A work in-progress...

So psychology is the science of the soul...

and big pHARMa oversees it?





Still waiting...

The founder of Analytical Psychology, Dr. Carl G. Jung, was a closet astrologer whose theory of the conscious, unconscious & collective unconscious is based on planetary frequencies. Though his peers were aware of his astrological studies, Dr. Jung kept it hidden from the public to avoid the ridicule that persists to this day.



Dr. Jung's life's work was finally released post-humously, his red leatherbound treasure The Red Book: Liber Novus . He called it his 'most important work' and it's filled with his astrological insights and beautiful illustrations.



The Wikipedia entry for the Red Book makes no mention of astrology, typical of the materialist paradigm holding the soul of humanity hostage. It's why the very foundation of analytical psychology is ignored by most analytical psychologists, who take months & years to gain insights they could gain in an hour by analyzing a patient's birth chart. Those who do utilize astrology are rare gems worth searching for, if you feel the need to see a shrink.


(I've shortened Jung's unconscious & collective unconscious to subconscious & unconscious)



(I've shortened Jung's unconscious & collective unconscious to subconscious & unconscious)
The mind is like the ocean; beneath the surface lies the unfathomable depths. We set sail and hope for the best, gliding along the surface, few with a map or scuba gear and most unprepared for the storms ahead.




CONSCIOUS:
sun/ego; moon/emotion; mercury/intellect; venus/desire; mars/will
The conscious mind is our experience of waking reality - our thoughts, actions, desires, hopes and fears & every interaction we make. The conscious mind is our direct experience of life and the surface story of everything.


SUBCONSCIOUS:
jupiter/expansive aspiration; saturn/contractive ambition
The subconscious mind records & stores everything we've ever heard, seen, felt & done. Childhood experiences are directly absorbed as truth and program our suboconscious perceptions. And traumatic memories are held energetically and may manifest in painful ways until they're brought to the surface and released. But some memories resist exposure, so astrology is a window into the past to help pinpoint the when and suggest the what, to release the energy and the pain.


UNCONSCIOUS:
uranus/deeper mind; neptune/deeper desire; pluto/deeper will
The unconscious mind is Purpose with a capital P. It Sees All and Knows All and contains the deepest depths of our highest Truth. It's the still voice within, in perfect alignment with the Great Spirit. The unconscious is unfazed by the issues of daily life/ its Purpose is Creative Growth, through which your eternal spirit guides your soul through this lifetime. Even when you ignore its whispers it works its Magic, sometimes disguised as pain, and always towards your highest/deepest Purpose.



"We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born." ~ Dr. Carl G. Jung





With your first breath you're imprinted with the celestial frequencies of that exact moment, your electromagnetic DNA. Breath [prana ~ mana ~ qi] holds your spirit in this time & space.



"The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern
of the stars at the moment it comes into the world.
"
~ Johannes Kepler, Harmonics Mundi





All you need to know to read any BirthPrint™ are the 3 essential basics:

Imagine your mind is a melody. . .

PLANETS are the notes
ASPECTS are their arrangements
SIGNS are the instruments

Planets define the frequencies of every person, place & thing;
Aspects are the conduits that blend and modify the frequencies;
Signs are the prism of elemental archetypes that color the frequencies.


Planetary frequencies are the engine by which consciousness creates matter and everything under the Sun. The genesis of every person, place & thing reflects the planetary frequencies crystallized in that moment in time.





Aspects are conduits that blend and modify the planetary frequencies at specific degrees of distance. The best-known aspect is the 180° opposition, though most know it only as the full Moon. Every month hospitals & police stations anticipate its polarizing effects.


.


The zodiac is a prism of archetypes that color the planetary frequencies with the elements of fire, earth, air and water, the modalities of cardinal [active], fixed [focused] & mutable [adaptable] and the positive/male & negative/female polarities.

Astrology is a simple, logical system grounded in mathematics. And like math you can learn the basics and do just fine or keep exploring into the woo-woo realms.



A birth chart is the users manual of the soul, but only astrologers can read them, so I designed the BirthPrint to display the planets, aspects & signs as graphics, which comes alive with meaning for all...



A birth chart & BirthPrint

Learning the 3 essential basics of astrology is so simple a child can do it. The Planets, Aspects & Signs are the 28 letters of the soul and once they're committed to memory you can begin to sound out any BirthPrint, the exciting final step!



Planetary frequencies are the mechanics of all life experience and the alphabet of energy that reveal the unique frequencies of every soul like an open book.




WITHIN THE PSYCHE
PLANETS: The frequencies within
ASPECTS: Blend & modify the frequencies within
SIGNS: Color the frequencies with elemental archetypes;

BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS:
PLANETS: The frequencies of each psyche

A brief overview of seven primary planetary patterns, with links to an in-depth overview of each by Cafe Astrology & Seattle Astrology:

Mystic Rectangle: Referred to by Dane Rudhyar as 'practical mysticism'; it symbolizes a purpose-driven life.

Grand Sextile: A rare pattern; also known as the 'Star of David' it contains other patterns within it and is highly creative, constructive and beneficial.

Kite: An energizing, facilitative pattern that plays out according to the planets involved.

T-Square brings a lifetime of intense experiences and accelatered growth and suggests an eventful life. An in-depth overview:

Grand Cross: Brings many challenges for the purpose of the soul's accelerated growth.

Yod: A rare pattern [only 1-2 degree orb] referred to as the 'Finger of Destiny'; it's said to indicate past life experience playing a primary role in the present life.

Grand Trine: A blessing from the heavens.

THE MINOR ASPECTS
The 6 minor aspects generally reinforce the 6 major aspects. They can be significant in their own right, in particular the semi-square, which I include it in my BirthPrint calculations. Minor aspects generally have an orb of only 1-2 degrees.







ARIES: impulsive ~ headstrong ~ independent [cardinal fire]
TAURUS: nurturing ~ sensual ~ loyal [fixed earth]
GEMINI: communicative ~ mercurial ~ highstrung [mutable air]
CANCER: sensitive ~ moody ~ nurturing [cardinal water]
LEO: strong-willed ~ creative ~ affectionate [fixed fire]
VIRGO: analytical ~ practical ~ hard-working [mutable earth]
LIBRA: artistic ~ idealistic ~ charming [cardinal air]

SAGITTARIUS: philosophical ~ optimistic ~ adventuresome [mutable fire]
CAPRICORN: ambitious ~ determined ~ competitive [cardinal earth]
AQUARIUS: inventive ~ rebellious ~ independent [fixed air]
PISCES: imaginative ~ intuitive ~ sensitive [mutable water]




impulsive ~ headstrong ~ independent
[CARDINAL FIRE] The first sign of the zodiac expects to be first in all things. Aries must lead, always. No matter how timid Aries may seem initially, you'll soon learn that they are anything but. And their enthusiasm about life is contagious. Aries is a shot of adrenalin to any social gathering. They project their martian spirit into whatever circumstances they find themselves in.
(opposite sign: LIBRA)


nurturing ~ sensual ~ loyal
[FIXED EARTH] Ruled by the Earth, the Taurus personality is like a warm embrace. Lovers of pleasure and beauty, these bulls always know where you can find a great meal. If you seek comfort and tranquility, look to a Taurus, for their steadfast and placid ways never fail to calm a restless mind and spirit.
(opposite sign: SCORPIO)


communicative ~ mercurial ~ highstrung
[MUTABLE AIR] You can easily spot Geminis in a crowd - they're the ones talking to everyone about anything. Mercury, the winged messenger, is their ruling planet, so it's their purpose to interact, inform, inquire. Symbolized by the twins, you can't pin them down to any one thing, nor would you want to. They bring the light of learning to the human table.
(opposite sign: SAGITTARIUS)


sensitive ~ moody ~ nurturing
[CARDINAL WATER] While Geminis are flitting about the room, Cancer is clinging to the wall. Cancer the crab would rather just stay home, thank you. Nothing is so desirable to Moon-ruled Cancer than home and family. They live to nurture, with powerful emotions as changeable as the phases of the moon. And when they shine they can light up a dark world.
(opposite sign: CAPRICORN)


LEO: strong-willed ~ creative ~ affectionate
[FIXED FIRE] Ruled by the Sun, Leos naturally assume the world revolves around them. Leos bring sunshine to whatever space they occupy. And they can't help it if they know how great they are. Whether roaring or purring these lions make their presence known, to the envy, fear or delight of the others in the jungle.
(opposite sign: AQUARIUS)


analytical ~ practical ~ hard-working
[MUTABLE EARTH] A quiet sensuality and gentleness mark the Virgo personality, but beneath that serene exterior is a mind like a steel trap. Nothing goes unnoticed in their Spock-logical brains. They listen and nurture and tend to the needed things. As far as the wheatbearers are concerned, heaven is in the details.
(opposite sign: PISCES)


artistic ~ idealistic ~ charming
[CARDINAL AIR] Matching Virgo in their gentle ways, Libra needs peace and tranquility or they can easily lose their equilibrium. Ruled by Venus and the Scales, Libra seeks balance in all things, and often finds it difficult to decide one way or the other, because they so clearly see both sides.
(opposite sign: ARIES)


intense ~ private ~ passionate
[FIXED WATER] Blessed (or cursed) with a piercing intensity, Pluto ruled Scorpio simply must unearth everything that's hidden. Nothing is as it seems and Scorpio will prove it! It's said the Scorpian is the most sexually focused of the zodiac, because sexuality offers endless depths to those who seek it, and a bounty of treasure and transformation for the effort.
(opposite sign: TAURUS)


philosophical ~ optimistic ~ adventuresome
[MUTABLE FIRE] The adventurers of the zodiac, Jupiter ruled Sagittarius is compelled to learn, explore and expand. Their fiery spirit ignites their surroundings. Honest to a fault, their bluntness can get them into trouble, but they only mean well in their many observations. The archers of the zodiac, their arrows pierce to the heart of things, to expose and enlighten.
(opposite sign: GEMINI)


ambitious ~ determined ~ competitive
[CARDINAL EARTH] Look for the hardest worker in the room and it's likely to be Capricorn the goat. Serious and determined, their purpose in life is to accomplish their goals. Saturn ruled, it's said over time they become younger in spirit, as their determination to reach the mountain top gives way to a willingness to stop and smell the flowers.
(opposite sign: CANCER)


inventive ~ rebellious ~ independent
[FIXED AIR] Growth and change is the driving purpose of the bearers of the water of knowledge. Uranian spirits, they can't be held back or tied down. Their will is matched by the Lion and equally determined. Humanitarian to the core, they can't help but see the Big Picture and are driven to contribute to its expansion.
(opposite sign: LEO)


imaginative ~ intuitive ~ sensitive
[MUTABLE WATER] Neptunian dreamers, these fish swim in the waters of inspiration and lead us all by their example. Water ruled, they absorb their surroundings and their empathy is often the source of great pain. They make the best actors because they naturally put themseves in others' places, and the best poets because they're so close to the source of all our dreams.
(opposite sign: VIRGO)

The classic book that ignited the New Age and my lifelong passion is Linda Goodman's Sun Signs






The ascendant is the sign rising on the horizon at the time of birth, also known as the rising sign. Your ascendant is your persona, your public face, which may compliment, amplify, subdue or even mask your planetary frequencies.

Your ascendant also determines which houses your planets occupy on the 12 house wheel of life. Each of the 12 houses reflects specific life issues, and the houses your planets occupy are a major focus in your life.


But... the ascendant and planet/house placements require an exact birth time to calculate, which many people don't know; and just a few minutes off can mean dramatically wrong data. The good news is, a birth time is not required to calculate the Planets, Aspects & Signs, as all but the Sun & Moon move less than one degree a day; the Sun moves just one degree and though the Moon moves about 12 degrees daily, when an exact or approximate birth time is unknown, noontime is used and the Moon is never more than 6 degrees off its true position, & usually less. It's not ideal, but it's workable.

A NATAL VS SOLAR BIRTHPRINT [or birth chart]
A natal BirthPrint requires an exact birth time and displays the Ascendant, planet/house placements and the Planets, Aspects & Signs.

A solar BirthPrint may use an exact, approximate or noon birth time and displays only the Planets, Aspects & Signs. The Sun sign is always in the first house, though the houses are a silent backdrop.

A Natal BirthPrint & Solar BirthPrint...


Though a natal BirthPrint is ideal, a solar BirthPrint still enables you to explore far more deeply than you ever thought possible.






Taurus lacks its own planetary ruler and Earth is the only planet that rules no sign; could Earth be Taurus' natural ruler? They seem like a perfect fit, though Taurus is presently co-ruled by Venus [with Libra]. In ancient times Earth & Venus were considered twin planets and they shared the same glyph, with Earth the reverse of Venus' glyph we're all familiar with. Why was Earth's glyph changed to a cross within a circle?



Like Earth, Taurus is grounded, nurturing & sensuous, while its dark side is over-indulgence in Earth's bounty. The bull is a revered symbol in many cultures and like Mother Earth, the majestic bovine nourishes and provides for our basic needs [like ice cream & buttered popcorn].


Terra and Tara are ancient names for Earth, the only planet not presently named after a mythological god. Many believe myth and religion are code for cosmology, developed to practice a forbidden science in a long-forgotten dark age.

The Pleiades in the Taurus constellation is referenced throughout the ancient world, and some today believe we're being guided and protected by highly evolved humans from the Pleiades. Listening to these amazing accounts has to make you wonder.

"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?" ~ Old Testament.



In the true light of the Aquarian Age, will Earth [once again?] be known as the natural ruler of Taurus?



A BirthPrint is not who you are, but your uniquely programmed operating system in this lifetime, the subconscious shaped by childhood experiences and past lives, through which your eternal spirit operates with free will. Every operating system has endless possibilities for expression and although those born on the same day and year share the same unique operating system, there are generally profoundly different variables and outcomes, though certain characteristics are the same across the board.



Some astrotwins seem very similar & others dramatically different. Two similar-seeming astrotwins are Angelina Jolie & Russell Brand, born June 4, 1975. Everyone born on that date is driven by intense planetary frequencies, and Jolie & Brand followed a similar transformative path through desire, excess & performing to spiritual & social consciousness.



What stands out on their shared BirthPrint is the dynamic conjunction of Moon, Mars & Jupiter in fiery Aries & opposite powerful, transformative Pluto. They're both emotionally [moon] and assertively [mars] driven to seek higher truth and teach it [jupiter], all with a polarizing compulsion to transform [pluto opposition]. And a harmonious trine from Neptune [inspiration] bathes their fiery Moon/Mars/Jupiter in the blue light of spirit.

And inspiring Neptune is opposite the Gemini Sun, so polarization is the process to spiritual enlightenment, first one way, then the other until the balance is achieved. And Sun in Gemini is driven to communicate experiences & insights, lucky for us. Russell Brand has become an inspiration to millions who seek to grow in truth through this crazy time. And he's wickedly funny, a perfect combination.
