Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto Transits Show Us The Way to Spiritual Transformation

by Robert Wilkinson

The Spiritual Triad, the Divine Awakener, Unifier, and Transformer, all show us when it’s time to transcend old worldly patterns and find new forms of expressing our Higher Self which demonstrate our spiritual purpose. Many express worry at impending Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto conjunctions, squares, and oppositions to their natal planets but I find them to be great times to embrace spiritual transformation. In any case, being afraid of any transit is an unhelpful illusion.
