with Jason Holley

The image of Aries recalls the magical creature, Phrixus, a flying ram with a Golden Fleece who was a savior of innocent children and later became a sacrificial animal for kings. In this webinar we will explore the story of Phrixus, whose fleece inspired one of the most famous journeys in all of Greco-Roman myth – involving characters such as Jason and Medea, Ajax, and a great number of other less well-known figures, the details of whose stories offer insights about many expressions of the Aries archetype.

Through study of the ancient tales and images as well as the modern stories of individuals with strong Aries placements in long-term psychotherapy, we will explore core themes of the archetype including inspiration and impulse, anxiety and courage, conflict and collision, power and powerlessness, and selflessness and selfishness, all of which constellate in the process of the Aries project of taking one’s meaningful place in the world.

We will develop a nuanced view of the situation of Aries planets that places their striking needs and capacities for uniqueness, authenticity, novelty, and progress into a larger context of the mythic quests that motivate and carry them into their many adventures.

Aries Myth

If you take good notes and pay attention Jason gets you where you need to be; conscious of the lore and how the story reflects the Aries Archetype and reinforces understanding. This teacher is a poor speaker. Lots of um-ing and ah-ing. Speaking too quickly and poorly ordering the information initially, taking time to hit a stride. The note about patriarchal reflection in the story is irresponsibly implemented. Concepts of the men being given preferential treatment in the story are clear and present, however the idea of them being directly tied to patriarchal standards only works if thats the kind of thing the listener needs to look out for. It's important for those adding these good progressive stances to be careful about giving a bias perspective to the story. It is productive and helpful to express the story as a vehicle for additionally adding the lesson of reprogramming sexism. The story is not inherently sexist or patriarchal. It simply offers the learning opportunity, and to state the story is sexist is to project onto it.

Wonderful Storytelling

Jason went into depth over the myth of Aries in a beautiful and insightful way. Highly suggest this class, and his others on the signs in myth and psyche.
