It’s not a secret or anything, but I don’t mention it often: there exist a number of planets that don’t have bodies. They are like the souls of planets, with known orbits, used by a very few astrologers. No astronomer would agree that they exist. They all come from Germany and are products of the 20th century. One of them is called Transpluto.

I didn’t use Transpluto until a software update came out, introducing it to my charts. I had heard of it years ago, but never tuned in: Chiron and the new discoveries of ‘real’ planets were enough. But over the past 14 months I have been working with Transpluto, I’ve noticed that it’s an interesting, useful entity to include in charts. Its theme: narrow focus; specificity; sometimes to a fault.

All planets and points behave or perform differently depending on what other points they align with. Transpluto aligned with Mercury is going to be one thing, with Venus another and with the Sun yet another. Today, the Sun in the last degree of Aquarius is precisely opposite Transpluto in the last degree of Leo. So we get a kind of laser focus of the Sun; of the creative impulse.

Transpluto moves slowly, taking hundreds of years to ‘orbit’ the Sun. It is parked for a while in the last degree of Leo, which has an interesting degree symbol — An Unsealed Letter. This is the idea that eventually, everything about us will be known and is subject to being known; there are no secrets. Transpluto is taking about something highly specific that we consider a secret, which is destined for all to know.

Today the Sun opposite this point is shining some light on what that might be.
