John D. Grove has spent many years in two worlds - the practical
world of professional psychotherapy based on Jungian theory,
contrasted with his ongoing more private interest in the world of
astrological psychology. Dreams and Astrological Psychology
presents his reconciliation of these driving forces in his life.
John highlights the profound predicament we in the Western world
are in, reflecting the unbalanced state of our own egos. Jungian
understanding of the psyche points the way forward, and John
suggests that we can each become our own psychologist to begin to
understand the puzzle of our own psychic existence. Our dreams and
our astrological chart provide keys that help us to unlock this
puzzle and realize our true potential as psychologically healthy
and balanced individuals, thus raising the level of our collective
experience.

What is the significance of December 21, 2012? In this
groundbreaking book, Tim Lyons offers a multi-faceted answer to
that question by applying the principles of western astrology to
time measurement that the ancient Maya called the Long Count, a
period that began in 3114 BC and that ends on December 21, 2012.
Drawing on the historical studies of Lewis Mumford, Arnold Toynbee,
and others, Tim finds connections between the Mayan aeon and our
own astrological ages, uses our astrological tools to draw meaning
from the Mayan time-measurements, and demonstrates the correlations
between the Mayan measurements and the many important historical
developments from the past 5125 years. In his last chapter, Tim
casts a horoscope for the aeon beginning on the winter solstice
2012, seeking similarities and differences between that horoscope
and the one for August 11, 3114 BC. Concluding that the Long Count
horoscope symbolizes a type of social development characterized by
authoritarian militarism and leading to ecological destruction, and
showing how those tendencies have worked themselves out through
time in tandem with important transits and progressions to that
horoscope, he connects social, psychological, and spiritual
elements to give a clear diagnosis of the problems facing human
civilization. Seeing the Long Count as measuring "the era of
bigness," he suggests that the future will see the development of
smaller institutions arising as adaptations to the dominant model
that has now run its course.
