With renewed interest in the ancient Cherokee Calendar and other
Native American timekeeping systems, the need for a simple way to
learn the major factors affecting each days has now been filled.
While there are traditionally 22 factors affecting each day, and
calculation can be a time-consuming process, this ephemeris
provides the five most important factors. For each day from 2012 to
2054, the Day Sign, Wind Sign, Week Sign, Year Sign and Year Wind
are provided in an easy-to-use text-based almanac format
Suzan Donleavy's The Whirling Winds: Suffering and Transcendence in
the Movement of Energy reports the findings of a study which
presents new and important astrological information. It is believed
that knowledge of the movement of energy illustrated by the
"Whirling Winds" motif was once known, and has been lost for
millennia. Its rediscovery offers us the possibility of considering
our lives from a new perspective, a perspective closer to an
objective view of reality. In addition to providing a broader
intellectual viewpoint, understanding the inexorable movement of
energy described in The Whirling Winds can free us from what is
often most painful within the sphere of personal relationships: the
turning wheel of attraction and repulsion. This understanding can
also help us to appreciate our waxing and waning physical, mental,
and emotional energy levels. The Whirling Winds offers readers a
method for identifying the sensation of lunar and solar transits
and for verifying the results of the study for themselves, and in
their own lives. The organic understanding that we are all
participants in a greater cosmic-environmental system may provoke a
deeper questioning about our role in this large-scale energy
exchange. And these questions can be a real starting point for a
new level of exploration.
