Derek’s Newsletter – March 2021
HELLO! And a very warm welcome to all my readers dotted all over the planet. This is a month of endings & beginnings, both personal & collective, as the old cycle gets completed and a new cycle of expression gets initiated. How are you doing? One foot in each….or?
As you know from previous Newsletters, I like to place the focus upon working with the deeper significance of the energies available during each month. So the first part of my Newsletter will address some of the themes of the zodiacal signs Pisces & Aries, followed by a list of current events that I wish to draw your attention towards.
As we enter 1st. March the transit Sun occupies 11-degrees of PISCES and by the 20th. of this month the Sun enters ARIES and the celebration of the SPRING EQUINOX. By the end of March the transit Sun has reached 11-degrees Aries. So during this month we shall experience the contrast between the Waters of Pisces and the Fires of Aries.
And what could that mean for you personally and for us collectively? That is the primary focus for this Newsletter.
There is a lot of healing involved with the sign of Pisces and then we have the image of the Warrior Knight of Aries – and it is this combination that provides the guidelines for this month’s Newsletter.
We have the 12th. Zodiac sign of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, concerned with finishing-up old unfinished business, and the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries, the shock of new Creation. It’s an interesting month which culminates with the FESTIVAL OF PROMISE, our celebration of the SPRING EQUINOX on 20th. March this year, as the transit Sun into Aries. The whole of Nature is concerned with the vibrancy of reawakening life after the Winter sleep – and the excitement of the Quest for this fulfilment surges up within the Seeker. A glimpse of future possibilities is seen. In our Western world we celebrate this as the great vision of hope of redemption and fulfillment with the pageant of Easter and the glory of Resurrection and the Risen Christ triumphant over the challenges of life.
Vaccination
America has now access to 3 vaccinations produced by three pharmaceutical giants and Great Britain has achieved considerable progress in the vaccination of the entire population. I am well aware that this highly provocative subject produces both strong “for-&-against” supporters. Let’s try to look at this subject in a non-emotional way.
We are still travelling through the sign of Pisces until 20 March and the modern ruler of this sign, Neptune, has been identified as “the Saviour”. It is also the Lord of the Oceans, and this includes the liquid of vaccination. Any virus is an invisible shape-shifter and constantly mutates and this too is a major characteristic of the planet Neptune, who also represents the invisible guardian of our physical body, working through our immunity & lymphatic systems.
What is the esoteric viewpoint about vaccination and does it affect our subtler bodies?
Our human bodies are the recipient of such a vast amount of substances that this is part of the paradox, and can wonder sometimes at the remarkable assimilative powers of the human frame. The effect of vaccination upon the subtler bodies is practically zero and the science of inoculation is purely physical in origin and concerns only the animal body of man, technically called the astral body. The science of prevention (prevention better than cure) is the precipitation on Earth of certain modes of procedure on the etheric plane, whereby forces are correctly used and certain destructive agencies are controlled & prevented from going the destructive way. So yes, vaccination works upon the physical level, yet this science will be eventually superseded by a higher technique – and what that could mean is connected with raising our relationship to the vibration of the Neptunian archetype. Two examples to ponder over: transmission of distant healing energies via the etheric and visualization techniques.
And so the modern Holy Grail of the medical industry is exclusively focussed upon the manufacture of the Covid-19 vaccination, as the international pharmaceutical giant Cooperations are smiling all the way to the bank.
Working with Neptune – ruler of Pisces
Often people coming to a consultation will describe their confusion and uncertainty about their life direction, their relationships, and their future. As a working astrologer for many years, I will engage in a dialogue with the client about their “confusion”, which often is equated with strong Neptunian transits. Here is a list of the questions I put before the client.
Describe the nature of your confusion, how you experience it and what areas of your life it influences. What is the major problem which you seem unable to resolve because of your confusion?
Is this the real problem – and if not, what is? What does preoccupation with this problem keep you from facing? What if you weren’t confused?
How do you keep yourself confused? What messages do you give yourself which keep you confused?
What are you avoiding? What do you know but won’t fully admit to yourself? What do you fear discovering about yourself or others?
What would happen if you saw the way out of your dilemma? If you had the answer, what would it be? What would you have to face then?
What unconscious assumptions are influencing you and blocking you in your area of confusion? What do you take for granted which you may need to reassess? What will it take for you to relinquish your unrealistic expectations?
What do you really want? Do you REALLY want what you think you want? What do you REALLY WANT?
What is it about your existing situation that keeps you stuck to it or attached to it? What are you getting out of staying confused or being immobile? Do you really ant to make a change – or would you rather hold onto the advantages of your present situation? How might you maintain some advantages and still move forward?
What feelings are you not acknowledging or expressing? What unshed tears have evaporated to form clouds of confusion? How might you safely feel and release blocked feelings in order to recover the clarity you have lost?
What is truly ESSENTIAL in your life, and how might you simplify your life in order to live closer to your essential nature?
Where is the clarity? What areas of your life are meaningful and fulfilling now? What might you experience if you turned your attention away from the confusion and focussed more on areas of clarity & fulfilment?
What messages do you need to give yourself in order to transcend your confusion and increase your clarity, your inspiration and trust?
Neptune has been declared the foggy edge of reality. As an archetype it deals with delusion, denial, drugs, dreams, idealized visions, and imagery. It also deals with the collective with regard to “the masses”. It is fascinating to contemplate the occult significance of the fact that the planet Neptune forms the most perfect circle around the Sun, the most balanced of all the planets in their orbit around the center of our Solar System. Alternatively, Neptune represents the visions we are capable of – as well as compassion and our direct connection to spirit. Neptune shows our attunement to the inner and invisible worlds.
When working with Neptune energies, there is often an issue with the struggle to maintain appropriate boundaries. And our modern cultures have major boundary issues with regard to truth or lies. The real issue is our relationship to “spirit” and also our relationship to truth and lies. The way we survive in the Western world these days is by denial.
I have contemplated this theme of “denial” and its many manifestations in today’s world, yet for today’s Newsletter, I wish to draw your attention to the 7 Chakras.
The Demons of the Chakras
7. CROWN CHAKRA: ATTACHMENT
6. BROW CHAKRA: ILLUSION
5. THROAT CHAKRA: LIES
4. HEART CHAKRA: GRIEF
3. SOLAR PLEXUS: SHAME
2. SACRAL CHAKRA: GUILT
ROOT CHAKRA: FEAR
At our SOLAR PLEXUS center, we can see how SHAME will undermine our self-esteem and personal power. At the HEART center, GRIEF results from hurts or wounds to the heart. And at the THROAT center it is the demon of LIES that twist our relationship to the outside world with distorted information. In our modern age this has become the challenge to discriminate between what is “Fake News” and what is real.
The Vishuddhi Chakra or THROAT Center is known as the “nectar and poison center”. In Eastern terminology the nectar is transcendental fluid, the “Dew of Heaven”. As long as this energy center remains inactive, this fluid runs downward unimpeded, to be consumed in the fire of Manipura, the Solar Plexus Chakra, resulting in the process of decay, degeneration and finally death in the body’s tissues. When the Throat center is awakened, the divine fluid is retained and utilized, becoming the nectar of immortality. The secret of youth and regeneration of the body lies in the awakening of this Throat Chakra. Yet it also is the key to psychological regeneration.
Traffic or energy flows from the Head through the Throat and traffic likewise flows from the Heart through the Throat. That tells us that the Throat is the dynamic bridge between the Head & the Heart – yet if we are intent to distort information, deliberately give out incorrect signals, then the throat chakra becomes blocked & wounded. And when we are fearful, due to some perceived threat to our basic security, symbolized by the Root chakra, then we all know how fear affects our throat, our speech and projection of ourselves out into the world. And it also affects what speech we use, the choice of words we employ to connect to the world around us. Just consider the enormous significance on a global scale that police brutality to a black man in USA last year – “I can’t breathe…”, resulted in the “Black Lives Matter” movement internationally. The entire world’s attention was directed to the throat center and issues of fear and separation, with the focus upon racial discrimination.
At this point, it could be valuable to read the famous SERENITY PRAYER:
“GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS
I CANNOT CHANGE,
THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN,
AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.”
The Holy Grail & The Wounded King
Humanity has stored it’s wisdom in myth, legend and story. The story of the Holy Grail is perhaps the single greatest healing story of all, and by working with it in a deeply personal way, we can open ourselves to its many levels. In this story we come across the mysterious Wounded King who possesses a terrible wound that will not heal until a certain set of circumstances exist. Among these is a coming of a “foolish” person who will ask a particular question, setting into motion a chain reaction which results in healing of both King and Land. Now this Wounded King is representative of everyone who is wounded and who has lost, or forgotten the ability to restore him/herself to health. We live today in a world where people get easily wounded, carry their wounds, nurse their wounds and ultimately project this upon others. The myth of the Wounded King is a symbol that he is not whole and that the masculine principle is severed from his feeling-function and instinctual nature, so he is sterile. In the Grail legends, the only time that the Fisher King feels any relief from his wound is when he is fishing. Note the obvious connection to Pisces, sign of the two fishes. In other words, only when the King is engaged in the work of making the unconscious conscious, bringing light to the dark places – only then does he feel some relief. The journey is an initiation into emotional truths which have been denied or suppressed.
In the Western Mystery Traditions we have the story of the 3 Wounds to the Fisher King (Pisces) or Grail Keeper. Joseph of Arimathea, the uncle of Jesus, is traditionally the Keeper of The Holy Grail Cup, which contained the Blood of the Christ. He receives a mysterious wound in the thigh region caused by a spear. The result is that the Grail King is hereafter known as THE WOUNDED KING, the country becomes barren and is called THE WASTELAND. This state of affairs can only be healed when a Knight of The Round Table i.e. an Initiate, comes to the Grail Castle and asks the Grail King how he may help. This is of course the wonderful story of Parsifal (Pierce-the Veil) or the Christianized version, who is Galahad.
The Grail is one of the most beautiful and complex of legendary symbols. The two main symbols are that of the Grail itself and that of The Quest. The Quest for the Holy Grail is a journey towards Self and rediscovery. It starts with the Wasteland & the Wounded King that only the Grail Cup of Healing & Transformation can cure. In a deeper sense, this Waste Land is within us all – it is that barren place where imagination, love & charity have ceased to function.
It is an image of the world in which we live – it is a scar on the Soul caused by some self-inflicted wound or brought about through someone we love – where nothing will grow thereafter. It is the barren world where possessions are all and love has died. It is a place we all know and have all visited.
Yet the Grail exists at its heart, and therein lies the paradox with which each & everyone who sets forth on the Quest, filled with high ideals, has to come to terms. For it is necessary and indeed essential that we pass through the Waste Lands and see them clearly for what they are – for the potential which lies within them. It is because our cultures are so outward-directed that the only place we know to look for what is missing in our lives is “out there”. But in the Grail Quest, which is really like a treasure hunt, it was the asking of the question that caused the waters to flow again and restored health and fertility to the Wasteland. Until we can begin to identify and heal our own fragmentation, as well as nourish what is life-supporting in us, then we cannot help heal the outer world or Wasteland.
The Grail is here, it is now, and it is often hidden behind a surface of surprising ugliness. So a great part of the task for any Grail Seeker is to look within at the reality behind the world of surface appearances – and to bring that reality out into the open, where it may be seen and shared by all.
Two of the wounds to The Grail King were shown to us in the Bible. The Heart Wound is represented by the spear that pierced the side of Jesus on the Cross, traditionally known as the Lance of Longinus. And when John the Baptist is beheaded – the throat wound.
The third wound to the groin or thigh region, was originally a pagan theme associated with sacrificial kings and heroes. Grail legends can clearly be traced to Celtic pagan themes, and the legend of the Fisher King, and the wounding of King Arthur are the best known examples from Medieval literature. It seems likely, though unproven in a historical sense, that the Grail texts represented an intentional preservation of material that was outside the accepted range of orthodox Christianity. The Wounded One awaiting regeneration, was first a pagan theme and then was broadly linked to the sacrificed Christ figure. Many people have been exposed to this figure from Wagner’s opera Parzifal, where this Wounded King is called the Fisher King.
In Freemasonry, the 1st. Degree is about loving your fellowman, so if you don’t keep the oath of love and you don’t love very well, then you are a fearful person. And a person with fear lacks love – love casts out all fear. It is often said that fear is the most terrible of all the adversaries we must face. This is the Sword Wound to the Throat.
Did you know that listening develops the aura, as it expands it out. The throat center is connected to the ears and the sense of hearing. People who don’t listen are self-centred and get locked in their own prison. The throat as it listens, allows the development of understanding. The glaring example of ex-President Donald Trump and his complete failure to listen and with compassion relate to various social injustices, in addition to his Administration’s handling of the health crises of Covid-19 sweeping the American nation should stand out as a lesson for all.
The Spear Wound to the Heart is symbolized by the 2nd. Initiation and deals with Understanding. The Heart is the centre of our intelligence. If we have no understanding we have heart wounds – heart pains that show our lack of understanding about something. The Master Jesus showed the Grail King the Way when upon being crucified his last words were: “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” We could also remember disciple Peter’s denial of his Master.
The third wound is the unhealing wound in the thigh or genitals which becomes the ultimate cause of the wasting of the lands – a condition which can only be remedied by the coming of the destined Grail champion, who will bring about the healing of both the King and the Land.
As the thigh region or sacral center is the powerhouse for our body, providing the power of locomotion, movement and the power to create, we need to use our inner eyes to recognize what this truly means. Yes, perhaps not more outer movement but more inner movement. And yes, perhaps we are moving in the wrong direction. Let’s also consider the theme of potency and the alarming revelation that the sperm seed count in an increasing rising number of European men is falling fast. The sacral energy center is not only about the obvious reproduction of our species, but the power to introduce new forms and patterns for creative living. This is the wound the Grail King suffers until all those under his care can move into higher consciousness.
We see this wound in the business world & the world of politics so obviously, the power to build empires and the generation of money but not as an act of service and community sharing of energies, but primarily for selfish interests. The world of the big pharmaceutical industries and their promotion of pills for every kind of human ailment provides another example of fostering fear to gain profit.
The 3 Wounds of the Grail King are connected with the symbols & Mysteries of what is known as the 1st, the 2nd. and the 3rd. Initiations and are ultimately concerned with the mystery of Oneness. The symbol of the Grail is probably one of the greatest symbols of Healing ever devised by the human mind. The words “Quest” and “Question” are clearly related and in the story the mystery at the heart of the Quest is the Question: “Whom does the Grail serve?”
And the answer is ALL BEINGS.
Mars & Anger
In the works of Alice Bailey, the 24 “Blue Books” which provide a major cornerstone to the new Aquarian sciences for a New Age, she points out that both the planet MARS and NEPTUNE strive for control over the Solar Plexus center, our center for personal power. In the first part of this Newsletter we have addressed how to work with our Neptunian confusion and raise our frequency, so now let us place our attention upon a typical Mars quality – aggression leading to ANGER. Why should this Newsletter single out this particular quality of Mars? Look around and see the wounding and anger issues that dominate contemporary life.
The energy of Pisces/Neptune can often produce problems around appropriate boundaries, for this is a water sign and the urge to merge with others is strong.
So in contrast the next sign Aries, governed by the fiery red planet Mars, is the archetype of ego action that separates oneself from others & the collective, the manifestation of strong survival instincts which promotes the pursuit of self-expression and individualism.
Mars and the sign Aries is traditionally associated with the colour Red, the colour of the life-force, the blood which flows through our veins. In a recent survey of the world’s flags, researchers looked at the colours by total area of 196 countries and it was a clear statement – 31% of the world’s flags have Red as the dominant colour. Red was therefore identified as the world’s most patriotic colour. Next in line was Blue at 21%, White at 18%, Green at 15%, Yellow at 10% and Black at 5% of the total surface areas of the world’s flags. Red can excite people to do all kinds of weird and wonderful things.
As a psychotherapist, I discovered early on that one important thing we have to learn in order to experience inner peace is how to deal with our own personal anger. This human emotion is often denied, misunderstood and misused. The following is what I have learned about dealing with anger.
WHAT IS ANGER?
Anger is a normal, health human emotion. Whenever you are experiencing anger, you are also feeling fearful, hurt and/or powerless. Therefore, when you deal with your anger you will also need to deal with all the underlying emotions.
Psychologists who have studied aggression/anger inform us that it is often a learned behaviour and that the key factor in producing aggression is frustration, especially of basic needs or drives.
Is aggression or anger a sickness to be cured and eliminated? Far from it. In our cultures, anger is considered dangerous, uncivilized, shameful and an emotion that we must hide. Anger is only a secondary expression of a natural energy when it is not allowed to proceed directly towards its goal. A conflict arises between two people whenever one challenges a weakness in the other’s sense of ego identity. Many factors can distort and exaggerate aggression/anger and even transform it into violence: personal isolation and lack of communication, the absence of love, overcrowding or scarcity of resources, repression, negative environmental models, improper nutrition and so on. Effective systematic action on these problems would alleviate many of the negative results of aggression.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS ANGER OR AGGRESSION IN YOUR LIFE?
You may think you are not an angry or aggressive type of person, but if you are prone to any of the attitudes listed here, then you are very likely masking it. Aggression shows through:
Cold, silent hatred
Criticalness, hostility
Self-destructiveness
Sarcasm
Irritation, quarrelsomeness, bitchiness
Grumbling
Brooding, sulkiness
Resentment, bitterness
Frustration
Vengefulness, spite
Sneering
Aggressive fantasies
Is anger a good (positive) or bad (negative) emotion?
Anger is one of many emotions. Emotions are not good or bad, positive or negative. They are feelings that have to be expressed. Each person has the choice of dealing with anger in a positive or negative way i.e. constructive or destructive. I find that often anger means that a person is being honest about what they are feeling. The opposite is often the case when people try to hide what they really feel. An angry person is expressing themselves in the present moment, and not pushing it into the future, wanting to deal with it in a future time. They are focussed upon the “now”, and handled correctly, this can lead towards increased honesty and therefore authenticity.
How do people express anger in a negative way?
Some people act out their anger in what is called “Active Aggression”. And others act it out in “Passive Aggression”. And some people alternate between active & passive aggression. Active aggressors may shout, curse or even physically attack a person or thing. They do this to control and manipulate the situation to their advantage. Examples of this would be: hitting, rape, murder, starting fires and defacing property. Passive Aggressors may quietly withdraw, be late, be sarcastic, procrastinate, forget important dates, verbally attack with a softy voice & a smile, or overeat.
Does physical activity help release anger?
Physical activity helps relieve some of the angry energy that results from angry feelings – but it does not resolve the anger. Therefore, the angry feelings still present will create more angry energy, and you have to keep running faster or hitting the ball harder to keep from exploding.
Where in your body do you feel anger?
Most people feel anger in the form of tension or pain in their forehead, jaws, cheeks, temples, arms, hands, center of the back of the neck, and the back itself, especially the shoulder blades and the lower back.
There are specific physiological changes associated with anger. We have what is known as the “fight-or-flight” response in the body. First there is an increase in the pulse rate & blood pressure – then there is an increase in the peripheral circulation of the blood. The blood is sent out to the external organs, flowing out into your arms & hands, into your extremities. You are then ready to hit and kick things. The next thing is a rise in blood glucose or sugar, followed by your rate of breathing is accelerated. Your muscles contract. Energy comes to your legs and arms, then hardens and contracts. Another thing that happens in animals and sometimes in humans, is that your hair stands on edge. And there is often a baring of the teeth and the emission of involuntary noises. These are some of the changes that take place when your body is mobilised into an angry response or when your body is prepared for action.
THIS IS THE PHYSIOLOGY OF AN AROUSED MARS
Anger originates in a part of the brain which is called the hypothalamus, a small area at the base of the brain, which coordinates emotional responses such as anger. When it is stimulated, all the signs of anger & rage can be seen in your body. Now the hypothalamus is actually under the inhibitory control of another part of the brain known as the cerebral cortex. When this interprets something as threatening, it will release it’s inhibitory control and notify the hypothalamus to get going. Human beings have a very highly developed cerebral cortex and because of this, we can examine a situation and decide on some way of dealing with it rather than just getting angry. Animals don’t have much choice, but we humans can examine a situation and consider whether it’s worth getting angry, or if it’s atall appropriate to respond in that way. The cerebral cortex enables us to be reasonable, just & fair, but often at the expense of a more basic, instinctive and primitive response.
What are some of the physical problems or illnesses that may result from suppressed anger?
Some physical problems that may indicate anger is present are: headaches, jaw. Gum and teeth problems (from grinding the teeth); arthritis in the fingers or hands; back problems; stroke or heart problems; high blood pressure; constipation and extreme tiredness.
We should also note that depression is anger turned inward. When you release your anger in a constructive way, your depression can also get released. Depression is often sitting on power that you are not using.
In the book, “A Course in Miracles”, the authors show that there are only two emotions: LOVE & FEAR. Aggression, resentment, separation & guilt are all guises adopted by fear. Joy, forgiveness and peace of mind are all aspects of Love. The “miracles” which the book teaches are the shifts in perception which enable us to view the world through the eyes of love, rather than through the eyes of fear.
Why do most people deny or resist accepting their angry feelings?
Most people block their anger because they are afraid that if they get angry they will:
Hurt someone or themselves
Be hurt by someone else
Be out of control or crazy
Be wasting their time (“I don’t accomplish anything, so why bother?”)
Be bad or not O.K.
Be unlady like
Be rejected
Be like their parent and they hated when their parent got angry
Be too powerful
Be giving their power to the other person (“The other person will know they won, or got to me.”)
How can I deal with my anger in a positive way?
You can deal with your anger in a constructive way by first acknowledging it. When by yourself or with someone you trust, angrily7yell and hit a soft pillow until your anger is released. After that, get in touch with an underlying feeling which may be fear, hurt or powerlessness. After you have owned and expressed all your feelings then make an Affirmation, for example:
If you are angry when ”…Name of person……”, comes home late, then release your angry feelings into a pillow.
Then say to yourself, “When you are late, I am scared that I am unimportant.”
Affirmation: “I AM beginning to believe that I AM important.”
Now, if you are feeling calm because you understand all your feelings and have released them, decide if you need or want to talk to the person about the issue of coming late, in person, by letter, or by phone.
Finally, compliment yourself for dealing with your anger in a healthy, positive and constructive way. Reward yourself – you deserve it!
The transformation of aggressive energy is our task, to master the Laws of this process rather than letting it happen only by chance. It is useful, therefore, to take a look at how creative people of all times have used aggression.
As EMERSON put it: “Good indignation brings out all of one’s power.” And when asked what the motivating factor behind her immensely productive work in hospitals, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE answered with two words: “Anger & Rage!” The propelling agent behind much of the creative work of the two geniuses, MICHELANGELO & BEETHOVEN, was the aggressive energy in the wildest sense of that word – a spectrum of psychological hues from rage to vigor to the creative urge. These two great artists succeeded to an unusually high degree in expressing their struggles and their inner power through their creative work.
So Mars, like any archetype, can be raised & elevated to higher expression or distorted & lowered to a more primitive expression – and that choice is ours.
Mars represents the SPIRITUAL WARRIOR, and as the God of War, he makes war on the small ego-driven personality, constantly challenging us to master the conditions that the Lords of Karma send us. There is no question that the energy & archetype of MARS is essential to the spiritually awakened personality.
As we start the month of March, transit Mars will enter the sign of the Twins- GEMINI on 4th. March and remain here until it enters the next sign Cancer on the 23rd. April 2021. That represents about 6 weeks where Mars, the Energiser, will activate the qualities of the Mercury-ruled sign of Gemini.
So if you want to be more active & confident in your communications, promote your ideas, reach out to your network, start or finish that book you have been writing, then this planetary combination will support your endeavours. Be the Spiritual Warrior and let the world know about your thoughts and ideas. Where Mars is placed in the horoscope is where we need to demonstrate courage. We can visualize that in this coming month there will be less “speaking with crooked tongue”, less lies, fake news and verbal manipulation, and more authentic and meaningful communications. We need to say what needs to be said. This is the goal before us in this month that leaves behind the Winter energies and moves us into the new prospects of the Spring. May we truly resurrect into the greater life symbolized through our Easter celebrations.

Derek’s Lesson 3: “Alchemical Healing – Integrating our Male & Female sides”
How do we define our relationship to the energies of “masculinity” and “femininity”? Do we have a clear understanding of what these terms mean?
What role has the first man in our life, our Father, and the first woman in our life, our Mother, played in shaping these concepts?
How can Astrology help us to better understand these DNA psychic inheritances from our parents and how this affects our adult relationships.
What experiences will enable us to enter into a deeper exploration of these qualities? If we need to better externalize ourself, that is a masculine quality. If we wish to be in greater harmony with ourself and others, that is a feminine quality. Derek will be offering many practical examples and insights of how to achieve this based upon more than 40-years teaching & counselling everyday people with everyday problems.
This is Derek’s third Lesson with OMSTARS, with the focus upon the Alchemy of Healing our inner split, stimulating a new relationship to our male & female sides, and consciously moving towards a new wholeness. A very warm welcome to an inspirational Lesson!
