The First Deadly Sin: Understanding the Astrology of Envy
Liz Greene

From late antiquity, envy has always been considered the most destructive of human errors, and throughout history it has also had astrological associations that are still relevant today. Envy, as distinct from jealousy, has also been the subject of psychoanalytic exploration and the theme of many works of great literature. Yet as a collective we have little understanding of it on individual and social levels, and astrologers often fail to recognise that it is the root of many crises and conflicts in relationships and the choices we make in terms of our future.

This seminar will explore envy in mythic, philosophical, psychological and astrological contexts, in terms of its roots, its corrosive but often covert destructiveness, and its potential creativity as a signature of unrecognised individual values and talents. Students are welcome to bring their own charts on an OHP transparency
