The Courageous Decade – Video Series

“…if we respect these troublesome states, realizing that they might be the consequence of a deeper order forming within us…from the watery chaos, which is ‘unspeakably tossed about,’ the elements, the basic building blocks of the world, come into existence.”

― Nathan Schwartz-Salant

I’ve been meaning to share a more in-depth look at how the planetary shifts through conjunctions and ingresses into a new sign as a primer for us to make sense of this creatively tumultuous decade, or what I’ve been calling: The Courageous Decade.

Part 1 of the Courageous Decade

Cosmic Primer – “Winter” & “Spring” Signs
Waxing & Waning – an archetypal process

Weaving an archetypal and psychological perspective, this video helps you see how this decade is an epoch shift, how astrology helps us understand our current moment, and how a cycle starts and unfolds. These videos will explore the key planetary shifts in more detail to help you see how what seems chaotic and unsettling has the seeds of a new zeitgeist.

Part 2 – The foundational cosmic seeds of this Courageous Decade

The Bigger Backdrop – The Longer Cycles
The Interregnum
The mood set by the conjunction of Saturn & Pluto
The alchemy of Saturn & Pluto

Part 3 – The Air Epoch

The Air Epoch Transition
Saturn & Uranus
The Alchemy of Air

Part 4 – The Feng Shui & Planetary Ingresses

Beginnings & Shifts – new seeds birthing a new zeitgeist
Ingresses – Feng Shui for the collective
Activation – Pluto Style

I hope you’ve enjoyed this video series and found it helpful in putting things into perspective.

My intention is that it would give you my equivalent of New York’s subway map (I have a big one hanging in my hallway, and I love its design) so you can get your bearings in these times. Hold on because we’re in for the ride of our lives.

If you found these videos helpful, please share them with someone who would also benefit from this work. I’m very appreciative of your help in sharing my work with others.

Plus, if this was helpful to you, please let me know your main takeaways. It’s nice to hear from you and learn how what I’m sharing is helping you on your journey.

Enjoy & Thrive!
