The death of Paul Newman provides the ancient sky with a compelling and powerful story of fate for examination using Five Pillars techniques.

Pluto has been travelling over the last 5 degrees of Sagittarius for quite some time now. I have a 27 Sagittarius ascendant, and Pluto’s transformational influence is affecting many areas of my life.
