Aspects And The Hero's Journey
An original look at the astrological aspects through the lens of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey
"Aspects And The Hero's Journey" is an original look at the astrological aspects through the lens of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey
We are wired to learn through stories.
The Hero's Journey is a framework to help you understand the astrological aspects in an intuitive, profound and effective way.
The Hero's Journey is a metaphor for our initiatic journey of self-discovery and character formation.
Joseph Campbell has conceptualized and described 12 stages of the hero’s journey.
These 12 stages correspond to the 12 aspects that 2 planets make in their cycle, from conjunction, to the closing semi-sextile.
When we start looking at aspects as a story of development, not just a list of traits, the chart stops being abstract and begins to behave more like a living storyline, with its own rhythm and meaning.
In the “Aspects and the Hero’s Journey” course we explore:
- How aspects unfold within a planetary cycle (and why “easy vs. hard” is an incomplete model)
- How myth and individuation can help you understand aspects as developmental dynamics rather than permanent personality verdicts
- How the sequence of aspects - from conjunction to semi-sextile, sextile, square, and beyond - illustrates different stages in a cycle of growth
- The difference between opening (waxing) and closing (waning) aspects, those that are “going out into the world” vs those that are “bringing it back home," and how that changes interpretation
- Examples from myth, fairy tales, and movie characters that bring these dynamics to life, alongside astrological chart examples
The “Aspects And The Hero’s Journey” webinar brings a bigger-picture lens that helps you see how aspects fit into a larger process of growth.
This is for you if you already have some understanding of aspects but want to grasp the deeper developmental logic behind them.
