On the Soul's Terms

Podcast Announcement | A New Structure | The Fisher King Re-Visited


Listen Later

A few weeks ago Saturn moved into Pisces and I felt a subtle nudge to change the structure of the show. You see, Pisces is the waters of the soul, the big oceanic world where two fish swim in opposite directions connected by an umbilical cord. In the ocean there are so many stories, endlessly swirling around taking us from one place to another, but never washing us up on the islands of certainty.

Pisces points to the sirens, singing their sweet lullabies so that the weary sailor might follow their sounds and be pulled into the deep waters. Odysseus had his men tie him to the mast so that he wouldn’t follow their call. Jason and the Argonauts had a better idea - they brought the demi-god of music, Orpheus along. As they sailed through the waters where the sirens sang, Orpheus played his own sweet music to keep the attention of the crew. Stay with his music and you won’t be drawn into those murky places. 


It’s been a great adventure, to swim with the mermaids and leave the safety of the vessel behind. Makes me wonder what the Greeks were so worried about! But at the same time, with Saturn now in Pisces for the next few years, I feel it’s time to create a new container for the magic, much as Parcival, in his journey, realises he needs to find the holy grail if he’s going to heal the wounded Fisher King. 

So here is my new container:

Over the course of the next year the podcast will be exploring each sign of the Zodiac, beginning with Aries this month. In the exploration I’ll be pulling from the world of Astrology as well as colouring each sign in with the wisdom of the old myths. To add to this, I’ll be playing around a little more with sound - bringing in music to help us further attune to each sign as we go. 

Each month I’ll still be bringing you one interview with a unique thinker in their field. The subject matter will be wide and varied, but the guest of choice will have strong signatures of the sign we are working with that month. As an example, this month I’ll be talking with the Astrologer Rick Levine. Our conversation covers a mind-bending amount of space and time including Pythagoras, Kepler, Metaphysics, musical theory and astrological shirts and sweaters. In the background we will get a feel of what life as an Aries might be like from Rick himself, who has a stellium of personal planets in that sign. 

At the end of the wheel, as we approach the March equinox next year, the project and the podcast will draw to a close. Saturn asks us to set limits, and that’s the limit that feels good to me. Another 24 episodes of this labour of love. And then leaving them out here in the ether for people to enjoy when they wish. 

For those wanting to go deeper into this mythic, poetic style of exploring Astrology, I’m working on a foundation course in the background and will launch that later this year, as well as short courses designed to help us deepen and widen our love of the beauty of this sacred craft. 

And so away we go, into the final chapter of the podcast. Thank you to all the Patrons who have supported me on the journey. If you’d like to join in the Patron Party go to Patreon.
