Where in the World

Erin Sullivan

Description

Back by popular demand! Here at last is the reprint of the original version of 'Where in the World? Astro*Carto*Graphy and Relocation' which was published by the CPA Press in 1999. It was produced directly from the recordings of the seminars held in London in September and October 1997. This style of format enables the reader to feel part of the lectures, and be able to relate more easily to the questions coming from the audience. An expert both in astrology and in world travel, Erin Sullivan has lived in several cultures and made innumerable relocations in her life. Wherever we go, there we are, but more potent aspects of ourselves emerge in various locations. Using the techniques of A*C*G, this book explains how we experience ourselves in various parts of the world from a person-centred and global perspective. It relates how even a minor relocation can activate unconscious or sleeping characteristics within the self. Erin teaches by example so there are case histories from the audience as well as plentiful charts and maps to illustrate the points raised. Having lived all over the world, Erin has now settled in New Mexico, USA from where she still lectures on this fascinating subject.

Astro*Carto*Graphy
This seminar was given on 28 September, 1997 at Regents College, London, as part of the Autumn Term of the seminar programme of the Centre for Psychological Astrology .
Introduction
Good morning, everyone! Today, I won t be talking about relocation charts specifically, although the psychology and manifestation of relocation are contained within the bigger picture of Astro*Carto*Graphy . It is in next week s seminar that we will talk about relocation - moving from one city to another. When we do actual relocation charts for specific places - and those of you who are coming next week should bring your Astro*Carto*Graphy maps as well as relocation charts - we will focus on the relocation of your natal horoscope to a place other than the birthplace.
However, this week I want to concetrate primarily on the global view so elegantly illustrated by A*C*G - the big picture. For the diploma students, please bring acetate horoscopes next week for any relocations that you have found remarkable, and want to share with the group. Literally, a move from London to Manchester would make a difference, albeit slight. Many of you have come to London from other cities, indeed, other countries, and have stories to tell, and that is all part of the work for next Sunday s session - for you to be actively involved in the workshop as the afternoon moves on. 1
In today s seminar on Astro*Carto*Graphy, I am not going to blind you with science, but hopefully show how a complex astrological technique is eloquently reflected in personal experience. There are some explanations of the technical side of Astro*Carto*Graphy in Jim Lewis book, The Psychology of Astro*Carto*Graphy . 2 This book is a result of various notes of Jim Lewis , collated and organised by me from the extensive notes and tapes and various articles he had written in the course of his twenty years working on Astro*Carto*Graphy. The final book was written after Jim s death, when Ken Irving then took the bulk of Jim s work and created the book.
This book is an essential, as it offers not only a cookbook interpretation of lines and crossings, but also some of Jim s fascinating mundane, personal and political stories. Today I will offer some new ways of looking at maps, and later on we ll hear some unique and rather amazing experiences from those of you who have been kind enough to volunteer your own stories about various lines you have in your maps.
Now, I am not going to do a workshop on myself. However, because I have travelled extensively, lived in several countries, and had profoundly explicit experiences related to the lines upon which I have lived and travelled, I am going to use my own A*C*G map in some instances as an example. My most recent experience to date was last weekend in Berlin, where I went to do a workshop. I had to lecture for ten minutes or so, then be paraphrased in translation. Fortunately, the man who did it was not only an excellent astrologer, a highly intuitive person, and fluent in both English and German, but we also had the advantage of my Mercury and his Moon being conjoined, so there was a nice third house flow. A good translator is a Sun/Descendant experience, and Berlin on is my Sun/Descendant line.
Another odd aspect of this line manifested in tiredness; I thought to myself, This is a new take on Sun/Descendant. It was rather like feeling as if the Sun was setting all the time - hence it must be time to go to sleep. I actually did spend quite a bit of time sleeping, in an hotel called Mercur - the psychopompos at work. It was rather nice. One way of perceiving your Sun/Descendant line is that it is Vespers, time to sleep, time to enjoy the evening side of your life.
On a more serious note, the Sun/Descendant line is where one is more responsive to the masculine side of one s own nature, in relationships and in the environment; more aware of the heroic, adventurous and exploratory aspect of one s own nature. I felt the undercurrent of the history of Berlin. For all the rote interpretations you might find about A*C*G lines, you must always incorporate the knowledge of the condition of the natal horoscope - that is, a Sun line is not on its own , but implicitly carries the condition of the natal Sun in its manifestation.. Thus, if one has a Sun/Saturn square, then the Sun line is coloured with that information. Similarly, if it is a Sun/Jupiter opposition, then that too must be implicated into the interpretation of the Sun line on the map.
While in Berlin, I was taken to a dance production - one which is deeply meaningful to me. My host had no idea of my tastes in art, music, or entertainment, yet he had booked tickets to a performance by Ishmael Ivo, a Brazilian dancer portraying the paintings of Francis Bacon - a notoriously dark figure. My host did not know the work of Bacon, but I did, and very well. He was my hero when I was at the Vancouver School of Art in the mid-1960 s. And many years later, upon moving to London, I became somewhat familiar with him because we frequented the same private club in Soho. The influence of Bacon on my work as a young girl occurred on my Sun/Ascendant line, my knowing him took place on the Moon/Neptune/Descendant line (in a private club bar), and then, upon my first trip to Berlin, I experienced the most stunning choreographed performance of Francis Bacon s work.
Clearly, there are many ways of looking at how we exist. That is partly what drew me into astrology, well over thirty years ago - the myriad ways in which individuals express their archetypal existence. Even as a small child, I was deeply curious about how the human mind worked and what motivated people. By the time I reached adolescence, I was particularly intrigued by psychopathology and the invisi
