When I was first introduced to Astrology 20 years ago, it was explained to me as a symbolic language. As such the symbols didn’t necessarily speak for themselves but referred to something else. For example, Venus referred to the world of love and desire. Mars pointed to our relationship with willpower and drive. The moon looked at our interior, felt-sense of the world.
A decade later I was introduced to an extension of Family Constellations called Intention Constellations. In this work, the internal parts of the self were no longer in symbolic form but being lived out by people I’d never met with uncanny accuracy.
Over the next few years I began experimenting with the parts represented in the natal chart as actual living beings. Not just archetypes but the gods themselves. If the chart was a reality on this level, then much like Constellation work, they would be available to be lived out in what Rupert Sheldrake calls the ‘Morphogenetic Field’.
In my monthly astrological constellation workshop, which I named Soul Constellations, I started to see charts come off the two-dimensional page and be lived out by the participants in the room. The central person would ask people in the circle to ‘resonate with’ their planets one by one; however many or few they wanted for the process. And immediately, every time, the chart began to come to life. This happened without anyone seeing the chart, and most participants had very little if any experience with the symbols of astrology.
What does this tell us about the interior and exterior reality that astrology represents? How would an experience such as this enhance our understanding of our charts not as a symbolic representation, but as a lived and liveable reality?
In this two-session interactive lecture/workshop, we will have the opportunity to learn about this way of working with astrology as an inherent structure of reality. By participating in a Soul Constellation as a witness, a character or the central person, we will have a chance to also see this work in action and watch the wisdom of the field as it moves us into the positions intimated by the chart as a living being.
