So, with the planets as guides to the phases of human development, we can construct a more accurate version of spiral dynamics.
I added Earth as a symbol of early humans.
Venus as the symbol of the agricultural, peaceful, goddess-venerating epoch.
Saturn as the symbol of the age of kings and early secular renaissance science.
Neptune as the symbol of communism and socialism, as well as the revival of mysticism. Collectivism in general.
With the other planets, including Pluto/Kuiper Belt, Chiron and centaurs, and Eris/scattered disk objects, aligning with the phases already recognized in spiral dynamics.
And the occultists have another model in which the planets are aligned in just the same way, in the right order: the kabbala's Tree of Life symbol:
![[Image: treeoflife%20pd.jpg]](http://philosopherswheel.com/treeoflife%20pd.jpg)
The Earth represents the age of early humans (tan). Up until about 200,000 or maybe 75,000 years ago.
The Moon (beige) is the age of instinct and family development, and early culture. Up to about 40,000 years ago
Mercury (purple) which represents brethren and relatives, as well as communication and (esoterically) magic, is the age of magical thinking and tribal consciousness. Up to about 10,000 years ago.
Venus (pink) is the age of agriculture, fertility and goddess-worship, stone circles and temples and towns. Up to about 4200 years ago, the time of Sargon.
As we pass through the center circle, we arrive at civilization (yellow), about 3000 BC. The Tree of Life symbol is geo-centric, so astronomically the center circle is the Earth.
Mars (red) is the age of warriors and conquerers, metal work, ambition. Up to the time of Constantine, 300 AD.
Jupiter (blue) is the age of faith; of rule and advancement by authoritarian traditional religion, church, and religious empires. Up to Edward I, Phillip the Fair, Giotto, 1300 AD.
Saturn (brown) is the age of kings, secularism, early-science in visible realms, facing reality, and developing human perspective. Up to the Revolution.
Uranus (orange) (Rahu) is the age of revolution, democratic individualism, free market, industry, science of the invisible, inventions, electricity, eccentricity, the occult, progress, modernism. Advancing rapidly since Uranus' discovery in 1781.
Neptune (lemon) (Ketu), the great solvent, is the age of socialism, communism, labor movements, collectivism, social programs, and also romanticism, mysticism, impressionism. Since Neptune's discovery in 1846, and assuming greater power circa the 1890s-1900s.
Pluto and Kuiper Belt (green), the two-in-one dual planet discovered in 1930, whose Moon Charon was discovered in 1978, is the age of diversity and greenpeace; feminism, multi-culturalism, post-modern relativism, inclusiveness, sensitivity, human potential movements, gestalt psychology, polarization, interdependence, the information age. Since the 1960s, and increasing in power recently.
Chiron and centaurs (yellow). Chiron, discovered in 1977, and known as the wounded-healer in mythology, represents a link between the visible and invisible; tools of growth and transformation, personal high tech (Apple founded 1977) , and integral consciousness that seeks to include earlier values in a greater whole. Other centaurs were discovered in the 1990s, along with the Kuiper Belt (see Pluto). Centaurs are temporary asteroids that fall from the Kuiper Belt below Neptune and Uranus, but not below Jupiter, and eventually become comets. So they represent the phase of regression we are going through now. We have regressed pretty far, going through all these older values down to Mars with Dubya and Trump.
Ultimately, the full dawn of integral consciousness is represented by The Sun at the Center of the Tree of Life symbol, when the stages are truly integrated and not just regressed to.
Eris and scattered disk objects (turquoise) represent a future time when progress resumes in full and we can expand our consciousness to the galaxy and the Spirit of the Whole. Since Eris has been discovered, it may be dawning among some people in the 21st century, and it may represent today's resistance to regression since Bush's invasion of Iraq in 2003 when Eris was discovered.
