The Homeric epic of the Odyssey describes how Odysseus is kept at sea for 10 years trying to return home from Troy. It is Poseidon, our astrological Neptune, who causes Odysseus to remain at sea. The straight line path would take only a few weeks, but Neptune journeys are never straight lines.
Yet the deferral of destination results in a mere trip becoming a journey. Like Neptune influences in the sky, the Odyssey is filled with moments of shapeshifting, magic, loss, disguise, dreaming, altered states, hope and hopelessness, somebody-ness and nobody-ness. These moments come to us through many of the most famous figures of Greek myth: the sorceress Circe, the nymph Calypso, the Sirens, the monsters Scylla and Charybdis, the Cyclops, and many others.
In this webinar we will study these figures and their stories to gain a deeper and more complex understanding of the psychodynamics of Neptune placements and aspects. Some say that to be found, we must first become lost. We will explore Neptune as an insistence from the ‘irrational’, the intuitive, and the mysterious — modes of consciousness the Greeks had already begun to cast aside, and which modern selves try every which way to avoid . . . resulting in the necessity of Odyssey.
