Hygeia – the lady of healing and cleansing
presented by Roderick Kidston
The asteroid Hygeia has been kicking around as an available asteroid in software ever since the days of the Nova program, but not many astrologers include her in their charts or consider what value she adds to chart interpretation.
This afternoon we will look at how important this symbol is if we want to understand where the healing power of the horoscope lies – it isn’t only about Chiron! Hygeia is a very significant focus for where there can be energies in need of some kind of healing or cleaning up, or where and how such catalytic processes of transformation can most readily occur. Hygeia isn’t only about some area of the horoscope where there can be signs of illness or other compromised function; much more importantly, she shows where and how we can clean up our lives and make them so much more whole and functional.
About the Speaker
Roderick was an early fan of adding asteroids to the astrologer’s repertoire, and now finds it impossible to read a horoscope without the so-called ‘minor planets’. The study of harmonics has also been a passion, and he is interested in a more integral approach to astrology that links with developments in depth and transpersonal psychology, metaphysics and the new physics. This includes the new insights offered by the spiral dynamics theory of the evolution of consciousness.
Roderick has published on astrology in several places over the years, taught it, given talks and workshops in several cities, and he has spoken at several conferences since 2003, including every FAA conference. He will speak again at the 2014 FAA Conference in Hobart, on the topic of astrology and its role in understanding the ongoing evolution of human consciousness.
