Planetary Forces – Sun

Posted on June 28, 2010 by drholyangel

The Sun is the center of our solar system, just as the heart chakra is the central chakra of our energy system. When we live from our heart, we find our courage. However, a Sun out of control is quite destructive (think supernova), and if we let our Sun get the better of us, egotism and arrogance result. This leaves a path of destruction in our lives, and in the lives of those around us. Continue reading →

Planetary Forces – Jupiter

Posted on June 25, 2010 by drholyangel

Traditionally, the third chakra is associated with the force of Will, and the ability to put oneself forth in the world. Jupiter is an expansive, beneficent force in astrology, so the “putting forth” part of the chakra is well represented by this planet. Continue reading →

Planetary Forces – Saturn

Posted on June 18, 2010 by drholyangel

The planet associated with the first chakra (located in the perineum) is Saturn. This planet is paired with Key 21 (The World) of the Tarot’s major arcana. Astrologically speaking, Saturn has often gotten something of a bad rap. You know, terms like “the great malefic” have been offered to describe it. This misses the point. Continue reading →

The World Turned Upside-Down

Posted on June 14, 2010 by drholyangel

The title of today’s post is the name of a song that many mistakenly believe the British played at the surrender of Yorktown. The controversy is an interesting read and you can see it here, although Yorktown has nothing to … Continue reading →

Hard Work, Little Gain

Posted on June 9, 2010 by drholyangel

All Pentacles in Tarot tend to signify material reality, the physical plane. This tarot suit is sometimes called Coins, and has become the suit of Diamonds in modern playing card decks. So, money, physical stuff. Sevens in Tarot aren’t always the most auspicious of cards. Continue reading →

De Profundis

Posted on June 5, 2010 by drholyangel

According to Biblical lore, King David (in the picture) wrote this when he was feeling pretty low, which seems to have been fairly often if you’ve ever given Psalms a look. This was evidently David’s scene: feel bad, pluck the lyre, make up a psalm. Probably worked as well as any anti-depressant. He was one of the world’s premier music therapists, I suppose.

The World Dancer

Posted on June 3, 2010 by drholyangel

Aligned with Saturn, the planet of limitation and materialization, Key 21 has plenty of symbols that indicate limits. This is good because, without limitation, energy would be unregulated and never get organized enough to become anything material. Continue reading →
