Brighton Astrology Circle would like to invite you to join us on 5 June 2024 for: “Mercury as Psychopomp: Our Guide to the Afterlife?” Virtual Astrology Talk via Zoom.
A Virtual Talk with Alison Boulton
The mythical role of Hermes/Mercury as psychopomp is recorded in The Odyssey and it continues to pervade our consciousness today. Through investigation of the death charts of famous people in relation to their natal charts, this talk explores the nature and role of ‘the guide of souls’ asking whether Mercury does indeed fill this role and whether this can be evidenced through astrology. The tentative conclusion is ‘yes’. In the death chart, Mercury is frequently active by transit or progression. The extraordinary privilege of a conversation with an actual psychopomp offers insights into how this might translate into some kind of reality.
