In the first chapters of this book we simultaneously follow two
threads. While considering the lives of Richard Wagner, Friedrich
Nietzsche, and King Ludwig II of Bavaria in their
nineteenth-century incarnations and in earlier incarnations, we
examine the planetary configurations accompanying not only their
conception, birth, and death, but also various significant events
in their lives. In this way we experience how these two
perspectives-the biographical and the astrological-weave together
and are intimately interconnected. As illuminating as this is, the
author also indicates however that astrological calculation alone
can never suffice for the truly deep biographical research into
karma and reincarnation demonstrated in this work. The author shows
that although it is clear that an individual's destiny is connected
with the positions of the celestial bodies-that certain regular
occurrences are evident-nonetheless no strict regularities exist.
He maintains moreover that a certain level of clairvoyance is
requisite for any serious astrological study of destiny; even
more-that real astrology requires initiation. Such astrological
research, when successfully carried out as it is here, relating
salient celestial configurations to the life-drama of well-known
historical personalities, reads like fine literature. On a
practical level this work illustrates several important new tools
for the astrologer: how to calculate hermetic charts, how to cast
horoscopes not only of birth and death but also of conception
(including the astrological significance of the embryonic period
between conception and birth), and then also how to apply these
various horoscopes in describing the spiral of life that unfolds in
seven-year periods during the course of a person's earthly
existence. All this reveals profound and fascinating
regularities-among them the discovery that stellar configurations
during the embryonic period are reflected again and again in the
subsequent periods of life. Quite new for most readers will be the
author's treatment of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, indicating that
the names given these planets are deeply meaningful in the light of
spiritual science. To make his case he extends Rudolf Steiner's
description of cosmic evolution by drawing upon Greek mythology,
particularly Orphic cosmology. This book by Robert Powell is of the
greatest possible interest. Professor Konrad Rudni_ki Astronomical
Observatory Jagiellonian University Cracow, Poland
