"allegory -fr. Latin: allegoria - speaking of one thing under the guise of another"

Hi All,

Let me know if this is a thread you see as helpful for learning EA.  Here is the idea:

There are times in our lives when we hear from others talking about the patterns in their life and the words they say reflect a manifestation of an archetype we know and use in Evolutionary Astrology. 
For example, when working toward clarifying the meaning of a Pluto placement to a friend or client, I often hear them reiterate the core Pluto meaning in their own words in the form of analogy, symbolism, or story.

A specific example is, recently, while trying to relate the core meaning of a Pluto 3rd conjunct Jupiter, balsamic, retrogrades in Leo; early spiritual evolutionary stage:  they responded: 
"I think of myself as an squirrel going around and adding acorns to my basket."

Goddess Bless,
Bradley

Hi Bradley,

What you are describing has happened to me on several occasions (i.e. I was trying to describe the core evolutionary intentions of Pluto in this or that house to friends or family and some of them would pick up on that and reformulate it in their own words to describe what they were experiencing). I must say it's a beautiful experience and I find it invaluable for gaining a better understanding of the respective Pluto/Nodal Axis placement.

Although nobody has come up with similar allegories that I might share here, I just wanted to let you know that I believe this to be very helpful indeed in the process of learning EA.

All the best,

Serban

Hi Bradley, I totally know what your talking about here. I think it would insightful to explore this more.

Sometimes when a client reformulates a phrase in their own words, I end up learning more about the signatures than I originally had understood. And I think to myself "God, I just wish it could always be like this!"

I like this!

I think I have one for the Leo Moon, or (Leo Archetype in general).

You know when a little kid  (like 3 or 4) is on the playground with their mom or dad, and every two seconds they are like "mom, watch this!" --then in two more seconds,"dad look at me go upside down, Look Look!" , Mom, MOM! LOOOOK, look at me now!" ..And it just keeps going like that the whole entire time, one after the other, until the playground time is over.

That allegory is so sweet Dhyana!

Quote from the woman with the paradoxical chart, Moon and Saturn in Scorpio ruling SN Cancer / NN Cap respectively, and Scorpio in the 2nd house:  "I don't trust anyone"  and  "I need MORE to feel secure."

Ah! Linda... my Leo Moon loves that you like it and find it sweet !

And bravo re: the woman w/ the paradoxical chart!

Quote from a woman, 3rd individuated with Neptune in Capricorn in the 9th house-hiding signature- "When I visit my parents home I don't want to be pushy, so I just remain silent unless someone wants to hear about what I'm up to"

Quote from woman with no Pluto polarity point, natal Pluto/Virgo/10th, North Node Leo conjunct MC:  "I never want to work in society again."

"You will."   

A young guy from the Pluto in Scorpio Generation ( we were interacting on FB) and he said....

"...See I solve the mysteries before they happen. But I like that you got to the bottom of it, thats what I do for everything."



This thread is really useful!

My son, who is 9 years old -Pluto in Sag House 1 opposing Saturn in Gemini House 7, Mercury Rx in Libra House 10, says:
"Mom, who made up words anyhow, and where did they even come from?"

Peace,
Dhyana

ADDED as an afterthought-  This was said as Saturn had gone Rx...  i found that even more interesting (considering his 7th House Saturn in Gem etc.).
