Are you willing to be sponged out, erased, cancelled, made nothing?
Dipped into oblivion?
If not, you will never really change - D.H. Lawrence |
Astro: an abbreviation of astrology - the psychology of the soul.
Alchemy: Pursuit of the transmutation of baser metals into gold. (The Concise Oxford dictionary)
Astro-alchemy therefore offers the opportunity to transmute the baser “metals” within the subconscious realms of our psyche to the “gold” of higher consciousness and enlightened self-awareness.
 In alchemy, raw primal material was concocted, heated,
condensed and otherwise processed in an attempt to find
purified “gold”. This physical process is symbolic of
our inner search to find our greatest treasure deeply hidden
within our subconscious realms.
An unconscious descent into darkness and self-destruction
offers a choice. We can choose to rise above our darkness
or continue on the downward spiral. If we choose to begin the ascent into greater self-awareness and are willing to identify our dark psychological games, we begin the alchemical process. The instant we recognize, acknowledge and own our self-destructive games an internal alchemical process takes place.
It’s as if our cells rejoice and let go of all the condensed and coagulated psychic energy contained in the dark thoughts and feelings of the psychological game now seen clearly.
This wash of self-awareness transforms the dense energy into a new, vibrant life force. Life is totally changed for the better. We have found “gold” within.
Spiritual astrology is the best tool to enable this alchemical process as it clearly and precisely identifies our psychic garbage and offers constructive ways to reach the light.
