Sasha's latest book explains why our emotions sometimes have a mind
of their own. The effects can range from mildly pleasant or
irritating, to ecstatic, devastating and life-changing. The Vertex
is one of the most powerful points in your natal chart, yet little
has been written about it. Internationally renowned astrologer and
President of the British Astrological & Psychic Society, Sasha
Fenton guides you through this emotionally charged area of
astrology, in her inimitably accessible but thorough style of
writing.
The basis for this book was a publication by Elsbeth Ebertin
entitled Sternenwandel und Weltgeschehen. It contained cases of her
own investigations and records. Her son, Reinhold Ebertin, and
Georg Hoffman, Elsbeth's coworker, edited the text and added many
new sources of information. Like Ptolemy's astronomical handbook,
Almagest, this is the basis for much of the current information on
fixed stars. Modern astrologers recognized that fixed stars carry
an influence into the horoscope if conjunction a natal planet by
longitude and even more so if by latitude. A prominent star on the
Ascendant or Midheaven is said to be an indication of recognition
achieved in the lifetime. The character of the star indicates the
kind of influence the aspect will have. This book contains 73 major
stars and describes their essential nature.
The study of BaZi (Chinese Astrology) is a sophisticated and
multi-faceted exploration into how the simplest information - a
person's birth date and time - can reveal a wealth of knowledge
about that particular person's character, temperament, behavioural
attributes, and luck outcome and fortune. "The BaZi Structures and
Structural Useful Gods Reference Book" series is designed to
supplement the studies and practice of BaZi students and
practitioners in helping them understand how BaZi structures are
devised, and how to analyse and interpret these structures. The
information in this series is based on classical methods and
techniques that are derived from traditional Chinese BaZi texts and
material. It presents the transliterated version of these
traditional texts for the modern, English-speaking practitioner and
student without losing the essence of the original. This book in
the "BaZi Structures" series focuses on Earth Structures, divided
into the 2 types of Earth Day Masters, Wu and Ji Earth. The
chapters are divided into how both Wu and Ji Earth Structures
function respectively in all 12 months in a year. This book on
Earth Structures serves as a functional and helpful reference guide
and includes: The attributes of Wu and Ji Earth respectively in
each of the 12 months; The Regulating Useful God Reference Guide
for each of the 12 months; Detailed classical commentary on the
factors affecting the overall strength of the Day Master in the
different months; Additional attributes that may affect the Day
Master depending on different Structures and Useful Gods; and, a
summary for each month for Wu and Ji Day Masters respectively. This
"BaZi Structures and Structural Useful Gods Reference - Earth
Structures" book will yield many hours of pleasurable study and
reference for masters, teachers, practitioners, and students of
higher level BaZi.
"The Secret Language of Destiny" addresses the question we all ask
at some point during the course of our lives: "What is the purpose
of my life?" It identifies, based on birthdate, what, on a soul
level, someone came into this lifetime to achieve-in other words,
their karmic signature.
Of all the traditional sciences it is alchemy based as it is in
metallurgy that is directly concerned with the coming of the
industrial order. In alchemical terms modern man lives in the
Ferric Age and his state is best analogized to the properties of
the metal iron, hard, cold, unbending but quick to succumb to
corrosion and rust. The great ancient wisdom traditions of the
world all anticipated this present age for it was already implicit
in the technological and other changes that brought on the dawn of
history. These ancient traditions - dismissed as childish
superstitions by the scientist contain ideas essential to the
self-understanding that contemporary man so desperately needs. This
is the central contention of the writings brought together in
Primordial Alchemy & Modern Religion. Drawing upon many
unexpected sources especially Plato and the ancient Greeks these
wide-ranging, generous essays provide timely reiterations of
ancient alchemical traditions and trace some pivotal themes that
have continued in the theology and symbolism of the modern
religions. This work restores some important keys for the recovery
of a lost heritage of primordial wisdom, offering fresh
perspectives on aspects of the Western and Islamic alchemical
traditions in particular, and at the same time exploring the most
distant roots of the modern impasse.
