chthonic angels guide me.

I'm doing research on Gothicism & Astrology. So far I've been able to go through over 50 charts of authors, actors, directors, designers, musicians, etc. and I am noticing that it's Saturn, not Pluto, that keeps coming up as the dominant influence.

Mary Shelley, Baudelaire, Lovecraft, Lugosi, Lynch, Argento, McQueen, Manson, Bjork, Anne Rice, Sylvia Plath, Tim Burton, etc.

The dominant signature many of them carry is not Pluto, it's Saturn.

Many Saturn-ruled ASC, Saturn on the ASC or aspecting the chart ruler, Saturn in the 1H, Sun in Capricorn/Aquarius, Saturn-Pluto aspects, or tight Sun-Saturn - describes 76% of the sample. Three out of every four gothic figures in the dataset thus far are, structurally, Saturnian before they are anything else.

It makes sense once you ask yourself: "Which planet is gothic culture about?"

Gothic is fundamentally about the non-departure of the past. The haunted house has stopped time. The vampire cannot die. Frankenstein's monster is mortality reversed rather than transcended. Gothic media returns obsessively to ruined castles, ancestral curses, hereditary secrets, family crypts, inherited madness, the past that refuses to be over. It is not the texture of transformation; it is the texture of preservation, of what time will not let go of. It is Saturn's territory at it's core.

Interestingly enough, in older English usage, "Saturnine" originally came from the astrological influence of Saturn: coldness, darkness, melancholy, severity, isolation, contemplation, age, decay, fatalism, and intellectual depth. A "saturnine person" was often imagined as possessing many of the traits that would later become central to gothic aesthetics.

"This is a genius idea: We nationalize Spirit Airlines," Peterson said in the video. "Owned by the people. Airlines gone. We make a new airline." Hunter Peterson, a voice actor with frequent flyer grievances, posted a TikTok asking: What if 20% of American adults chipped in the price of a Spirit fare and just . . . bought it? He called it “Spirit 2.0: Owned by the People.” Within hours he’d thrown up a website — a janky, one-hour job, by his own admission — and by Sunday, 36,000 “founding patrons” had pledged nearly $23 million, crashing his servers in the process.

Uranus in Gemini = New models of thinking about movement, transport, and networks. Revolution in our ideas and ways of travel.

Pluto in Aquarius = Intensification of collective structures, especially around technology, groups, and systems of power. Power shifts to the people.

Neptune in Aries = Evolving ideals around identity, freedom, and self-direction. More people are beginning to believe they have the power to make a difference.

I think with Uranus re-entering Gemini we will see a massive revolution and push for electric vehicles and renewables as a result of the looming oil crisis. There was an oil crisis in the 70's but the conditions were not there for the type of innovation we have now.

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is about communication, information, travel, and networks. Uranus represents sudden innovation, disruption, and liberation.

Uranus in Taurus is about disruption to material foundations (energy, money, resources). We saw this last year when Uranus in Taurus was in the last few degrees, dipped into Gemini, and then retrograded. This is now the final direct pass, the built-up energy, and it's square to the eclipse in Aquarius that happened last month is what has brought all this to a head.

Now, when Uranus re-enters Gemini, the focus will shift from raw disruption to how we adapt and implement solutions.

A couple of big oil companies are experiencing difficult Saturn and Neptune transits over the next few years. This will highlight structural testing and ideological pressure: companies will no longer be able to operate as if the old model is permanent. Some may pivot toward renewables, electric vehicles, or alternative technologies, while others may lose relevance entirely.

I have found myself very inspired lately, coming up with new ideas and stumbling on things I've noticed in Astrology and Tarot. I want to create content and then run into "I don’t know if I should post this." even though I know that content is likely to help me grow.

I want to lean in harder into erotic tarot but sometimes worry if people will think I'm "over sexualizing" when I view sensuality and eroticism differently than overt sexuality.

I often find myself wondering if I'm helping people understand these parts of themselves genuinely or if I'm too focused on "aesthetic" in fear of being seen as polarizing.

In relationships, they activate together:

Sacral = "I want you."

Heart = "I cherish you."

Manifestations:

Sacral without Heart = passion, but unstable or toxic.

Heart without Sacral = safe, but no chemistry.

Both aligned = powerful, conscious love.

I think the relationship number acts like a filter.

For example:

15 (Devil) amplifies sacral themes (passion, temptation).

14 (Temperance) amplifies heart themes (balance, healing).

6 (Lovers) tests conscious choice in love.

Basically the "power" of each chakra can feel stronger or weaker depending on that number. It doesn’t change your chakra itself, but it activates certain layers of it.

I'm thinking of it like this:
