Hello Noel,
How nice to hear this from an experienced astrologer! Thanks! I do my best to understand and synthetize, I still have a long way to go.
I will look for your article on Pluto in Aquarius. I am only discovering you these days, I'm totally new here! I have to catch up with your articles! And yes, right on time with Pluto entering Aquarius (it just happened like this).
Thank you very much for your answer on my Pluto in Aquarius 10th House question,

and for drawing my attention to the 8th house stuff that will probably be linked to the Pluto-Jupiter/MC conjunctions. Wow... so I'm really heading to that Harry Potter phase...?

Well, I can only surrender to whatever will happen. I have till 2028 to train myself to let go, and keep learning astrology, and let life guide me.
Those 15 years of Pluto in Capricorn were just so... a real-life roller coaster that peeled all the layers of my illusionned onion along the way, showing me the heights and the undergrounds of this world, sometimes in a single day, with x-ray glasses on followed by Neptune's fog alternatively.

Ego strip, destruction of dreams and some not funny hardships, I held tight to not be ejected from the ride, I'm still here.
What I retain is that it totally changed my whole understanding and view on how humanity functions. Once I understand the mechanism behind people's behaviours and the structure of society, it removes the "drama" of life that causes the suffering. It also helped to understand myself. And Astrology gave me in a few weeks more answers than all I gathered all those years, so it really got me fascinated!
It's also quite scary when you come accross things related to health issues, deseases and death, accidents, fatality. I have to learn to deal with that kind of information, it's part of the interpretation of the different combinations. I wonder how professional astrologers handle all those not so pleasant information? So that's Pluto currently in my 9th house finishing it's transit there... If that's a preparation to what's to come in the 1Oth... gosh...
Oh! Yes diaries! With what you said I can be sure that writing diaries is really an important thing to do, specially during the upcoming transit.

I've been writing diaries since my teenage years (strangely I always noted the time with the date). And since I started astrology last year about every two month I get a new journal. I take notes of where is the moon and some aspects if something particular the sky is happening at that moment (synchronicities), even if interpreting that seems abstract for now, and I write about the things I notice, ideas, thoughts, personal analysis... Maybe one day I look back into this with more insight I'll be able to fully understand the hows and the whys. I will make sure I continue with that.
Have a good week-end!
Cheers,
Taurus Leonne.
