Frankenstein, AI, and Pluto in Aquarius: we can feel that they have similar themes, but what does the astrology say?
While Uranus is in Gemini, liberation songs are everywhere, but not all of them lead to liberation. This essay traces the difference between diffusion and catharsis through the story of the Toddler Liberation Front, a chant Ada Pembroke wrote for her daughter and later recognized as an accidental Uranus in Gemini technique.
