A ritual to begin the transformation.

As we begin to tip-toe into winter, we’ll be experiencing heightened connectivity with our inner Self — and sometimes those journeys reveal some shadows along the way.

Today we’re going to talk about something most people avoid until life forces their hand — your personal underworld cycles.

In astrology, Pluto is the ruler of the shadow, the death-rebirth process, and the parts of your psyche that don’t respond to polite spiritual bypassing (trust me, I’ve tried).

But Pluto isn’t here to destroy you for shits and giggles. Pluto is the medicine to help you remember what’s real.

You’ve already experienced it so many times, but you probably didn’t even realize it was happening.

It’s the energy behind the moment you realize a relationship is draining your soul, the job you’ve outgrown but keep holding onto, the version of you that’s still operating from old wounds, and the truth you know in your bones but are terrified to admit.

That is Pluto medicine.

It’s those moments when something in you whispers, “This can’t continue.” And the underworld responds, “Then come deeper.”

And by deeper, it means deeper into honesty, clarity, and self-ownership. It’s the courage to release the binds that you thought kept you safe, and to traverse the unseen roads that pave the path of the Unknown.

So let’s go there together.
