With the problems raised by modern interpretations of the planets, both inner and outer, it is time to return to a more extensive study of classical sources on rulership. A systematic source for determining the classical rulership for something, this reference is an adjunct for anyone practicing classical style horary, or wishing to add classical methods to their natal work. Although astrological works dating from the seventeenth century and earlier lack explanations or discussions of the methods of assigning rulerships, we know that rulerships were assigned, and continue to be assigned, right up to the present moment, as new concepts/things are invented/discovered. Dr. Lehman examines how this process was really practiced in the classical period to give us insights into how to proceed today. As the author says, "I view this book as serving two major purposes: as a reference when you need to know what rulerships apply, and as a guide to the classical texts themselves. First and foremost, this is a reference book on rulerships; second, this is a classical concordance. It is out of a sense of respect for the classical material that I have maintained the contradictions and disagreements. The reader may evaluate and decide who is right, who is wrong, or whether the difference was indeed a result of either the usage of the word...or of different usages of the concept." Today we are living in an exciting time for the study of classical astrology because more classical texts are available to the astrologer who wants them than at any time since Partridge. One thing is guaranteed: if you take the time to study the methods, and stalk the classical rulership, it will change your astrology! Happy hunting!

She explains the three healing steps to change specific to your birth sign, and shows you how to apply them in real life situations, giving you the right tools to make the right choice at every crossroads. And of course, she tells you which celebrities share your sign and its gifts.

An examination of the waxing and waning influence of demoted planets * Explains in detail how the demotion or proved nonexistence of a planet marks the beginning of a roughly 30-year period in which that planet's influence wanes * Explores Pluto's arc of influence on individual and collective life in depth, from its discovery in 1930 to the end of its influence in 2036 * Offers examples from other demoted planets, such as Ceres, whose fifty-year reign as a planet corresponds very closely to the Romantic Era of history Recent research in astrology has shown that the discovery of a new planet correlates with the emergence of a new set of influences in individual and collective life. As John Michael Greer reveals, the opposite is also true: the demotion of a planet correlates with the decline of a set of influences into the background. Although there are several instances of this over the last two centuries, Pluto, downgraded to minor planet status in 2006, is the most striking example. Exploring the waxing and waning of planetary influences in astrology, Pluto in particular, Greer explains in detail how the demotion or proved nonexistence of a planet marks the beginning of a roughly 30-year period in which that planet's influence fades out. He examines several examples of planet demotion, including Ceres, whose fifty-year reign as a planet corresponds closely to the Romantic Era of history. Ceres's influence began to take shape some 30 years before its discovery in 1801 and gradually faded over the three decades following its demotion in the 1850s. Examining Pluto's astrological influence in depth, from the beginning of the search for "Planet X" in 1900 to the end of its influence in 2036, the author shows how during the Plutonian era the concept of cosmos--from the ancient Greek meaning "that which is beautifully ordered"--was in eclipse. Pluto's influence led to the rejection of unity, beauty, and order, exemplified through the splitting of the atom by physicists, the splitting of the individual into conscious and subconscious halves by psychoanalysts, and the splitting of the world into warring camps by politicians. Offering an essential guide not only to the astrology of the future but to the twilight of the Plutonian era, Greer shows how as Pluto's influence fades out in the years ahead, a great many disruptive phenomena of the recent past will fade with it and the notion of cosmos--beautiful order--will regain its traditional role in our individual and collective worlds.

Mainstream science has long dismissed astrology as a form of primitive superstition, despite or perhaps even because of its huge popular interest. From daily horoscopes to in-depth and personalized star forecasts, astrology, for many, plays a crucial role in the organization of everyday life. Present-day scholars and scientists remain baffled as to why this pseudo-science exercises such control over supposedly modern, rational and enlightened individuals, yet so far they have failed to produce any meaningful analysis of why it impacts on so many lives and what lies behind its popular appeal. Moving beyond scientific scepticism, Astrology, Science and Culture finally fills the gap by probing deeply into the meaning and importance of this extraordinary belief system. From the dawn of pre-history, humankind has had an intimate connection with the stars. With its roots in the Neolithic culture of Europe and the Middle East, astrology was traditionally heralded as a divinatory language. Willis and Curry argue that, contrary to contemporary understanding including that of most astrologers astrology was originally, and remains, a divinatory practice. Tackling its rich and controversial history, its problematic relationship to Jungian theory, and attempts to prove its grounding in objective reality, this book not only persuasively demonstrates that astrology is far more than a superstitious relic of years gone by, but that it enables a fundamental critique of the scientism of its opponents. Groundbreaking in its reconciliation of astrologys ancient traditions and its modern day usage, this book impressively unites philosophy, science, anthropology, and history, to produce a powerful exploration of astrology, past and present.

She gives the methods to communicate this complex information in a concise and professional manner within the context of an astrological counseling session.

She outlines how to follow these traditional guidelines, but interprets them within a modern context, adding the insights of more contemporary approaches.
Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky taken at the moment and place of your birth, one that reflects your character, personality, strengths, and challenges. But the moment after that picture was taken, the planets moved on--some quickly, some very slowly. Astrologers call the moving planets "transits," and by comparing their movements to your birth chart you can gain a complete view of how best to prepare for challenges, meet opportunities, and stay grounded in a constantly-changing world. In Astrological Transits, astrologer April Elliott Kent will guide you through the best ways to make the most of your birth chart. Learn how to make the most of good transits and harness and transform the energy of "bad" ones. You'll also understand planetary cycles and anticipate your own transits. Finally, you'll know how to read planetary return charts, work with planetary retrogrades, and use eclipses to recognize major patterns and turning points in your life. If you are comfortable reading a birth chart, you are ready to move your chart into the future using transits. Instructions, tables, and worksheets will make tracking your transit cycles simple and exciting!
Life isn't always easy. It's impossible to live deeply and not to feel pain or go through times of crisis, breakdown or major disruptive change. Although this is clearly inevitable, what is not always obvious is the crucial role pain and crisis play in the process of growth and evolution. While some people fall apart altogether and never make it through difficult times, many others emerge from conflict and turmoil renewed and transformed, indeed, more fully alive. They 'return' to life with a renewed sense of commitment to a neglected potential, with a renewed sense of what one might call the 'sacred' in life, with a richly enhanced sensitivity to others. This lovely and important work from Howard Sasportas teaches us how to respond to the transits of Uranus,Neptune and Pluto with calmness and a knowledge that the more we work with them, the more worthwhile will be the end result.
Erin Sullivan's latest book is a breakthrough both in astrology and psychology. The Astrology of Family Dynamics makes for gripping reading and shows us that astrology is the only system that demonstrates the complexities of the family as an organic whole, the family's place in the collective, and the role an individual plays in carrying on the ancestral line. To date there is no book dedicated to family patterns, the psychology of family dynamics, in natal astrology. Not only does this book fill a gap in astrological literature, it also adds an essential new dimension to the psychology of families and groups. The family -- as we have known it -- has changed dramatically with our changing technology. Families are re-forming in accord with the new times and responding to the demands of the family members. Many people are finding themselves uncomfortable within the smothering nuclear family and will want to explore the patterns that may have gone undiscovered because relatives no longer know each other well. The five personal case histories in The Astrology of Family Dynamics are fascinating stories. Sullivan writes with compassion and accuracy, weaving together various methods of analyzing and working with individuals and their families. There is "Mohsin", the adopted man, a story of autism, a poignant story of a woman whose child rejected her in utero! (Freud had it half right!), and the compelling story of a woman who carries the whole of her ancestral line -- a deeply moving tale that verifies our personal links to our own ancestors, links that defy linear time. She discusses the cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs as they affect families, shows how elements work as a familydynamic, tracks core themes in families using planetary positions and aspects, and explains the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses as our ancestral base. She works with the Jigsaw "TM" computer program to sort family charts into graphs that can interpret the data you find. A short discussion of the Kennedy family is also included.

In-depth meanings of the zodiac symbols are revealed, making for a richer understanding of human nature Examining the degrees of the zodiac signs and planets has traditionally involved a dry, technical approach to astrological soul-searching. In this unique book, Ellias Lonsdale encourages personal growth by illuminating the meanings of the signs' degrees. Working in a tradition begun by Marc Edmund Jones's Sabian Symbols and Dane Rudhyar's An Astrological Mandala, Lonsdale fleshes out the symbols and imagery of the degrees with his introduction of the Chandra symbols. These vividly suggestive images, described by shamanic language, raise the level of analysis possible with degrees to a rich, metaphorical tapestry. Inside Degrees reinvigorates the zodiac with emotional intensity and primal understanding. Because each degree is one-thirtieth a sign -- one episode of an epic tale -- the depth and detail of charting one's character grows tremendously. Lonsdale's book is far more that typical astrology; it is "inner" astrology. Applied with the techniques detailed in Lonsdale's earlier book, Inside Planets, this new work will increase comprehension of one's personal nature. |
