Here's a quote and here's the link I pulled it from:
http://newwayastrology.tumblr.com/page/6 Someone told me that they have “bad” transits ahead, that Pluto will transit the Ascendant and there was something about the Node and Saturn in transit.
I just wanted to reiterate to everyone that there is no bad or good. What we have are energy potentials. People can use this energy as they see fit. With the exception of sudden deaths, and some kinds of illness, what happens to us in life is usually the end result of your own actions, not a planet casting fate. If you have been stealing or cheating snd get arrested as transiting Neptune crosses your Ascendant, the arrest was because of your stealing, not because of the planet.
We are not slaves to a fate cast upon us by planets. This kind of thinking is a result of old thinking in astrology. It is how I thought at first. It trains you to fear things. It teaches you that trines are good and squares are bad. That kind of thinking went out with rotary phones. Nothing of life changing significance is symbolized by a transiting trine.
Actor, Ben Affleck is having a great time. He got involved in his first major directing effort last year, has already won awards and is expected to win Oscars. Transiting Pluto was on his Ascendant all last year and transiting Uranus squares it now. The astrology suggests the huge change that has happened. It was beneficial because he has been making an honest, earnest effort on the right path. If he had been selling drugs or doing negative things, the chances are that these transits would have reflected a different reality.
The point is, please stop looking at things in astrology as good or bad. It isn’t the planets. It’s you.
I tend to agree, but maybe that's because I don't like to be a victim. I'd much rather feel like I've got some say in how I experience life.
