Jungs concept of the shadow has much in common with the astrological meaning of Pluto As lord of the underworld Pluto is naturally associated with things dark and shadowy When Pluto forms a hard aspect to another planet that planets functions tend to be split into opposite halves and mixed with the woundedhealer archetype The dark projected side appears to be wounded while the light inflated side feels imbued with healing potential Because a split archetype tries persistently to return to its original integrity the individual becomes obsessed with transforming or destroying whatever has been projected Yet if wholeness is to be restored such planets require healing from the inside In so doing extremism is mitigated and buried potentials recovered In this book five different manifestations of the shadow are explored Chapter One examines astrologers vulnerability to inflation and delusions of omniscience Chapter Two provides an astrological case history of Dr Laura Schlessinger the infamous talk show shrink who may embody the dark side of the helping professions In myth and cinema perhaps there is no better example of the shadow than Darth Vader whose fall and ultimate redemption is dramatically illustrated in the chart of George Lucas our subject of Chapter Three Chapter Four analyzes another shadowy figure of cinematic magic King Kong a uniquely 20th century version of the Pluto and Persephone myth Finally we explore the SaturnPluto opposition of 20012002 which strikingly illustrates the collective dimension of the shadow as manifest in the war on terrorism that reached a crescendo during this period

Discover information, advice, and prices for Naming the Gods Cy Twombly, priced at 57.47 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Naming the Gods Cy Twomblys Passionate Poiesis concerns itself with the contemporary art work of Cy Twombly as seen against the deep background of classical Greek mythology In particular the two entwined figures and images of Orpheus lyre player lover and journeyer to the underworld and DionysosBacchus god of wine ecstasy and madness are taken up as the two principal thematic leitmotifs which animate and overarchingly inform Twomblys entire artistic oeuvre across all the mediums in which he worked both literally and symbolically from the early 1950s until the last series of brilliantly colored paintings he made just before his death in 2011 His preoccupations with the rhythms of language poetry and writing on the one hand and his tendencies towards wildly expressive gestural abstraction on the other ultimately combine in his creation of a genuinely new and original performative aesthetic which unites and connects the powerful impulses of markmaking painting and assembling with the basic human needs for individuation realization and redemptionIn a long and rich tradition of sublime poiesis spanning ancient Greek tragedy through Romanticism the poets Friedrich Hölderlin and Rainer Maria Rilke and into our own fragmented and imperiled postmodernist times Twomblys artistic corpus is viewed as providing a radically renovative relationship and practice for honoring working with and valorizing both psyche and matter the inner and outer worlds as well as with delimiting a uniquely germinative and seminal space for the further enactment of creative human doing making producing and being in reciprocal and intimate relationship with the otherness of things nature and the environment
