The Archetype
|
Living is the aim of life, and to live life is to mature not only physically but
also emotionally and spiritually. To live life in thought, word, and action in
accordance to values expressed in the Archetype is to bring order to the world
and peace and harmony to ourselves.
Without an understanding of the Archetype, the practice of astrology is a hollow
shell. The value of astrology as a guideline for living is pointless without a
deep appreciation of the Archetype as a means to guide the rectification of character.
"Everything that man accomplishes or does, that he teaches or wants to learn,
must have its right proportion; it must follow its own line and remain within
its circle, to the end that a balance is preserved, that there be no crooked
thing, that nothing exceed the circle." --- Paracelsus.

Princeton University Press. 1973)
