PRINCIPLES

Principles of Humanistic and Transpersonal Astrology

Astrology and self-knowledge

Recognizing the human being as a being integrated into a larger family, a cosmic being that belongs to a planet, a system, a galaxy, a universe. The systemic understanding of being inserted into a larger plan accentuates a sense of participation and fulfillment of an individual destiny within the collective. Self-knowledge leads us to recognize not only ourselves but also the individual performance of our place in the world , which we call: participation or life mission of each being.

Principle of Individuation

Each person recognizes in themselves individual characteristics, components of their personality, which distinguish them as unique beings, as singular individuals with certain particular aspects that allow them to be distinguished from others .

The recognition of the self, of the different personalities and their respective shadows, leads to the knowledge of a center in each of us, its function is to be an integrating center of the different experiences. In astrology, the Sun represents the center of consciousness, the knowledge of oneself and the recognition of one's position within the whole.

Transpersonal approach

After the process or path of individuation, the being that lives within us begins to consciously recognize a vaster and more intelligent plan of the universe that presides over life. In each being, consciously or not, there is a connection and a communion between the immanent and the transcendent, and when these connect they create a transpersonal and synchronic symbiosis in which the self and the ego merge for moments, creating the synchronistic event. Carl Jung called this phenomenon Aion, the beings that recognize this experience call it the eternal present, the here and now. Another form of expression is that of Dane Rudhyar, who created an image in which it would be we who happen to things and not them to us! In one way or another, what happens is that from this perspective nothing happens by chance, therefore, there is a link, a connection with the event, with the phenomenon between us and the thing, as if there were an attraction and a biunivocal correspondence between sender and receiver that trigger synchronous events in which subject and object merge, it is a bit like in quantum physics when the observer interferes in the manifestation of the phenomenon – the polarized event in the form of a wave or particle.

The transpersonal approach allows the individual to go beyond the volitional aspect of the personality , that is, he can move away from the center of his self and allow himself to be encompassed by another greater whole. In this movement, he is able to capture other senses and meanings and, at certain moments, place himself at the service of cosmic intentionality, thus opening the way to intuition and the perception of other levels of reality.
