****** And questions from Betsy:
-
What software you use for the dynamic chart?
Eryn here – I will ask for the name, but Caroline uses a software that is no longer supported or being updated, so we get to keep one computer in the past … until a more perfect solution presents itself
-
and which Sabian Symbols you are quoting?
Steve Eardley’s “Revised Sabian Symbols” is the prominent resource for astral metaphoric imagery in the Tele*Coyotes.
Note: Steve Eardley (aka Martin Goldsmith) first published his book under the title “Revised Sabian Symbols” and now the most recent edition is entitled The Zodiac by Degrees: Second Edition, Extensively Revised
“and the originals, Sabian Symbols by Mark Edmund Jones,”
Caroline says, “I swing back and forth betwixt them and Eardley’s”
An Astrological Mandala The Cycle Of Transformations And Its 360 Symbolic Phases by Dane Rudhyar
“Clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler and Astrologer Marc Edmund Jones created the Sabian Symbols. Dane Rudhyar reinterpreted the symbols in a series which shows the archetypal meaning of 360 phases of human experience. Rudhyar also demonstrates how the Sabian symbols can be used for divination.”
Astrological Mandala available as a PDF Here

Pre-Council Themes
Animating Kindness
So our journey be cumulative…
Saturn, our deepest dedication,
now trines Mars and the Moon in Moon’s Cancerian realm….
Mars as heroic protector…
with quirky quincunx to Pluto 0 Aquarius- being a cultural beacon,
with our customized inner planets…
And cooking back our desires for what they truly be…
Learned from Celtic Bard Herbalist ally, Sean Padraic O’Donoghue, – that testosterone , found in pine bark etc…
is woofy for whatever cultural game Mars be engaged …
aggression… more aggression.
Peace – more Peace,
kindness protection- more…
But, he said, if we were to give testosterone to Tibetan Buddhists
(or our own Bodhisattva Coyote) – then woofy in pursuit of Peace…
Saturn defines the cultural game we be playing…
Mars adds the testosterone animating woof (in Cancer adds wuzza-wuzza woof )
Let’s consider the profound implications for our effective participation in the world…
“Finite and Infinite Games” (great book by James Carse)
“A finite game is about winning.
An Infinite Game is about keeping all in play.”
tis the intersection between the outer and inner planets.
what Game we be choosing…
And let our Mars Saturn – always be in cahoots with Pluto, dedicated to Community well-being…
We all be cahooting tonight!
(for bonus points: Mercury and Jupiter be quintiling Mars,
Venus and Uranus be quintiling Saturn…)
Chat
Welcome all – this be all our planets jamming… feel liberated to boogie
Can’t hear the music
I can!
Carol – turn up your computer volume
And…We have our experiences and then take time to integrate them…In-breath and Out-breath…It’s flow.
mm flow and pulse, rhythm
thank you for bringing up skepticism around “falls” or “detriment”. and wondering about antidotes to dire predictions…
Beautiful, moving (discharging) that body bound energy (Peter Levine) The car accident
Reacted to “Beautiful, moving (d…” with ❤️
the malefics do make me wonder about the metaphorical aspect .. “go blind by 20” could it be a different kind of blindness, emotional blindness… or eaten by a crocodile, perhaps overtaken by something suddenly from the depths of seemingly calm waters … not sure but they are intriguing in a way
although wouldn’t necessarily want to hear either of those things in an astro reading personally … makes me think of the kind of “spelling” we can put upon ourselves or others
I just took a class with Rick, and he says 5 degrees for quintiles. 😉
we all get to change our minds 😄
Do you know for how long Mars will remain out of bounds?
Also see. TRE as a body therapy
Trauma Releasing Exercises
I’m thinking of the souls of the 3 nine year olds, and the 3 teachers ruthlessly gunned downy a 28 year girl who was also killed by the police. Wondering about this with an OFB Mars? The wild card like its under different influences. I don’t want to end on a bummer note but I’m really concerned about the youth in this counrty.
Mars will be out of bounds until May 4th 2023
That’s it! Mars. Rage to Outrage. I tried but failed.
OO heather lovely!
Mars card from Nicole Piar’s Cosmic Allies deck.
Ah fabulous!
That fox news story gives me chills and makes me excited
Ohh I can’t wait to read the Bunny planet books!
truly wonderful
where is it best way to send ? & comments? email or other?
emailing us or leaving a comment on the website are both great!
FOR LATER> Could you also put in our notes: what software you use for the dynamic chart and which Sabian Symbols you are quoting? And how long de we have access to the video?
yes! good questions
and access – right now has no time limit to replays etc
Yay for replays! This session is gold
Thank you heather!
Notes
“Astrology is a language of living participatory poetry” CWC
Marsilio Ficino
brought talismanic magic into astrological realm during Renaissance (from Middle East) … balancing through expanded repertoire through which to paint reality
“Finite and Infinite Games” by James Carse
Intersection of outer and inner planets: what game are we choosing?
The essence of games are rules, finite, boundaries
Mars how do we express anger (best to cook into wrath), also protection
negative read can include Mars in Cancer, hot stomach, passive aggressive
what does it want to be, Mars in Cancer, fierce protection of life
Some guidelines for people doing Readings for others
consideration of “falls” or “detriments”
to limit somebody’s sense of what is possible is spiritual harassment
although we do want to address shadow
deep respectful realms
to always take in the collective bias
what does the culture encourage / discourage in humans
useful to consider
in Aramaic and Hebrew there are two “whys”
why – what the hell?
why – to what purpose?
Jesus on the cross uses the second one
not a complaint, but a wondering
As investigators, we ask of ourselves and others,
“what did this want to be?”
energetic archaeology – tracking back
The Outer Planets
generational, describe a zeitgeist, quality
Change Gods
Saturn-Jupiter
Limitation and Expansion
Constrict and Expand exercise
move from feet (Pluto), up to ankles, calves, to knees (Capricorn) and up
pumps things, simple choreography
The Inner Planets
more customized, personalized, individual
“our personal happiness has more to do with the happiness of our neighbors than with people we live with” ny times article
Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, leads us to the center, the Sun
Mars will amplify whatever structure we are in
what do we encourage/discourage in Mars
Mars – red, sexual organs, Tuesday
what do we desire?
(saturn says “specifically?”)
and then not to say that to any body
“To do, to be, to have, to be silent” Eliphas Levy
do not speak it until it is molecularly manifest
Jung “Fanaticism is always shouted down doubt.”
Mars wants us to be like animals
when an antelope escapes being chased it will shiver, shake to release the fear and adrenaline and then calmly continues munching grass
Peter Levine says, we humans have forgotten that and in our muscles we can store fear
Mars in Cancer trine Saturn
psilocybic mushrooms
calms down the amygdala
treat, and time
increase cooperation in all regions of the brain
micro and macro (real and metaphoric)
Mars – fierce protection of life, all life
even the tyrant
Arabian Nights
Mars and Venus
Venus says the opposite of aesthetic is anaesthetic
there’s no solution to anything without beauty
To be agents of blessing
and how does this speak to us symbolically
taking it into the dream world .. Pisces
how do we withdraw our complicity from this
– – – systems of astrology
* Vedic astrology
(needs to be cleansed of anti-feminine and highly predictive bias)
Vedic astrology predicts when you are going to die
If we are born into a highly structured, feudal society – we will have a highly structured astrology
* All cultures have their astrology, and what are we doing to be most effective now … to be unpredictable … there is nuance, sometimes delightful
* the astrological wheel connects to the color wheel and to the musical scale
– – – aspects
Quintile
72 degree angle
(within 2 or 5 degrees, up for interpretation)
irresistible eloquence
the capacity to have a true perception so that it hums in others
“since you guided my gaze, I see that now”
believe nothing, entertain possibilities
Hi Caroline, I’m interested in your experience and opening during the ayahuasca ceremony you mentioned. What I heard is that your awareness was with an individual soul and how she became possessed by the collective unconscious. (These are my words and may not be accurate). This seems like quite a powerful experience on many levels. Are you willing share more of what opened for you? I understand if this is a private personal experience that you do not wish to say more about.
This last session has been particularly fun! And, I have a question or 3 for Caroline:
In this last session, you mentioned a unicorn association almost in passing. And I don’t appear to have captured it in my notes. Can you say a little bit more about this creature this coming Tuesday?
How do you determine the colors you ascribe to the different planets?
And, in Dane Rudhyar’s An Astrological Mandala, do you find diving deeper into the life cycles he posits in Part 1 really helpful to groking the Sabian symbols? I got myself a copy of The Zodiac by Degrees now and am cross-referencing them with the Sabians now!
Such a rousing session ! I have a question from the reading . I am interested in the Mercury chapter on page 219 the section “Mercury the Magician “ you speak of the four elements of ritual magic. I was wondering if you would elaborate a bit more on the subject of how Mercury as Hermes Trismegistus would use the four elements in both divination and incantation. For example what are the ways that air signs might see omens or which methods of divination might be most helpful for fire signs etc.. . With regard to incantations ,are there certain preferences that might be made in terms of working with one’s own Mercury or transiting Mercury based on sign or element. I would love to learn more about that. Thanks!
