Offering a more complete, contemporary, and thorough understanding of this most mysterious of astrological influences.
Discovered in 1930, Pluto has always been the most enigmatic of astrological influences. Its astrological meanings have been almost prised out of the Hadean depths, eventually leading astrologers world wide into a greater understanding of how astrology and psychology can be seen as twins, or at least different sides of the same coin.
Originally published in 2014 before the New Horizons probe reached Pluto, this book has now been re-edited and updated to reflect a growing understanding of how the astronomy and astrology of the Pluto system influences us both personally and collectively, as we accelerate into an ever deeper understanding of the underlying psychological urges that both terrify and empower us.
Steve Judd is a professional astrologer with over 45 years experience and has studied Pluto extensively.
I was swayed after having this book on my to read list for years by an Amazon reviewer saying they'd thought they'd read all there was to know on Pluto thanks to Jeff Green. At first I was disappointed that the update to this book didn't include going further than when it was written in late 2014 but soon forgot about that as i enjoyed the contents and there was an update at the end. This is worth being on any astrologer's shelf. I was a bit puzzled by the comment that it's better to have people 'pissing on the inside of the tent as opposed to the outside.' I think it's supposed to be Lyndon Johnson describing his attitude about J. Edgar Hoover, the quote being "Well, it’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in."
Steve’s book on Pluto is a deep dive into a complex and nuanced topic. Ive studied astrology for 40 years and his views on house placements is phenomenal.
