Oblates of Holy Sophia - Astrology as Transformation

The previous exercise for Sun signs can be done with all of the planetary energies. Playing with concepts like Venetian love interests or Saturnian neurosis can be both enjoyable as well as a useful way of understanding of expression of the planet. Most basic astrology books can provide a helpful list of keywords to get you started. You can expand on this via personal observation. A keyword list that I might use in these transformation exercises, as well as imagery follows (**my disclaimer):
