Steven Forrest, author of the award-winning and
critically-acclaimed "The Inner Sky", follows that work with this
empowering look at choice-centred "predictive" astrology -- an
astrology in which we predict the questions people face at certain
times, but never the answers they will give! The astrologer here is
not so much a prophet as a coach. You are never confined to an
inescapable fate. Instead the planets offer you a whirling
kaleidoscope of possibilities, with your freedom and the power of
your imagination in the driver's seat.
Astrology and Meditation explores the idea that the most powerful
astrological technique is a quiet, meditative mind. The book
presents astrology as a form of active meditation where we
contemplate whatever is arising with expectancy, receptivity, and
conscious use of will to shape what unfolds. The author presents
meditations on the spiritual lessons of the planets and zodiacal
signs, and, with the plentiful use of case histories, describes the
technique of symbol amplification, which enables us to unfold the
deepest meanings of chart symbols. The book ends with a discussion
of astrology as a spiritual practice, a training for perfection
that can instill qualities such as discernment, humor, steadiness
in times of suffering, and an expanded capacity to love.
'Patterns of the Past' is the long-awaited revised and updated
version of 'The Karmic Journey' which was published in 1991 by
Penguin Arkana. Judy Hall is known across the world for her work
with past lives and reincarnation, including Hands Across Time
(Findhorn Press), Deja Who (Findhorn Press) and Principles of Past
Life Therapy (Thorsons). In the thirteen years since she wrote
Karmic Journey the public have become more knowledgeable and more
inquisitive about the affects previous lives could be having on
them now -- this updated version will be welcomed by everyone who
is interested in freeing themselves from the patterns of the past.
What are astrological aspects and how do they show themselves in a
horoscope? How do they relate to the zodiac as a whole and how
important are they ? Most importantly, how can they best be put to
use in understanding our individual needs and relationships? Sue
Tompkins, former Director of Schools for the prestigious Faculty of
Astrological Studies, explains the significance and practical use
of astrological aspects, which go much deeper into revealing the
layers of a person's character than do most summaries offered by
basic descriptions of star signs. Included is a section offering
interpretations for every planetary combination. Also featured are
examples drawn from the lives of many well-known people, along with
charts and diagrams. Not simply another book on astrology, this is
informative and useful guide will appeal equally to the experienced
astrologer and to the beginner who wishes to know more.
Explains how to use your Taoist astrology birth chart as a personal
nutritional guide for health, longevity, and organ energy balance
We are each born with a unique combination of heavenly and earthly
energies defined by the Five Elements and dictated by the Universe
at the moment you take your first breath. This "birth chi" can be
calculated using the year, month, day, and time of your birth, and
it reveals your personal profile of health and emotional strengths
and weaknesses as well as the energy cycles you will encounter
throughout your life. In this Inner Alchemy Astrology nutrition
guide, Master Mantak Chia and Christine Harkness-Giles explore how
to strengthen your birth chi through your eating habits, revealing
which foods will address imbalances in your Five Element organ
energy profile. The authors explain which organs are connected with
each Element--Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water--and provide
detailed food lists based on ancient Taoist wisdom that reveal the
Yin, Yang, hot, cold, and Five Element aspects of many common foods
and superfoods. They emphasize the importance of local, seasonal,
and fresh foods and of acid-alkaline balance for health. The
authors illustrate the Five Elements' characteristics through
sample profiles for celebrities such as Paul McCartney and Meryl
Streep, along with Taoist nutritional recommendations based on
their charts. The authors also explore how your Inner Alchemy
astrology profile determines your life and relationships and
explain how inner alchemy practices and Five Element nutrition can
improve all aspects of your life. By eating in line with your
personal Five Element energetic profile, as part of ancient Inner
Alchemy techniques, you can improve health and longevity and
strengthen connections with your loved ones and the energies of the
cosmos.
Behind your familiar astrological chart lurks another chart
entirely, one whose existence you may never have suspected. It
carries your treasures and your wounds. Where the astrologer's
predictions and the realities of your life might not in all honesty
have lined up, this chart-behind-the-chart will help you see why.
This second, hidden chart tells the tale of who you were in a prior
lifetime. It speaks of what wounded you then and what work you left
undone. It warns of old ghosts that haunt you and the symptoms you
experience when you let them grab the steering wheel of your life.
This chart explains the reasons you have the chart you have today
and it clarifies how you can get on with your evolutionary journey.
In Yesterday s Sky, Steven Forrest completes the picture he began
painting in his bestseller The Inner Sky over twenty-five years
ago.

At last, the long-awaited sequel to Wisdom in the Stars. Simon
Bentley, Principal of the White Eagle School of Astrology, offers
us his 'homes in the heavens'. This book is both highly accessible
for the non-astrologer and insightful for those already familiar
with the subject. It provides a practical and spiritually
inspirational guide to the twelve 'heavenly houses' through which
the sun travels on its daily journey through the sky. Following on
from Joan Hodgson's spiritual interpretation of each zodiac sign,
Simon explains the significance of the house in which the Sun was
placed at the time of our birth and helps us to fulfil our
spiritual potential.
Following on from "The History of Western Astrology Volume I",
Nicholas Campion examines the foundation of modern astrology in the
medieval and Renaissance worlds. Medieval and Renaissance Europe
marked the high water mark for astrology. It was a subject of high
theological speculation, was used to advise kings and popes, and to
arrange any activity from the beginning of battles to the most
auspicious time to have one's hair cut. Nicholas Campion examines
the foundation of modern astrology in the medieval and Renaissance
worlds. Spanning the period between the collapse of classical
astrology in the fifth century and the rise of popular astrology on
the web in the twentieth, Campion challenges the historical
convention that astrology flourished only between the twelfth and
seventeenth centuries. Concluding with a discussion of astrology's
popularity and appeal in the twenty-first century, Campion asks
whether it should be seen as an integral part of modernity or as an
element of the post-modern world.
