#56 | Brian Clark | Athena's Judgement | Australia's Moment

Today I’m joined for a third time on the podcast by Astrologer, Brian Clark. 

We recorded this podcast on October 2nd and release it now on October 13th on the eve of the solar eclipse in Libra. The episode continues on with the year-long exploration of the signs of the Zodiac, with interviews with people who have strong signatures of the sign that we’re delving into. Brian is no exception to this rule with his Sun and several other planets inhabiting the sign of the scales. 

It's special for me to have Brian on the show as he is a mentor of mine, as he is with so many others. I have been the benefactor of his lifelong engagement with Greek Mythology. In fact, Brian even helped map out the ancient sites of Greece for me, opening the imagination to where these old stories were dreamed up in the first place.

In this episode we focus on a mythic moment where the Goddess Athena, daughter of the great god Zeus, is asked to deliberate on a jury that is hung six-six. The tension point is between the ancient and the modern of their time. We use this myth to explore a moment in Australian history, tomorrow in fact, where the Australian people decide yes or no on whether to add an indigenous voice to parliament. 

Whatever your stance on this moment, I ask you to hold an open mind to our mythic wanderings. I also remind you to, as always with this podcast, try to think less literally and more mythologically; especially when we enter the depth of the mythic material. When we discuss male, female, mother, father, we are talking about timeless archetypal experiences that are alive within us all. The interior world of Soul. Rather than roles and positions in society at large.
