The Sun=LIGHT&TRUTH “Turning on the heat” We are all Sun Worshippers. It is easy to understand how this star became a deity to the ancients considering it warms and replenishes us into activity and strength. Turns out, we are all batteried by solar power, just like the reptiles. Our doctors and cosmetologists tell us to…

The shadow=DISSONANCE “Confront your shadow self” We were very young when first we became aware of The Shadow. No happy moment, no celebration of joy as unaffected by its subtle miasma. But what is it exactly? Much of childhood – history itself, in fact – is absorbed by the effort to put a name to…

Rainbow=SERENDIPITY “Greatest good luck?” Rainbows have vast cultural, religious, and psychological implications. They announce that the storm is past and offer a gateway to somewhere obviously special, right up there in the sky, a glittering gateway beckoning with every color in the spectrum. “There’s a land that I dream of,” sang Judy Garland yearningly and…

The Lovers=ALLIANCES: “Best Friends” Becoming a lover is forging an alliance for the future. We’re not talking of two raindrops crashing into each other for sex, but a mutual declaration of benefit.

Conflict is an inevitability. No heat without friction, no forward movement without energy expenditure, no flight without first shedding our comfort carapace. When we want change, we are inviting conflict.The question is how much in control we feel. Triggers “set us off”; i.e. trigger any chain of events we may feel helpless over. But are…
