WALKING THE ARCHETYPAL WHEEL
Archetypes provide a blueprint by which we may view the interior energetic structure of existence. By studying the twelve archetypes defined by Astrology, we can learn to identify these forces as they come upon us, and as we create and express them ourselves, developing self-mastery. The astrological chart is a useful tool for understanding the qualities and functions of these archetypes. The archetypal astrological chart is comprised of a circle divided into twelve parts--30 degrees for each sign of the zodiac. As the belt of the zodiacal constellations revolves overheard, we liken this circle to a wheel which spins. Moving step by step along the path of the wheel, we are guided through the mythic journey of the archetypal human life.
In this workshop, we will examine the fundamental structure and symbolism that informs the practice of Astrology. Using the archetypal wheel as our guiding compass, we will follow the cycle of the seasons to see how the cycles of man emerge from and are reflected by the cycles of nature. The archetypal wheel provides three overlapping and interpenetrating layers of archetypes, providing three paradigms through which to gain deeper insight--the signs, the planets, and the houses.
The planets are the acting forces of the archetypes, the embodied form that filters the one light of the Sun into its myriad of expressions.
The signs are the descriptive qualities of the archetypes, the light as it appears to us after it has passed through the filter of the planets and arrived on Earth in accordance with the seasons.
The houses are how the archetypes manifest through the human psyche, the conception of the archetypes projected upon the human experience.
In this workshop, we will study each sign individually, discussing its ruling planet and corresponding house. In addition to these three main pillars, we will learn the meaning behind the glyphs and symbols as well as the elements and modalities to understand the essence and polarity of each archetype.
Upon completion, participants of this workshop are eligible for discounted private natal chart consultations - $25 off the first hour!

★ natal chart reading - in person or by skype:
1st hour - $75 2nd hour - +$50 additional time - $35/hr
This is the most popular option, as clients generally find that real-time, face-to-face communication is the quickest route to greater insight. If you are outside the Northern California region, we can set an appointment to Skype. I will request your birth information--place, date, and time as EXACT as possible--when we set the appointment, as well as any specific questions you may have. The more time I have to spend with your chart, and the more specific we can be with our focus, the more it will reveal its aspects. Readings must be at least one hour in duration, with a reduced rate for the second hour, and a reduced rate for additional hours after that. Each reading includes email correspondence before and after to help plan and integrate the session.
