Dear friend of the Cosmic Woods,

Join Ingvild & Olaf’s conversation in our little cottage by the Oslofjord, on the nature & variety of Deep Nutrition.

At this final stage, the Gemini energy has transcended all dualities. The individual has fully integrated their being, dissolving the boundaries between self and cosmos. There is no separation; everything is unified in oneness. This level represents the culmination of the journey toward full individuation.

On Level V, the archetype’s potential gathers momentum, and the days of sliding back into shadowy entanglements grow increasingly rare. When relapse does occur, it’s brief, as the core of the archetype begins to solidify. The potential gains muscle, and along with it, personal empowerment flourishes. Level V marks a crucial period of realizing how to embody one's authentic power within the archetype

At Level Four, the shift from entanglement to disentanglement takes root. Sleeping Beauty has stirred. Groggy, perhaps—stretching limbs unused for lifetimes—but the eyes are open. This is a major turning point, possibly the turning point: the spiral begins its upward ascent.

As the spiral ascends to the sixth level, the emphasis must shift from personal gratification to contribution to the collective. This stage marks a distinctive transition from the subjective to the objective, from the personal to the transpersonal. Level VI is about mastery of the archetype. Mastery implies stepping into one's vocational responsibility. The torch must be passed on, and the prime objective is to further collective evolution.*

 On Level III, the archetype is neither fully awake, but no longer fully asleep. There are intermittent knockings at the door of consciousness, half-registered but often ignored. One foot remains in dreamland, the other tentatively testing the floorboards of reality. Denial still lingers like morning fog. Shadows are often projected onto others, and self-responsibility hasn’t really hit home.

At level II, the potential is still deeply entangled. It’s not a complete coma anymore, and at times small glimpses of light are beginning to seep through the cracks. Read here how this specifically translates to the Gemini archetype.

Level I reflects the archetype's least developed expressions. Here, the persona presents its darkest sides, ugliest faces, and most frightening masks. At this stage, consciousness is completely out for lunch, self-awareness utterly obliterated. Without artificial dramatization, here in the very pits, the archetype is experienced as hell on earth, both for oneself and for others. The potential is as unconscious as can be—Sleeping Beauty in a deep coma. Check out how this might play out for the Gemini archetype

An Inner Journey to connect to your Inner Messenger and Messages on the four primary levels obeing: your body (I. quadrant), your psyche (II. quadrant), your environmental mirror (III. quadrant) and the transpersonal (IV quadrant). Happy travels!

The Myth of the Month for Taurus, is the magical story of Persephone, and her magical transformation from the naive girl to the Queen of the Underworld. This is a highly relevant myth for all of us if we want to understand the laws of abundance .

An Outdoor Kitchen: A par excellence Taurus space and making and eating food is one of those everyday chores that add up to quite a few hours a day, and also makes so much sense to do outside. My awareness of how divided and separate from nature we have made our lives today, is growing stronger and becoming less tolerable to me.

AstroMedicine is an endlessly fascinating topic we have worked with over 30 years. Every symptom an individual will experience through the course their life has its correlation - and root- in one´s horoscope. Below you will find a brief overview of the most “classical” symptoms for each of the 12 archetypes.

According to the Chinese clock, which follows the energy as it travels through the different organs in the body, the time between 7 and 9 am is when the stomach has the most energy. That is when it can handle food most efficiently.

In our series on the Cosmological Weather Report, we will kick off with a somewhat daring long-term forecast. Specifically, we’ll share our perspective on the coming Age of Air (we have just dipped our toes into it). This period will last until the year 2219 and will -mark our words- change absolutely everything and all. What fun!

In our book, we call Chiron the “13th archetype”- to signify its importance in the chart. Chiron is known as the wounded healer, a truly intriguing persona that is worthwhile getting to know. Because- you may have guessed it- each and everyone of us carries a customised version of our Wounded Healer within us, naturally a potential gift to a) heal ourselves and b) help others to heal themselves.

A discussion of the eternal question about the relationship between free will and destiny, this is per now my “best take” on how the dynamics between individual choices and cosmic intelligence works.

Usually, we assume that all causality has its roots in the past. In this text, we argue that the future might be an equally valid source of causality.
