I highlighted much. Personally, I havenever delved into transits beyond occasionally hearing when Mercury is in retrograde. Big believer in natal charts. Mine is a fucking mess. https://medium.com/p/44844aeb232e
As I commented on one astrology article recently, https://medium.com/third-eye-gypsy/cosmic-equilibrium-walking-the-astrological-tightrope-of-belief-and-skepticism-c2aab85208c7, "And we should always remember that no matter what our charts say, free will can overcome most of it."
You mentioned evolutionary astrology and our soul contracts/lesson plans/improv scripts. One Medium denizen, who is great and unfortunately we had a falling out, gave me an EA reading of my chart that he whipped up in about 45 minutes. Fascinating. https://1drv.ms/w/s!ApKazym64qA9iTiLvrzj4HFFHaAZ?e=V4ugvt
