The Astrology Of The Shadow
An introduction to shadow work through the 7th house, oppositions, and projection patterns in the natal chart
The 'Astrology of the Shadow' helps you identify your shadow through key chart indicators like the 7th house, oppositions, and other shadow signatures.
The "shadow" is a term derived from the work of Carl Jung, describing the parts of ourselves that we deny, disown, or repress because they don’t align with our ideal self-image.
Astrology offers a unique lens to explore the shadow, revealing how unconscious patterns shape our behaviors, relationships, and experiences.
In astrology, the shadow can be explored through:
- Aspects and Complexes: Hard aspects highlight internal conflicts or traits that have been repressed. The opposition aspect, in particular, is the hallmark of projection, often manifesting through relationships, where we see in others the qualities we deny in ourselves
- The 7th House: traditionally known as the house of partnerships and open enemies, the 7th house represents the traits we project onto others and struggle to see in ourselves
- Planetary Archetypes: Each planet carries archetypal energies that can manifest positively or negatively depending on how they are integrated. For example, a Saturn placement might indicate unacknowledged discipline - or unresolved fears of failure
- Polarities: Every sign and house axis represents a balance of opposites. For example, Aries-Libra explores the tension between independence and partnership, Taurus-Scorpio between our own resources and shared resources, and so on
The Astrology of the Shadow teaches you how to identify and work with the hidden parts of yourself reflected in your chart, helping you transform projections into self-awareness and integration.
