Module 1: Basic Principles & Evolutionary Axis
In this first Module we will be laying the foundations upon which the edifice of EA chart analysis will be erected.
Our first step is to delineate exactly what we mean when we use the word Soul. This is done in Chapter 1, Lesson 1 in an exploration of the relationship between Source, Soul and Ego.
In Lesson 2, we will then be having a look at the difference between an astrological archetype and what is commonly known as a ´’sign.´ Once we are clear on what is meant by the term the Evolution of Consciousness, we can have a look at the 12 Astrological Archetypes as the Building Blocks, the Evolution and the Totality of Human Consciousness. That is done in Chapter 1, Lessons 3 to 14. We will discover how the 12 astrological archetypes are interlinked and how an astrological archetype is both a response to the one that preceeds it and preparation for the one that follows it.
In Chapter 2, we will have a first look at the Pluto placement, the south node of the Moon, its ruler, the Pluto polarity Point, the north node of the Moon, and its ruler, all by house and sign. We will be using the chart of King Charles for that. We will come to know these six points as the Evolutionary Axis. A key concept is introduced in this lesson. It is called the Inner Logic of the Soul.
The Evolutionary Axis will provide insight into the issues the soul has been exploring and comes into the current life with as its default position (Pluto by house & sign). This Axis will also shed light on the kinds of lives created by the soul to explore these issues (south node of the Moon + south node ruler), as well as on its evolutionary intentions for the current life (Pluto Polarity Point) and how these can be carried out by the person whose chart we are looking at. All remaining planet placements can be understood against the backdrop of the Evolutionary Axis.
All of Chapter 3 is dedicated to practice in setting up the Evolutionary Axis. The chart that will be used is that of Lance Armstrong.
Chapter 4 sees a first exploration of what in EA is known as skipped steps : planets that square the Nodal Axis (i.e. south node of the Moon – north node of the Moon) and which represent issues that in prior-life selves have thwarted the movement from the south node of the Moon to the north node of the Moon. The chart of Vincent van Gogh features three of these so-called skipped steps. Following an in-depth analysis of his Evolutionary Axis, we shall place them under the magnifying glass to see how they played out in his life. Much attention will be paid to integrating the skipped steps into our findings of the Evolutionary Axis so that a coherent whole arise.
In Chapter 5, finally, we will be having a first explorative look at how unresolved trauma, or rather subconscious memories thereof, travels from lifetime to lifetime and is recreated by the soul in an attempt to go beyond it. The previous three charts discussed – i.e. that of Prince Charles, Lance Armstrong and Vincent Van Gogh – will be used to see 1. What kind of trauma the Uranus placement in each points to and 2. How our findings can be integrated into the Evolutionary Axis so that we understand what function the trauma and its possible reenactment in the current life have in terms of soul evolution.
