Pluto, revisited
I'm not sure if you can help. You don't know me after all and I don't know
you. Suffice to say, I'm at a major crossroads at this moment and need to
make some very big decisions that will affect many people. People that I
love very much. I feel that people with gifts such as yours can be a way in
which we may be able to speak to God. That puts a great burden on you, I
understand. I'm not sure if I'm even saying this correctly. My birthday is
March 10, 1945 if that gives you any help at all. I'm counting on you not
being unconscionable. I feel a certain amount of risk in writing to you at
all. Forgive me if I have hurt your feelings by saying that. Once again, I
do know that you haven't much to go on. Thank you for your time though and,
if you can, help! Mrs. G

I'm sorry to have missed getting your birthday gift out until now...but many happy returns of the day.
I must seriously point out that what you said, was NOT said correctly. My gifts, or anyone else's are not a way for people to speak to God. I don't mean to split hairs or chastise you, but we all possess the same capacity and gifts for speaking with God. Asking someone to interceed for you is really unnecessary unless you're dealing with a saint (which I AM NOT). I don't want to sound facetious, but we all go through enough inflations on our own each and every day that none of us really needs any further encouragement. Inflations always require a corrective de-flation or we simply float up into the stratosphere and disappear. It's miserably cold, lonely and dead up there, and the fall back down to earth is just awful.
So...you find yourself at a major crossroads at the time of your Solar Return. Astrologically, there's nothing awful going on. In fact...lately you've been going through a transit of Pluto Trining your natal Pluto. This is a major source of beneficial energy. Between now and the middle of April, you've got the equivalent of a Grand Trine between transiting Jupiter (Aries), transiting Pluto (Sagittarius) and natal Pluto (Leo). Things are heating up to the boiling point...but this is the opportunity of a lifetime we're talking about. Asking for help from me or anybody is absolutely superfluous.
Mythologically...the trine of transiting Pluto to natal Pluto, for a woman, is a meeting with the Triple Goddess in the form of Hecate. She's the dark goddess of the underworld and the place where three roads cross is sacred to her. I'd encourage you to read up on her and try to get a good feel for the experience of meeting her. She (as the goddess within) has all of the wisdom you need to make a decision that will be best for YOU in the long run. What is best for the people you love may not at all have anything to do with what is necessary and vital for you. If you reject the wisdom of the goddess within...it's like rejecting the real word of God.
Remember, above all, that at your particular Solar return you're asked to contemplate the real meaning of Piscean consciousness. As I've said...it's not only Intuitive wisdom...it's COMPASSION. Mother Teresa was a saint...not because she cared for and about the sick and the poor...but because she had genuine compassion for herself. It showed in her work. Without compassion for yourself you become a slave and a martyr and worse...a hypocrite. If you have any single prayer for God and the Goddess...it should be for self-compassion.
Make your decisions from that perspective and you will be dealing directly with God.
By the way...when I was in the second grade, I was caught talking in Church by the 4th grade teacher...a certain Mrs. G.... Ultimately I was forced to kneel in the principal's office as part of the punishment. If "Mrs. G" knew what I was doing now...she'd probably have me outside kneeling in the snow. I just can't imagine that she took her own meeting with the Goddess in a very positive way.
