Were the individuals who died on September 11, 2001 destined to die that day? In 1927, Thorton Wilder published a novel, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, that tells the story of the individuals who perished in the collapse of a rope bridge in the Andes mountain ranges of Peru. In that narrative, Brother Juniper, a Franciscan monk, embarks on a quest to find a cosmic answer to the question why those specific individuals died that day when the bridge collapsed. Hundreds of people crossed the bridge every day. Why were these individuals crossing the bridge at the exact moment when the bridge collapsed? The philosophical questions Wilder asks in his work of fiction are the same ones contemplated with anguish almost three quarters of a century later. Why did those specific passengers and crewmembers board those specific planes? Why were those 125 individuals at the Pentagon in those specific offices that morning? Why were the individuals at the World Trade Center there on that Tuesday-and not anywhere else? Why were so many first responders trapped at the site that would henceforth be known as Ground Zero? Was it in the stars? In The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Wilder concludes that "there is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning." Perhaps the same can be said of the events of September 11, 2001. This book includes the names and birth dates of all who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

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.

Long out of print and hard to find, this is the most celebrated book on eclipses of the last seventy years. In this book, learn the unique astronomical factors that create eclipses and why some eclipses are total while others are not. Learn how the Chaldeans discovered the Saros cycle in the sixth century BC, which is still in use today. Learn how the Greeks discovered the Metonic cycle. Find out how the Saros cycle is used in forecasting the effects of eclipses. Jansky gives the astrological key for all 19 of the Saros series. The author uses his understanding of eclipse mechanics in analysis. He uses the twelve houses of the chart, planets conjunct and opposed, the Saros series, fixed stars conjunct the eclipse as well as stars rising or setting on the horizon (ascendant/descendant), the planetary ruler, and the path of the Moon's shadow (the umbra) as it races across the earth during the eclipse itself. Jansky's interpretation of eclipses is rooted in Transactional Analysis (what I do to you becomes what you do to me, etc.), which, astrologically, is the study of polarities, which is what lunar and solar eclipses literally represent, and how these polarities, expressed as opposing signs and houses, can be resolved in terms of human relationships. Jansky delves into the astrological duration of an eclipse, prenatal eclipses, eclipses in rectification and eclipses and health. For case studies he tells of an eclipse-driven corporate crisis at his employer and how it impacted him, his fellow employees, and the management. In the data section, solar eclipses for the 20th century: Date, degree of the zodiac, total, partial or annular, and the Saros number. Also, longitudes of major fixed stars and general and medical bibliographies. A comprehensive book on eclipses. A must-have.

Luke Broughton was born in 1828, in Leeds, England. He was from a long line of English astrologers, who were taught as children by their fathers. He emigrated to America. His fortunes in life, his struggles to promote astrology, mirrored the North-South struggle over slavery. He fought proposed anti-astrology legislation in Pennsylvania, but his efforts were unsuccessful. In New York, Broughton was libeled, his mail stolen, his lectures disrupted, his family assaulted. Yet he persevered. His book, The Elements of Astrology, was the first serious astrology book published in America.

Throughout history, astrology was considered a scholarly tradition, relied upon by world leaders, philosophers and spiritual teachers to guide civilizations in all areas of life. Historically, astrology was accepted in political and academic contexts, and was connected with astronomy, alchemy, meteorology and medicine. Although since the end of the 17th century, science called astrology into question, many scholars are now reviving its role in shaping our understanding of the world. Buddhist Astrology is a form of archetypal astrology that helps us understand the role of the cosmic cycles in relation to our understanding and identification with Buddhist philosophy and mythology. It helps us understand the role of interdependence, a primary Buddhist belief, with our personal genetics, family history, education, and other social and cultural influences. Buddhist Astrology recognizes that there is a critical need to balance the physical world around us with conditions we were born into, from a karmic or cosmic perspective. The interdependence of these factors makes us able to live in a world full of choices while honoring the basic dynamic trends pulling us in one direction or another.

The book explains how to find out your Moon Sign and shows on many examples how it works in the lives of celebrities. The knowledge of your Moon Sign will help you to discover your hidden talents, to better understand people around you, and to live a healthier and happier life. So what the Moon Sign is? You probably know your "star sign" which is defined from the date of birth - when reading a "horoscope" in a newspaper or a magazine, you select the one for your "star sign." In fact, "star sign" is just a marketing term introduced by newspapers and magazines, it doesn't exist in real astrology. The astrological characteristic misnamed as "star sign" is actually the Sun Sign, i.e. the sign of the zodiac in which the Sun was situated at the moment of your birth. Okay, so you already know your Sun Sign, but still, what is the Moon Sign? It's the sign of the zodiac through which the Moon was traveling at the moment when you were born. The Moon is somewhat underestimated in Western Astrology but it is considered to be the main celestial body in Hindu Astrology, with its uninterrupted, thousands years old tradition. Once you discover your Moon Sign, you'll feel like you've recognised something important, essential about yourself. You'll better understand your strengths an weaknesses and, if you want to dive that deep, you might even discover why you have chosen to live this life.

Henry, Alexandre Dumas, Ian Fleming and Hans Christian Andersen. * Quite surprisingly, the Moon in Taurus also gave the world some of the prominent mystics: Edgar Cayce, Carlos Castaneda, Emanuel Swedenborg, Jane Roberts. Carl Gustav Jung was also born with the Moon in Taurus, and some people could say he was also a mystic. * Gemini is the Moon Sign of the many of the prominent world's leaders including Simon Bolivar, Catherine the Great, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Helmut Kohl. And you know what? Barack Obama is also in this company. * Moon in Cancer gave birth to a whole presidential dynasty Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were all born with the Moon in Cancer. * Here is another Moon Sign presidential connection: both George W. Bush and George H.W.

Modern Horary Astrology is a formidable compilation of 60 years of observation and research. Based on approximately 10,000 horary charts erected by the author, more than 125 clearly defined and diverse horoscopes are shown and explained in detail.The first five chapters focus on the rules for reading a horary chart. Subsequent chapters feature queries pertaining to matters reflecting each of 12 houses, with additional chapters devoted to specific house-related events such as marriage, divorce, lost articles, health and missing persons.A particularly fascinating horary example is included in one chapter. After a year of marriage, a woman asked if she would have any children, having been told by her physician that she was barren. Here, the author demonstrates how to view the horary chart from a long-term perspective and coordinate it with the natal and progressed chart. The horary chart also was progressed, and the author accurately predicted the outcome.Another interesting concept in this book that deviates from traditional horary methods is the question of non-radical charts. Even though a chart might appear unreadable because the Ascendant is less than three degrees or more than 27 degrees or the Moon void-of-course, there are times when it can be read.Modern Horary Astrology takes the complexity out of horary chart mechanics and clearly exemplifies how this valuable branch of astrology can be of assistance in answering an extensive range of questions.
