Collective: “Here We Go Again”

This week we see something dead clawing its way back, as indicated by this Judgement in reverse. Pluto is breathing its last gasp in Capricorn as its bony hand reaches ambitiously from the grave to snatch the golden ring—"my precious." Expect deception, denial & a misconstruing of what’s presented, resulting in the announcement of a major error of opinion, aka an adverse verdict. A twisting of the truth leads to false judgement or arriving at the wrong conclusion by those who lack any spiritual values & are immoral in their behavior. Wheel of Fortune reversed puts forth the question, "Is the game fixed?" We may be challenged with fraud, theft, scandal, & most likely incompetence—at the very least, a reckless mishandling of the situation. Greater (Jupiter) willpower and effort (fire) will have to be exerted to overcome this setback. WoF speaks to failure & loss as well as a fear of change leading to downfall & working against one's/our own destiny—against the current of karma. The snake & Anubis, protector of what’s dead, sit atop the wheel. However, one should not get too comfortable on top as the results are in flux. Ace of Pentacles Reverse indicate instability & not a strong prospect for success.  Any gains gotten, especially by nefarious means, may be short lived.  Opportunity is delayed or may fall through altogether. The King of Cups, the most spiritual of the kings, seems as if he was emotionally prepared for this. This businessman looks unbothered & not surprised by the events, chuckling as if this was expected. Still, he looks to the right towards the future, seeking to rule. If there's an internal flux, he'll not show it—he's used to dealing with stress while maintaining a calm demeanor. As for us, we're not as gullible or naïve as we once were in the past, but emotions will run deep. He stresses the importance of maturity & diplomatic skill to help handle potentially contentious situations with tact & understanding. This challenge will require emotional mastery & compassionate leadership where we will be called to navigate emotional times with empathy & understanding. Gaining control over our impulses in order to provide guidance to others, radiating stability & providing a safe harbor. It's also worth noting that the King of Cups can symbolize a 'rite of passage,' which harkens back to Judgement, indicating there's a spiritual component here, denoting a widening experience.
