| Jupiter-Pluto: This Time it’s Personal |

Dear John
Infinite blessings to you and yours!
I hear lots of people talking lately about how intense things are getting – not just in the world, but in their personal lives. The more conscious ones also notice that when they work with the intensity well, they can move to a deeper level of awakening!
Maeikisala and I are experiencing a fundamental truth: the more intense the challenge, the bigger the breakthrough when you master it! Like so many of our consciously evolving friends, we have plenty of shadow material coming up for processing lately. And because we face it head-on, with effective spiritual and shamanic tools, we've both made wonderful breakthroughs in consciousness.
It's too early for us to be more specific about our personal processes. But I want to offer you this encouragement: intensity only arises to catalyze your rise to the next level of your personal evolution. If you need support, my Invocations for Healing & Awakening, Practical Spirituality posts, and EASE (Embodied Awakening Support Experience) program stand ready to help you. All of it's free.

The Pluto Prescription, Part 2: Shadow Work – VIDEO
This 11-minute video picks up where “The Pluto Prescription, Part 1: 4 Releases, 2 Blessings!” ended. In Part 2, I describe how Pluto tends to catalyze shadow work when it has a strong natal placement or makes a significant transit.
Shadow work – working through your emotionally challenging childhood wounds or past life karma – is one of Pluto’s most powerful and consistent themes. I describe a variety of effective shadow work modalities, including my free Healing Invocation.
Watching Part 1 first is ideal, but not essential. Why not take an 11-minute dive into the Plutonian depths with me now? |

"Truly Blessed" by AstroShamanic Life Coaching
“Benjamin, your coaching sessions have helped me be more confident and mature in my interactions with others. I’m taking my responsibilities to myself seriously first, and in doing that I’m feeling better about myself with regards to my family, loved ones and friends.
“What was most helpful was becoming aware of how my body was reacting at any given moment in the sessions. I use the techniques you taught me to be more aware of what's going on inside me, and to remove challenging energies.
“I will definitely be requesting your services in the future. You have truly blessed me! Thank you, and Namaste. 🙏”
– Natasha Ferguson, April 28, 2019
Life-altering Transformation and Healing
"Seldom do I get the chance to meet someone like Benjamin. His depth of knowledge, authenticity and eagerness to serve human evolution deserves attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Benjamin if you desire life-altering transformation and healing. Benjamin is the real deal!"
– Patti Tucker, April 24, 2019 (5-star review) |

The Upside of "Dreadful"
What is distinct about Benjamin's work is his ability to find the upside in even the most dreadful (according to me) aspect. His comments offer a new perspective on old information. Because we cannot change our natal vitae, this is one of the most important talents an astrologer can bring to a reading."
– R.M., April 22, 2019 (5-star review)
Inspired to Start a Fresh Approach
These 90 minutes left me amazed! This was such a powerful and informative reading, painting different aspects of myself in such a charismatic and gentle way. You have truly inspired me to start a fresh approach, using the powerful healing tools you provide so openly!
"The Hoʻoponopono practice of forgiveness you taught me is what I will be focusing on to calm my inner child. Thank you Benjamin, you have truly moved me into a new space."
