Pluto

Pluto is the Ruling Planet of Scorpio, meaning that its energy reflects the same type of energy as the Zodiac sign. Pluto is one of the planets that make astrologers shudder because it represents our deepest darkest subconsious, and is considered somewhat malefic.

Progressions

Progressions are a mathematical way of moving the planets in your chart. Progressions show the subtle, inner, and psychological influences that influence you as you grow through life experiences. There are several methods for doing this, but the most common is called Secondary Progressions. The idea is that you take on different ‘flavors” as you grow older. A person who was born on the first day of Sagittarius would have a Sagittarian influence for the first thirty years of life. During the second thirty years of life, she or he would still be a Sagittarius. However, she or he would take on a Capricorn influence. This would flavor the adventurous Sagittarian energy with the pragmatic grounding of Capricorn. The easiest way to understand these changing influences is to schedule annual updates with a competent astrologer.

  New Earth-Like Planet Discovered

From the New York Times:
It might be a place that only a lichen or pond scum could love, but astronomers said Wednesday that they had found a very distant planet capable of harboring water on its surface, thus potentially making it a home for plant or animal life.

Nobody from Earth will be visiting anytime soon: The planet, which goes by the bumpy name of Gliese 581g, is orbiting a star about 20 light-years away in the constellation Libra.

But if the finding is confirmed by other astronomers, the planet, which has three to four times the mass of Earth, would be the most Earthlike planet yet discovered, and the first to meet the criteria for being potentially habitable.

“It’s been a long haul,” said Steven S. Vogt of the University of California, Santa Cruz, who, along with R. Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, led the team that made the discovery. “This is the first exoplanet that has the right conditions for water to exist on its surface.”

In a recent report for the National Academy of Science, astronomers declared the finding of such planets one of the major goals of this decade. NASA’s Kepler satellite — which was launched in March 2009 as a way to detect Earthlike bodies — is expected to harvest dozens or hundreds.

Gliese 581g (whose first name is pronounced GLEE-za) circles a dim red star known as Gliese 581, once every 37 days, at a distance of about 14 million miles. That is smack in the middle of the so-called Goldilocks zone, where the heat from the star is neither too cold nor too hot for water to exist in liquid form on its surface.
