		<title>A chain of conditioning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been interested in my great great grandfather. I think it was from him that I inherited rather an old etymological dictionary that I consumed as a boy. I remember at about the age of 8 writing out all of the germanic verbs that I found in it. He was first president of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sabian Pentagon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As four is the number of matter in motion, five is the number of mind. I thought it would be interesting to have a look again at how the number five plays out in the Sabian Symbols. The fifth harmonic, is the series of quintile and biquintile aspects, which according to Esoteric Astrology concern the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Astrology of the Path</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having been an astrologer many years ago, I think about the role of the planets as sign posts in treading the path. And if you&#8217;ve been following you&#8217;ll remember that I have Saturn going through the 12th house. Anyway, we discussed that then and this is now. Alice Bailey wrote an interesting work called Esoteric [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another look at Saturn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about Saturn lately; probably because I&#8217;ve got Saturn transiting through the 12th house. And now it&#8217;s working its way towards Venus, which is easily arguably my chart ruler. Saturn represents structure, boundaries and limitations. Psychologically speaking it represents the ego, not as some central point of I, but as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stumbling along the path</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just because we&#8217;ve had an awakening of sorts doesn&#8217;t mean that we&#8217;ve been transfigured. It&#8217;s a long journey. In astrological symbolism we reverse the wheel in Libra, transform the emotional nature in Scorpio, silence our thoughts in Sagittarius and become transfigured in Capricorn. I think people misunderstand the concept of sudden enlightenment. Satori itself is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hercules in Sagittarius</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like the story of Hercules in Sagittarius; it is the story of the Stymphalian birds. The birds had migrated to Lake Stymphalus in Arcadia to escape a pack of wolves. in 1987 Swiss ornithologist Michael Desfayes suggested that they may actually have been based upon a real (and harmless) bird, the bald ibis, now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saturn transiting the 12th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had Saturn going through my 12th house since about the end of 2007. Although it finally made its entry mid 2008. And it&#8217;s going to persist there until about the end of 2011. That&#8217;s a four year transit. At the beginning of the transit I started doing psychosynthesis counselling. Saturn through the 12th is [...]]]></description>
