Some of us live in a very toxic environment.  We may be in regular contact with people that know nothing more than to take and take and take. This can be challenging to say the least and it may be difficult for some of us to recognize that we may even carry some of their energy. 


You do not help someone by giving them all the answers or trying to do their personal work for them.  You are standing in the way of their growth and recovery.

There are many individuals that are high maintenance mainly because they are not willing to do the work themselves.  It takes courage and dedication to tackle some of life’s issues, but in the end, we, ourselves, must fix our problems, and we cannot and should not rely on others.  For those that have become reliant on you to do the work for them, it may be time that you make an adjustment and let them know that they must be willing to do the work themselves, as no one else can do it for them.

 

For those that are clinging and have become dependent on you, by stepping back you are helping them find independence. You are denying them self-reliance and the confidence that self-reliance provides. No one can do the work for others. We can only support them in their decisions and sometimes plant a seed that may guide them in a better, easier direction.

 

If you feel drained and all of your energy is sucked out of you, you had better take some time to work on healing yourself.  You cannot feed anyone from an empty pantry.

 

You do not help someone by giving them all the answers or trying to do their personal work for them.  You are standing in the way of their growth and recovery.  Over time, you may be creating a dependent and hurting yourself by becoming a victim.  It is not being selfish to take a break from serving others for your own sake or to break free of energy vampires that would drain you fully of your energy.

 

Do an internal audit. Do something you enjoy. Where might you want to focus next? 

 

You DO need time for yourself.  We all need a little bit of space.  Take this space and fulfil your own needs too.

Currently (June 2024), transiting Uranus is at 24° in the sign of Taurus.  It will remain in its direct cycle until September 2, 2024, when it moves into its retrograde cycle.  You can use a 5–7° orb of influence to your Natal Mercury.  You should also look at Uranus in your natal chart along with the transiting position of Uranus.  Any aspects that Natal Uranus will also have an impact along with its house position and Mercury’s Natal house position.

 

While in its direct cycle which makes Uranus full in its expression, you can expect a disruption to what might be considered the norm.  You likely need to change on some level because things have either become dormant or you need a new direction.  Uranus will awaken you to new possibilities and push you in the direction these new avenues of expression have the potential to flourish.  It may take some time to realize the consequences of the energies, but know that after this connection, you will be exactly where you are required to be.

 

Uranus sextile natal Mercury is an opportunity aspect and although often things just seem to fall into place, for more advantageous energies and opportunities to fall into place, we would do well if we initiated action that is required to make things happen.

A big part of what this sextile between Uranus and your Natal Mercury is about is mental reasoning.  The mind or focus is what this aspect is about.  An awakening is in the process of unfolding or is already in place depending on where your natal Mercury is situated in your chart by degree. 

 

A new train of thought, new daily activities, the formation of ideas that may enhance your perception or your life’s route and new concepts may now be activated.  You may have to grapple with these ideas especially if you are not comfortable with change but change you must if you are to awaken to new possibilities.  Those reluctant to change may have difficulties with this placement and especially those that are fixed in their opinions and belief structures. 

 

Even the way you express yourself may be invited to move in a new direction and others may see what is taking place and may not understand what is going on.  This may also affect siblings, daily activities, short distance travel, and schooling.  If this is a young individual experiencing this, some disorientation may be part of the process and their early educational activities may be subject to change. 

 

Some individuals will make plans to travel and often this may be nearby trips.  What we are referring to is this does not speak of long-distance travel.  Sometimes we decide to have a visit with our siblings or visit our aunts and uncles.

 

We may find that we have interesting and thought-provoking conversations that we would not normally have.

Currently (May 2024) transiting Pluto is in the early degrees of Aquarius.  This post will affect those with their Mercury in the early degrees of Aries or the late degrees of Pisces. Also, it will affect individuals with their Mercury in the early degrees of Sagittarius or late degrees of Scorpio. 

 

Many will feel the energies of Pluto beginning to have an affect on their mental processing as much as 5° approaching.  Those that have already experienced this mental alignment will still have lingering effects for up to 2° after Pluto has been direct.  It may take as much as one to two years to fully understand what too place with this powerful aspect.

 

Pluto transforms, regenerates, can cause disruption and in some cases cause mental distraction and ego intervention when it is in touch with Mercury.  Mercury rules the mind, and much will depend on how Mercury is aspected in the natal chart and in particular if associated with the planet Pluto.  It does not matter how challenging it may be in the natal chart, as difficult aspects often incur outcomes that have a profound effect later in life and generate mental activity that stimulates positive outcomes over time.

 

Mercury sits dormant in the natal chart and needs activity from transits or progressions to become stimulated and have an influence.  Pluto will certainly stimulate Mercury and your thought process causing you to think things through with great intensity and delve deep into anything that needs surfacing. 

 

To understand what areas of life are part of this process, look to where transiting Pluto is currently located, which house natal Mercury is in and also which house Pluto rules in your natal chart. This will provide you with information as to what to expect and how you can work constructively with the energies in place.

 

The sextile is an opportunistic aspect offering great potential to make things work favourably but often requires action from the individual who is being affected by its energies.  There may be some power struggles and ego disruption during this contact. Digging into areas that might not be all that comfortable are part of this process, but the outcome is often very productive and favourable over time.  It will change the course of your thinking, often leaving something behind for something new to emerge.

 

 Pluto sextile Natal Mercury will change the course of your thinking. Pluto will certainly stimulate Mercury and your thought process causing you to think things through with great intensity and delve deep into anything that needs surfacing.

Pluto sextile Natal Mercury is a positive aspect and will open doors that might otherwise not have been available prior to this time.  Pluto moves slowly and if it happens to go into its retrograde cycle during this process, it is wise to use this time to reevaluate your situation and then move ahead with your decisions when its energies into its direct motion once again.  Remember it must touch your Natal Mercury during its retrograde cycle to have this effect.

 

Enjoy the outcome of Pluto sextile natal Mercury. Will it transform your way of thinking?
