with Jason Holley
In his newest webinar, Jason Holley talks about how adding myth to our repertoire on a planet’s meaning can open up new avenues of thinking. Join Jason to hear how his reflections on the Greek myths about Ouranos and Gaia serve as doorways to understand the meaning of the planet Uranus.
Uranus, the Sky, was born from Earth and became her lover. They created many children together, yet Uranus would not allow them to emerge. He became an overbearing tyrant, creating and rejecting being after being.
The emergence of Uranus from Gaia, of Sky from Earth, mirrors the emergence of mind from bodily life and webs of earthly relations. Â Yet like Uranus, the mind often disclaims its origins and detaches, dissociates, and dominates. Â Under the influence of Uranus we experience brilliant and liberating shifts in perspective and circumstance; yet also alienation, dissociation, depersonalization, and difficulty getting past the conception stage.
In this webinar we will re-embed astrological Uranus into his mythic context and world of relations, so that a more complex picture of Uranian psychodynamics emerges, as well as feeling our way into other dreaming of how Earth and Sky might relate reciprocally.
We will explore many images from the Greek stories: of the compressing sky, of castration, of the strange Uranian progeny of Giants and Titans and Furies; as well as images from the discovery century of Uranus and from the stories of people living under especially Uranian skies by birth or transit.
This webinar is part of a new series on the planets “in myth and psyche” to follow his popular webinar series: The Signs in Myth and Psyche.
