The Astrology of Awakening: Eclipse of the Ego, by Eric Meyers M.A.
puts forth a new paradigm for astrology, one that centers around
spiritual realization instead of ego. This work details how the
process of spiritual awakening can be understood astrologically,
and seeks to fully include the transpersonal throughout the system.
In the spirit of 2012 and a "shift in consciousness" this book aims
to renew astrology for the 21st Century. It addresses the evolution
of consciousness and spiritual growth with many thoughtful
innovations and sensible reforms.
This is the new and expanded version of Day-Signs, originally
published in 1991. In this edition there are some content and
organizational changes in the introductory chapters, the listings
of people born under each of the day-signs has been expanded, and
the day-sign look-up tables now go to 2029. The original
delineations of the 20 day-signs remain at the heart of the book,
and these have been updated to include the author's latest
insights. They are the first ever to be described in psychological
terms, and the only ones produced by the analysis of over 400
examples. For those interested in astrology, it may come as a
surprise to learn that the Maya and Aztecs of ancient Mexico and
Central America had developed a comprehensive system of signs and
cycles, very little of which has survived in the indigenous
population to the present day. Tantalizing pieces of this
astrological system do exist but there are many parts missing. One
thing is known, however, and that is the central role of the 20
named days called day-signs. It is the reconstruction and
reinterpretation of these symbolic images that is the subject of
this book. The 20 day-signs are like a zodiac - a cycle of
development that moves through various stages from origin to
completion. Each of the day-signs has distinct qualities and as the
20 signs cycle through the calendar dates, they move with a
secondary cycle of 13 numbers that deepen meanings. Finally, after
13 cycles of the 20 day-signs and 20 cycles of the 13 numbers, the
larger cycle, called the Tzolkin by the Maya and Tonalpouhalli by
the Aztecs, begins again. This 260-day cycle is at the core of the
ancient astrology of the Americas and an understanding of it is a
prerequisite to comprehending the other components of the system.
Here, in this book, is a modern interpretation of each of the
signs, translated from an ancient mindset into the shared reality
of the present. Even though the rediscovery of ancient native
American astrology is far from complete, readers will be fascinated
that significant variations in personality, discovered in a strange
culture a long time ago, are just as relevant today.
Dykes presents the first complete translation into English of
al-Kindi's famous work on horary and electional astrology, which is
used by many famous traditional astrologers including William
Lilly.
This annual publication gives the longitudes of all the planets for

The Uranian Transneptune Ephemeris for 1900-2050 at Midnight is a
specialty edition from the standard setting American Ephemeris
series. Compiled and programmed by Neil F. Michelsen, it provides
150 years of positions in 5-day intervals for the Uranian
Transneptunian points, or hypothetical planets, first identified by
Alfred Witte and Fredrich Sieggruen in Germany in the 1920s. Witte
first noticed that four points in space appeared to behave in every
way the same as planets, although no physical bodies had been
actually found there. Later, Sieggruen identified four more points.
Some suppose that the TNPs (as they are called for short) could be
mathematical points, like nodes, that reflect combinations of
energies. No one really knows, but it can be said that after nearly
a century of observation of the points in space, Uranian
astrologers are convinced of their validity, and have verified
consistent patterns in how to interpret their meaning. This volume
is provided for ease of use in quickly scanning for the positions
of each of the eight TNPs over lengthy periods of past history and
also for projecting into the future. The introductory text in the
book provides keyword interpretations for the TNPs and a resource
guide for where instructional and interpretive books, tools and
materials can be found.
Providing a complete translation of two classic introductory works
in traditional astrology, this text is ideal for students or for
use as a reference and companion text for courses. More than 120
illustrations and numerous commentaries by the translator and
editor are featured.
BOND - JAMES BOND. He's a global literary and entertainment
phenomenon. But few know there is a hidden, esoteric side to Bond
and his creator, Ian Fleming - and all those secrets are revealed

may have tricked the Nazis using astrology, why James Bond is the
ultimate Scorpio archetype, and why he's a hero who remains
