Planet — Venus
Metal — Copper
Colors — Pink and green
Life Process — Maintaining
Counterlife Process — Encapsulation
The vocational choices of the student have to be maintained and are sustained
by the enabling course structure of the college.
The force of Mars gives way to the more enabling power of Venus. The red has become pink and the little green pool has spread itself into an all pervading colour. The next challenge of the student is to take his new found sense of self, of location into the community-not yet the greater community of the world but the community of his fellows: to maintain the strength and momentum amongst the difficulties and distractions. This can only be achieved in a context, a context that is mutually sustainable. Those experiences and skills that we have worked for have a place, are sustained by the community around us. Our offerings as individuals are maintained by the context in which we find ourselves. It is no use selling sand in the Sahara, they have plenty.
The counterlife process in Mars can be seen as a hardening, a hardening of the self within itself. The counterlife process in Venus is encapsulation. The self isolates itself from others, digs in as it were, and becomes an elitist, stubbornly clinging to its perceived task and denying the flow, interchange and the interdependence that we all have with others. Organically this condition is cancer; the maintaining energies of the organism are interrupted, cells take on an abnormal independent life which threatens the welfare of the whole.
The super rich enshrine themselves in gated strongholds while the rest of the world goes to the dogs. In collaboration we can save each other and ourselves.
