Forum: Evolutionary Astrology Q&A

I watched Amadeus last night and was struck by how vividly it illustrated the archetypes of Pluto in Leo and Pluto in Virgo.

I keep thinking about the natural zodiac and using it to find out why each sign is the way it is.

Mozart seemed to embody Leo — unapologetically creating from the heart, expressing life without restraint or question.

Due to this they have developed a deep inner security towards their beliefs and their truths but these beliefs are limited.

It seems to say that in order to expand these beliefs and see their limitations, we must look to the polarity, in this case 3rd house.

But in the end of the the book just after Pluto in Neptune, it felt like JWG said that we come into this life with the security of where Pluto is but in this life our evolutionary intent is…

Hello friends!

I have been thinking about which archetype in the zodiac is linked with "Worry". Virgo seems to be the one that comes to mind, but lately I have also been thinking about Gemini, Capricorn and Scorpio as well. Can you guys share your thoughts and which archetype you to link to worry? Would you say there is one dominant archetype for it, or can you see this manifested in different archetypes.

Thank you for your thoughts!
