Plants and Planets
Astrology provides us with a multivalent language where a planet's archetypal expression shows up in minerals, plants, animals, emotions, senses, and the psychological and physical makeup of a person. We will learn how to see the expressions of planetary archetypes in people and plants. We will also cover the history of this tradition of medical astrology. This class is geared toward allowing people to perceive these archetypal patterns all around us in everyday life, and is not a class on chart interpretation. As a healthcare practitioner, it provides a unique perspective to see the underlying patterns of disease.
We will cover:
Yin (Nocturnal) and Yang (Diurnal)
The 5 elements of fire, earth, air, water and ether
The significations of the 5 “inner planets” and 2 luminaries of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn according to traditional western medical astrology
Plants and Planets: We will go step by step through how to determine a planetary archetype for a plant and how to match it to the right person
