Joseph Campbell on creativity and letting go.

There's a beautiful letter that Schiller wrote to a young author who was having the trouble that's known as writer's block. This young writer had oh, so much to say, but he couldn't write. This is a normal situation. Schiller said simply, "Your problem is that you're bringing the critical factor into play before you have let the lyric factor work".
Look what happens to us in our schools: we learn to criticise Milton and Shakespeare and Goethe and everybody else, and then the teacher says, "Now do some creative work". You sit down and this bit of spilth begins coming out and you think, Oh, my God! That's nothing. Of course you can't write like Shakespeare, but you can write like you, perhaps, if you let yourself go.

— Joseph Campbell, Goddesses

I think a major lesson of Saturn in ♈️ is teaching ourselves to develop courage & bravery. This is not a time to allow our fears to dictate our actions. Fear is a teacher, leading us to be more careful & cautious. But too often it paralyzes us. Taking small steps onto new paths is how we get going.

Roberto Assagioli on self-love.

In the case of self-love, all depends on what we love in ourselves and how we love it. It is truly egotism if we love the egocentric and separative aspects in us, the craving of pleasure, possessions, and domination. But if we love what is higher and best in ourselves, what we are essentially, if we love our potentialities for growth, development, creative ability, and communion with others, then this love, devoid of egotism, urges us to live a life of higher quality. This love is then not only not an obstacle to loving others in the same way but, rather, a powerful means for doing so.

This is a Roman calendar (a parapegma) that marked the date with three wooden pegs. One peg was placed over one of the seven gods representing the days of the week (starting with Saturn for Saturday). Another peg was placed over a zodiac sign for the month, and the third over the day number.

And eclipses have for millennia been associated with the downfall of leaders and notables.... in fact Farage is a solar figure in many ways, with Sun exalted and copresent with domicile ruler Mars. He embodies the shadow side: egotistical and self-interested. With Uranus on his MC, you never know.

“I want forgiveness that does not erase responsibility. I want consequences that leave room for transformation. Maybe I am asking too much. But if astrologers cannot hold contradiction, who the hell can? We literally work with squares and oppositions for a living.” Truly thoughtful reflection.

Loving the proximity of tomorrow's solar eclipse to the Clacton by-election, where far right candidate and incumbent Nigel Farage is facing down satirical character Count Binface, along with 32 others. The eclipse, one day before the by-election, will be 90+% visible in the UK.

I love this passage, from the introduction of Kastrup's Decoding Jung’s Metaphysics - and it resonates powerfully with the fact that birth charts still appear to function, sometimes long after death

As we shall soon find out, for Jung life and world are something very different from what our present mainstream metaphysics - materialism - posits. The conclusions his lifelong studies point to the continuation of psychic life beyond bodily death, a much more intimate and direct relationship between matter and psyche than most would dare magine today, and a living universe pregnant with symbolic meaning. For him life is, quite literally, a kind of dream, and interpretable as such.

OK I got curious - wasn't ready for how dark these are, and thought Taurus Venus would be nicer somehow! But I'll be honest, I really like the deep grey of my rising sign.

Colour chart for astrological placements. Aries Sun is signal flame - a bright orange-red. Scorpio moon is plum depth - indeed a plum colour. Capricorn rising is tailored graphite - a deep grey. Taurus Venus is rose clay - a grey-pink.

A theme of the lunar nodes is sometimes blurring of boundaries. This makes sense astronomically, how these are the points where the paths of the Sun and the Moon become one. Versus at the nodal bendings where their paths are the most distinct.

I would urge everyone to go for a walk in nature while Cancer is rising over the next few weeks, because with the benefics (Venus and Jupiter) co-present… the vibes are *chefs kiss* — aim for between 7am and 9am, but check the chart in your location for finer timing…

It's my birthday, so I thought I'd share my Solar Return (yesterday). I have probably been a bit quiet this past year - I sure will not miss last year's Rx Mercury in Pisces conjunct Saturn and Rx Venus!! I also wanted to share the cover of some stunning alchemical cards my wife gave me. 🥰

Solar Return chart showing Leo rising, rules by 9th house Aries Sun. The Sun is at 10° so is conjunct Saturn and Neptune in Decan I Aries. Chiron is at 28 Aries and Uranus at 28° Taurus. Pluto is at 5 Aquarius in the 7th house. The Moon is at 22° Virgo in the 2nd Whole Sign House. Mars and Mercury are in Pisces, the 8th Whole Sign House. Venus is almost exactly on the Midheaven at 1° Taurus and Jupiter is in Cancer, the 12th WSH.

Alchemical style drawing of a barefoot, long haired woman with a crown (left), interacting with a dragon made of fire emerging from a cauldron (right). The scene is outdoors and there is fire beneath the cauldron and foliage in the foreground.
