Talk for Astrology Toronto - Toronto, Canada

In this lecture we will explore the Hellenistic concept of sect, the idea that certain planets, signs, houses, and even aspects are adherents or followers of either Night or Day.  But where ancient astrology pursued the task of using sect to assess planetary condition and effectiveness, we will free ourselves to investigate the Day and Night spaces found in every chart – and the self-states (constellations of thoughts, feelings, sensations, desires, and relational orientations) that these represent psychologically.  We will explore the mythological stories and philosophical concepts of Day and Night, and specifically look at these concepts applied to planets, signs, houses, and aspects in the natal chart.  We will examine how Night and Day consciousness emerge, recede, and pendulate at different times in life and in the process of fully embodying one’s inherent multiplicity over time.  We will also explore Twilight – a special in-between space and state of consciousness that describes astrology itself, as well as the domain of Mercury, traditional ruler of astrology who only ever appears in a twilit sky.  Twilight consciousness bridges Night and Day and offers creative opportunities to each person and to astrologers in our work with clients.
