The wheel of fortune looks unbearably wide on the outside of its circumference, but as you move towards the centre and become the spoke in the wheel, the nature of experience changes. What seems like impenetrable opposites, such as fate versus free will, become so much closer in practice. When I accept my destiny, I am both fated to do so and free-willing.
Join Mark as he addresses the deepest metaphysical dilemmas in astrology, revealing the seeming polarities of complex questions, fate vs freewill, nature vs nurture, character against events, which are, in their initial form, needlessly dualistic and antagonistic.
On closer examination, the seeming opposites reveal the subtle interplay of life, the dance between the cosmos and the psyche, between the clarity of nature and the subtle movements in the human soul.
Includes thoughts about:
- What a natal chart is and what it is not
- The conceptual distinction between transits and progressions
- The complexity of post-traumatic stress versus post-traumatic growth
