Cyclical History in Astropoetic Exploration

 

Could a car accident be an opening to soul?

In my last post in this series, I discussed the limitations of interpretation as a platform for a soulful use of astrology.  To illustrate these limitations, I chose an example from my own life – a car accident that occurred during a transit of Mars conjunct my natal Mercury – taken from my book, The Seven Gates of Soul. 

After quickly exhausting the capacity of traditional astrology to shed light on this incident, I reviewed the sensory and emotional dimensions of both Mercury and Mars as I experienced them in the car accident, and suggested that my vulnerability and anger were potentially an opening to soul, were I in fact, willing to go through the opening. 

In this post, I want to demonstrate how it is possible to do that.
