Pluto- reclaim your buried power
Pluto is the planet of transformation, is God of the Underworld. it takes us to the depths of our unconscious where buried treasure lies . . .

By transit until late October it is forming a square with the nodes of the Moon. This is the time to access your buried power and step into your life purpose.

Once we have traveled through his realm we are transformed. Healing Pluto's problems means we regain the power in our lives.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 at the same time as the invention of the atom bomb. The furthest planet in our solar system it's in an area known as The Kuiper Belt along with the debris from the Big Bang and the start of Creation -the cosmic dustbin.

On this workshop we'll look at:-
• What the Greek myths of Persephone & Pluto and Hercules & The Hydra teach us.
• Pluto as the planet of transformation by sign in our birth charts and the aspects it makes.
• How Pluto makes its first square age 38, the beginning of the midlife crisis and the start of our psychological journey into the unconscious.
• Guided meditation to access Pluto at a subconscious level.

Hercules killing the Hydra is a Plutonic Scorpio myth. Hercules has to kill a nine headed monster. But as he cuts one head off two more grow in its place.

In psychological terms this is like the ego. As soon as we conquer one problem two more appear. It seems impossible until we ask for help.

THE MYTH
The Hydra is the constellation of the water snake. This constellation represents the Lernaean Hydra, slain by Hercules as his second labour.

The Hydra was a monster with nine heads who lived in a cave and terrorised the neighbourhood. What made the Hydra so difficult to kill was the fact that, whenever one of its heads was chopped off, two would grow in its place.

It is said that this creature was raised by Hera in order to intimidate Hercules. This beast was so deadly that his breath could kill.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, came to Hercules and advised him as to how to defeat the Hydra. She told Hercules that he must force the Hydra out of its lair by shooting flaming arrows into it and setting it afire. This way he would be able to keep the Hydra within his sights. She told him that the center-most of the nine heads was immortal.

Hercules was helped in this labour by his nephew Iolaus who lit the arrows. As the heads were cut off Iolaus seared the place where the cut-off head had been to prevent two more from growing. The trick was successful until only the centre head remained. By some accounts, Hercules used a golden sword to cut off that immortal head.

When he removed the final one, he buried it under a heavy rock while Iolaus seared the neck. Hercules then dipped his arrows into the Hydras gall which rendered them deadly poisonous.
