Get ready to step into your power? This week is infused with possibility as Pluto, the planet of power, goes direct after being retrograde since May 4. When Pluto is retrograde, important external events that reflect internal fears and oldbacks take place. If we desire a goal but feel unworthy of achieving it, for example, this retrograde makes it easier to become aware of the root of that limiting belief. After all, Pluto governs our overall psychological process, helping us uncover what lies beneath the surface.
As Pluto goes direct and is activated by Venus in Libra, we’re being invited to shatter those limiting beliefs. But nothing is easy with Pluto. For Pluto to deliver its immense riches, we must be willing to get to the bottom of our hearts and psyche. For those who are ready to alchemize fear into power, the Pluto retrograde ritual below is for you.
GATHER your tools: You will need the Akita Magic Incense Blend, two pieces of Black Agate, matches, a special place in nature, and your vulnerability.
STEP ONE: Release the Shadow
Since May 4, while Pluto was retrograde, you may have faced setbacks or failures. Choose one that still lingers. Hold one of the Black Agates in your left hand and infuse it with the raw emotions this memory evokes - pain, sadness, anger, and disappointment.
ALLOW yourself to cry, scream, or shake if needed. When you feel emptied out, thank the crystal for holding this energy. Bury it in the earth, giving your shadow back to Pluto’s realm of transformation. Leave this space with gratitude for the lessons carried in your past.
STEP TWO: Reclaim Your Power
Return to a place where you feel strong - your desk, altar, or ritual space. Light the Akita Magic Incense Blend and breathe in its potent smoke. Hold the second Black Agate in your right hand and infuse it with feelings of strength, resilience, and renewed success.
REPEAT the mantra eleven times: “I summon strength, courage, and passion to realize my goals. Stronger and wiser, I transmute my shadow into raw, personal power.” Place the crystal where you will see it often as a reminder of your courage and the transformation it has brought about.
CLOSE the ritual by thanking Pluto for guiding you in alchemizing shadow into strength. Extinguish the incense safely, knowing your power has been reclaimed.
Pro Tip: While most potent this week, this ritual can be done anytime for the rest of the Fall and Winter.
