During this two-day workshop, one of a series of four foundational modules on archetypal astrology, we will explore the place of the planetary archetype Pluto in human life. The universal principle of depth, power, and transformation, Pluto manifests in the elemental force of nature, ever destroying and creating, ensuring that life is always dying to the old and being born to the new, symbolized by the alchemical Uroborus, the tail-eating serpent or dragon, consuming itself in the perpetual cycle of instinctual life. In Jungian psychology, Pluto is associated with the dark power repressed into the shadow that finds expression in our drives, obsessions, and compulsions. It is connected, too, with Dionysian passion, demonic possession, shamanic dismemberment, and the binding grip of fate, imposing on us a calling and pulling us inexorably into our depths for rebirth and transformation. Using film clips, music, and text, the lecture presentation by Keiron Le Grice will draw on a range of examples from the arts, philosophy, and psychology to help you recognize and understand Pluto’s role in your own life. Over the weekend, you will learn the fundamental techniques and principles needed to work with astrology for yourself mediated through a close engagement with your own chart. There will also be opportunities for group discussion and informal conversation with instructors and classmates. Other workshops in this series focus on Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. We hope you can join us! See schedule and further details at the bottom of the page.
