This video begins a series on how to work with Outer Planet transits. I introduce the main concept or idea about thes transits so that in future videos we are able understand the basis of interpretation. I introduce both Liz Greene's approach of understanding outer planets as symbols of movements and processes in the collective psyche; and Dane Rudhyars ideas about the Outer Planets as galactic energies and processes that move through us rather than move against us. In both theories we see the fundamental idea of our individual selves as being, living and existing as part of greater whole and the notion that outer planet transits reveal through their individual symbolic implications exactly what force, energy dynamic or archetype is at work. This dimension of understanding allows us to think beyond our individual experiences of the psycho-mental sphere to extend ourselves and our comprehension into a much larger frame of reference; one that locates our consciousness and humanness within the process abd dynamics of the of "operative wholness". Understanding this concept, helps to place our individual experiences within a trans-personal context and thus helps us to navigate our way through our own personal complications and difficulties - like Jung's idea of us all partaking of a collective consciousness and unconscious process. adding this dimension to astrology lifts it out of the fated, event orientations of predictive astrology and into a valid form of study that aids a truly transformative Way,
