Jung  the psychologist talks the problem of reconstruction ... 

 My reconstruction of February 1981 went along the zodions and the calender of Sun, Moon, and Sun's Planets in the sky of Earth, being never before in  conscious mind.

Reconstruction, because I was at the end of my left latin, with dialecic materialism and the left temptations of power.

I was done with my left projections and utopic phantasies of politics
 finally my interest turned  to the only item left I could really move: myself. 

My former political attendance was reduced to me  and to the natives of this planet
  mainly of South- and North-America, how they treat one another today ,  deal with nature and the symbols.

A member of the American Indian Movement explained to a German visitor:

" Man was the last, that's why he has to respect all kind of life, caus he came into the world completely ignorant. He had to learn from the animals, plants, and all things, how to survive on mother Earth. Therefore we deem the trees as our brothers, insect, Deer and all being alive is our brother."

My farewell-book from political rationalism was the professional essay of the Structuralist

Claude Levi Strauss, "Sad Tropics", contemplating the demise of the last natural tribes, whose symbolical way of thinking to study and to understand had been the  essence of his life.

From 'modern' thinking natives of North America I had accepted the advise to visitors:

"You can't become Indians ...you have to go and to look at your own ancestors, how they suvived " on this planet how they saw the universe, surrounding them, the silence of nature and the self generated noises.

Whith this attitude I experienced my unexpected encounter with astrology. Like everyone I knew that there were the signs, knew my one, but that was it. Sun, Moon, Planets were for me physical bodies, no gods. And anyway there is only one God ... and him I had forgotten.
But with the 12 signs and 9 planets and Sun and Moon 
I had our unconscious world ruled by his sons and daughters.

And finally, after Indians and Astrology, the third, who attended my reconstruction decisively,  had gone at the risk of his  life as good Swiss citizen and scientist had taken his psychic balance at stake, to get to the bottom of the dream-creating and mania-creating and - eating entity. In an essay dedicated to the archetype of the 3 he arrives at the point, where the ego fears it maybe can't find it's way back to "daylight" from the overwhelming power of the inner pictures. An experience I know from my first adventure with Cannabis.

Broken out clincal schizophrenia had been studied by Jung at the beginning of his career for years but not only studied but - far beyond the ordinary - also treated, where it was posssible. see
 

Referring on that subject Jung about the value of the 3:

"But  the meaning of the latter, appeares in those cases, where the problem of reconstruction arises, namely in those cases, where a dissociation severs the conscious part of the soul from the unconscious one. This separation however can only be suspended, if the consciousness succeedes, to formulate views, which express the contents of the unconsciousness adaequately. It seems, as if the trinity together with the incommensurable  fourth would be such a vision. Being part of the doctrine of salvation it had to have healing whole-making effect. With the integration of unconscious contents into consciousness the e.g. the repatriation of the dream-contents to trivial realities  might be of indubtable importance. In deeper sense and on longer sight this however doesn's meet the weight of the archetypal contents. These namely reach into entirely other depths, than the so called "coomon sense" forebodes. As general condition a priori of the psychic events anyway they demand a dignity, which has found ever since expression in divine statures. Only such a formulation satifies the unconscious spirit. The unconsciousness is the unwritten history of man since time immemorial. The rational formula might  satisfy the today und the immediate past, but doesn't suffice man's experience s a whole. This demands the comprehensive  view of the mythos, namely the symbol. This  lacking , the wholeness of man in not represented in the consciousness. Man then remains a more or less accidental fragment, a suggestible partial-consciousness, extradited  to all utopical phantasies, usurping the empty place of the symbols of wholeness. The Symbol cannot be the first that comes along, like the rationalism likes us to believe. Only that is a legitime symbol, which expresses the unchangable structural relations of the unconsciousness and might therefore gain general approval." (my translation, mundo)

C.G.Jung, Psychologische Deutung des Trinitätsdogmas, G.W. 13, § 280.

Since I studied the astrological view,

the archetypes of the third and the fourth were a given

as elements, signs, houses and rulers

3 = air = Twins =discerning thinking = Mercury
4 = water = Cancer = feeling = Moon

In the symbolisms of the alchemists of the antiquity and the mediaeval times in the east and west Jung found the bridge between the symbols spontaneously created by the inner pictures of the psyche and the descended mythical pictures which the cultures of man have left on the planet. In the 3x4 signs of the zodiac.the structural heritage of the nature-philosophers recurs . This heritage discerns the given elements in nature on three levels:

Spirit

Soul

Elements

And the soul is viewed as 'ligamentum', as connecting tie  between matter and spirit in it's middle appearance of the 4 elements as content of the drained interior = soul-content.

In contemplations like this one I found meaning about the second water-sign Scorpio, connecting us with the soul-heritage and the ancestors. To me it's metaphor the frozen water, making visible as ice the  cristalline structure invisible in floating water/life. The iceberg which sunk the 'Titanic' consisted of the snow-falls of many centuries long passed . And Pluto, ruler of ice stood in the moment of the catastrophy in the (7th) house of encounter connected with the rhythm of Moon = home in the infinity of Neptune, the latterbeing guest in the home = Cancer.

 We now are getting an other view on the ancestors:

So far the symbols of the ancestor's time, slowly dripping, as soul-time into our daily water-supply,

so to speak the living ancestors - cause their due date is different - we are daily taking homöopathically.

The discovery of astrology happened to the chronicler in Munich at the same time with the
dicovery of the woman of his second part of his life still ongoing
 and the unification
with her has  transplanted the Hamburger
unto the stream-system of the Danube towards the Black Sea
away from the stream-system towards and from the western seas

and nearer to the ever felt but never known relatives in the east

On the tracks of his love finally arrived in Murnau
in the upper Bavaria with it's "Russen Haus"
where Vassily Kandinsky with his companion Gebriele Münter
invented abstract painting before WWI.

But now to the 17th week

here in upper Bavaria from an eastern-patriotic

 id est in the west underrated view

maybe with relatives at the Crimea

whereto the move of the Argonautes went

which after all in the arrogant westeners

left some respect in the Jason-myth

For the east however the Crimea is the place

of the baptism of the Russian

more than 1 000 years ago

at the Black Sea

ensued with - homöopathicly viewed

a part of North-Alpine 'informations'

now to the week, what to begin with?

what is lacking if we start with Moon?

surely the epitome of our consciousness

in the sign of the daylight Sun

which outshining everything easily makes forgotten

the lights of the other Sun-family-members
which Moon never 'forgets' while she in her 
Cancer -soft mucose funnel collects all lights
which Jupiter to her in blessed silence
spends put of his quiver of enthusiasm

and also in this week Jupiter turns to the stricter Pluto for divine accord
in the mirrors of the Earth on which life carries the the entire star-family
through the times and Virgo below mirrors Jupiter in Libra above and Twins below
mirror Pluto above.
And in the second week of May it will be Mars in Twins mirroring Pluto and his
readyness for sacrifice.

17. Week 2017

And nowhere else in our daily routine as in the readyness for waiver Pluto resides and nothing more paradoxly harmonizes with Pluto than the marvel of balance with Jupiter on the see-saw of Libra.

And as Pluto moves in Capricorn, this tells where the waiver has to be performed: in the word.

"In the beginning was the word. And the word was with God. And the word was God." John 1.1.

And with Pluto in duo the same Jupiter, the 'son in which lives the measure of the father',  keeping the balance by nexus and waiver within an unstable situation, called Libra has Saturn the father in
well-knotted keep.
And together with the rhythm of the father also that of Venus which rhythmicly in ups and downs has got her last week in Pisces' anonymitas credited until Friday.

Then, but with thin new skin, Venus has again to meet the challenges of the wild land of Aries until
the second week in June. Now extra laundered rising off the Tao on Friday.

It's also the week where with Mercury our senses have moved back under the clear sky uf the hunger-lands called Aries in which man has learned to survive lightyears of daily routine by hunting

and the attending demons again execise the cynicism of the boastful above the concentrations of the herds.

While the hearts of the herds with Sun in Taurus are peaceful minded and the old art of brick laying
is invented anew in any generation inclusive the walling in oneself in unconscious towers for inflated towers.

But back to Mercury and an important addition: Mercury moves (ok, seemingly) back through Aries.

This week back to the common rhythmic axis with Uranus. Mercury shares it with him  on Friday on 25° Aries. The two together, 

I called their symbol "The Hermetical Man"  in the German version,  when it was the first of three meetings on March 28. In the English Version I maybe lacked this special spirit maybe maybe for another one.

Now this meeting is in the resonance of three guiding rhythms of the elements themself.

25° Aries = Pluto of fire since 1603

25° Libra = Pluto of air since 1980

25° Cancer = Sun of earth since 1802

this is a place where we can meet our ancestors in our elementary community and it is a remembrance of the common Pluto - waiver saving us from our borderlessnesses with fire it's a beginning and with air it's a thinking; while with earth it's a material given  appearing as earthly Sun
heart and center.

so sacrifice and the giving of the heart visited by the braingod Mercury and the mangod Uranus
second of three times meeting with the ancestor's love and sacrifices

so big time ancestor-meeting underground of consciousness at weekend with
 the sacrifices of the beginners since 1603,
with the sacrifices of the thinkers since 1980
 and with the  love of the earthly  hearts since 1802
all weekend

how Mercurians will deal with it remains to see, surely they will try to divide the tree into two to become a bridge between them in this Uranus - mankind - matter

and the demonizised mercurians might demonize in ire like learned (demons are never free)

and Mars  and with him ire and impatience has to blindly fall into ... word,  where else his sword speaks.

And Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday this week are dates to migrate for Moon and for family-matters

started with Aries, Wednesday beginning in Taurus and Friday in Twins, mirroring Capricorn and on Sunday Moon starts her return home in Cancer, home in the inward and it is always the less light of Moon, female unconscious knowledge, that less is more, which is making the remainder family-players visible which escapes the 'arrogant' light of the Mercurial intellect
