A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC. This in-depth study of the minor planet Chiron traces the development of the archetype of the Shaman, or Wounded Healer, which accompanies the soul's journey of awakening. It also demonstrates how this theme is reflected in the astronomical picture, and in turn revealed in the individual horoscope. Chiron's story in Greek mythology is explored and illuminated with skilled interpretation, and there are two large sections detailing Chiron's symbolism and meaning through the signs and houses, and aspecting the planets. The chapter on transits describes the profound process which Chiron signals as it moves around the horoscope over time. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to shed light on the astrological symbolism and meaning of Chiron. Chiron was discovered in 1977 as a celestial anomaly, but is now in a class of its own. In the early 1990s, exciting discoveries within astronomical science revealed a new category of objects, named the Centaurs'. Chiron is considered the major representative of this group which comprises short-orbit comets that cross the paths of the planets from Jupiter to Pluto. The symbolism of this is perfect, as Chiron stands for that luminous thread of consciousness which links the inner and outer dimensions of our human experience, helping us to make sense of our suffering in a deeply personal way, and thus to release our attachment to it. This book is a classic of original thinking, inspiration, depth of astrological experience and careful research. It has more than stood the test of time, and is appreciated by an ever-growing number of astrologers who focus on the soul's unfoldment through life experience, bitter or sweet. This book has addressed and accompanied the healing journey of many thousands of people all over the world. REVISION This edition of 'Chiron and the Healing Journey' represents a major revision of the best-selling previous editions, first published in 1989 and 1999 by Arkana, and in April 2010 in paperback by Starwalker Press. Changes include an entirely new section on the astronomy of Chiron, and how it is reflected in the mythology. The final section 'Spirit of the Age' has been rewritten to address more precisely our contemporary concerns. There is much new case material illustrating Chiron in the horoscope, and the reader is also briefly introduced to other Minor Planets in the same category as Chiron. The mythological base has also been expanded, and there is an in-depth exploration of the 'Chiron Return' which occurs at age 50, representing a major 'rite of passage' for everyone.

There are simple planetary contemplations, hymns & meditation journeys, ideal for the novice who wants to explore the symbolism of the planets & in doing so learn to focus the different planetary energies.

Kabbalah teaches that people have the power to fashion their own fate, but activating and using this power requires genuine understanding of self, desire, and purpose. Helping seekers find that wisdom is the purpose of this book.

By the time one finishes reading the book the following astronomically and cosmographically verifiable facts emerge: There are 28 days to each lunar month, 364 days to each lunar year and 13 months to each lunar year. The 365,366 days years are FALSE concepts. It is the starry designs that form the background to each lunar month that constitute the ZODIAC SIGNS. There are therefore THIRTEEN Zodiac signs. OPHIUCHUS - The serpent holder - which is between Scorpio and Sagittarius, is the one which has been denied existence. The fact that no month is more than 28 days long puts a question mark on the concept of Leap Day and leap year... on all the 30-day and 31 day months. And why are SEPT-OCTO-NOVEM-DECEM no longer SEVEN -EIGHT-NINE-TEN as far as our CALENDAR goes? It seems all our BIRTHDATES, ZODIAC SIGNSand our VERY CALENDAR are FALSELY CALCUALTED Even though GALACTIC SUNS and PLANETARY GALAXIES are all seen as BALLS OF LIGHT in infinite space, Galactic Suns differentiate themselves by the compactness of their LIGHT The fact that our telescopes show only Galaxies and Galactic Suns as the smallest UNITS, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SEPARATE OR SEPARABLE SOLAR SYSTEM. SO THE CREATION STORY IN GENESIS CHAPTER ONE IS COSMOGRAPHICALLY AND ASTRONOMICALLY UNTENABLE. It is only the concept of the Galactic Solar System which enables us to see why there are 2000 years to the so-called MILLENIUM.Our galaxy orbits its galactic sun over a period of 26,000 years The thirteen ZODIAC SIGNS of the Planetary Zodiac, are duplicated by the Greater Zodiac of Thirteen 2,000 year MILLENIA. We are at the brink of entering THE AGE OF AQUARIUS as we leave the AGE OF PISCES... THE AGE OF THE SIGN OF THE CHRISTOS... FISHES

* Shares modern biological studies offering evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet * Explores the early practice of astrometeorology, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time * Looks at the history, philosophy, and methodologies of astrology, as well as its potential future applications in medicine and the social sciences Our ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, correlating these rhythms with weather, plant growth, and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars, astronomy, and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune-telling, Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science, specifically a form of systems science--a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self-organizing systems. Providing clear evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet, Scofield shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth's rotation, the Sun, the Moon, and the rhythms of light, gravity, magnetism, and solar radiation on terrestrial processes. He explores the early practice of astrometeorology, a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time. He shares his own studies on the correlations between Saturn's position and terrestrial weather as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them. Examining the history of astrology, he looks at its earliest foundations in Mesopotamia and its development by the classical Greeks into a mathematically informed body of knowledge. He explores the decline and marginalization of astrology during the Scientific Revolution of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, when astrology was transformed from a credible science to a controversial practice after being attacked by the Church and then abandoned by experimental scientists. Presenting a broad look at how the cosmic environment shapes nature, the author shows how the practice and natural science of astrology can expand its applications in modern society in such varied fields as medicine, history, and sociology.

There is very little written on the most contentious area of astrology, and this greatly updated and revised edition more than adequately fills the gap.
