Caroline introduces the 1st Visionary Activist Show from Sept. 5,1996 with guest James Hillman.
Let’s get down! Completely lively and mega-pertinent for us all now. (circa 35 minutes) then on to rousing collaborative pitching and pledging – offering “The Soul’s Code” (as thank you gift for pledging) Hillman’s great book under discussion…
Yo Allies!
Irresistibly resonant and collegially frolicsome….
Tis grand to hear ancestor ally, James Hillman’s voice – so strong, bemused, playful…
Beaming guidance to us now…This show could easily be today (aside from a few 1996 astro references)

Mercury is on his Saturn – let the dead speak!
All the ancestors are eager to speak with us – and now James is one. All guiding wisdom traditions are eager to resonate, quicken, inform and guide our hearts…

So witty that James’ rising sign 10+ Leo is “Children swinging beneath the branches of a large oak tree – borrowed strengths of ancient traditions, roots of all spiritual traditions in nature mysticism.”
And that his Sun, Moon, Chiron conjoin KPFA’s Mars, Venus, North Node, Mercury in Aries.
And in today’s chart, Aries rising (19+ Aries, same degree as KPFA’s Mars) “Feeding swans in Winter, mythic participation. Faery Tale transformations.”

and The Moon is rising conjoin Chiron at 1+ Aries “the comedian.” Being a liberating Trickster. Let’s vow to be agents of liberating Trickster, aspiring, in all circumstances to liberate the story prison (aka “news” or any outworn diagnostic words or stories for self and others.) See all the desirable true stories running free!
The recently late Clive James said, “A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.” “All I can do is turn a phrase until it catches light.” “Those who lack humor are without judgement and should be trusted with nothing.”

Jupiter in Capricorn now: “Let us advocate for our blessings as much as we used to argue for our limitations!” (last 4 words are from Jaison and the Nines)
Quote on Arch in Washington Square: “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.”
Jupiter getting ready to trine Uranus as a redemptive theme into 2020- the 2 biggest path openers, animating a field of increased synchronicity…

Two charts for today’s show – today, and September 5, 1996 (below, along with Hillman’s)
Medicine Trickster Council from the get-go…
And as Hillman and I conversed Neptune (25+ Capricorn on my Ascendant = “Visionary Activist Show) quincunx Moon in Gemini – to translate all Pragmatic Mysticism into accessible cultural vernacular.
Disguised as a radio show…
