"Did we learn anything in these last 19 months? Did we learn to value life differently?"
Brian Clark is a Classics Scholar with a rich and comprehensive knowledge of Greek Mythology and Astrology. He joins me on this Christmas Eve Edition of the show to discuss:
We then settle in to discuss the state of culture in the world today. What happened to the revolutionaries of the '60s? How can we escape the hypnotic grip of advertising and commodification to return to a sense of place and purpose in life?
Naturally, this leads us back to C.G. Jung; the archetypal lens; and the sense that even though we're lost in troubled seas the gods have not deserted us. In fact, Venus is preparing, yet again, to be born in the Eastern Sky - an event that begs our participation.
I invite you to join us for this wandering, meandering journey. Brian is a true elder and a master in his field. It was an honour to have him on the show.
AstroSynthesis was set up by Brian in 1986 and taught extensive trainings in astrology (4-7 year diplomas and masters) until 2010. His 12-module course is still available at this website as well as an almost endless reservoir of his essays and teachings. He is the author of many books including Soul, Symbol and Imagination; the Artistry of Astrology. He is also a lecturer at The London Faculty of Astrological Studies and has written extensively for The Mountain Astrologer.
