You also said, " You have already experienced Pluto conjunct your natal Moon, which would have prepared you emtoionally for the inevitable death of your grandmother. You would have had to face all your deepest feelings to do with your earlier experience of `mother', part of which would have been the fear of loss and abandonment."
Can you tell the time of period in which Pluto conjuct my natal Moon?
Funny you should ask that. As I wrote about the Pluto transit I thought:
"Mmm, maybe I should also look up the timing of that."
Prior to the transit to your Moon you had Pluto forming a conjunction with your Venus - March`08 & April`08, then Jan`09 to Jan`10 - which was a time when you were led to examine your core values, perhaps through a relationship struggle, or maybe through a difficulty in bringing creative energy to the surface.
Hot on the heels of that has been Pluto's conjunction to your Moon: Jan`10 to Jan`11, then July`11 to Nov`11.
The Moon represents all of:
- your instinctual repsonses to your world and your changing environment
- your sense of being nurtured
- the kind of mothering you receive
- your emotional `style'
Pluto acts in a deep and very internal way, but we experience Pluto through our external world.
We tend to have our lives changed through the external events we experience, but these are little more than a reflection of our internal landscape. Thus, it will be important to examine your responses to events in relation to how it is you feel and why. Which is why I mentioned that the impending death of your grandmother will bring to the surface for you all your deepest fears re loss and `abandonment' by the mother. `Abandonment by mother' is one of the most fearful things a child faces, and most children contemplate this at some stage. Coming face-to-face with it as a reality is almost unbearable.
