Astrology has the power to take our breath away, to enchant us
through the eerie synchronicities it reveals between sky events and
earth events. Life presents us all with periods that are both
challenging and potentially transformative. This book shows - in
intimate detail and grounded in the author's personal experience -
how the outer planets can be used to help navigate and illuminate
those testing times. Astrology can guide us through the deep
initiatory and transformative experiences that life, if we are
willing, offers us - providing an affirmation of an intuitive,
non-rational means of knowing that's central to who we are as
humans, but undervalued and even denied in our modern age. Surfing
the Galactic Highways is a refreshingly bold assertion of the
intuitive, non-rational nature of astrological knowledge, and a
thoroughgoing refutation of those who would relegate astrology to
the status of a 'pseudo-science'.
The predictions of Nostradamus have been continuously in print
since his death and count, alongside the Bible, as one of the two
best selling books in publishing history. Today, interest has never
been higher, with claims that he foretold recent events and fears
that even worse is to come. But prophecy is a tricky business at
best, and much of what is claimed for Nostradamus is based on
mistranslation, over-optimistic interpretation or corrupt texts.
This translation by a professional linguist offers a literary verse
translation of all the original prophecies and identifies their
historical sources. It identifies the original omen books,
illustrated from the original sources and offers reports of these
omens in contemporary English translations.

When you think of astrology, you may think of the horoscope section
in your local paper, or of Nancy Reagan's consultations with an
astrologer in the White House in the 1980s. Yet almost every
religion uses some form of astrology: some way of thinking about
the sun, moon, stars, and planets and how they hold significance
for human lives on earth. Astrology and Cosmology in the World's
Religions offers an accessible overview of the astrologies of the
world's religions, placing them into context within theories of how
the wider universe came into being and operates. Campion traces
beliefs about the heavens among peoples ranging from ancient Egypt
and China, to Australia and Polynesia, and India and the Islamic
world. Addressing each religion in a separate chapter, Campion
outlines how, by observing the celestial bodies, people have
engaged with the divine, managed the future, and attempted to
understand events here on earth. This fascinating text offers a
unique way to delve into comparative religions and will also appeal
to those intrigued by New Age topics.

A guide to discovering and developing the spiritual and mystical
talents hidden in your astrological chart * Explores the 4th, 8th,
and 12th houses of the natal astrological chart-those connected
with the water signs, the deepest and darkest areas of the
individual psyche, profound spiritual insights, and hidden
knowledge * Explains how to interpret the signs and planets in the
water houses of your birth chart, including how to develop the
innate talents and spiritual powers you discover * Reveals the
occult and psychic significance of water and shows how this
significance is expressed in each of the three water signs: Cancer,
Scorpio, and Pisces, the rulers of the water houses Your
astrological birth chart, or natal chart, shows the positions of
the planets, sun, and moon at the time of your birth. Shaped like a
circle or wheel, it is divided into 12 sections, or "houses," each
connected with a different area of life or self. The positions of
the planets within the houses offer deep and often complex insight
into your unique gifts and your life's path. In Astrology for
Mystics, Tayannah Lee McQuillar explores the 4th, 8th, and 12th
houses--those connected with the element of water and all things
occult, mystical, and spiritual. The fourth house, ruled by water
sign Cancer, is traditionally the house of family, home, ancestors,
and suffering. The eighth house, ruled by water sign Scorpio, is
the house of sex, death, secret powers, and transformation. The
twelfth house, ruled by Pisces, is the house of karma, loss,
unspoken expectations, fantasy, and confinement. As McQuillar
explains, these are the houses that reveal the deepest and darkest
areas of the individual psyche, which many people are reluctant to
explore, yet this triad is the key to profound spiritual insights
as well as the discovery of hidden knowledge and abilities. The
author guides you through interpreting the signs and planets that
inhabit the water houses in your natal chart and shows how they
reveal specific innate talents. She describes how to develop the
hidden powers revealed by your chart and offers practical advice
for incorporating this knowledge into your daily life for spiritual
growth and self-improvement. Sharing interpretation examples from
her practice, she also explores how to embrace the challenge of the
occult water houses so you can claim the many treasures that can
only be found on the ocean floor of the psyche.
