Currently, we are at the transitioning cusp between Aries Uranus and Taurus Uranus. We saw a glimpse of Taurus Uranus earlier this year, before it went retrograde back into the fiery sign of Aries.
This changing period allows us to reflect on what we saw and what we want to see. From violent extremes to growing green pastures, I have hope for Taurus Uranus.

When you first learn about a placement, the obvious thing to do is look for descriptions, however these can be extremely unhelpful. Why? No description will ever fully encapsulate a placement. It will focus on one idea of it, or go straight to possible conclusions without explaining why those could be true.
Instead, I prefer to take the ‘anti-description’ route. When I start learning, I look to each part of the placement for its ingredients and build them together myself. In this way, you can see all the possible conclusions a placement may take.
With this in mind, I’ve compiled a cheat sheet of possible ingredients of each aggregate: signs, modalities, elements, planets, houses, and aspects!
A great way to practice and explore astrological concepts and portrayals is to take characters from shows and attempt to give them placements! In this post, I will be discussing possible placements for Elsa from Frozen.
Note: There is no right or wrong as she is a fictional character, so if you feel differently, you are absolutely right, too! Feel free to add comments and suggestions!
In present day, the term ‘romantic’ connotes love, relationships and affections, but dating back to the middle of the 1800s, the term was picked up to describe an age of art and literature just passed which argued for nature and feelings as opposed to the industrialisation of the world and its people.
Broadly, the Romantic Era in Britain is laid out to be 1800 to 1850, works created in this time coming as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution which began circa 1760. However, the term ‘romanticism’ is known to specifically apply to works created between 1790 and 1820.
It’s undeniable that Charlotte Brontë based a lot of the feelings and events of Jane Eyre on her own personal experiences, even if she didn’t mean to. From certain names to character roles, Jane Eyre’s life appears to resemble Charlotte’s. For this reason, I analysed Brontë’s chart to see if it appeared linked to Jane Eyre’s attitudes and behaviours. I always saw fire in the character of Jane, mainly Aries, and so my first hypothesis before pulling Brontë’s chart up was that she would have, perhaps, Aries Moon Continue reading Charlotte Brontë and Jane Eyre: Astrological Links
We all know that Pluto is a generational planet and one of destructive, but that isn’t to say it doesn’t or couldn’t have positive personal meanings. It has deeper, growth-related meanings than just generational destruction. It stands for rebirth and renewal, at its utmost core! It’s what is ever-changing, if a little out of touch, for us. What I’m focusing on today is Pluto’s link to a transforming energy within us.
Scorpio is the sign of which it rules, and so naturally it’s a subconscious force, changing up and rebuilding us beneath what we can immediately relate to. Naturally sitting in the eighth house, it also has links to suffering and trauma, as we may already be aware. That can seem scary, but transformation of the deepest kind will almost inevitably be linked to some form of suffering on our own parts.
When Pluto is in retrograde, the effects are internalised, making outward effects less likely. For example, where someone with Pluto in the 5th may create transformative art and express themselves differently from month to month, someone with this same placement in retrograde can feel unable to do this. They may have the thoughts and want to create themselves over and over again, but outwardly expressing this becomes difficult. It’s likely that transformation of their self is not something they feel they can accomplish on the outside, but on the inside they are expanding into a new, revived version of themselves.
However, Pluto’s positive transformation relies on personal growth. What about when it hasn’t grown? Underdeveloped Pluto or planets under Plutonian aspect will be destructive outwardly. This can mean hurting those around them or things around them. A good example would be underdeveloped Pluto to Mars contacts being harsh, aggressive, or violent.
It stays in any sign from about 14 – 30 years, so obviously the sign it is in has less personal effect, but that doesn’t mean Pluto won’t be felt personally. The house and aspects to other placements is entirely based on the individual chart, and this post will be discussing Pluto within each house!
You can also check the house which your Pluto is currently transiting through, as this will show which area of life you’re undergoing transformation in.
