Vulcanus

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)

Vulcanus is one of the eight hypothetical planets (sometimes referred to as the trans-Neptunian points or planets, or TNPs for short) utilized in Uranian astrology. The Uranian system, sometimes referred to as the Hamburg School of Astrology, was established by Friedrich Sieggrün (1877–1951) and Alfred Witte (1878–1943). It relies heavily on hard aspects and midpoints. In decline for many decades, it has experienced a revival in recent years.

Vulcanus represents powerful and even explosive energy and force, especially the urge that one cannot quite control, or the experience of charismatic coercion. It can also symbolize a person’s reservoir of energy and the depletion of that energy.
