How I stopped worrying and learned to love the Uranus/Pluto square
(1) In times of upheaval, the center does not hold. Avoid putting yourself at the center of things. (2) Ignore the news. (3) Don’t try to hold on to what is already gone. (4) When life sends you an atomic bomb, strap on a saddle and say “Yee Haw!” On …
