For richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, you and your
partners will meet again and again, over many lifetimes, until you
work out the kinks. There's just no way to skirt the issue - your
soul needs relationships to evolve. This is the law of
relationships, and in this classic work author Jeffrey Wolf Green
clearly illustrates the evolutionary and karmic progression of two
people throughout many lifetimes. By incorporating past-life
dynamics with modern astrology, Green creates a powerful new
paradigm ... evolutionary astrology. Pluto: Volume II elucidates
Green's theory that once you understand your past life dynamics,
symbolized by Pluto, you will be able to focus on key astrological
principles and methods that propel you forward. If you're tired of
making the same mistakes again and again... isn't it time that you
resolve to evolve?
This volume examines the specific role of horoscopic astrology in
Western culture from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Focusing
on the public appearance of astrological rhetoric, the essays break
new ground for a better understanding of the function of horoscopes
in public discourse. The volume's three parts address the use of
imperial horoscopes in late antiquity, the transformation of
doctrines and rhetorics in Islamic medieval contexts, and the
important status of astrology in early modern Europe. The
combination of in-depth historical studies and methodological
considerations results in an important contribution to religious
and cultural studies.
In recent years, our society has witnessed a resurgence in
astrology that has elevated that durable art form to a level of
popularity it hasn't enjoyed since the eve of western European
Renaissance. In what has thus far been a relatively successful
attempt to cash in on the triumphs of twentieth-centiry science and
technology, contemporary astrologers unashamedly claim far and wide
that their craft is rationally consistent, that it is
scientifically based, and, above all, that "it works."
In The Gemini Syndrome, two professional astronomers have produced
a highly readable and well-referenced response to claims by
astrologers that their theories are scientifically based. The
authors elucidate the glaring internal inconsistencies associated
with many of the basic concepts of "modern" astrology. They trace
the historical development of the celestial "twins" of astronomy
and astrology and leave little doubt concerning the differences,
both historical and modern, between astronomical science and
astrological art-form.
The book's most telling chapters are those dealing with the
empirical evidence concerning the supposed astrological influences.
Culver and Ianna offer the reader what is the most complete summary
of the available data about sun-signs, houses, and aspects. In
every instance the empirical astrologer is found to have no clothes
on
Finally, the oft-stated claim that "astrology works" is
investigated and laid to rest under the debris of more than three
thousand "busted" predictions made by the astrologers themselves,
ranging from the start of World War III to the existence of an
"anti-earth" orbiting on the other side of the sun.
