“Grokking” Energy Signatures

• Using astrological archetypes as a tool• NOT depending on astrological timing but on your own

observations.• Learning to identify what pattern you are in: e.g. if you are “upset”

does that mean– Quick fury?

– Frantic?

– Confused?

– Grieving?

– Overburdened?

– Passionately outraged?

• Engaging your consciousness to observe your responses to the world around you

• Learning the “dance steps” to the energy you’ve engaged

What does it feel like?

Myth as activator…

It would not be too much to say that

myth is the secret opening

through which the cosmos pours forth its

inexhaustible energies

into human cultural manifestation.

---Joseph Campbell

Mythology is the story.

Archetypes are the patterns.

Richard Tarnas tells us:

Planets represent the chordal structure: what we dance to.

The exact melody will be defined by the individual and collective consciousness at the time.

Then there’s Carl Jung….

• Jung’s observations on archetypes…• (Jung’s use of astrology)• Value of identifying archetypal details in dreams…

whether or not the dreamer has conscious knowledge of the archetype manifesting

• (Jung’s use of astrology’s archetypes)

Dreams can detail

archetypal content

using specific symbolism of cultural deities

that are

unknown to the dreamer.
