Welcome to the Quarter of Civilization, all! Mike reminded me today that as the Sun enters into the 2.1 we start a whole new quarter, one which has a whole lotta Throat. (5 Throat gates in Gemini!)

So, as we enter into the new quarter, I have some off the cuff thoughts on yin and how certain philosophers, psychologists, and psychoanalysts seem to touch on the notions of yin and yang from various directions. For instance, Tarnas describing the solar v. the lunar, or Hillman's distinction between spirit v. soul, or Derrida's discussion of privileging one term over another (what could be the yang term in any pair). Then I read from Bergson's Introduction to Metaphysics, and Barry Long's Draconic Transverse which describes yang and yin in peculiar ways.
