Astrology as an Archetypal Language

Archetypes are the lenses of our lives, the patterns of consciousness operating within the psyche both individually and collectively, personally and impersonally. Archetypes can often be understood in an instant, instinctively, as easily as knowing what a Rebel or a Teacher or a Queen is without having to think much about it. You just know. This accessible archetypal language can be invaluable to astrologers, shedding light on core components of the planets and zodiacal signs that make up the astrological birth chart and act like doorways to deeper understanding.

This webinar explores the personal nature of archetypes in our lives via the astrological chart, and how awareness of these core patterns can provide a deep sense of meaning and purpose and place, while also revealing our core talents, strengths, and challenges.
