Jupiter in Aquarius will make only one waxing semi-square to Pluto in Capricorn. This occurs on March 27, with Jupiter at the 19th degree of Aquarius and Pluto located at the 4th degree of Capricorn.  The waxing semi-square aspect by definition marks the shift from the New phase to the Crescent phase within any cycle. The Jupiter/Pluto planetary pairing, as any, describes an evolutionary cycle of becoming. Therefore, as Jupiter correlates to personal belief structures of which we are conscious and Pluto to unconscious emotional security patterning in general, this waxing semi-square aspect can find us becoming suddenly aware of deeply rooted reasons for why we believe anything at all.

This waxing semi-square aspect, then, is an opportunity to utilize the inherent energetic shift from Yang to Yin–from outward expressions to inner reflections, such that we inherently manifestly stabilize newly evolving beliefs within any given moment as it happens.  However, the pull from the past as symbolized by our old beliefs and evidenced by instinctively powerful emotional undercurrents, is so strong that we can be continually drawn back and inward. The ensuing reflective process can then serve to facilitate our internalizing a newer and deeper understanding of that taking place within our very Soul.  And that’s the point: for our conscious beliefs to genuinely reflect our actual Soul reality; for the manifest personality to increasingly unmask, de-mask the underlying Soul itself. Still, we may face disappointments within this process as old ideas seem to no longer ‘work’ - again and again we may be drawn inward to question why.  So, this can be a vulnerable time–and sometimes it’s easier to think other people know us better than we know our self, that they have all the answers we may seem to lack.  This is especially true with transiting Saturn in Virgo. Maybe it’s time: to trust our self - first this time.  The waxing semi-sextile Yang to Yin transition, then, animated via Jupiter/Pluto, conceptualizes and symbolizes an opportunity to shift from a manifest dependency upon seemingly outer sources of power to an inner knowing that true power emanates only and purely from within.

Jupiter in Aquarius can freeze up when insecurities are triggered.  It will take repeated intuitive messages about the future to help us figure out the new directions we need to embrace.  Pluto in Capricorn adds to the insecurities on deep emotional levels as old realities crumble.  It also creates lots of pressure to conform to societal and cultural standards of belief systems.  The waxing semi-square aspect draws us inward, seeking to find a new emotional equilibrium that keeps pace with the changes in our life.

This current Jupiter-Pluto cycle started with one conjunction on December 11, 2007 at 28/29 degrees Sagittarius.  This cycle will last until the next one is initiated with three Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions on April 4, June 29 and November 12, 2020 between 22-25 degrees Capricorn, just before the United States natal Pluto in Capricorn at 27/28 degrees.  Before this current cycle, the last one was initiated in Pluto’s domain of Scorpio.  This current Jupiter-Pluto cycle now emphasizes Jupiter’s theme in Sagittarius.  At the tale end of Sag there is hope we will learn some of the lessons around this archetype of evolving our belief systems, moving closer to natural spiritual principles.
