Pluto’s pressure is on—but are you listening?
Plus, how you can utilize its magick to your benefit.
The Scorpio Full Moon arrived like a truth serum, illuminating what’s been hidden beneath the surface.
Scorpio energy doesn’t tiptoe around—it pierces. Under last night’s lunation, shadows rose not to torment us, but to be acknowledged, integrated, and ultimately alchemized.
This particular Full Moon is supercharged by the ongoing square between Pluto in Aquarius and the Pluto in Scorpio generation (1983–1995).
For those of us born with Pluto in Scorpio, this is a once-in-a-lifetime evolutionary checkpoint.
Pluto square Pluto is a generational underworld rite of passage—a confrontation with the very themes Scorpio governs: power, control, death, rebirth, emotional truth, and transformation.
The pressure is real, but so is the opportunity. This is when you achieve freedom through facing your shadows.
If you've felt like old wounds, patterns, or compulsions are bubbling up, you're not losing it. You're being called to look directly at what you've been avoiding.
For the Pluto in Scorpio generation, this square from Pluto in Aquarius is pressing you into maturity—from being trauma-aware to trauma-integrated. What does that mean?
This is when we move from knowing our shadows to working with them. It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about meeting yourself fully, especially in the dark.
That’s why I created the Shadows of the Self audio journey. It’s an immersive, self-paced shadow work course designed for times like this—when the unconscious rises and integration becomes non-negotiable.
(And for the month of May, it’s only $25!).
Last night’s full moon was a foreshadow of where you’ll be focusing a lot of your shadow work for the next decade and some change (I know). Don’t let this overwhelm you, let it prepare you.
You’re ready to face whatever is coming up, and if you need additional help or guidance, you know where to find me.
