As the indicator of transformation and the starting point for understanding all factors in the natal chart, Pluto is one of the most important planets to focus on in chart analysis. Inspired by the bestselling Pluto Volumes 1 and 2 by the author's father, Jeffrey Wolf Green - renowned astrologer and founder of Evolutionary Astrology - this groundbreaking book takes that original work to new heights and makes the study of Evolutionary Astrology clear and practical for modern-day use. This inspiring book teaches you the key essentials of chart interpretation by focusing on Pluto and the locations of your north and south nodes, so you can figure out the steps you need to take in order to grow-and ultimately discover your soul's karmic mission.

While studying Evolutionary Astrology with Jeff Green, regression therapist Patricia Walsh realised that the potent combination of the two disciplines could help to resolve current issues which have their roots in past life experiences. The types ofissues that arise in past life regressions to be healed are also the exact dynamics that Evolutionary Astrology aims to describe.

Evolutionary astrology holds the key to life's most profound mysteries: Where does the soul come from? How can we grow spiritually? What are our intended life lessons? Shedding new light on these vitally important questions, well-known astrologer Rose Marcus has compiled a collection of illuminating essays by today's foremost evolutionary astrologers. Each contributor offers fascinating perspectives on evolutionary astrology and explores various aspects of Pluto's role in determining the soul's evolving needs and desires. Jeffrey Wolf Green, the world-renowned founder of this specialized field of study, begins the book with an exploration of the four natural evolutionary laws that propel soul growth. Deva Green continues with a discussion of how Pluto drives our evolutionary growth, illustrated with case studies and charts of notable figures such as President Barack Obama. Contributors also explore Pluto's influence on the sexual and relationship characteristics of each zodiacal sign, the fulfillment of human potential, the dynamics between twins, past life regression, the interpretive importance of planetary nodes, and the cultural significance of Pluto entering Capricorn.

Praise: "If you have ever wondered about the premises of evolutionary astrology, this book is a must read, covering many dimensions of the subject expounded by highly respected teachers, lecturers, and authors of the system as well as the founder himself, Jeffrey Wolf Green. It is insightful, inspirational, and even controversial, providing the reader with much to ponder."—CHRIS MCRAE, professional astrologer and vice president of the International Society of Astrological Research "[Insights into Evolutionary Astrology] is one of the most insightful and original books on the subject of astrology that is currently in print. The articles are very diverse, well thought out and presented in an easily and understandable fashion for both the practicing astrologer and interested lay person." —LYNN NEESE, former president of both the Seattle Astrologers Association and the Washington Astrologers Association

When Jeffrey Wolf Green retired and went into seclusion he left his daughter Deva with everything that he had ever written which included drafts of various manuscripts which he had intended to publish at various points. This also included every audio tape, video, dvd, and transcript of his lectures delivered over a lengthy career. He also gave Deva his business and asked her to carry on with it. This book refl ects her desire to continue to disseminate his work as widely as possible. In Essays on Evolutionary Astrology: The Evolutionary Journey of The Soul there is a combination of transcribed lectures with parts of various manuscripts, most of which has never been in print before.

In RELATIONSHIPS: OUR ESSENTIAL NEEDS the core archetypes are presented that correlate with how to understand the essential needs of any Soul in the context of the relationships that it forms with others in general, and its intimate others specifically. The very first chapter presents an evolutionary astrology paradigm that needs to be deeply grasped in order to understand the inherent architecture within the consciousness of all our Souls that serves as the foundation upon which the root essential needs for any Soul exist. The nature and function of Venus, the nature and function of Mars, the relationship between Pluto, the Soul, and its lower octave, Mars, and the phasal relationship of Mars and Venus are all intensely discussed and presented in order to understand the fuller picture of the essential needs that the Soul has within the relationships that it forms. The signs that both Mars and Venus are in are also presented in order for this understanding to be deepened. The core or root evolutionary cause or intention for the Soul's relationship to another Soul is then discussed in the chapter, Pluto in the Composite Chart. This correlates to two Souls coming together in a relationship that symbolizes where the Souls have been together, the core evolutionary needs and intentions, prior to the current life as well as what the current life evolutionary reasons are in order for those two Souls to continue to evolve in their relationship. Pluto is discussed in each house and sign with its corresponding polarities in each of the natural evolutionary stages of development: the consensus, individuated, and spiritual stages of evolution. And, finally, the last chapter deals with one couple's evolutionary journey together that focuses on the entire core archetypes discussed throughout this book. This book is based on an extraction from Pluto (Vol. II): The Soul's Evolution through Relationships. Specific chapters in that comprehensive book have been chosen for the purposes of this book, which is to help us understand the core and essential needs that we all have in the relationships that we form.

For novice students as well as experienced astrologers seeking a holistic look at the foundations, this accessible and fascinating study is filled with down-to-earth examples and carefully considered explanations of the profound spiritual elements behind various astrological concepts.

According to professional astrologr Steven Forrest, behind your familiar astrological chart lies another chart entirely, one whose existence you may never have suspected. This chart tells the tale of who you were in a prior lifetime. It speaks of what wounded you then and what work you left undone.
