Dissociative States

Dissociative states occur when a person is under great stress from external influences, other people’s cruelty, or deeply felt previous internal conflicts with a disturbing immediate situation. The Moon (emotion) in Pisces (sensitivity) on the Dragon’s Tail (karma) is supposed to be a major contribution to the dilemma. This affliction brings dissociation with others, especially to the family. The upbringing is usually very dramatic and the subject learns early in childhood to cope with traumatic sexual or emotional abuse. If […]

Archetypal Astrology

Every sign in the zodiac can be associated with a mythological story and every planet with a divine figure, a “god” with certain properties. This divine figure can appear in different guises and under different names. Thus, the moon can be regarded as Hera, Hathor or Ishtar. It can also symbolize other concepts, like the womb, the World Tree, and the underwaters. These symbolical figures have their roots in the archetypal layer in the psyche of Man, according to Jung.

Light the Way

The struggle to become whole is the meaning behind most of our existence. You have the task of developing your real authentic self, and it is your own active and creative involvement in life, propelling you forward. The “will” is a very important concept in achieving wholeness. The will can lead you towards your future development and purpose. It is the central inner force that conquers all unconscious repressed energy. According to some philosophies, a purpose is central to a […]

Emotional Understanding: Moon Trines Synastry

When a person’s Moon trines a planet or chart point in the horoscope of someone else, what it tends to offer psychologically to the relationship is a gentle sympathy, waves of understanding, and emotional receptivity. The Moon person responds in an attuned way to the other’s planet or points in this cross-fertilization of charts as they intermingle. The Lunar energy will mother and nurture the partner’s development in that sphere of life. The only downside is being too much of a […]

Astrology -The Red Pill: The Saturn-Uranus Dilemma

We have all watched “The Matrix” by now, and the defining moment in the movie is when Neo decides which pill to take. If he takes the Blue pill he will remain in ignorance and stay enslaved, but if he takes the red pill he will learn the truth and enter into the Matrix and understand how it all works. Using this analogy, the red pill is compared to opening our consciousness and learning about astrology and understanding the complex […]

Forces of Destiny

The Forces of Destiny: Reincarnation, Astrology and Karma, is an interesting read, although there isn’t too much astrology. What it does contain is lots of thought-provoking information on how Fate and Destiny play out in our lives. Here is a quote from the book as an example of its content: When I took the diploma of the Faculty of Astrological Studies, I had to discuss in an essay the dilemma between fate and free will. At the time, the issues […]

Jupiter

The planet Jupiter represents the symbolic world and intuits its meaning. Its function is to enlarge, make fruitful and bestow a feeling of being protected. The planet embodies the immense spirit of hope and optimism. Psychologically, it is from this archetype of paternal benevolence that we derive self-confidence. Jupiter helps us to extend our horizons, to take life as it comes. More importantly, it is symbolic of our deepest urge to grow – physically, mentally, and spiritually. It enlarges all that […]

The Red Planet: Mars

The Sun formulates our goals: Mars pursues them. Through Mars, we learn to act as independent and self-sufficient beings and project ourselves into the world. Mars will give us the courage to stand up for our rights to assert ourselves and express our anger when necessary. The red planet describes what we want from life, and corresponds to our basic drives and motivations. Mars is concerned with self-assertion. To assert oneself is to declare one’s interests, to affirm, to be […]
