Angels & Daimons - Exploring the Daimon in Astrology
Saturday 31 July 2022, 12pm Eastern Time
Nightlight Astrology
“I sit and wait… does an Angel contemplate my Fate?” sings Robbie Williams in his song, “Angels.”
In our modern culture of billions and trillions of email messages, text messages, and instant messages transmitting back and forth across the world from smartphones, tablets, and personal computers, it’s easy to forget the original instant messengers: the angels (from the Greek word “angelos,” meaning: “messenger, one that announces”), known in ancient Greece as daimons. In our modern culture saturated with technology, social media, ultra-high-definition, and everything we need seemingly within grasp or easily delivered, are angels and daimons even relevant? And what do they have to do with astrology?
Influenced by James Hillman’s “The Soul’s Code,” among other sources, this webinar explores angels, daemons, the Roman genius, and the North African genie – all variations on the same theme of the spirit that is born with us, within us, the spirit that remembers our soul’s reasons for being here on earth. How can we approach the natal chart with the daimon in mind? How might we experience transits if we imagine a daimon behind the scenes? We will look at chart examples for glimpses of the daimon within, and we’ll see how angels and daimons and geniuses and genies show up archetypally via the imagination of popular culture in movies, literature, and songs, and how they can enhance our astrological imagination, keeping us in close contact with the soul.
The webinar is free but requires registration.
