A Philosophy of Astrology #8 ~ The Symbolism

In part 7 of this series we saw that in the Jungian synchronistic worldview, both the internal world (thoughts, dreams etc.) and the external world are amenable to symbolic interpretation. In this post we'll take a closer look at the nature of astrological symbolism.

A Philosophy of Astrology #5 ~ The Numbers

Cosmic objects often arrange themselves in a plane. Our Solar System is relatively flat. Saturn's rings are flat too.

You can see which dice will be rolling, but the numbers they're going to land on are anyone's guess.

Musicians and Muses ~ astrological perspectives

This post is aimed at music lovers and at astrology enthusiasts. The music lover can find out how the nine Muses, a wonderful bunch of ladies from Greek mythology, influence musicians astrologically.
