* Autumn, 2008: Boston Jung Institute:
"The Mandala of the Birth Chart"
In this participatory class we will delve into the mandala of the astrological chart by exploring the planetary archetypes theoretically and within the personal mandala of your own birth chart. Together we will delve into the symbolism and meaning of the planets in their signs, houses, and aspects, and explore how the wheel of the horoscope can be used for spiritual contemplation. We will also seek to envision the highest possible expression of these planetary energies, and look at how the synthesis of the chart appears in the Moon's Nodes: a synchronistic hint of one's life direction and soul purpose. Nov 8th 10-5:00 Register with the Institute, then call me with birth infor so I can create your birth chart for the class.
