Inside the Cosmic Mind

  Healing the Generations: Family Patterns in the Birth Chart   There are some cultures today in which tribal ancestors are still revered, and back in history this was the general attitude towards family ancestors too. There have been ancient cultures such as the Egyptian that did not only revere their ancestors but made them part of their lives. In their temple tombs, relationships with the dead were maintained on a daily basis so they could always be called on for protection and guidance when needed. Like the spiritualists today who offer séances our ancestors took for granted that the dead live on   and can interact with the living.   So how do they live on – as ghosts? I’ve seen apparitions in my time. They have appeared hovering in the air, cloudy forms with marked facial features and compelling eyes, scary indeed. But I discovered when still young that, if you stare them out, they dissolve back into thin air. One of the ghosts who regularly haunted me was the ghost of a d

  A new review of   Inside the Cosmic Mind; Archetypal Astrology and the New Cosmology  28/3/2001 Linn MacDonald recently found my book and sent me the following appreciative message: I just wanted to let you know how interesting I found this, and how it has pulled together a number of the threads that have preoccupied me, i.e. synchronicity, number, patterns, time, archetypes, astrology. Like Sandra I am indebted enormously to Carl Jung and I am indebted to you also for your part in elaborating all these currently vital ideas.. Thank you! Warm wishes, Linn MacDonald Thank you Linn for expressing your appreciation of my work - very heart-warming!

  Inside the Cosmic Mind: Archetypal Astrology and the New Cosmology  The following is a re-posting of the blurb from the back cover which my publisher wrote. It’s a good introduction to what the book is all about. Inside the Cosmic Mind presents a radical new approach to astrology in the light of the emerging worldview known as archetypal cosmology. In this book Phoebe Wyss explores the roots of this cosmology in the wisdom of the ancient Egyptian mysteries, then follows these ideas to modern times through Jung’s ideas on the nature of the psyche. In doing so she discovers that astrology is entirely compatible with the claims of the new cosmological thinking as envisioned by post-modern physics and chaos theory. She goes on to propose that the mathematical basis of astrology and the components of astrological charts are both psychological and cosmic in their scope. And she argues that the twelve astrological archetypes make up one single cosmic mind whose patterns are imprint

2020, THE YEAR OUR REALITY CHANGED UTTERLY: AN ASTROLOGICAL DIARY Blog 7: 21st-28th April 'Embracing our Inner Demons' 21st April: Sun in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius.  'What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger!' Dark thoughts cast shadows (Saturn) on our sensuous enjoyment (Taurus) of the warm, sunny Spring weather, bringing low morale, lethargy and depression. In the UK the covid death toll remains too high, and politicians warn of a longer lockdown – for those over seventy until the end of the year! Saturn’s grip is tightening globally with borders closing, and strict lockdowns being introduced along with policing and surveillance. We hear of repressive governments (Saturn) using covid as a reason to curtail civil rights (Aquarius) and put democracy on hold. However, on the health front, where Saturn stands for the immune system, he becomes an ally of the Sun (our life energy), crucial for defence against the virus. The anti-bodies (Saturn) created i

2020, The Year our Reality Changed Utterly: An Astrological Diary: Blog 6, 19th April “A great gift of astrology, perhaps its greatest gift, is this: it shows us we are part of something vast and meaningful; that life is not mere random accidents in space and time.” This is from my friend, Scottish astrologer Anne Whitaker, who’s claiming that the cosmos is meaningful in itself, beyond any projections from the human mind. It’s just what I hope this series of blogs will demonstrate. At any moment in time, astrology allows us to step back and watch the ongoing themes arising in the public world and in our personal lives, whose development we can follow and understand in the context of astrology’s bigger cosmic picture. For example events related to the covid epidemic can be put in the context of a meaningful patterning covering a wider reach of time than these days and weeks, and the planets in their ongoing inter-relationships are keys to the developing meaning.

The rate of infections and deaths is still rising in the UK, but experts expect the peak to be reached soon (the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction is not over in a day, but remains for some weeks in or
