Hi Bradley,
All,
This is a quote of Jeffery from dvd #6. It brought up questions as I work to understand this concept.
“From the New conjunction until Mercury reaches the opposition, Jupiter is applying to Mercury, meaning the right brain is applying to the left brain. As we reach the opposition, Mercury is now beginning its movement toward Jupiter, meaning progressively the Mercury function is going to be applying to the Jupiter function. And at this point of opposition it is in a dynamic state of stress. They are equally balanced, and it correlates to what is called brain switching. There is an imbalance between the right and left brain. It goes back and forth like a ping pong ball.”
So, from my past astrological understanding, the concept of, in this example, Jupiter applying to Mercury in the waxing half and then Mercury applying back to Jupiter in the waning half is a new concept/understanding.
Questions are:
Is this to say, in an example of waxing square, the crisis in action is having the intuitive mind integrate(applying to) the linear mind’s findings?
****************************************************************************
No. Jupiter would be providing to the consciousness a large vision that is possible for the Soul to actualize, and Mercury would then correlate to a crisis in action in terms of all kinds of ideas equalling possibilities of how to actualize that large vision. Thus, what to act upon, and what not.
**************************************************************************
And the waning square “crisis in consciousness” or as Jeffery said “crisis in belief” would we, via applying Mercury back to Jupiter, say that this crisis is about linear mind to applying the use of intuition?
****************************************************************************
The crisis of belief or consciousness here would correlate to the fact that the Soul has already learned a variety of ways to philosophically and intellectually understand it's reality. It has created a great philosophical and intellectual system that has been put together by empirical facts that have been learned over many lifetimes. And it has done so in order to actualize the underlying evolutionary intentions, whatever they have been. The Soul at this evolutionary juncture has now reached a place in it's evolution that those existing intellectual and philosophically ways of understanding it's overall reality are breaking down, and loosing their meaning. Thus, all the exiting ideas, Mercury, that have served as an empirical way of organizing it's reality leading to the Souls philosophical way of understanding life, must now beginning the process of dissolving. This then creates the crisis of belief, or crisis in consciousness.
*****************************************************************************
If this is true for Mercury - Jupiter as a planetary pair, is this understanding of which planet is “applying” to the other relative to phase waxing or waning true in interpretation of all planets in their specific phase relationship?
