Sarah DeHaven Evolutionary Astrology
Sarah DeHaven came to evolutionary astrology the way most people find the things that change their lives — someone told her not to. Too out there. Too weird. Even for astrologers.
She read the book anyway. Jeff Wolfgreen's Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul. Deep psychology meets soul trajectory. Not 'you're a Taurus, so this' — but why you incarnated with specific vulnerabilities, what you came here to experience, and how you make it happen through the law of polarity.
This conversation moves through the mechanics of EA — Pluto, nodes, natal positions, transits — but it's not a technical tutorial. It's a mirror. Sarah unpacks her own chart: Aries moon, Mars on the south node, agoraphobia for a decade, the sociopathic wiring she absorbed from family and had to unlearn. The way EA gave her permission to see anger not as a flaw but as a feature — something she incarnated with for a reason.
Joel and Yerasimos bring human design, tarot, and their own frameworks into the fold. The three of them land on the same question from different angles: what happens when you stop betraying the deeper truth of who you are?
- Evolutionary astrology as psychology EA isn't predictive fortune-telling. It's depth psychology through the lens of Pluto, the nodes, and soul evolution. Pluto shows the deepest psychological needs you incarnated with. The south node reveals the comfort zone and conditioning you're drawing from. The north node points to what's unfolding — the growth edge your soul is moving toward.
- Functional freeze in the collective Sarah frames Corona as the 'trauma bomb' dropped right as the U.S. and the collective were moving toward entrepreneurship, individuation, and reclaiming the founding principles. Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn just before Saturn-Jupiter in Aquarius — the control system fusing together to squeeze the momentum.
- Aquarius — individuation or technocracy The age of Aquarius speaks to individuation, remembering who you are from the unconscious, bringing it forward into behavior. But Aquarius distorted = technocracy, digital IDs, metaverse, exclusion, cliques. The natural iteration vs. the corrupted one depends on how authentically people walk their path.
- Retrograde as reliving, not dysfunction Retrogrades are yin time — inward, introspective, slower. People freak out because they're conditioned to yang-mode 24/7. But retrogrades in a natal chart mean you're reliving experiences to gain context and recondition yourself. Rebellion from conditioning, reconditioning, and deeper self-awareness.
- Divination increases intuition Sarah came to EA after being told it was 'too out there' by mainstream astrologers. The book that shifted everything: Jeff Wolfgreen's *Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul*. Tarot, I Ching, astrology — these tools develop somatic awareness and reconnect you to your navigational system when conditioning has clouded it.
- The apophatic path to individuation Michael Tsarion's apophatic approach — realizing what you're not as the path to discovering what you are. Libra-Aries polarity: Libra loses itself in relating, Aries initiates instinctively. Individuation isn't becoming someone new — it's remembering who you've always been and living that without betraying it.
- Composite charts as relationship entity Synastry overlays two charts. Composite blends them into a third — the relationship itself as a separate being. Shows the dynamics the relationship will enter, what it's here to create, how the couple interfaces. Particularly useful for parents, partnerships, anyone navigating shared purpose.
- The fear of your own power Sarah's closing principle: most people aren't aware they're afraid of their power. Memory — personal and ancestral — codes the belief that it's unsafe to be fully empowered. But at this point in reality, that's no longer true. Knowing yourself and being yourself isn't selfish. It's the only real contribution.
