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...
