Description
In the horoscopic model, the mythological symbols named Venus and Mars can show us both our longing for belonging (Venus, our attraction to pleasure, beauty, connection, eros) and to authenticity, Mars, (our desire for autonomy and agency). Astrologers in the Middle Ages said of these two natures: “Mars separates, Venus unites.” However, they are not in conflict: they are both archetypal pictures of how we find our way in all the complex dynamics of the life we will live.
Often Mars and Venus are shared and talked about as being related to sexuality and gender. But, Mars and Venus cannot be reduced to gender. They offer us energetic qualities to cultivate which allow for our most authentic expression of self.
Do we feel fully supported to bring our strength – our Mars; and passion – our Venus, into the world? Are we allowed to be as big and as alive as we are? Does it feel terrifying to let the loudness of your care and curiosity show to those around you and to yourself?
Working in concert with Jungian astrologer Carol Ferris, the constellations in this session will take as their starting point the locations of Venus and Mars in the birth chart of the client. The constellation emerges from there, integrating Carol’s understanding of the interplay of the archetypes with the movements of the representatives. This is the fourth year that we will be working in this way, and the healing and integration have been so extraordinary that we can’t resist another dip into this pool.
Join Sarah and Carol in their mutual constellation work to explore these inherent qualities in each of us.
