Q. I am a disciplined, hardworking, creative person and good at whatever I set my mind to. I have had success in my career, people like to work with me as I am trustworthy and will always try to do my best by all concerned. And yet no matter how hard I work or how much energy I put into projects (films, writing), very few seem to really get off the ground and if they do they never seem to be enough to sustain me in a solid financial way. I appreciate very much the freedom I have gained by having made this choice of working as an independent and I can manifest funds when I need them, but just enough - never a lot of cream so I can feel comfortable and not always have an underlying anxiety about where the next cycle of funds is coming from. What to do? I can’t seem to break out of whatever karmic pattern I find myself in, which seems to be one of Saturn like restrictions. NB: I have worked at different jobs to sustain myself and my creativity, so not afraid of change.
A. Your power potential is more than obvious in your chart, with the Sun and Moon in Leo conjunct Pluto which sits, depending how accurate your birth time is, around the cusp of the 2nd and 3rd Houses, the traditional houses of money and communication. You do have a strong and initially debilitating Saturn in your 4th House, which describes a family system very much ruled by feelings of lack and struggle and some very masculinising and negative forms of underlying conditioning that undoubtably contributes to your financial woes. However, there is more to it than this...click 'Read More' below to continue...

Your New Moon core is also indirectly conjunct the Black Moon in between your Pluto and Mercury, from the 2nd House; is conjunct the South Node with all its karmic residues, gifts and challenges and, part of a T-square with Mars in Scorpio and a conjunction of Jupiter and Hygeia in Taurus. Each part of this pattern is intense on many levels, let alone the whole, so I’m not surprised that the going hasn’t been smooth for you, just yet!
The South Node position does describe some very old karmic patterns that will hold you back until certain karmas are complete, processes that are deep and mysterious and mostly beyond our control. With Pluto and the Black Moon here there is much past-life territory to do with the use and misuse of power in various forms, usually as both victim and perpetrator (don’t give yourself a hard time here, its very common in individuals attracted to this kind of work, at least amongst my clients!).
At the same time, the very same alignments say that one of your major soul tasks in this life is the purification and liberatation of the same awesome power potential, to be able to bring it creatively into this life. There are ways of helping this along, firstly to do some past-life regression work to get a first hand experience of where you’ve been as a soul and what you’re dealing with on this level.
One of the consequences of this history is a subliminal fear of your power, which dovetails rather neatly with the essential transformative power of Pluto turning into forms of control that are far deeper than traditional Saturnian resistances. Identifying these forms and finding safe ways to open up to the deeper energies therapeutically and creatively is the way to go here. You are sitting on a massive volcano and you need to blow it up safely.
This is easier said than done obviously and you’ll need very experienced high quality therapeutic support as there are lots of emotional/psychological manifestations to the same karmas. Nothing light weight, New Agey or exclusively meditative will do here.
One of the main issues here has to do with the suppression and control of anger and rage, coming simultaneously from past-life, ancestral and parental sources. Your parents are very much connected to the same karmas and had a powerful relationship that was very destructive on some levels and potentially very healing and abundant on others. It appears that you’ve been jammed in the middle of the same paradox and even in traditional astrology Pluto square Mars in Scorpio waves a flashing red light over this issue of repressed rage sabotaging your work and financial life, and getting in the way of both your healing journey and your right to abundance through your Jupiter in Taurus. Work with it and it will eventually do the opposite; empower you on multiple levels.
And there is fantastic support at this time as well, around the same territory. Transiting Pluto is crossing your 7th House Chiron, a transits of deep transformation and healing that will attract to you the right support in this journey.
Your progressed Midheaven, which describes how your professional life is unfolding, is conjunct your natal Jupiter, a two year alignment that opens, expands and liberates great energy in your work and with your visions. On top of this, transiting Jupiter is crossing both, as part of your Jupiter return, right now!
You have the potential of becoming one of the great film-makers and/or writers, because your work is also meant to be vehicle for healing in these next years. You’re at a turning point now. Go for it!
