Hi Dominikas, I would refer back to your post where Ari answered this because he also added some of JWG’s own words. You are correct in the sense that it is where one can create a skipped step in the next lifetime. It also reflects there have been some issues regarding the lunar nodes and their rulers and in this lifetime they are meant to actualize those nodes through the Sun. Much love, Jordyn

Hi Dominikas, There is a book titled "Essays in Evolutionary Astrology" where in the chapter "The Planetary Method of Evolutionary Chart Analysis" goes over the questions you are asking. That chapter is an old JWG lecture he gave. That is where I would start, if you don't already have this book. Here is a little from that chapter in the book regarding the Sun: " ....the Sun specifically correlates to how we are integrating and giving purpose and meaning to our current life experience. So in essence we are describing an evolutionary transition in our A B list (Pluto, the lunar sn, its ruler, the moon, and the lunar nn and its ruler, along with the PPP), an evolutionary transition from past to the current life. The Sun is now going to show you how that is integrated and given purpose and meaning in the context of the current life". -JWG The Sun is a filter for the chart, every experience that you have will be filtered through that Sun in order to actualize the bottom line of your or anyone's chart. As an example, I have the Moon in Libra in the 6th and a Sun in Capricorn in the 9th. Every emotional experience I have had that has been extreme (Moon in Libra) or that has been about improving upon these extremes (Moon in the 6th) has been filtered through my Sun in Capricorn in the 9th. Essentially, I have been actualizing my chart through becoming my own authority and reconnecting with my authenticity and personal truths (Sun in Capricorn/9th) and have learned how to do so through the extreme experiences of abandoning myself in the past (Libra Moon in the 6th). This is to just give you a little bit of an idea of how the Moon and Sun work within the Pluto Paradigm without going into my whole chart, as that is not part of the rules on the message board. Hopefully that simple example helps though. Maybe utilize a chart of a well-known person on this thread so that you can practice chart interpretation and receive feedback so you can expand on your understanding. That way it's more tangible and it also gives others an opportunity to learn from it. Much Love, Jordyn

Hi Dominikas, I find that when using aspects and phases to layer into the synthesis it's best to start simple. Then build out. A great way to start is to look at the squares and the conjunctions first. We know that both can bring tension. Then we can look at the phasal relationship to see just what kind of tension that brings to those planets. The same can be done with trines and sextiles. Understanding trines and sextiles we can look at if someone has become stuck in a "lazy" type of way, meaning that they are used to the status quo of that energy. Then you can look at what needs to be worked on within those two planets forming the trine or sextile to see what kind of integration is needed through the phasal relationship, to get "unstuck". If you would like, I think this would be a great opportunity to find a chart of someone well known to do a chart example to help you out. If you are up for it, I am more than happy to help you and to answer the questions along the way. That way we can see the totality of a chart and work from there. Much Love, Jordyn

Hi Charlotte, I can offer this. Something that a lot of people don't recall when dealing with interpreting Jupiter is that so often it's not just about beliefs, but also about TRUTH. Truth is very different. Jupiter and Venus are naturally connected through the zodiac in a YOD (Sagittarius, Libra, and Taurus). What I see often when there is a dynamic like the one you speak of is that someone is needing to RECOVER their personal TRUTHS because old conditioned/learned beliefs that are impacting their inner relationship to self (Taurus/Venus). If this is in the 4th house and in Virgo, this could be beliefs that perpetuate crisis and a lack of inner security because they have become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If I am told I am a POS my whole life, then I might, depending on my stage of evolution, make that a self-fulfilling prophecy. The actual TRUTH (Sagittarius/Jupiter) is that one is not a POS and HAS WORTH. So that can be what needs to be worked on; beliefs versus truths about oneself. Hope this helps. Much Love, Jordyn

Hi Rad, Take care of yourself. Big hugs sent to you. Much Love, Jordyn

I have been having this happen to me as well, every post I make is pending, even when I try to edit it (lots of Virgo here...) after it does get approved, it doesn't let me edit and says the same thing. I can respond to people, but I can't post.

Hey Stacie, I think Annie is referring to the DVD correspondence course because JWG talks about the nature of Evil. He doesn't mention the ascendancy of Evil on there though. I am going to comb through what I call the "old old" message board from 99-03 for you to see if I can find some more. Hopefully Rad can get back to you though. Much Love, Jordyn

Hi Lou, I agree with what everyone has said. I will say, Rad made an excellent point. For me, personally, understanding the archetypes of each sign were paramount. Once there is a foundation for understanding the sign's archetypes it just continues to expand from there. What really helped me besides the old message board and the Pluto books, was the correspondence DVD's. I immersed myself in them and took notes and then correlated to charts of others. In the correspondence DVD's JWG goes over the archetypes. I also want to say that in my experience the first thing I started seeing in charts was repeating themes. Once I started to understand the archetypes the repeating themes started to tell a story of that person's chart. The "story" would then be validated through that person talking about something or me asking them questions. That gave me the direct experience of observing the archetypes. I don't think any one of us is going to ever know everything about astrology, that's kind of the beauty of it. It keeps us always striving to learn and understand more deeply. One of my favorite things to do is to go back and re-read the Pluto books and old message boards. To also go back and rewatch different sections of the correspondence DVD's. I learn something new each time! That and just talking to other astrologers and what I call "nerding out" on charts. That way you hear other's perspectives about the archetypes and it broadens your own understanding of them. Lastly, just doing charts is helpful. It creates action and from that you get feedback. That feedback deepens your understanding of the archetypes. At some point knowledge whether its reading or watching needs to be put in action in order to have the direct experience of it. Let us know if there is anything we can help you with. Much Love and Blessings, Jordyn

I would see if Rad can clarify, but to me it is no different than when a planet squares the nodes and is in the same house as another planet that is not, you wouldn't look at the other planets that are not square the axis. It is just the angles square, so just look at the angles and their rulers.

Here is the 99-03 message board pdf, hopefully this link works msgboard_1999-2003.pdf

Hi Rad, Thank you! This kind of reminds me of the same dynamic when someone has a last quarter square in their chart, and they are deciding to throw everything off wholesale. That makes sense though because we are talking about the angles, and they are square to each other. Goddess bless, Jordyn

Yes, you would look at the planetary rulers by house and sign and what they are aspecting and then funnel it into the bottom line of the Pluto Paradigm. Honestly, when I see this in charts usually it ends up being a repeating signature in the overall chart, some type of theme within the core dynamics of the Pluto Paradigm. Much Love, Jordyn

Hi astrologybynatasha, On the old message board and in the EA glossary Rad answered this question, here is the excerpt from the EA glossary: "The MC, IC, AC and DC are CURRENT LIFE SYMBOLS DETERMINED BY THE MOMENT OF BIRTH that correlate to the current evolutionary intentions of the Soul. Thus, when the Nodes square any of these points, there is a specific evolutionary reason for that. And if those reasons are not fulfilled THEN it will correlate to SKIPPED STEPS IN THE NEXT LIFE. So, for example, if this were the Nodes squaring the MC-IC axis this could show up in the next life as the Nodes squaring Saturn and/or the Moon. - Rad" Hope this helps. Much Love, Jordyn

I am also going to post this from the old thread in case anyone comes across this and wants to learn more about geodetic equivalents. Geodetic Equivalents (schoolofevolutionaryastrology.com)

Hi Rad, Thank you for your response, no apology necessary:) I understand that we don't always see the responses on the message board. Goddess Bless, Jordyn

Hi Rad, Thank you! Goddess Bless, Jordyn

Hi Lou, I am here whenever anyone wants to start doing it! If you have a chart that you want to put up and go over, go ahead!

Hi Rad, I don't know if you saw and I apologize if you did, but I did comment on Harriet Tubman's chart. If you saw it and didn't want to respond, I understand. I also know this message board is not as easily accessible as the old one from what I have heard. Much love and gratitude, Jordyn

Hi Rad, I am going to keep holding onto faith that humanity can make better choices. Thank you for clarifying this for me. Goddess Bless, Jordyn

Hi Rad, I do have a question for clarification, and I hope I am not taking more than I should be, I just can't find this answer and I do have an intuitive sense.....are we attempting to move into matriarchal times? This being a part of rebalancing and harmonization. To me this would indicate moving into a time period that is meant to counteract the extremes but eventually move us back into Natural Times (an extreme that counteracts an extreme)? This seems like a "marathon" not a "sprint" over thousands upon thousands of years. I want to make sure I am understanding this. From what I am researching this specific question has not been answered, this also feels true to me, but I am someone recovering my intuition and I want to make that clear, I could be wrong. If we are dealing with reincarnation, I think it is wise to hold a sincere intention about what is at play.... again, the natural law of extremes to counteract extremes. I want to do my due diligence. Goddess Bless, Jordyn
