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 DKF/Understanding the Natal Chart/ Lesson 8
Sun in Sagittarius With
the Sun In Sagittarius a person needs to develop the inquisitiveness that
leads to exploring and stretching beyond the confines of what is known. The
quest of the Sagittarian is for a context in which to find the purpose of
oneself. There is a need to know what are the boundaries and
limitations by testing one's freedom to be, to think, to move. This
individual needs to challenge the impossible both physically and mentally.
It is in this way that the truth of one's limitations can be understood,
as well as the decision to direct oneself toward a specific goal.
Sun
in the Ninth House Statement
of the Ninth House Sun Moon
in Sagittarius With
the Moon in Sagittarius an individual has the memory of racing around the
world without restrictions. The
person is instinctively freedom loving, adventurous, mentally curious,
inquisitive, straightforward. This individual cannot be tied down and
thrives on challenges that defy limitations. There is a tendency toward
hyperactive tension and claustrophobia when insecure and stressed. The
mother would give this free spirit room to explore both physically and
mentally, but at times she may be too permissive and not give the child
the direction that is needed, or unduly
influenced in the performance of the maternal role by religious or
spiritual ideals. Moon
in the Ninth House Statement
of Ninth House Moon I
remember seeking understanding and guidance in walking a spiritual path.
I yearn for the days when life was simpler, purer and there was more
awareness of spiritual values. Sometimes I can recall these times in
dreams.
I am very idealistic and live my
life by what I believe in. I fear being wrong and sometimes refuse to see
another person's point of view if it contradicts my own. I am interested
in the diversity of cultures and feel restricted in my own. I need to
explore the world and try to find a place for myself in it. |
