Chart Synthesis ✦ Dawn Bodrogi ✦ The Inner Wheel
Updated
By transit and progression, these bodies reveal a ruthless agenda. They are far from benign — they act as elemental forces that cause us to face both the glory and the wretchedness of existence.
Why the Asteroids Matter
Exploring the asteroids’ meaning in the chart is a central part of this course. We cover broader topics including the Matriarchy, the Patriarchy, and the integration of the psyche. Through them, we learn to embrace the wisdom that comes from accepting life in its totality — death, sex, and the fierce spark of creativity.
“The Dark Goddess embodies the energy of Chaos and Creativity, Death and Rebirth… She forces us to embrace both the joy and the horror, the terrible beauty of life… There is no change without her participation.”
— Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson, The Dark Goddess

So wonderful this and to learn of the melusine- have always loved writing the cap and Saturn symbol with a swirling tail and now I understand why – thank you so much for enlightening me
I have been pondering on why Saturn gets such bad press when he is so magical as well as a pain. I started a thread on this on astro.com forum and a friend of yours put me onto you website. Deep knowledge clearly and simply expressed. Thank you very much for this.
