Today, October 11, we talked with astrologer and author Adrian Ross Duncan on our podcast. The You Tube will go up before the end of October.
He was on our podcast in 2020, before the election, and predicted a Biden win. So naturally we had questions for him about this election. But I also had questions about Pluto’s transit into Aquarius, for the first time in 248 years.
Adrian talked about Pluto’s meaning in astrology – the underworld, underground, what isn’t seen – in other words, Pluto governs the deep stuff.
“Did Pluto’s demotion as a planet affect it in astrology?” Rob asked.
Well, my answer to that was that if astrologers ignore Pluto in reading a chart, they do so at their own peril and that of their client. But Adrian’s answer is the hallmark of an astrologer whose knowledge and expertise is the result of story, practice, and synchronicity.
He related the story of Natascha Maria Kampusch. On March 1998, when she was 10, Natascha was abducted add held in a secret cellar by her kidnapper for more than 8 years until she escaped on August 23, 2006.
So it was a Pluto experience – the abduction, how she was kept underground, the dark ugliness of the whole thing. Here’s the synchronicity. She escaped, broke that Pluto chain on the day before Pluto was demoted as a planet and relegated to one of dozens of known dwarf planets. This happened in Prague on August 24, 2006, with a vote form the International Astronomical Union. Upon her escape, her kidnapper, Wolfgang Přiklopil, “killed himself by stepping in front of train at a nearby station.” (Wikipedia).
Natascha went on to write a book – 3096 Days – that was published in 2010 and adapted into a film in 2013.
Oh – and Adrian, who accurately predicted a Biden win in 2020 when we had him on our podcast – predicted a win for Harris/ Walz. His appearance goes up on October 20 and the information he shares is fascinating!
