totally about Stephen Arroyo. His approach is that these archetypes and energies live within us, and becoming familiar with them on a personal level is a continuous process. I love his approach--and think of it as the new paradigm of sacred knowledge too--to empower the individual. I like the way he departs from calling planets malefic or bad or aspects as bad or good. It is much more useful for us to think of these planets and aspects as guides and challenges.

To me it sort of relates to Carolyn Myss (in Sacred Contracts) how she considers the archetypal and symbolic world to be part of the 7th chakra--that through symbolic language (and there are so many languages) we can communicate with these aspects of ourselves.

I looooooved his books, and and it sounds like you are studying and writing some fascinating stuff!
