Mythology & Archetypal Astrology
Demetra revisits her mythological roots with the new perspective provided by her recent studies of Traditional Astrology. Drawing from ancient philosophy, myths, artistic symbolism and depth psychology, Demetra explores the intimate connection between gods, celestial bodies, and the human psyche. How does the mind make myths, projecting these images upon the heavens that in turn reflect back meaning at the moment of birth, shaping our lives and behavior? What can the myths associated with prominent planets in the birth chart reveal about the transpersonal dimension of our existence?

Asteroids can bring us to the brink of the great mystery when we discover their significations woven into the tapestry of our fate from the moment of birth. They have been linked with spirit guides, daimons, karma, and destiny, providing the specific details of the major life themes indicated by the planets.
In addition to Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, astrologers now have access to zodiacal positions of more than 20,000 named asteroids. This course will propel you into the study of all those other asteroids.
