This series covers events from 03/05/1984 - 04/09/1984

This six-session series of classes uses J. Krishnamurti's natal chart to demonstrate Anthony Damiani's approach to astrology as an art concerned with the soul’s purposes rather than an analysis of the personality. The classes analyze Krishnamurti's chart using Marc Edmund Jones's Sabian symbols, with particular focus on septile aspects (51°26', the number of degrees in one-seventh of a circle) as expressions of "embodied truth" and quintiles (72°, the number of degrees in one-fifth of a circle) as "individuating mental processes."

Session 1 establishes the foundation, discussing the Sabian symbols for all the Chaldean planets plus Uranus.

Session 2 analyzes the tri-septile configuration between Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus as "modes of knowing."

Session 3 correlates Krishnamurti's mystical experience of February 8, 1920 with specific transits, including Mars tri-septile Mercury, Uranus bi-septile Neptune, and Pluto conjunct Jupiter.

Session 4 develops septile theory further, distinguishing septiles involving Chaldeans (embodied intellection) from septiles involving trans-Saturnians (cognitive faculties seeing the truth).

Session 5 examines Krishnamurti's Sun-Mars septile, which points to the nature of the Self as the divine source of desire.

Session 6 compares quintiles across the charts of Krishnamurti, Tim Smith, and C. G. Jung. Damiani treats astrological degrees as Platonic Ideas—creative, exemplary paradigms that represent the basic models on which our personality is based. Our life is a living out of these ideas; though most of us deny these higher possibilities within us, some people’s lives exemplify them.
