Shadow under the Rule of Saturn
With Dyane Sherwood, Jungian Analyst
In astrology, the planet Saturn rules during the dark winter months, over the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. Here we can stay unconscious, act to protect any threat to the established ways, or take the opportunity to face limitations and the Shadow effects of unconscious and repetitive behaviors.
This talk will not focus on astrology but rather on one’s internal response, what is nascent deep in the psyche, when this kind of Shadow is consciously recognized and faced.
The accompanying image is from a famous alchemical manuscript, the Splendor Solis. It shows the outer situation and the inner one (in the alembic) at this moment of conscious recognition but prior to any outer change.
