From ancient times, people had knowledge of the zodiac's intimate
involvement in the creation of physical life. They understood that
the twelve realms of constellations of fixed stars in the sky
emanated specific forces that were brought to life and movement by
the planets. These spiritual energies created and formed all living
beings on earth - including, of course, the human being. This
traditional awareness has been reenlivened and given new meaning in
our time through Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. Steiner gave
specific indications involving twelve individual gestures and
colours that depict the forces of the twelve zodiacal regions. In
this richly-illustrated collation of original artistic research -
which features exciting new work on the zodiac via the mediums of
sculpture, graphics and painting - these new insights are explored
and illumined in twenty-seven essays and numerous full-colour
images. Led by editor Gertraud Goodwin, the various contributing
artists offer a rich tableau of authentic, individual approaches to
understanding the zodiac, throwing light on the vast realm of
creative forces around us whilst acknowledging their primary
source. 'From the many relationships to other qualities, like the
consonants, virtues, areas of the human body, colours, eurythmy
gestures, elements (earth, water, air, fire), musical keys and many
more, in which the zodiacal forces express themselves as if through
different instruments, a harmony begins to emerge, which informs me
of an ever rounder picture of one particular force of the Zodiac.'
- Gertraud Goodwin
The personal panchanga is the secret key in vedic astrology to
understanding the deeper levels of your chart, and this book will
help decode it. Panchanga is the Indian Almanac used from ancient
times to tabulate the effect of many diverse cosmic factors that
influence the quality of the day. Panch means five, and Anga means
limbs, so panchanga literally means five limbs - or the five
sources of energy through which the luminaries have to pass in
order to reach consciousness. The panchanga on the day of the birth
effects our physical energy, mental makeup, emotional connections,
practical desires and our sense of security. It additionally tells
of the gunas, Ayurvedic doshas, prakriti, chakras, the five great
elements, dysfunctional or burnt signs, the good luck points, the
lucky and unlucky planets, how to choose the right name, the best
career options, relationship compatibility and much more. After
reading this book, you may wonder how you ever analysed the natal
chart without it.
