At the Edge of the Abyss

At the Edge of the Abyss:
Life’s Seven Major Passages and Their Call to Transformation

An entry-level, full-day workshop on astrology and the seven archetypal passages

Whether you’re experiencing a transition in your own life or assisting others through their life challenges, this workshop will give you a deeper understanding of how planetary forces influence our lives and how to recognize possibilities during times of difficulty. We will explore the 7 archetypal passages through the lens of astrology and other Western wisdom traditions so you can identify which passage you are currently experiencing and learn new tools, strategies and practices to help you navigate each passage with skill and grace.

Six of the seven passages are associated with a planetary energy. Saturn governs crises involving limits, structure, responsibility and successive seven-year turning points in our lives. Uranus rules our need for freedom, rebellion, and dramatic change. Neptune brings about periods of inspiration, times of “getting lost,” and our quest for direction. Pluto’s passage is about initiation through the darkness of loss, as well as through rebirth. Jupiter expands our horizons and guides the search for our true calling. Venus governs love and all of love’s travails. The seventh passage reconciles all these forces so we can clarify our own authentic path and engage with our true destiny.
