The Foundation Students Work In Progress Work in Progress: DKF Students share their work The
D.K. Foundation is now five years old and in that time many students have
been and gone and some who arrived early on are still with us, making real
progress. Each student featured in Work in Progress has made headway
because he or she has cleared a space in their lives to make room for
their astrological studies and worked consistently hard. In Work in Progress these students share their work and are willing to answer any questions that interested website visitors might want put to them, whether those questions are about their work, their experience of being with the Foundation, or about astrology in general. There is no party line. Students are encouraged to speak honestly about their experiences. |

About Megan: Before signing on to study with the D.K. Foundation, Megan did her own research through books (Liz Greene, March & McEvers, Pottenger/Dobyns, Rudhyar, Gail Fairfield, Stephen Arroyo). All of which she found very insightful and to which she still refers. Wanting to study with CPA (Centre for Psychological Astrology), she discovered they did not have a correspondence course and so searched the web and found there were over 4000 sites to choose from! She narrowed it down to esoteric astrology which is how she finds herself with us.
About
the Series Are you making the
Correct Statement This series is based upon the following assumptions: 1.)
The Sun is a star and not a planet. It is the representative of a higher
order than the planets and in the horoscope should be understood to stand
for the Egoic plane, through
which the first aspect of the soul expresses itself. The
Sun represents our identity or who we understand ourself to be.
Developing that identity is the prime requirement of the lifetime.
This means expressing the qualities of the sign and being active in the
area of life in which the Sun is found and consciously linking in those
areas of life indicated by the house that the Sun rules accidentally. The
Sun is the natural ruler of House 5 and so its
expression in a horoscope will always imply awareness of individuality and
creative capacity, qualities that traditionally the father encourages. For
this reason, aspects to the Sun describe the experiences with the father
around the issue of developing and expressing identity. 2.)
The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the relationship between the two
is one of mutual dependency as, energetically, it is fed by all that dies
on Earth and, in turn, regulates organic life on Earth through which life
takes form. In
a horoscope, the Moon
represents the past - past forms, past identities, past experiences - that
are recorded in our psyche and expressed through our emotional
natures. The
Moon also represents the mother, the function of whom is to preserve
continuity, and the home that is the place of shelter for the form. For
this reason, aspects to the Moon describe the experiences with the mother
around the issue of receiving nurturing. The
Moon is the natural ruler of House 4 and so its
expression in a horoscope will always imply the conditioning effect of the
past from the family, the culture of birth, racial heritage. 3) Our Sun position describes our true identity .'from

Sun
in Aries With the Sun in
Aries an individual is in the process of developing the capacity for
spontaneous, independent action without undue consideration for others.
The individual has a 'me first' attitude until there is recognition of
'other' and respect for the truth of other people. Sun
in the First House The
first house is the House of Aries and relates to the process of finding
one's personal identity and the building of character. Statement
of the First House Sun: I
entered this Life to discover myself and reveal my true identity as I
perceive it. I was given a name. This name represents who I am. The manner
in which I project myself to others incurs a positive or negative
response. I identified with how others saw me until I became aware that I
could create my own identity by taking responsibility for myself and
asserting myself as I wanted to be known. Although, I may know fame and
have considerable influence over others in my chosen field of operation,
my goal is to develop integrity of self, to spontaneously respond to the
Soul intent and be effective in initiating new ideas as they surface. Moon
in Aries With
the moon in Aries an individual is instinctively active, energetic,
spontaneous, confident, assertive, brave and demanding; reacting in an
abrupt, angry, forceful, impulsive and inconsiderate manner when insecure
or stressed. The mother would be energetic and
active and encourage the individual to try new things, but at times may be
volatile and demanding. Moon
in the First House An
individual with the Moon in the 1st House has a memory of taking
initiatives and being assertive. The mother encourages
the individual toward self -development, but
is also always on the go in pursuit of her own interests. Statement
of the First House Moon: I remember being influential and having the capacity to persuade and lead others. I make my needs known and look to others to assist me in realizing my goal. I am energized by activity and new beginnings and need others to show their respect and support. I trust women and choose female role models. |
