We are descending into the quiet heart of autumn. Herein a melodic salve for the beleaguered spirit, an acoustic contemplation on the deepening light.
“Elemental Ruminations: Alchemical Fire, Earth, Air, Water”.
Join me for an archetypal psychological exploration of alchemical elements forming a micro-cosmology of the soul. Deep astrology and rich images. My webinar host is Astrology University, you can register here.
This playlist is a prayer to Pisces. Whether instrumental or lyric laden, each piece gives expression to some kind of release. It is a supplication for grace. May we each find an opening into the mystic and be renewed therein.
When the Sun enters Aries it marks a kind of rebirth in the zodiac wheel. We are in the season of renewal as the Sun illuminates Aries which is symbolized by the leaping ram who rushes forth into life, bounding and exploring with a surefooted innocence. We begin again. Spring in its merciful tenderness brings an increase of light and the promise of blossoms. I’ve collected some instrumental pieces evocative of this moment—the cello expresses the transition between winter and spring with such longing and joy.
Crossing the threshold into Scorpio and the autumnal mysteries that take us inside, underneath and in-between things.
‘I desire’, Scorpio’s phrase, brings us into the depths. To know and articulate your desire you have to feel into things, explore, spelunk. This is a time for penetrating surfaces, getting to the bottom of things, secrets, mysteries, the intimacy of turning inward. As if from the fearless heart of Scorpio come these words of Rumi’s:
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from the beyond.
This is also a time of year when we turn to our ancestors whose legacies are in our bones and need to be honored. Celebrating our connection to the underworld in all hallows eve, samhain, dia de los muertos…
To get us into the flow of Scorpio, I’ve curated a playlist of some ambient and world fusion beats. Slow rhythms and deeper resonances to help mark this threshold crossing. Invite the darkening of the light.
