Hermetic Astrology
 

 

Welcome to Hermetic Astrology

What is Hermetic Astrology?
We invented this term to marry the hermetic/maiutic process with astrology. Readings are like births, with the astrologer being the midwife to draw out the soul of the native: An imaginal approach where myth, metaphor and story are honored.

The Hermetic tradition takes its name from Hermes Trismegistus as you probably know and this harkens back to the Egyptian Thoth, the person and divinity. In my master's thesis at California State Univ. Sonoma entitled HERMES: LOGOS OF PSYCHE, which was written for a degree in archetypal psychology,
I show the connections back in this direction (considered by scholars to be based on a false assumption) and through the Greek Hermes and
Roman Mercury up to the hermeneutics of Martin Heidegger. You probably know that the myths of Hermes are very rich and suggestive of trickery, seduction, midwifery (his mother Maia where Socrates gets his maiutic method), trade, delivering the messages, etc., etc. The overall mode of Psyche-logical interpretation (related also to phenomenology) that gives value to multiperspectives is home for Hermes. Astrology, for many reasons is an hermetic art and with alchemy were ruled by Hermes to the extent that they are seen as coyote story and magical (in the sense of magus/imagery). If you are interested in this approach, see our book, CONSCIOUS CONCEPTION: ELEMENTAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE LABYRINTH OF SEXUALITY, where we present more on this connection and the relations to the deep ecology of human fertility.
