| Neptune | |
| Table tapping, mystic trances, the haze of alcohol. All ruled by Neptune, which rules the unseen, emotional waves of humanity. It is considered the higher octave of the Moon. Where the Moon is concerned with everyday emotions, Neptune deals with more elevated-and collective feelings. Because of Neptune's discovery in the early 19th century, Neptune to me takes on a Victorian cast. Recall the widespread use of opium and narcotics, the vast expansion of interest in the unseen, and the gaslight era. On a personal level, Neptune rules suscepiblity to drugs and narcotics, and the ability to harness the imagination. | |
| Pluto | |
| Pluto is the planet of transformation through death, decomposition, and of course-nuclear fission. This is usually through generational phenomena-usually a lot of people in your generation go through the same thing at the same time. Only if it aspects a personal planet does it manifest in a more personal way. But when it does, it becomes the "end of the old way, and the beginning of the new way" along with seemingly compulsive behavior. This is the source of the "mass movement" influence of Pluto.
Freud and psycholanalysis is a Pluto phenomenon, looking under the surface at the deep primal drives that motivate people and then making them conscious, and what was very controversial in his day, acknowledging that sex is one of those primal drives. Victorian ideals were that sex was considered unruly and not worthy of consideration except for children, and to satisfy the bestial part of men. (Women were not allowed to acknowledge those feelings) Needless to say, this created the modern industry of pornography and other underground outlets for such drives. Being illegal and unacknowledged, it became a source of great fortune (Pluto) for those who had little respect for the law. (Pluto again) The underworld lives off of those primal drives, supplying illicit drugs, illicit sex, violence for profit. The house Pluto resides is where all of this stuff works out in a person's chart. In the United States chart, the compulsion is through the acquisition and use of money. Hitler rants, huge armies assemble, the vast utilization of power both physical and political. Obsessions become global in scope and transform themselves into movements whether organized or disorganized. That's Pluto. But that's the destructive side. The constructive side is the growing use of x-rays and radiation to heal, the ability to map the human genome and eventually do away with such horrors and hemophilia. Hemophilia-that's where the revolutionary, genetic, and detructive aspects of Pluto all meet. The story: Queen Victoria had (perhaps by mutation) an carrier gene for hemophilia. Several of her daughters married into royal families, particularly the Royal Family of Russia. Due to royal inbreeding, Queen Alexandra married into the Russian royal family and gave birth to Prince Alexi, who was hemophiliac and was prone to bleeding. Her desire to protect her wounded Prince led her to stubbornly resist any attempts at reforming the outdated royal system of Russia for fear her son would be harmed in some way. So instead of a reformed modern system that would have channeled revolutionary pressures into real reform, the pressures lead to the embrace of radical revolution instead. It also leads the royals to be so obsessed with the fate of the Prince that they were listening to Rasputin instead of experienced political leadership trying to warn them of the danger. After all, Rasputin was a holy man who could keep Alexi alive, and they feared losing Rasputin. We all know what happened in the end-violent, explosive, and degenerative to say the least. Millions died in the ensuing holocausts that followed. |

| Chiron | |
| Chiron, the wounded healer. Chiron the maverick, the bridge between Saturn(the past) and Uranus (the future)The blend of tradition with innovation, the herbal healer with as stethoscope who has suffered the wound he/she is trying to heal. Think of all of the self-help groups and books written by people who have suffered from a particular problem, and who have no patience for simply following the "authorities" but at the same time, don't disparage professionalism. When the experience is integrated properly into a person, there can be valuable new lessons learned on how to handle a particular problem, based on authentic knowledge. | |

Ceres deals with the actual supplying of nourishment. Cancer deals with the principle, Ceres the goods, which is why Cereal is named after this particular planet and goddess.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diem nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut lacreet dolore magna aliguam erat volutpat.

Mark Twain said he was born under a comet, and would go under a comet. Comets in early astrology was considered an omen of either diaster or greatness. A comet in a modern chart would be treated the same as any other celestial visitor and given its own chart. |
