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.
This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.
Aspects to Horoscope Angles focuses on the influence of the planets
in aspect to three of the angles of the horoscope: the Midheaven,
the Ascendant, and the Vertex. Included is delineation of the
planets in aspect to the Midheaven and Ascendant. The author also
emphasizes the use of the angles in the rectification of a birth
time. Numerous examples illustrate the principles of planets in
aspect to the angles, as well as rectification using the charts of
former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and well-known
astrologer L. Edward Johndro.
Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra nosi u sebi misaonu dubinu o kojoj se
do sada nije ni govorilo niti pisalo, i ova knjiga je nastala kao
pokusaj da se objasne odredjeni delovi pomenutog Djotis klasika,
ili bar oni delovi koji se odnose na dase. Iako naizgled
jednostavna, Vimsotari dasa je jedno od najvecih otkrovenja Brihat
Parasara Hora Sastre. Ova knjiga zalazi u kompleksnost Vimsotari,
ali i drugih planetarnih dasa zasnovanih na naksatrama (Udu dase),
da bi se objasnio njihov znacaj i primena.

Surf the right moments in life and suddenly all the challenges and
obstacles become that little bit easier to navigate. Victor Olliver
is one of the UK's leading media and consultant astrologers with a
weekly star-signs column in the legendary The Lady magazine and a
weekly astrology segment on global radio Apple-FM. Rachel Johnson
in The Mail on Sunday profiled his work in 2012. And his many
accurate forecasts include the outcome of the US presidential and
London mayoral elections in 2012 as well as the safe landing and
success of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. Victor says:
"I wrote Lifesurfing for people who are both playful and ambitious,
who don't take everything they read and hear as gospel, but who
judge things for themselves and can discriminate. Even to the
sceptic I would say: 'Put astrology to the test for a year and see
for yourself how it identifies the right moments to strike.'" He
adds: "To underline the fact that Lifesurfing takes a fresh
approach, I asked for a book cover that does not feature stars,
constellations, horoscope wheels and glyphs or mediaeval artwork
featuring naked stone virgins." Molly Parkin, who writes the
foreword as a fervent follower of astrology, is one of the world's
leading style icons and a celebrated painter, poet, novelist and TV
talking head. As fashion editor of Nova, Harpers & Queen and
The Sunday Times she pioneered cutting-edge boho looks before
producing a series of erotic fiction bestsellers in the '70s and
'80s. In May 2012 she was awarded a Civil List Pension by the Queen
for her services to the arts. Work is in progress to stage a
musical and produce a movie of her extraordinary life. Her personal

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.
