  Welcome to Jungian Analyst/Author, Sharon Heath, Alliance member and  brilliant Gemini,  whose latest work of fiction, The History of My Body, is about to be released  into our midst.  Those astrologically inclined will appreciate the remarkable genius of a Sun/Uranus conjunction in Gemini, as applied to literature, after a foray into this captivating work, which may be purchased any minute through Fisher King Press.

  Boston....I second Bonnie's comments about your unusual name. One day when you have time, myself, and I'm sure many others at the Alliance would love to know the origins around why that name given to you.  What books in the vast astrological library are you drawn to? I thought today it would be interesting to ask each member to present a question/a thought/ or a musing  that is archetypal/astrological in nature.  Then those of us who wish to may respond.....

  In the mean time,  Boston , so glad to make your acquaintance !Judie

  Judie--It's true. Sometimes it's hard to follow discussions. I didn't see Lucille's comment on the group page either but I found it by going to Lucille's page where all her posts are archived and clicking on it (hope this is OK Lucille. Here's a link to directly to the post: http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/group/archetypal-astrology/f...

  I checked out LILIAN'S  website just now and found it to be  aesthetically quite lovely.  There are many astrological  gems to be had there in general, and with this full harvest moon in particular.  

   

  Here is a little exercise, that some may also be familiar with related to the new moon cycle. About forty-eight hours after every new moon, look up into the night sky until you spot the first sliver of  the crescent moon . If you know astrology just a  little meditate upon the intention you wish to set for the next 28 or so days of that moon's cycle, from new to full, to old moon.  If you do not know the sign that the new moon falls in, then find it on the internet or another source. Say it's the new moon in Virgo, like the one we just had.  Familiarize  yourself with the archetypal qualities of that Virgo new moon, such as work, health, service, industriousness, Hestian sacredness and inwardness., etc. Then set your personal intention/ and/or pose a question  around those particular qualities related to the Virgo archetype.   Then watch how these unfold in a purposeful, meaningful way in your  life. You will see the greatest activity around the first 7-10 days, then around 14-16 days, then at 23  or so days and finally 2-3- days  before the new moon completes it cycle.

   

  I love this exercise.  It has never failed to be in sync with and to embody the archetypal principles as they unfold in daily life and as they relate to the sign the new moon has been in. 

   

  What will YOU harvest in less than two weeks??!!

  Hello Lilan, What a lovely name. Now that you mentioned it, this is a very full and promising harvest moon..I look forward to reading your MOONLETTER and I will do so this evening when I return from seeing my psychotherapy patients. The term harvest is such a great metaphor for the Virgo time  of the year.  In the beginning stages of learning the astrological language, the idea of metaphor and archetypal thought were my best teachers. It  seems in one way or another we're always aiming for an archetypal  harvest in life... But sometimes the tree is full of fruit and other times not so full.  But just the real life-oriented act of service itself, to others is the harvest. Of course therein lies the Pisces/Virgo polarity...Pisces as the archetype of cosmic sacrifice and Virgo as the personal/human piece .   I look forward to , getting to know you, to experiencing your participation,  and to  the many Moonletters  to come...Judie

  Hello all, I am so pleased to see the formation of this group. Thank you. I have been a consulting Astrologer for over 20 years, and am highly informed by Jung's approach to archetypes. I look forward to inspiring discussion with like-minded people. I send a Moon Letter each month at the Full Moon. Since today is the Harvest Full Moon, I thought I would share it with you. You can click on: MOONLETTER.
