Pluto & Soul Evolution Traditional Vedic Astrology typically doesn't look at the influence and role of Pluto on our soul evolution, as the planet wasn't technically discovered until the 1930s. However, understanding the placements of Pluto in our Vedic (or Sidereal) astrology charts enables an insight into some of our karmic lessons, and therefore the possibilities for soul evolution. So, in this episode, Tarra shines a light on Pluto, how it might play out in our astrological charts, and how we can ultimately use these insights for the purpose of soul evolution. In This Episode: A background on Pluto: its discovery and later its re-categorisation (as a dwarf planet), its orbit, and how it's considered Mars's higher octave planet The current transits: where Pluto is currently (according to both Western Astrology and Vedic Astrology), what this means from an energetic perspective for the collective, and what we can learn Evolutionary Astrology for personal growth and evolution, and how Tarra is fusing Evolutionary with Vedic to uncover past-life dynamics and soul purpose Tarra's thoughts on reincarnation, soul evolution and Moksha - how the soul is eternal while the physical body is only temporary on our journey back to Source Pluto and our karmic journey: what it can show about where we left off and what it teaches us about the lessons and challenges we may experience in this lifetime or incarnation Tarra's personal experience with gaining insight and conscious awareness from her Pluto placement and its themes, lessons and opportunities Working with the placements of Pluto as a tool for deep inner healing and shadow work for transformation and final liberation More...
