When Pluto got demoted, it made me laugh. Because I (and every person whose credit has crunched recently) are getting punched in the face by it just as much as when it was still officially a planet ( Read more... )

Oh, I didn't know you had an invisible son! He must be related to my invisible boyfriend - they both sound equally calm and beautiful. I know TIB doesn't belong in a body, though.

I'm selfishly relieved that Pluto's rolled out of MY sign. The last 13 years started with major surgery and ended with a (very useful, as it happens) implosion of everything. Now what? Doesn't matter. I think a lot of us speak wolf quite fluently, by now.

What's the deal with the cardinal signs being most affected by the Capricorn transit?

Capricorn is a cardinal sign so that means that when Pluto goes through it it will form major aspects to all Cardinal signs (conjuction to Capricorn, opposition to anything in Cancer and squares to any stuff in Libra and Aries). Major aspects are powerful, so Cardinal people will feel the effects the most in that sense.

It was much the way that Pluto's transit through Sag grilled all the mutable signs, not just the centaur.

What's the mechanism for all this planetary influence stuff supposed to be?

Do Eris and Pluto's other dwarven chums have anything to say for themselves?

Truly, I am not sure that there is one that stands up to scrutiny or logical questioning. I understand why people feel sceptical about this, and I am at a loss to explain it. It's difficult to say HOW it works only that it does. There seems to be a strong correlation between planetary movements and certain psychological patterns and archetypes. One reflects the other and the study of astrology has given me lots of insight.

Richard Tarnas has a good book cosmos and Psyche that basically maps the correlations between the events in the history of the world and the planetary positions/groupings that happened at the time and it is easy to see in those examples that the two are linked.

Good question adn one I have no idea how to answer, since I've never studied that sort of thing.
