Astrology's Transiting Planets -
Keys to Our Innerand Outer Cycles of Growth
I The Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, suggested that: “Anything born in a given moment in time bears all of the qualities of that moment in time.” This synchronicity is widely understood in Astrology, which, by the way, Jung used to help with some of his more difficult cases. Astrology, like Psychology, is an art-science tool, and Jung referred to it as, “The Mother of Psychology.”
When we take our first breath (voluntary existence) and activate our DNA - our natal horoscope of intended seed potentials - we, and Nature at that time, are One. The planets, and their angular relationship to each other and the Earth, form our “birth mandala.” They stand as psychological driving forces and reveal temperamental tendencies and how we are likely to think - thus revealing the kinds of relationships and experiences we are likely to attract. Access to this knowledge of birth potentials is important, because one of Life’s greatest stressors is a lack of a sense of meaning to personal existence.
However, we have access to more free will when we understand that our birth map, time and location, was our choice - for the Joy of participation in the Eternal Process of Ceativity and growth. With this knowledge we are more likely to accept 100% responsibility for our heredity, our environment and all of our experiences. Then we will be more ready to accept the Talmud’s: “Everything is foreseen but free-will is given.”
This 100% responsibility for our choice of thoughts and experiences and relationships these thoughts attract into our lives, can free us from the judge-and-blame approach to Life. Responsibility can free us from living by default. It helps us to own our power to consciously co-create. These “person-centered’ perspectives are a part of “Humanistic” and “Transpersonal” Astrology, whereas the “event-centered” viewpoint of Astrology tends to be more “fated.”
