I’m not sure my generation will ever forgive the powers-that-be for declaring that Pluto is no longer a planet. I mean, who cares if it’s kind of small?
As Shakespeare once said “though she be but little, she is fierce,” and Pluto is certainly proving itself fierce as it stations direct. While Pluto is bringing out our innermost desires, Libra is controlling every other transit of the day. Today should be interesting, to say the least.
