The Ages of Man
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.
Thus begins the character Jaque’s speech in Shakespeare’s famous play, As You Like It where he goes on to describe the different stages of human life from infancy to old age. The Seven Ages of Man, as they are known, was commonplace knowledge in Shakespeare’s day ....

All of these unconscious images, he believed, had a direct and meaningful relationship to man’s physical and emotional wellbeing....

Mars and Myth: A Case for Old Rulerships
The Australis ‘97 Congress theme, “An Ancient Art in a Modern World” was designed to incorporate two themes : those of medieval and mythical astrology. These two streams, although superficially so different from one another, form the cornerstones of our modern astrology. Both contain the wisdom of Antiquity, and in truth, we could not operate effectively in astrology today without either. Medieval astrology gave us the order of the twelve signs, the house systems, the essential dignitaries, and all the technical equipment found in an astrologer’s kit-bag, whilst mythology provided a psychological blueprint by which we identify archetypes in order to understand ourselves and those around us....
