One of the slides in a sneak preview (available until Friday for upcoming virtual summit, “Finding the Life You Were Born to Live: Astrology, Life Purpose, and Destiny,” October 27–28) shows simple line drawings of water craft. The moment of birth, the pneuma, the zōē, the place of life, was likened to the helm of a ship, with the nautical metaphor, as primary means of transportation in Mediterranean world, characterizing life’s journey at this “most unique, potent, and sensitive point in the chart.” Using several sample charts dated for Midterm election day, Hellenistic astrologer, Demetra George, considers each as if it were the pneuma moment of a person. She evaluates, metaphorically, what kind of ship this individual is — sailboat, barge, yacht, rowboat, kayak, raft, canoe, jet boat, ocean liner, tugboat, submarine, aircraft carrier — and discerns the nature and condition of the steersman at helm.
