“Look,” said the Cosmos, “Everything Is Never Not Unfolding in a Dynamic Cycle of Life and Death”

from In Our Nature · host Siobhán Friel

This is part two of our short interlude exploring the archetypical language of astrology in the context of our time of extraordinary planetary upheaval. In part one, we explored astrology as a language of nature and why it's scorned and dismissed (giveway: because it would collapse the economy, no, really). That can be found here:  This Ancient Language of Nature Has Much to Say About Our Time of UnravellingToday we’re seeing what astrology can show us about the Three Stories of Our Time as framed by the late, great Joanna Macy and the Work That Reconnects. Join me for a quickie on:Why “Business as Usual” is the fundamental  denial of cycles…and why astrology doesn’t let us get away with thatHow astrology shows the Great Unravelling as natural, painful, and utterly unavoidableAnd what about the Great Turning already? How astrology and the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects both remind us (over and over and over again) that life is nourished and fed by a spiral of expansion, contratction, death and rebirthEr yay to all that?Mentioned or relevant:Part one of this astrological interlude: This Ancient Language of Nature Has Much to Say About Our Time of UnravellingPart three: Seeing with New & Ancient Eyes: Astrology & the Work That Reconnects Richard Tarnas, author of the mind-bogging Cosmos & PsycheWork That Reconnects Network Three Stories of our TimeJoanna Macy My article: The Solar Return of the Work That Reconnects Network Water Rising event: Astrology.
