"That which is Above is like that which is Below and that which is Below is like that which is Above, to accomplish
the Miracle of Unity."

activating your archetypes with Astrology
Through generations of observation, our ancestors recognized patterns of correspondence between the movement of the celestial bodies above us and the earthly manifestation around us.
Archetypes are the energetic forms that describe how these universal forces function in our lives.
Astrology employs twelve archetypes to illustrate how the arc of a human life parallels the passing of the seasons in the solar cycle. An astrological chart uses a specific time and place to calculate where the planets are in relation to the framework of the zodiac. Understanding how these archetypes manifest in the inner, social, and celestial realms assists one in actualizing their full potential.
Astrology is a multi-faceted practice including practical observation, mathematical calculation, and symbolic interpretation. By engaging these different physical and mental processes to address the same problem, we open up new pathways of possibility in our own lives.
“Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed.
