"Pluto in Aquarius - Pathways of Power"
Pluto begins its move from Capricorn into Aquarius in March 2023, yet intimations of its ingress currently percolate in our collective and personal lives via Saturn's presence in Aquarius. Considering that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all made their way through Aquarius during the 1990s and early 2000s into 2012, Pluto's entrance into Aquarius is like the long Third Act of a drama that began decades (if not centuries) ago.
In astrology we typically associate Pluto with power. Each planet represents different kinds of power, so what makes Pluto's power unique? This webinar explores Pluto's pathways of power in the sign of Aquarius, at the historical and societal levels, and perhaps most importantly at the soul (psychological) and archetypal levels. We will look at what Pluto has been up to in the sign of Capricorn (activating the Cancer-Capricorn axis), and how Pluto activates the Leo-Aquarius axis. With on-point guidance along the way via the words of Jung, Hillman, a Nobel Laureate or three, and perhaps even a fairy tale, this webinar will start preparing us for the profound shifts ahead.

“Astrology & Fairy Tales - Spinning Straw into Gold”
Fairy tales have gained a reputation in modern times as being a step removed from so-called “reality,” largely due to the wish for a happy ending that never really seems to arrive in “real” life. As reflections of psychic reality, however, fairy tales suggest that the soul seems far less interested in happy endings than in expressing through these varied tales the wider dynamic range of its inherent, archetypal complexity – the same archetypal complexity reflected in an astrological chart.
This webinar explores the nature of fairy tales, their roots and role in history and culture, and how they can enhance our astrological imagination, turning charts themselves into fairy tales. Whether entering the dark forest or an enchanted wood, or longing to go to the ball, fairy tale imagery aligns with the planets, signs, houses, and aspects familiar to all of us. Specific examples will help start spinning the straw of a chart into golden threads of insight. Along the way we will also look at how fairy tales can be particularly relevant as Jupiter, Saturn, and eventually Pluto all make their way through the sign of Aquarius now and in the coming years.
