This article is about the nodal axis from the perspective of evolutionary astrology. A central teaching within Evolutionary Astrology is that the Soul contains within it two antithetical, yet co-equal, desires: one to return to source, and one to separate away. Evolution occurs as the Soul progressively purges and exhausts separating desires from lifetime to lifetime. We all have specific and unique life lessons that are reflected in the natal chart. In Evolutionary Astrology, Pluto by house and sign indicates the core evolutionary desires and intentions of the past (where we left off and where we pick up), and Pluto's polarity point reflects the evolutionary intentions for this life.

Should you be thinking about school or further professional development right now?

So as a planet moves through its normal orbit, its energy changes and those changes are ...

In other words, the cardinal archetype symbolizes the need to initiate change. However, the necessary change typically occurs as the famous "one step forward, two steps back." This is because of an inherent insecurity that all of us experience when initiating change that threatens our known, or familiar, way of operating. The point within in this is that the cardinal archetypes symbolize specific dynamics, or areas, in our lives in which all of us can create necessary evolutionary change. Each ...
