The Twilight of Pluto

“John Michael Greer is clearly a top-notch astrologer, scholar, and, like Richard Tarnas, a historian with a love of cosmic beauty. The Twilight of Pluto is not only the history of astrology but also the astrology of history. Greer brilliantly demonstrates the mirror of planet and culture, as Pluto moves from theory to discovery to planetary acceptance and then fall and demotion … paradigm-shifting insights! I especially appreciate his bold and positive predictions as the Plutonian era fades. Absolutely fascinating! Once I began reading I couldn’t stop.” * Frederick Hamilton Baker, astrologer and author of Alchemical Tantric Astrology *
“In this relatively small volume, John Michael Greer accomplishes major feats, both intellectual and spiritual. Firstly, he has the scholarly wisdom to place planetary discoveries within the widest possible context, reminding us that the discovery of the visible planets is really the ‘Big Bang’ of Civilization. Then he masterfully applies the alchemical formula solve et coagula to break apart the more modern discoveries, purifying and distilling our understanding of them, before putting them back together into a hopeful new form, using the esoteric tools and cunning for which he’s well known. The result is medicine, in the truest sense of the word.” * Gary P. Caton, astrologer, author of Hermetica Triptycha *

John Michael Greer is a writer, blogger, and independent scholar who has written more than 70 books, including The King in Orange, Circles of Power, and the award-winning New Encyclopedia of the Occult.
