The Astrological Significance of Metropolis: Interpreting the Stellium in Aquarius
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this episode, Astrologer Christopher Renstrom explores the astrological significance of the stellium appearing in the zodiac sign of Aquarius, drawing a parallel with Fritz Lang's 1927 film, 'Metropolis'. Renstrom's interpretation of the film's narrative serves as an allegory for the celestial alignment in Aquarius, the clash between intellect and labor, and the role of Leo as the heart and mediator between the two. The discourse also hints at the societal changes and dilemmas Aquarians grapple with, especially between the eternal heavens (Uranus) and earthbound mortality (Saturn). Renstrom highlights the importance of the heart in navigating these polarities, suggesting it as a key theme in the astrological landscape.

Love that you have your own channel. This show was amazing!
I love that you love! And I"m so glad that you enjoyed this week's episode. 😊
Only you can pull out the demonstration of THAT dance 🥰
🤣I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! 🤣
The Metropolis dance scene can be found on TH-cam. So ghostly and sinister and raw. Truly a work of art!
Isn't it FABULOUS!!!!!! Everyone has to go watch!! 😊
Yes! I just found the clip on TH-cam
WOW
@@christopherrenstromastrooh lord I am just a few minutes into the vide and now I can’t get the music out of my head from dancing scene. FYI love your storytelling and I am watching you do it while held hostage by the kitten we named in your honor. My dad was born in 1922 and I have a fondness for the design and artistic style of the era including the music but I sleep found that movie a little off putting and I am an eighth house Pluto natally! 🐈😀
Thanks Pip, looking forward to seeing the movie now too!
Oh Christopher! My how you move my soul with your fascinating teaching style. You lock in understanding without one suspecting they are being taught, yet one is led down a winding and exilerating path of a tale with messages for the soul, mind, and heart! I am so overjoyed that you have created your own platform, and we can have more of you! I truly wish all topics could be taught by you! Your style sets the standards for your industry and humankind! Thank you, my favorite astrologer, teacher and dare I say...friend! I am so grateful for you! Deb :)
I'm glad you say friend Deb, because I consider you my friend too. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. 😊
Agreed! ...He is a very talented storyteller. I always feel well fed on every level when he's finished his tale
Christopher, your storytelling not only helps me understand the planets better, but it also hits me on an emotional level. Thank you so very much!
Bravo! Bravo! 👏🏽 I feel like I just walked out of a college humanities lecture 😃 “Themes in 20th Century Cinema”
Oh, that makes me SO happy! It's how I like to read Astrology and I'm so glad that it appeals to you. Thanks for watching! 😊
I know, right?? But don't you miss those days in college . . ? 😊@@davishropshire5361
@@christopherrenstromastro Absolutely! ❤️
Your story telling abilities combined with your knowledge and sensitivity combines to create an experience that is completely enthralling! Thank you again Christopher!💥💫❤
I'm SO glad that you enjoyed this week's episode @misywor635. It means a lot!! 😊
Spoke like a true thespian! And how delightful the melange of theater, film, and astrology! Chris, you are amazing!
I am weeping at the end of this so artful analysis. So, so true, the heart is the mediator, the pain and suffering we witness today is a loud cry to us all to lead our decisions with the heart.
When I first saw Metropolis I cried. It made a deep impression on me leading to a connection to Marxist ideology. I immediately understood the message, the metaphors, and the link to our wretched world. And how hauntingly this film is as up-to-date as it was when first screened.
Your interpretation through an astrological lens adds to the haunting truth Metropolis brings us. You a true master in conveying social issues using the Planets, or our gods, to mirror our existence.
Thank you so much for another beautiful piece.
With lots of love from an Aquarian (16º) ascendant, Sun (13º) Saggitarius, Uranus in Leo at 25º, and Venus at 24º conjunct Saturn 16º Capricorn.🎭💖
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. They are deeply appreciated. And yes! The Marxist themes in Metropolis are as relevant now as they were in 1927. 😊
📖Pull up a comet 💫 it’s story time! 😄
You take the comet. I'll settle for this here Asteroid . . . 😊
@@christopherrenstromastro teehee 🤭
Oh! Thank goodness Christopher and his storytelling are back! I was really missing your weekly stories!
I was too! It's good to see you again @judizala9070! 😊
Your storytelling is fascinating! I could listen to you for hours! Thank you Christopher
You are SO sweet! Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. 😊
Dearest Christopher, I was a film major and film history was one of my favorite classes (along with special effects) so your pairing of Metropolis with Pluto in Aquarius was a real treat for me as we discussed and dissected Metropolis in class! Fabulous! Then add in the fact that my Sun and Moon are in Aquarius and rising is Leo, I'm excited for the future. Blessings to you ❤
WOW! What an alignment of planets and circumstances!!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this episode on Metropolis and that it resonated with your chart. Blessings to you too, @red5462. 😊
Fabulous story time with Christopher. I'll be looking for that film now. Thank you thank you for being you and being here for us!

You did? That makes me SO happy! Thank you for subscribing!!! 😊
❤ You Christopher…!!!!! ❤ All of your stories! Thank You 🙏!
Thank you. Love this story.
Thank you, Christopher and yes!
💗💗💗
I love your stories, especially when they revolve around a black and white movie. I always google the movie, and I love to see the images that you have described. Falling in love with those 1920's/1930's movies now. The correlations with the skies right now are so synchronistic.
Aren't silent movies AMAZING? They really are an art form all their own. And yes, quite synchronistic! 😊
Wow!!!!! Thank u so much for this beautiful message!! ❤️🔥✨️
You're welcome. And thank YOU for watching! 😊
The concept of the heart being the mediator between the brain and the hands is very worthy of an entire movie. In fact, I believe that it's worth of an guiding philosophy for life. All of this is said by a Leo ascendant. Thanks, Christopher, for delivering a delicious, chewy message. I will keep some of it in my pocket, some under my pillow, some in my kitchen cabinet to be used as an ingredient in my favorite foods. But most affectionately, I will treasure it in my heart.
Too often, only the dark side of Leo's is portrayed by astrologers. We're painted as narcissistic show offs always greedy for the limelight. But there's magnanimous, warm golden hearted of Leo too. Thanks for drawing attention to this.
And thanks for the Big Idea of the week. You honor your audience's intelligence by sharing yours.
I love Leos! And your message is a great example of why. Your words warmed my heart and moved my Soul like a beautiful ray of Sunshine. Thank you! 😊
❤OMG!!! Tremendous!! I just absolutely loved this story. Iam fairly certain you could read me the phone book and I would sit in awe but *this* was electric and on point for where we are today.❤
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this week's Metropolis episode. It was lots of fun to do! 😊
Ohhh Christopher! You’ve done it again! Beautiful 🫶🏽storytelling and interpretation 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Christopher!!
And thank you to whoever changed that eerie creepy piano music at the intro . . . .
Christopher I think this is the very best of you & your readings! I absolutely love this and so appreciate you for this!
Thank you SO much for watching @cynthiasargent. I really appreciate it! 😊
OMG ❤CHRISTOPHER! What a breathtaking story✨I could visualize everything you said. How amazing how you bring these people /characters to the Archetype’s in Astrology and the Cosmos!

You're welcome. And thank YOU for watching! 😊
Im so over the moon that you finally made your own channel! You’re such an engaging storyteller and teacher. If you need any ideas for content I know I would just eat up a mythology series ❤️
Beautiful and insightful as always @Christopher! Thank you. And the Metropolis story has shed light on the nature of fixed signs in general. I love how you explain the interplay of Aquarius and Leo. I'll also add that Taurus, the classic builder, and Scorpio, the underworld and deep psychological energy, both feel connected in an elegant way here that is not always easy to understand. Now I want to watch the movie!
I'm so delighted that you got what I was trying to do. And I love that the result is you wanting to watch the film. That makes me happier than you know! 😊
Beautiful as always Christopher 💖
Captivating Christopher 😊
Brilliant! Beautifully haunting analogy of the stellium in Aquarius.

Thank you for the compliment. It's greatly appreciated. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this episode! 😊

It's wonderful to see you here @newangeltarot. And thank you for encouraging me to start my own channel. I really appreciate it!!! ❤❤❤❤
Lovely lecture. I was just thinking about the ancient and modern rulers of Aquarius Saturn (hands turning clock)and Uranus (the concept of the mind)and then you bring Leo in how perfect. Thank you so much
So glad you got that! Thanks for watching! 😊
I've never seen Metropolis. I am aware of it's existence. The journey you took me through to explain this movie and it's importance is sublime Chris and peaks my curiosity to now watch the movie. Thankyou

My valentine morning astrology message ❤
Happy Valentine's Day! 😊
Wow, what a brilliant loving sharing of introducing a very well thought out movie 🎥 I feel, like you've said, the movie sounds like a very good representation of what we are living out in real life in this time, in how we all would benefit from living from the heart as the center way that guides the ideas in the head to create with the hands in a healthy way😃💚🤲
It's a lovely message isn't it? As relevant today as it was in 1927. 😊
❤❤❤Right On Christopher ❤❤❤
Beautiful interpretation ❤
I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you.
Bravo!!!👏 ❤ Brilliant.
I'm so glad you liked this week's episode. 😊
Yey, story time!😍
So wonderful 🎉
You nailed it! I just watched the movie and the US needs a mediator!
Parts reminded me of January 6th! The whole Pluto reference. And AI.
The head and hands need a mediator (heart).
And of course about the heart for Valentine’s Day.
Strange movie and reference to hitler days.
Metropolis was prescient in a manifold of ways. 😊
Beautiful 🤩
Fantastic rendition of the whore of Babylon dance Christopher - I adore that piece!!!! Nailed it yet again 👏🏼🥰💛.
I rehearsed for days . . . 😉
Bravo! Wonderful! 🙏👏🌹🌃
You certainly know how to tell a story. I was riveted. I’ve heard of Metropolis but have never seen it. I will look for it now. And I will start following you. btw, I have Saturn in Aquarius.♒️
I'm so glad I turned you on to Metropolis. You'll love it! And thanks for following. I really appreciate it! 😊
I was intrigued by this study of the movie Metropolis from an astrological lens.
Ended up watching the whole thing on TH-cam.
I’d never seen it before.
Seems like there’s some Gemini energy for the character of Maria.
Very rich and much to be explored there. Thank you!
You watched? Oh, that makes me SO happy! It's one of my favorite films. And I like your take on Maria's character as being a Gemini. Food for thought . . . 😊
Explained to be easily understood, grateful to you🙏
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And thank YOU for watching. 😊
You have a new fan in me! Great storytelling
Holy wow! Christopher, you’ve outdone yourself! You had this ♉️♌️♏️ crying midpoint to the end. I’m a mental health therapist from a family of workers now in a very different place in the world, and I can very much relate to being that heart mediator. 🤯
Thank you for this! Sharing with my teenagers.
Ps - Also neuro spicy and I love how I don’t have to speed you up. 🥰
I"m so glad that you enjoyed this episode @AriLarsen. I love sharing the message of Metropolis which is as relevant today - maybe even more so! - then it was in 1927. 😊
Oh wonderful I’m going to watch the film
Please do! You're in for a treat!! 😊
That movie!♥️💕♥️
Right???? 😊
My teen has a natal Stellium in Aquarius in her 7th house.
My son also has a stellium in Aquarius (including his sun) in the 2nd house.
This is wonderful Christopher ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 😊
Wow!!!!
Love this❤…by the purse(y) lol😂I adore you more and more 😂😂
One of your best, Christopher. And yes, amen, silent screen films are magical (am a huge fan/oft inspired by) and a perfect vehicle for myth, for so many reasons. German Expressionist ones in particular, with their painted sets. I finally watched Der Golem on TH-cam, only recently - WOW. Will now rewatch Metropolis with your astrological insight in mind, which I muuuch prefer to the usual, biblical interp.
(btw, my S/M midpoint is on Vesta in Aquarius/3rd, and yes, it's the alembic).
ps, Did you ever see 'Visions of Light'? Documentary about film lighting. Of course you must have...).
Thanks again, have shared 💙💨
I looooove Visions of Light! It's such a lovely film! 😊
TY Christopher for your explanation of the silent film Metropolis which I saw many year's ago but never really understood. I did get the correlation of the working class slaves to the system and the montage of cogs, whistles, clocks, and the skyscrapers that reached up into the sky so far it was impossible to believe, and of course those little airships! Back then, years ago, I saw the sexual innuendos as well but thought she was some sort of evil goddess, a Black Moon Lilith maybe? But fast forward to present time with AI and it is really an amazing jump into the here and now. And I loved your whirling around like the seductress too! LOL There's also a colorized version of Metropolis on YT.
So glad that you enjoyed this week's episode on Metropolis. And love that you got the AI tie-in. I'm constantly amazed by how prescient this film is and in such unexpected ways! 😊
💚💚💚and if it really were naïve, then there would be no outer-planet higher purpose to astrology 😉 thank you Christopher for your top-shelf astrology 😊🙏🏻💚✨
I literally am going to watch the movie right after
Oh, I'm so glad! I hope you like it! 😊
