Monday, JUNE 20
The Moon spends most of the day in Pisces, only entering Aries at 11:38 PM EDT. The Last Quarter Moon occurs shortly before the Moon changes signs when the Sun in late Gemini forms a square to the Moon in late Pisces. The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a possible crisis of consciousness. We’ve processed recent epiphanies, and we begin to see what works for us–and what doesn’t–in preparation for next week’s New Moon when something new is born again. It’s not an ideal time to start a significant project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes descent into unconsciousness. Instead, it’s time to handle details or tie up loose ends.
We’re also nearing a Venus-Pluto trine that’s exact tomorrow morning, and the need to share or enjoy life on more profound levels is strong as the day advances. This influence helps us connect with what we most love and cherish. We might narrow our focus to our advantage under this influence. We seek to grow, improve, or develop our attachments. Recognizing the value of patience, we’re more strategic and likely to gain new insight into business and personal relationships.
The void Moon occurs from 11:11 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to the Sun), until the Moon enters Aries at 11:38 PM EDT.

On tonight’s stream, I plan on looking at George Ivan “Van” Morrison’s natal chart. The focus should be the placement of Pluto in the 3rd House in Leo as seen above. Pertinent descriptions relating to the concepts we are studying are listed below:
. . .
Note: Pluto in Leo is a generational placement - both Koand and George Ivan show this configuration in their charts as will anyone else around their age.
The Pluto in Leo person is all about honor, dignity and preserving the status quo. Progressive or revolutionary ideas are always met with a certain hesitancy, while the established way should be preserved at all cost.
Whatever the power structure, the Pluto in Leo is part of it. There could be a lot of competition from siblings, but this is true only if they were close in age or in similar phases of life.
It’s almost like having to wake up and prove yourself all over again when there’s a new sibling born into the family.
What Does Pluto in Leo Mean?
Pluto in Leo people are original, inventive, charming, and magnetic. They’re powerful and dominant, authoritative and inspirational. But they can also be absolutists who try to force their will on others.
This is a person that is fit and full of energy, while still being able to relax. These people are great leaders and have an eye for beauty and detail.
They are not shy and like to have a variety of strong feelings in their life once they reach adulthood.
While you might strive to have a deep sense of self, you find nothing more gratifying than when others recognize your successes. You’re most passionate about things you can accomplish by yourself, far away from the superficial distractions of modern life.
The Pluto in Leo native is assertive, creative, self-assured, and a born artist. He’s also very stubborn and strong-willed. The latter traits may often get him into trouble, but they are also the forces that make this person extremely powerful and influential.
This placement can denote someone who is very driven, sometimes to the point of selfishness, and self-promotes his or her accomplishments. This person may sometimes be used as a “tool” by others to achieve their own personal goals.
This can cause them to be powerful and influential, but it may also cause him or her to experience disappointment from time to time.
Someone with this placement should focus on working for the betterment of others instead of himself or herself, and on setting his or her own ego aside.
You’re no stranger to powerful emotions and a flamboyant passion for life. You love entertaining, living the dream, having a good time, and pushing the envelope, so much so that at times your restlessness and impulsivity hint at the darker sides of Leo (and Pluto). Your dramatic flair and intense energy sweep others up in your whirlwind, or drive them away.
Pluto in Leo Man
The Pluto in Leo placement describes a man who is strong and ambitious. This man is unafraid to set goals, and he uses his ambition to achieve glory.
The Pluto in Leo man yearns for admiration and greatness. He loves to be noticed for his accomplishments. He is not afraid to take charge and lead others on the path towards the same goal.
A man with this placement possesses a strong personality guaranteed to attract the kind of attention he wants. Those with this placement prefer dramatic and flamboyant gestures, which are used to increase their own self-importance.
They like to be the center of attention and do things that stand out so that people will notice them. They carry themselves in a manner that exudes confidence, but they are secretly afraid of being overshadowed by others or rejected for not being different or unique enough.
The Pluto in Leo gentleman personifies the meaning of “dapper.” Well-dressed, well-groomed and well-mannered, the outward appearance reflects an inner strength.
He is often well-spoken and carries himself with pride. His eyes are expressive, drawing you in with a confident gaze.
This combination of power and compassion is impressive. He’s clearly a leader. The Pluto in Leo man has a talent for inspiring confidence in people. He is also very protective and possessive.
They tend to be naturally assertive and confident. They are loyal and dedicated to their families.
He is a natural born leader. He is highly ambitious and courageous and is likely to succeed in a position of leadership or authority.
He likes to be center stage, and enjoys the spotlight, but is aware of when enough is enough. He strives for perfection in all that he does and expects no less from others.
Fun-loving, charismatic, and generous to a fault, Pluto in Leo men are so attractive to women that even they can’t understand why all the ladies are into them. Their lust for life assures them that they will never be alone – as long as there’s a party going on!
Pluto in Leo men have a strong sense of self-worth and are proud of accomplishments. For the most part, Leo is ruled by the heart. That figuratively translates to someone who loves passionately and expects to be loved in return.
Being an earthy sign, Leo is known for its practicality, but in this position can make it hard for him to put his money where his mouth is.
He will expect quality without compromise, and if he has settled for less often in the past then Pluto in Leo men will certainly demand more from themselves now.

Pluto Sextile Neptune Natal
Due to the unusual cycle between Pluto and Neptune, they remain in a waxing sextile aspect for an extraordinarily long time. As a result, people born from the 1940s into the 2030s will have Pluto and Neptune in the range of a sextile aspect in their natal chart. Due to the immense, epochal shifts in cultural evolution that occur when Pluto and Neptune form a conjunction every 500 years, it is as if the numerous generations of individuals born with Pluto in a sextile aspect with Neptune are needed to help global societies adjust to the changes that are to come. These changes are in correspondence with the cycle between Pluto and Neptune. Those born with Pluto in a sextile aspect with Neptune have a gift for not only imagining a vision of the life they would like to experience, but also generating the desire and willpower to initiate action that will lead to a manifestation of their long-term vision. Yet this powerful visualizing and manifesting capacity can also lead to self-fulfilling cycles within the collective culture. Certain ideas become infectious like viruses, influencing and manipulating the behavior of many. For example, it is interesting that mass media and advertising developed amongst the current generations born with this aspect.
. . .
Pluto sextile Chiron
Pluto is the planet of transformation while Chiron, called the Wounded Healer, is the planet of healing and acknowledgment of concealed trauma. With Pluto in flowing aspect to Chiron there is a more conscious understanding of the urge for power and control, causing us to take a closer look at the potency of our own subconscious desires. We can make progress toward healing the wound of where we feel the need to exert power over the lives of others. Out of fear eventually comes grace, but it takes work.

. . .
Pluto Square Sun Synastry
With the Pluto square Sun synastry aspect, you have a deep and transformative effect on each other. Just like the opposition, it can be a bit of a love-hate relationship.
This aspect creates a lot of power struggles. You might try to dominate each other in the relationship.
The Pluto square Sun synastry aspect can indicate obsession, too. You might want to know every detail about each other’s lives or even thoughts.
Sometimes, this relationship can turn extremely possessive or controlling. However, Pluto square Sun in synastry is also super sexual.
You can be deeply attached to each other both emotionally and sexually. Your passion stems from this aspect, so it’s a bit chaotic and charged instead of easy and harmonious.
However, the Pluto square Sun synastry aspect can work in a long-term relationship. You will encounter a lot of emotional chaos. If both people want to change and are willing to work through this, then both partners will see a lot of personal and relationship transformation.
The Pluto square Sun synastry aspect is all about wild ups and downs. You will know that you’re making progress when your relationship becomes more steady.
Both partners need to be wary of trying to control the other. These impulses are a sign that something needs to be worked through, so don’t ignore the need for control, but don’t succumb to it, either.

. . .
Other expressions of the Neptune-Pluto combination, in natal chart and in transit/solar arc:
Pluto-Neptune conjunction can be seen in a number of well known spiritual leaders that you might have heard of: Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda, Sri Meher Baba, Jeddu Krishnamurti. The transit or Solar Arc involving the conjunction, square or opposition of Neptune and Pluto is known to correspond with a time when paranormal or spiritual dimensions of life is emphasized in the individual’s life.
In science, Niels Bohr, a Nobel Prize winning physicist who was involved in the creation of atomic bomb (symbolized by Pluto,) has Neptune conjunct Pluto. There are two other Nobel Prize winners with the same conjunction: Walher Bothe (radiation of neutrons) and Louis de Broglie (wave theory.) So we could think of the combination of Pluto and Neptune (in natal chart and transit) to include the openness to explore a deeper, more subtle dimensions of life.
Whether it’s science, spirituality or politics, the combination of Neptune and Pluto in a natal chart will reflect humankind’s collective subconscious desire to gain power. Most people will not come in position to wield much power over others, but those that do will be challenged to use it wisely, for there will be a lot of power to do both good and harm, affecting possibly millions of people.
