An Individual Reading with Jessica
Soul-Sick Nation: An Astrologer's View of America
For anyone dismayed by the current state of the world, Soul-Sick Nation: An Astrologer’s View of America provides a visionary perspective as extraordinary as the times we are living in….This keenly intelligent book elucidates the meaning of an epoch in distress, and proposes a path towards healing…leaving you shorn of illusions and full of hope.
(MP3) The Emperor Has No Clothes
The transits of September 2011 highlight several ongoing themes, including the failure of leadership. In this lecture Jessica talks about how to keep our distance from the corruptions of a society that is devolving.
(MP3) Something's Happening Here
As Uranus and Pluto get ready to echo the astrological relationship they had during the turbulent 1960s, we see clear echoes down here in the the world situation.
(MP3) The Saturn Return: America’s Growing Pains
This lecture discusses the Saturn Return, the transit where we reap what we have sown during the preceding 30-year cycle. The USA’s Saturn Return is an aspect of its current identity crisis under the Cardinal Cross.
(MP3) Uranus Squared: Revolution goes Hi-Tech (originally posted at the Vernal Equinox 2011)
With popular revolts erupting in the Middle East and North Africa, the Longest Arm of the Cross is making itself known. The uprising in Egypt can be seen as a template for a new kind of people power: the melding of political revolution and revolutionary technology.
(MP3)The Secret of the Winter Solstice
This lecture explores the seasonal significance of the Solstice as a great miracle of Light emerging from the Darkness. Jessica explains how spiritual seekers can creatively utilize unconscious imagery around the dark and the light, and how doing so allows us to reap the spiritual benefits of this, and other, sacred portals.
(MP3)The Longest Arm of the Cross: the Uranus-Pluto Square:
This lecture describes in detail the single most important astrological aspect coloring the years ahead: the square between Uranus (revolution) and Pluto (breakdown and renewal).
(Mp3) Halloween and the Dark Mysteries
In this discussion of the esoteric and spiritual meaning behind Halloween, Jessica examines the historical changes the holiday has undergone. She discusses how Halloween’s meaning has been subverted into a showcase for our collective neuroses about death, sexuality and the occult mysteries. She makes the case for the reclamation of Halloween as a mystical sabbat: a ritual of extraordinary power.
(MP3) Money and Power
This lecture, originally from March 2005, discusses abundance and scarcity in metaphysical terms. Jessica discusses this ambivalent and highly charged topic in terms of the fear, anxiety and magical thinking that surrounds it, and proposes that its cultural connotations have seduced us into giving away our power. By understanding its symbolism astrologically, we can get that power back.
(MP3) Trickling Down into the Mainstream: The Cardinal Cross Establishes Itself (originally posted at the Autumnal Equinox 2010)
Lies are exposed and well-kept secrets are revealed. During the years surrounding 2012, whenever Pluto stations, the tension of its square with Uranus is exacerbated. If the station occurs when the Sun is at one of the Cardinal points, as in mid-September 2010, the energy is that much more stronger.
(MP3) Gun-Toting Yahoo or Martial Artist: Mars and the Cardinal Cross(originally posted at the August New Moon, 2010)
When we see Mars involved in the ongoing Cardinal patterns, we need to be especially mindful. Our challenge is to turn aggression into courage.
(MP3) Redefining Normalcy: Years of Creative Disruption (originally posted at the Full Moon in July 2010)
The transits at the Full Moon in the summer of 2010 were overflowing with heads-ups about what to do, and what not to do, during these years of transformative change.
(MP3) Peak Oil, Systems Collapse and Mother Love: Lessons of the Cardinal Cross (originally posted at the summer solstice Eclipse in June, 2010)
The summer solstice of 2010 introduced the riff of critical years between 2010 and 2020. Its patterns can be seen as a holographic prototype: a map that shows us the way forward.
(MP3) America’s Money Karma
Jessica’s lecture at the 2010 International Astrology Day Conference discusses the chart of the USA, which features Pluto, the planet of obsession, in the house of money.
