What if astrology doesn’t just describe fate, but the soul’s freedom?
This talk, originally presented virtually for NCGR North Star, explores the ancient predictive technique of Zodiacal Releasing, and its mysterious turning point known as the Loosing of the Bond. The talk illuminates previously unexplored links between these techniques and the Orphic mysteries, specifically Orphic ideas about the immortal soul.
The talk begins with an accessible yet rich introduction to Zodiacal Releasing and a vivid chart example. Then, the talk explores potential roots of the Loosing of the Bond method in Orphic ideas about the soul journey in the afterlife.
The talk concludes with two final chart examples that demonstrate the Loosing of the Bond — one from the Lot of Fortune & one from the Lot of Spirit. We see how these moments punctuate the soul journey in extremely vivid ways, as we “do actions fit for the gods” (Valens).
