What You'll Learn in this Course
The zodiac contains 6 natural sign polarities.
Learning to see in terms of polarity helps with understanding both the shadows and potential gifts of each sign.
Polarities can act like allopathic remedies where the cure is found in the opposite.
Myth is our guide in deepening our understanding of the needs and values of each sign and the medicine they offer their polarity partner.
In this course we look at C.G. Jung’s idea of the tension of opposites and James Hillman’s idea of the “union of sames” so to deepen our appreciation for the psychological value of polarities and the opposition aspect.
We will then explore the polarity dynamic of each zodiac pair through Greek myth, and discern some of the archetypal themes belonging to each pair.
