In today’s episode, we delve into a pivotal phase of the life cycle: the journey into adolescence. This coincides with two planetary cycles, the first Saturn opposition to itself, and the first Mars 15-year cycle. The weight of this transition is echoed in our cultural lore and legends. We dissect the progression of this metamorphosis through the lens of the Parsifal narrative and discuss strategies to support youths during this transformative era. To conclude, we reflect on the role of mentorship and the imperative to assume the mantle of mentor as we cross the threshold of midlife.

In this episode we explore the lives of the Brontë sisters—focusing primarily on Emily Brontë and her groundbreaking work, Wuthering Heights—and how it connects to trauma, the animus, the discovery of Neptune, the Gothic, vampires, and so much more! We both love the Brontës and had a glorious time discussing their lives and work!

In this episode we discuss the work of Jungian analyst and Clinical Psychotherapist, Donald Kalsched, author of two powerful books---The Inner World of Trauma and Trauma and the Soul. In his work, Kalsched shows how "depth psychotherapy can open both analytic partners to "another world" of non-ordinary reality in which daimonic powers reside, both light and dark." Using Carl Jung's chart to explore Kalsched's approach, we focus on two periods of Jung's life where he experienced a "descent of the soul" and explore how these traumatic years shaped his work and life.

In this episode, I introduce my new co-host, Jenny Montgomery [www.Jenny-Montgomery.com] Jenny is a consulting astrologer who specializes on readings with an emphasis on developing the authentic self. Her approach is based on traditional techniques and informed by themes in Jungian psychology: shadow dynamics, soul health and purpose, and reconciling the spirit of our depths with the chaotic spirit of our times. In this episode, we talk about how we were both introduced to astrology, her PhD dissertation on an 11th century Islamic astrologer, and the resistance we both felt about discussing this language with those who are inclined to dismiss it. Jenny also provides us with a great example of astrological remediation for the upcoming Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus [April 16 - 23]. Here is the link describing it: Garments (jenny-montgomery.com)

In this episode of Archetypes and the Planets, Béa and Andre explore the upcoming year and what may be in store archetypally. The next two years include a lot of change as the three outer planets move into new signs. What might these changes bring? Nothing is set in stone and all we can do is connect some of the themes associated with these archetypal principles but buckle up! Things are shifting….

In this episode of Archetypes and the Planets, we explore the upcoming ingress of Pluto into Aquarius. We had a taste back in March when it ingressed into Aquarius for two months before returning to Capricorn. Some of the themes that were highlighted then were developments in Artificial Intelligence, the ongoing battle between democracy and fascism and advances in the medical field. What connections do these things have to the previous period when Pluto was last in Aquarius in the late 18th century? What is in store this time around?

In this episode, Andre and Béa explore the many conversations Venus can have with the other planets [Mars through Pluto with a little Eris thrown into the mix] and what those conversations can mean in an archetypal way. Charts explored include: Bill Gates, Jimmy Carter, Elvis Presley and more.
-
In this episode, we explore the archetypal conversations that occur between Mercury and all the other planets. Charts examined include the ones of Jimmy Connors, Sylvia Plath, Steve Jobs, Nikola Tesla, David Bowie and more.
-
In this episode we explore how planetary aspects to the natal Moon in the chart can impact the personality. These planetary conversations can be challenging or supportive depending of the nature of the geometric relationship between the planets in question, but they always imply a meeting of archetypal forces. Please be sure to share this discussion with others who might be interested and don't forget to give us a "like" and leave a review wherever you hear this podcast so others will find us as well.

In this episode, we begin our exploration of planetary aspects. Aspects are the conversations that the planets have with each other and which colour the expression of their significations. We begin the Sun and what it means when it conjuncts [or occupies the same space] as the other planets. Chart examples include Joseph Campbell, Oprah Winfrey and Jeff Buckley.

In this episode we shift to an often overlooked part of any astrological examination---the elements [Fire, Earth, Air, Water.] From the work of the pre-Socratic philosophers to CG Jung and typology and finally, the recent work of neuro-anatomist, Jill Bolte-Taylor, we explore ways to deal with the element in the chart that might be weak, but which is often the place where the solutions can be found. In a tribute to his earthy chart, Andre provides you with some practical ways of getting that missing element online through a simple exercise with the breath.
*Note: As my weakest element is air I managed to bungle up the air signs by suggesting that tow of the three air signs [Gemini, Libra, Aquarius] are Mercury ruled. Obviously not. Only Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Libra is ruled by Venus and Aquarius by Saturn.

"Discovered" in 2005, you might be inclined to discount this planetary body which demoted Pluto due, in part, to the work of self-described Pluto killer, Mike Brown. The mythology of this dwarf planet is fascinating and important. She plays the key role in igniting the Trojan War and is also responsible, according to the poet Hesiod, for the turning of the natural world on one day when the sun rose in the West and set in the East. What was happening around 2005 and is there a connection to these stories? In this episode, recorded for Andre's channel in 2022, we argue that there is. And it's a strong one. We felt we could not improve on our exploration from last year and so we leave you with this conversation about the warrior goddess and what her "discovery" portends for us all.

In this episode, Andre and Béa explore the archetypal Pluto, demoted in the world of astronomy but still very much present in the archetypal world which scoffs at our attempts to repress things. In this episode we explore the personal, the political, the motivational and the inevitable expressions of this archetype. Is Pluto the planet of transformation as the moderns claim? Well, yes. But expect to roast a bit at first, because nothing comes without the sacrifice of something the ego holds dear.
-
In this episode, Andre and Béa journey into the psychedelic-like dream world of Neptune, the god of dreams, mystery, and addiction. As we examine some of the tales connected to this archetype, we ask--is it possible to speak about such things without slipping into the mist? You might be surprised to learn about the archetype's darker side and be interested in some of the remedies that help us stay grounded in reality.
-
With this episode, the archetypal begins to really take shape. The visible and invisible spheres of the world are separated by the planets that lie beyond Saturn. The first of these planets is Uranus, whose "discovery" in 1781 heralded the unmistakable entry into the modern era. Uranus is electric, quirky, brilliant, and revolutionary. Every seven years, it passes through each sign, marking historical eras and generations. Given US history, its passage through Gemini [starting in 2025] is significant. What does it now portend?
