Most tarot readers promise to predict your future. Many esoteric services want to be your guide. And the spiritual self-help marketplace is awash in “manifestation” practices that treat the unconscious like a pliable resource. The Soul Figures Method in Astro-Archetypal Meditation does something different: We help you map your inner cosmos and connect you to your own Inner Guide, opening the door to a non-transactional, grounded practice – albeit, one that has some pretty incredible transformative powers.
Our work with tarot and astrology isn’t divination — it’s individuation. Through using these symbolic systems with the Jungian practice of active imagination and a specific, proven, guided process, you meet and integrate the “Soul Figures” of your psyche: the archetypal forces shown in your birth chart and echoed through your dreams, major life stories, and synchronicities. Astro-Archetypal Meditation reframes the esoteric images many of us are already familiar with into an empowering pathway for Self-integration — a creative, personal map for your own “Red Book.”
Symbols are often a more powerful way to work with the unconscious mind than mere affirmations or effortful self-will. In part, this is because these symbols have been aggregated into the collective unconscious and infused with layer upon layer of meaning for millennia. They are charged, resonant, extraordinarily healing, and, lucky for us, malleable in how they express themselves in our lives.
However, when we treat the unconscious like a reservoir to extract value from, we can inadvertently over-empower our will. If the ground hasn’t been prepped correctly beforehand, this can merely lead us to think of ourselves as little gods issuing orders, focused on “asking,” “commanding,” or “manifesting.” Inherent in an over-empowered will is a sense of trying to maintain control over outcomes, and misunderstanding the nature of alchemical work as a process of getting “more in control” of our life, or over life itself.
The Soul Figures Method takes a different approach. From this lens, the unconscious is not a machine or a bank teller dispensing outcomes, and our creative will is not a customer; the unconscious is part of a vast relationship we are already in – one that deepens and improves with investment, care, and attention. Like any worthwhile relationship. Through guided imaginal work, you meet your archetypes as living presences — rather than tools to do your bidding. This method teaches you how to listen, collaborate, and integrate the creative forces within — establishing genuine transformation rooted in inner partnership.
However, there is a lot to say for structure when we approach the vast archetypes of the unconscious creative mind. These archetypal forces are powerful and not to be treated casually. The reverberations that can come from working with them can be transformative and expansive – or unproductive, and even damaging. The method and tone you use to approach them can make all the difference. Using a tested structure and methodology versus just “free-styling” with active imagination ensures a safe, effective experience that integrates rather than fragments.
