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 Libra With
the Sun In Libra a person is developing greater awareness of others. In
his dealings with others the Libran is developing the qualities of
diplomacy, fairness, harmony and cooperation, but above all, of equality.
This individual is learning to respond to the concept of justice in an
impartial manner that, at the same time, extends to himself. Many people
with this placement are trying to throw off the habit of servility or
domination by authority. The Libran tends to be a people pleaser
and is cautious to not antagonize others. This individual can be easily
swayed by the opinions of others until there is a conceptual understanding
of the need to balance opposing viewpoints with spiritual values.
Sun
in the Seventh House The
seventh house is the House of Libra and relates to the process of
developing a greater understanding of self through the mirror reflections
of others. It is through the perception of self and the interaction with
another that one can recognize the missing expressions of self. The
individual continues to look for another to fulfill the missing
expressions of self in the search of the 'The One' or 'The Perfect Match'
until there is a personal internal balance and equilibrium of the
contrasting expressions of male/female qualities. Statement
of the Seventh House Sun I
entered this life to establish a balance of male/female projections. As
long as I can remember, I was fascinated by the idea of finding
everlasting love with a partner who would
respect me, and my contribution.
As far as I knew, it was the means to happiness if I truly met my
other half. My partner and I took on our pre-ordained male/female roles.
He was decisive; I was submissive. I devoted my self and my life to my
other half. Happiness eluded us and we found ourselves opposing each other
on everything. I found my self alone - again
and again - and in time came to understand the necessity of
relating with another as an individual with personal goals of my own,
rather than as the role model I assumed. I learned to be honest with my
self and with another. I learned to be assertive as well as cooperative,
rather than submit myself to the will of another to avoid friction and
discord. I learned to receive as well as to give. I learned that the
matter of sex in a relationship has to be dealt with in accordance with
each individual's understanding of
responsibility. I learned that the way to deal with opposing forces
is through the mediation of the intellect with a progressive sense of
values. Moon
in Libra With
the Moon in Libra an individual is instinctively pleasant, charming,
sociable, friendly, diplomatic. The individual needs to be around people
and thrives on popularity. There is a tendency to be easily swayed by the
opinions of others and indecisive when insecure and stressed.
The mother would be friendly, popular and well thought of, and she
would probably provide you with many social activities. But at times she
may seem so busy with her social demands that you feel excluded. Moon
in the Seventh House An
individual with the Moon in the seventh house has a memory of experiencing
security and purposefulness with
another in a personal relationship or marriage and seeks to relive that
memory. In many cases, he will have been born
to parents who had a conventionally successful marriage. The
challenge for the individual with the Moon in the seventh house is to move
on independently from that and consider a relationship from an objective
and intelligent point of view rather than a subjective and emotional one. Statement
of Seventh House Moon I
remember the experience of happiness, security
and productivity in a personal relationship. I feel secure and
self-assured when there is another that I can identify with and share my
life with. I want to have a partner in my life because without
one I feel exposed, lonely and inadequate.
