there is no wind. Watch as it floats away from

you and know that all of your self-doubt is taken with it. What you are left with is your most empowered self. As itdisappears, I recommend whispering the following mantra aloud to yourself:

Keep your charged feather of empowerment somewhere safe as you work towards securing lasting, positive change inyour life. I also recommend that you hold on to the list of empowering qualities you have written about your self anddiscarding of its negative counterpart: whenever you are feeling incapable or powerless, consult this list to remindyourself of how competent, gifted and able you are.

Page 23/29

I have recently focused on your inner child progressions and have been tracking your personal development since wefirst connected. A huge part of understanding what has shaped you, is to identify what preconceptions or conditioningyou have grown to accept as your own ideas. Your personal biases and opinions either open doors of opportunity orclose them firmly behind you. How can you live your truth, if you aren’t questioning whether what you believe will makeyou happy, is actually going to make you happy? I have spoken about some of the other people in your life, and howthey have certain expectations of you. Either consciously or unconsciously, you were conditioned to act and think in acertain way. Depending on what you feel you are or aren’t aware of, you will be repeating these acts and perpetuatingbiases that were handed down to you. What I wanted to help you do, Paolo, was to help you identify any existingbiases, misconceptions or outdated ideas that you may or may not realize you are holding onto. If you are to enter thisnew era in 2022, and to use the power of Pluto Direct to work in your favor, then you need to eradicate certain ideas,ideals and perspectives that are preventing you from exploring new and different opportunities.

HIDDEN PERSPECTIVES

So how are you going to identify what your personal biases are and reflect on what perspectives of yours need tochange? Having certain biases doesn’t make you a bad person, on the contrary, people need to share different ideasto be able to enrich the world. However, if someone’s ideas, ideals or perspectives causes harm or hurts others, this iswhen the fine line of freedom is breached. We’ve seen it all over the world, in regards to religion, philosophies orideologies and it has and still causes much conflict. Nations are divided, countries are at wars with other and evenfamilies can be broken apart because of destructive biases or beliefs. The world and your life will be a better place toexist with some simple self-reflection of how to eliminate your own hidden biases and to identify people in your life thatmay actually be blocking your exploration and positive experience of life because they have closed their minds andcan’t think outside the box! If Pluto Retrograde’s journey into Direct is going to teach you anything, is that you cannotpresume anything, Paolo! This is also part of breaking the karmic cycle of misconception, leaving the past behind andembracing your higher self! If you hold on to outdated thoughts, ideas and approaches to life, you may be left behindand I wouldn’t want that for you. I’m not saying that you are out of touch, you are deeply connected to who you are,but Pluto will indeed bring to light what’s lying underneath. It doesn’t take much energy to do a self-assessment ofyour mind and that’s exactly what your Virtuosity Questionnaire is going to help you do; identify and explore whathidden biases you have so you can consciously decide what you want to change. This is an empowering exercise andmay also help calm the inner power struggle you are experiencing. Everything is connected, my dear, and you areabout to understand the how and the why.

INSTRUCTIONS

There are no right or wrong answers, all you need to do is grab a piece of paper and a pen and answer each questionon the following page. Allow your subconscious to lead you and don’t think about your answer too long. No one else isgoing to see these answers so do not fear being judged or criticized for what you really think. Remember honesty is soimportant if you are going to live your authentic destined path. Once you have written all your answers down, reflect onwhether the answers you gave were preconceived ideas that you were conditioned to believe, or if this is what you trulybelieve in. It can be confronting at times but it is also liberating to really acknowledge and accept what your personaltruths are. It will give you a chance to ponder and understand who you are right now and how you want to evolve! Youmay begin when you are ready, Paolo!

Before I bring this reading to a close, Paolo, I wanted to share with you some tips and techniques that will help you torealize your goals, plans and projects under this industrious Capricorn influence. Earlier we spoke of coordinating mind,body and soul as a means to catalyze meaningful transformation in your life: there is no denying your mind is fertilewith ideas under Pluto Direct, yes, but to really bring them to life, you need to implement some effective strategies. Youcan’t sustain significant change on good intentions alone! Integrate some of these approaches into pursuing yourdreams and I guarantee you that true progress will manifest quicker than you believed possible. I myself use themwhen I need to feel more motivated, activated and vital in any work I undertake.

Become More Task-Oriented

For many of us, when we imagine success we have a natural tendency to visualize the end product. An aspiring authorwill picture their bestselling novel on the book shelves, for example, or a training athlete might focus on the accoladesthey could one day receive. Research shows that it is much more beneficial to be task-oriented than goal-oriented.Rather than reflecting on the potential outcome, re-direct this energy to the process. The best way to do this is to breakyour goal down into a series of smaller, more manageable steps. Instead of telling yourself that you are going to write abook, tell yourself that today you are going to write 300 words. A language learner should not focus on becoming fluentin their target language but by adding each day to their proficiency through carefully planned tasks.

TIP: Visualize the achievement of your goal as a line. On one end you have the starting point and, at the opposite, thefinal outcome. What really matters is everything that lies in between. Break your goal down into small, realistic tasksthat you can work on every single day. Setting aside even ten minutes daily has much greater value than a stand-aloneburst of energy that burns itself out quickly.

Choose Single-Tasking

People naturally like to believe they are wonderful multi-taskers, Paolo, when most studies indicate that those who tryto juggle too many things at once end up more stressed, anxious and ultimately less productive than those who

Page 26/29

prioritize tasks according to their merit. I know you want to renovate many different aspects of your life and, as far asyou are concerned, the quicker things change the better! Yet, diverting your energies and efforts into a thousanddifferent channels will leave you with nothing but a thousand half-baked results. Doing one thing at a time and doing itwell produces much more rewarding fruit. This is not to say all of your time needs to be centered on one goal only butthat you should recognize which of your tasks is more deserving of your attention at any one moment.

TIP: Reflect on the key goals you have for your life path as you move forward. Note them down. Now, organize themnumerically according importance. Which should you tackle first? You can then refer back to the previous task-orientedadvice to begin constructively realizing this goal in the organization of your day. I recommend examining this list eachmorning to see if your priorities have changed.

Celebrate Progress

No matter how little or how much you manage to achieve on any given day, always have gratitude for even the minorprogress you make. Activating your reward centers when you accomplish something creates a cognitive loop whereyou begin to associate progress with pleasure, which in turn encourages repetition. For example, if you are doing aspring clean of your house, do not wait until it is sparkling from top-to-bottom before allowing yourself to relax: onceone room has been cleaned thoroughly, give yourself a break or even a treat. When you celebrate even minorprogress, you begin to enjoy the process and the task at hand feels much less overwhelming.

TIP: Every time you tick another item off the list, notice your gratitude. There may still be a lot of work to do, yes, butyou are already closer to your final goal than when you began. Every act of progress is one you should acknowledgeand be proud of.

Have Only The Tools You Need

Distraction is the bedfellow of procrastination, Paolo! When you commit yourself to realizing a task, the process shouldalways begin with removing anything that might otherwise occupy your attention. A clear, clutter-free desk if you arestudying, for example. You should have only what you need to complete what you have set out to do. I must makespecial mention of technology here as it is the greatest distraction of modern times. Turn off your phone or even theinternet if necessary. Close any superfluous computer tabs and turn off the television. Only you know how you workbest – you could be someone who benefits from background music while working – but identify anything that is likely todivert your attentions and remove it before you begin.

Page 27/29

TIP: Take a moment to reflect on what tools you have used to procrastinate in the past and what tools are essential toyour task. If you are guilty of forever checking your phone, for example, switch it off. As part of the previous celebratingprogress technique, you can switch it on to check when you have ticked something off your to-do list.

Integrating these four key strategies into how you approach your goals under Pluto Direct in Capricorn is the best wayto give substance to simple ideas and transform your plans into material progress.

Transformation arrives into our lives under many different guises, Paolo. Drastic lifestyle changes are the ones we tendto pay closest attention to as their impact is immediate: beginning a new job, perhaps, or moving to a new location.Some changes are sudden whilst others are are subtle, slowly gathering momentum over time so that we are hardlyaware of them while they are in progress. In your Transformative Power Guidance, I wanted to draw your attention tothe most radical transformation of all: the one that happens within.

As we have been undergoing a collective shift in consciousness, you have responded – particularly during the last fivemonths of Pluto Retrograde – by re-configuring your thoughts and ideas, discretely realizing that the life you havedesigned for yourself does not actually not meet your needs. You want more fulfillment. You want more joy. You areready to let go of old beliefs that have done nothing but frustrate your desire to walk a peaceful happy path.

These changes to your subconscious self have been developing surely and steadily for several months but it is now,under the nfluence of Pluto Direct in Capricorn, that they are ready to manifest. In your Metamorphosis Oracle, I haveprovided you with some invaluable insights into the seismic shifts that are happening on your life path but only you canact on them. Where do your new priorities lie? How can they help you find your place in this ever evolving society?How can you take back your sense of power and be solely responsible for the life that unfolds before you? I ask you totake the wisdom of your Archetypes and indeed the other exercises and advice I have provided you with to positivelyrenovate your attitude and approach to living. You have felt stuck for too long, Paolo, so you owe it to yourself torestructure your quality of life and find a new purpose.

Page 28/29

As I mentioned at the beginning of your reading, there is no such thing as fear of change, but only a fear of theunknown: I can tell you right now that this unknown will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Embrace it.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and share your thoughts.

Divine light and eternal love,Claire
