Astro-News for the end of our Year!
After a year of extreme ups and downs, it's hardly surprising that the Universe has one more obstacle up its sleeve before 2011 is over. Just in time for New Year's resolutions, the Sun conjuncts Pluto on December 29, demanding that you give up the old in favor of transformation and growth!
With this transit, Pluto is essentially telling you that there's something in your life clearly holding you back from becoming a greater person. It could be menial, but Pluto prefers to work on a grand scale. Likely examples include a dead-end job, a relationship (either romantic, platonic or business), your home, or even political or religious beliefs.

One of the biggest problems here is that you may not recognize this obstruction for what it is. In fact, you might even consider it a necessary part of your life! However, you may well need to address the possibility that something you love may be doing you more harm than good.

During this period, you'll feel more vulnerable, and therefore a bit desperate to get your defenses in proper place. Just do your best to keep in mind that once this is behind you, you'll emerge stronger, more capable and ready to take the world by storm!

With Pluto pulling you one way and your heart the other, it may be easy to lose track of who you are and what's most important.
