The mere mention of the word `teenager' can strike fear into the
heart of the bravest soul, and yet there are some truly heroic
individuals who make it a life-long mission to teach them. Alex
Trenoweth is one such teacher. She also happens to be an
astrologer. Her official subjects are Religious Studies, History
and English, but from reading 'Growing Pains' you will quickly find
that her true passion is the actual students themselves. Using the
cycles of Jupiter and Saturn she untangles the confusing conundrum
of why groups of students are so different from each other year on
year, and sometimes even within year groups. How is an already
over-worked teacher supposed to cope with this ongoing challenge?
Alex Trenoweth has the answer.
Alphabetically arranged entries cover the history of astrology from
ancient Mesopotamia to the 21st century. In addition to surveying
the Western tradition, the book explores Islamic, Indian, East
Asian, and Mesoamerican astrology. The field of astrology is
growing rapidly, as historians recognize its centrality to the
intellectual life of the past and sociologists and anthropologists
treat its importance in a number of modern cultures. Despite the
historical and cultural significance of the subject, most reference
works on astrology focus on instructional techniques and are
written by astrologers with little or no interest in the history of
the topic. This book instead offers an objective treatment of
astrology across world history from ancient Mesopotamia to the
present. The book provides alphabetically arranged entries by
expert contributors writing on such topics as horoscopes, court
astrologers, Renaissance astrology, and comets. While it considers
the Western tradition, it also treats Islamic, Indian, East Asian,
and Mesoamerican astrology. In doing so, it explores the role of
astrology in shaping science, literature, religion, art, and other
defining cultural traditions. Sidebars offer excerpts from various
historical texts, while entries provide suggestions for further
reading. Provides alphabetically arranged reference entries that
delineate the historical and cultural significance of astrology
from ancient Mesopotamia to the present Directs users to additional
sources of information via entry bibliographies Offers sidebars
offer additional facts from primary source documents Incorporates a
timeline to help readers to place astrological developments in
chronological context Features an introductory essay for a
narrative overview of the history of astrology, priming readers on
its cultural relevance
In October 2007, a new phenomenon appeared in the sky, was named
the Comet Holmes, and was being claimed and acclaimed by the Hopi
Nation as the Blue Star of their prophecy. The Blue Star is the
harbinger. Between now and somewhere in 2013-2014, when the Red
Star appears, great shifts in human consciousness will continue.
With the fulfillment of the Mayan Long Count calendar in 2012 and
the appearance of the Red Star, many are predicting that human
consciousness will rise to the next level. Although there may be
catastrophic events associated with this period, and life as we
know it will surely change, if we do the work, this will not be the
Apocalypse. In "The Astrology of 2012 and Beyond", Garrison
explores the changing sky, starting with the movement of Pluto into
Capricorn, a region it hasn't inhabited since 1733. It's
revolutionary times ahead for individuals, governments, and the
planet. Garrison draws on traditional astrology and her
understanding of the Hopi prophecies and their relationship to the
Mayan 2012 predictions, as well as the ending of the 13,000 year
masculine kundalini cycle, to offer practical advice and
information that will help us evolve through the next four years -
including what to expect and how to survive during the nearly
inevitable pole shift.
