In astrology, some parts of the psyche are heavy. In a chart, Saturn and Pluto show where you do not get to remain unconscious without consequences. They mark the places where life becomes serious. Something in you is powerful enough...
Pluto, or Hades-Pluto if you want to give the old god his full subterranean dignity, represents the hidden realm beneath ordinary life, the place where everything buried, feared, forgotten, or suppressed is stored. In astrology, this makes him far more...
When we speak of Pluto in astrology, we are speaking of the archetype of descent. Of endings. Of the ego cracking like porcelain dropped on marble. Sometimes Pluto deals with physical abuse, sexual violence, death, threats, a feeling of being...
Pluto is the dark planet of the soul, draped in myth and meaning, looming at the edge of our psychic solar system. When this planet is emphasized in a chart (Pluto aspecting luminaires, angular, 8th house planets) it brings existential...
Pluto doesn’t respect boundaries in the traditional sense. It acknowledges them. When it transits, it tests those lines you drew, those firm “I’ll never do this” or “I could never survive that” boundaries – and it says, “Really? Let’s find...
Pluto is the soul’s dark night, the quiet hours of reckoning, the sitting in silence with a truth so terrible and beautiful that it cannot be denied. There’s a violence to Pluto’s work. Violence in the way a forest fire clears...

Pluto is the subterranean agent of transformation. It carries all the bits we thought we buried under politeness, performance, and perfection. And how earnestly we curate our image! The benevolent smile, the thoughtful nod, the socially aware quip. It’s our...
The planet Pluto is the icy outlier in our planetary system, both distant and yet eerily intimate. Some astrologers say it reveals where the old shell of the personality still lingers with unprocessed psychic energy. This is the domain of...
Question: In an astrology chart, what would make someone a “pity magnet”? Someone who, whether or not they actually have many issues or problems, always receives pity and attention from others—an “oh, poor you.” What a deliciously curious question you’ve...
In astrology, Pluto, is the deep-digging, dark-dwelling, truth-drilling planet, especially when it comes to the soul. It doesn’t say, “Improve slightly,” it screams, “Transform utterly!” Pluto doesn’t skirt around the edges of your identity. It unearths the forgotten in your...
Question: I was just wondering what, in a natal chart, might cause someone to become extremely bitter and jaded. When we’re little kids, we tend to be open and hopeful because we haven’t yet been smacked in the face by...
