The Changing Sky Quotes

“Some planets naturally fall together as “soft.” They are the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune. Other planets feel “hard.” They are the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto. Mercury seems to be in a category by itself, able to take on the qualities of either type.”
― Steven Forrest, The Changing Sky

“Claiming your right to be yourself: that is the soul of the planet Uranus. It is about freedom—as Jeff Green puts it so eloquently, the “freedom from the known.” And the “known” here is defined as everything conventional people view as “obvious common sense,” all their little formulas for how to be a sane, successful, “normal” person. You have simply reached a point in the journey of your spirit at which you need to gather some experiences that lie outside the pale of the typical human trajectory. You need “a walk on the wild side,” in other words. Too many people have their hooks in you, steering you with their approval and disapproval, their smiles and their snorts.”
