Gary and All,
Let me be a little clearer. I too like many of the metaphorical
reverberations of "constellation," such as those you mention, Gary.
They are quite lovely in several ways. The hard spot comes only in
having to be constantly wary of people initially mistaking ads and
brochures to be about astrology. Many US types, hearing, or glancing
quickly at, a phrase, think I am talking about a chart for their family.
Love to all... :-)
Best,
Michael

Maybe this is too obvious... but a placement of Stars in the night

days of the Greeks painted a celestial picture of our place in the

define different levels of our psyche. The same with Our
Constellations a
movement of people (multi-dimensionally) into a new configuration
forming an
Order (of Love) that can been seen, felt and experienced in a new
way. Hence
the Healing power of a new picture. I personally prefer The blind or
concealed way of doing it with speaking rather than silence... WORDS
have a
very powerful clarifying effect as they have been repressed and
unexpressed
for centuries' and have remained unspoken and acted out rather than
expressed directly. I find after this the Charge is gone and there's
peace
where there was once movement and tension between the Star
formation.. such
as Mother, Father, Siblings etc...
Blessings as we discuss and define this healing ART FORM on this
wonderful
forum Chris has provided!

Hi, Karen,
The German word 'Aufstellung' has not got a really great translation
into
English, because most people immediately think of the night sky when
they
hear the English word! The term 'Constellation', which is actually
used in
all the English literature on the subject that I have read so far,
is just
one that comes closest.
The German word means literally 'set-up", but since this has a double
meaning in English is it is better explained via the verb
'aufstellen',
which it derived from. And that means setting an object into a
position.
Hope that it is a satisfying explanation.....
Best wishes to all
Ulrike

Hello,
The original word of this work in German is "Aufstellung " which means
"placement, assembly. " The word "constellation" appears in very few
German's books and, I would say, that's happening more in recent
books,
normally translated from other languages such as French. In French,
Spanish,
Italian and Portuguese always used the word "constellation", because
"placement" do not have a visual connotation as "constellation", I
suppose.
How did this happen? I do not know, but I´m curious too.

Hello,
I'm curious about how the term "constellation" came to be attachedthis
work. I have been told that the term Constellation is somewhatproblematic
as it was translated into English from the German. Since I don'tspeak
German, I'd like to know the origins. Much thanks to anyone who canprovide
information.
