Slow Moving Planets in Signs and When to Place More Weight on Their Roles in Your Life
Question: Should I read my Pluto in Libra placement the same as any other Libra placement, and will this affect the intensity of my relating patterns, as well as how well I get along with other people, and my sense of fairness and equality in one-on-one partnerships in my life? Am I going to see…...
Should the Signs of the Outer Planets Be Interpreted in an Individual Chart?

Neptune in Aquarius: Romanticized the Idea of Progress Itself
Neptune in Aquarius! A slippery, star-soaked fish swimming through a sign that’s basically the headquarters of sci-fi idealism and techno-utopian dreams. From 1998 to 2012, Neptune sashayed through Aquarius, making its way through the circuitry of the human collective. And what did we get? The rise of social media, a digital realm of avatars and…
Pluto in Capricorn and the Rise of Vampire Archetypes
In 2008, Pluto’s transit into Capricorn—a shift of astrological significance—marked the beginning of transformations in the collective psyche of our society. Among the most curious cultural phenomena to arise during this period was a sudden resurgence of interest in vampires, those beguiling bloodsuckers of myth and lore, as well as other dark, otherworldly figures. This…
Uranus in Aquarius: The Late 1990s
The transit of Uranus through Aquarius speaks to the maverick in all of us. It’s the equivalent of the universe having a midlife crisis, but instead of buying a sports car, it opts to dismantle societal hierarchies and redefine community.
