Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are considered generational planets, while the inner planets are considered personal. Extrapolating to the OS, it would be interesting to translate to OS tasks (I think more death and rebirth of Pluto for restarts. I wonder if Neptune would be abstract of an illusion than windows and the design elements that can make it like CSS/Javascript (shudders.) Uranus would have to be scheduled updates, we all know how weird out of date software, drivers, etc acts. Maybe the user could put in their birth chart information and it would give daily updates on what to focus on that day outside of the OS based on how the planets are hitting their chart. Fun thought experiments. I practice astrology and also like to babble. permalink fedilink source parent
