Align with your Soul’s Purpose & Trajectory

What is Evolutionary Astrology?

Evolutionary Astrology is a profound approach to astrology that views the birth chart as a map of the soul’s evolution across lifetimes. Rooted in the work of Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green, among others, this segment of astrology is centered on the idea that each person incarnates with a unique karmic history and a purpose for growth in this lifetime. It is not about rigid fate or prediction but about free will, self-awareness, and spiritual development.

There are two distinct styles of Evolutionary Astrology, focusing on:

  1. Pluto’s Placement (Jeffrey Wolf Green Method)
    Pluto represents the deep evolutionary impulses that drive the soul across lifetimes. It reveals where we’ve been, our karmic patterns, and what must be transformed to move forward.

  2. The Lunar Nodes (Steven Forrest Method)

    The South Node symbolizes past-life tendencies, skills, and unresolved karma and the North Node points toward new growth, highlighting the lessons and qualities the soul seeks to cultivate in this incarnation. Through detailed analysis of SN and NN rulership and aspects, a story emerges of where you are coming from and where you are headed.

“The cornerstone of Evolutionary Astrology is the life-shaping power of conscious choice—a willingness to work on one’s self. Thus, any kind of dead-end or fatalistic astrological interpretation is too narrow. We can always reach for the higher ground.”

-Steven Forrest, Yesterday's Sky: Astrology and Reincarnation

Core Philosophy of Evolutionary Astrology

Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green outlined several key principles that define this approach:

  • The soul evolves through multiple lifetimes.

  • The birth chart is a reflection of the soul’s evolutionary condition at the moment of incarnation.

  • Life experiences—both material and psychological—are not random but part of the soul’s evolutionary plan.

  • Astrology does not dictate fate—human beings interact creatively with their charts, shaping their realities through conscious choice.

  • Every person is responsible for their own growth and experiences, both internally and externally.

This approach encourages individuals to actively engage with their evolutionary path, working through karmic patterns while embracing new possibilities for transformation. It is a system of empowerment, self-discovery, and deep healing, helping individuals align with their highest potential.

Rather than offering rigid predictions, Evolutionary Astrology provides a narrative of the soul’s journey, guiding individuals to make choices that align with their personal and spiritual evolution.

  • "I experienced an astrology reading with Lauren, and I’m so grateful for the insights she provided. She focused on my Chiron, North Node, and South Node, and everything she shared resonated deeply with the messages I’ve been receiving from my own spiritual team. It felt like a beautiful confirmation and expansion of what I’ve been intuitively picking up on. What I appreciated most was how Lauren didn’t just give me theoretical info, but offered tangible tools and ideas for how I can be more intentional in my healing journey. Her approach left me feeling empowered and clear on the next steps I need to take for my personal growth.

  • Understanding your birth chart completely shifts the way you move through life. Instead of feeling lost or reacting to challenges blindly, you gain a roadmap for your soul’s evolution—clarity on why you're here, what you're learning, and how to align with your deepest fulfillment.

    Some of the biggest benefits include:

    • Living with greater alignment: Your chart shows your natural strengths, challenges, and purpose, helping you walk the path that feels most true to you.

    • Deeper self-awareness and healing: It reveals your emotional landscape, core wounds, and the patterns you’re here to transform, so you can move through life with more ease and self-compassion.

    • More conscious relationships: Understanding your own relational needs and tendencies (and those of others) allows for more harmony, deeper connections, and fewer misunderstandings.

    • Clarity on career and purpose: Your chart offers insight into your gifts, work style, and what truly lights you up, so you can create a life that feels both meaningful and sustainable.

    • Trusting life’s timing: Astrology helps you understand the cycles you’re moving through, so you can work with the flow of life instead of against it.

    Ultimately, knowing your chart empowers you to live with more awareness, confidence, and trust in your own unique journey.

  • In astrology, relationships are analyzed using Synastry and Composite charts, each providing distinct insights.

    Synastry compares two natal charts to examine how one person’s planets interact with the other’s. Astrologers analyze aspects between planets (e.g., conjunctions, squares, trines) and house overlays to assess compatibility, attraction, emotional dynamics, and areas of conflict. Key planetary connections, such as Venus-Mars (romantic/sexual chemistry) or Moon-Saturn (emotional security vs. restriction), reveal core relational themes.

    The Composite Chart merges two charts into one by calculating the midpoints between corresponding planetary positions. Rather than showing individual dynamics, it represents the relationship itself as a separate entity, revealing its overall purpose, strengths, and challenges. Composite house placements and planetary aspects indicate how the relationship functions, what it brings into the lives of both people, and its long-term potential.

    While synastry explores how two individuals affect each other, the composite chart describes the relationship as its own force, offering a deeper look at shared destiny and karmic themes.
