Outer vs Inner
There are two important distinctions to be aware of re interpreting current trends. There are what are called ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ planets, describing how close or far they are from earth. Inner planets are called the personal planets and describe our more individual traits and tendencies etc. such as Sun for self, Moon for emotions etc. These planets move fairy quickly and their movement help describe our day to day experiences. Outer planets, on the other hand, move slowly and affect whole generations. They are said to be impersonal and operate as major archetypal forces. Where they are by sign can indicate big energies going on in the world, whereas where they are by house in our own charts shows how those big energies manifest specifically in our personal sphere. So for example… Pluto in Capricorn right now is breaking down and transforming the material world (Capricorn). So, if it is in your 4th house, you might move or be renovating or changing your house in some way.
