Both the pathological dimensions of defences and their creative contributions to the personality are carefully explored through the zodiac signs and through the multi-levelled planetary symbols Saturn and Chiron, to reveal the many ways in which we both protect and injure ourselves when confronted with what we experience as life's threatening face. The seminar format brings complex psychological material alive in an accessible way, and ample case material highlights characteristic human behaviour patterns. This volume is a profound revelation of the creative ways in which we can approach what may initially seem like our greatest failings.

    Ghostwriting for Evangeline Adams, it was Crowley who wrote the vast majority of her classic textbooks, Astrology: Your Place in the Sun (1927) and Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars (1930). General Principles of Astrology finally acknowledges Crowley's authorship.Crowley's goal was to abandon traditional assumptions, so he based his findings on actual charts and how they were expressed in people's lives. In his characteristically clear and elegant prose, Crowley discusses each planet from a scientific and mythological point of view. He provides an exhaustive analysis of astrological types, drawing conclusions for over 180 astrological nativities of wellknown artists, poets, musicians, philosophers, politicians, and business leaders from the 18th to the 20th century.This new book is composed of painstakingly gathered work, primarily ghostwritten by Crowley, and published in various early twentiethcentury texts. It is published here in one volume for the first time, in an undertaking endorsed by both the Adams and Crowley estates.

    Written by a contemporary master of traditional practice, it elucidates both technical matters and significant points of the philosophy that forms the basis of the practical craft. As in The Real Astrology, the author demonstrates his gift for presenting complex ideas simply, clearly and with a sparkling wit that makes this book as entertaining as it is instructive. This is at once an invaluable companion for the student or practitioner and a fascvinating insight for the general reader.

    The book presents astrology as a form of active meditation where we contemplate whatever is arising with expectancy, receptivity, and conscious use of will to shape what unfolds. The author presents meditations on the spiritual lessons of the planets and zodiacal signs, and, with the plentiful use of case histories, describes the technique of symbol amplification, which enables us to unfold the deepest meanings of chart symbols. The book ends with a discussion of astrology as a spiritual practice, a training for perfection that can instill qualities such as discernment, humor, steadiness in times of suffering, and an expanded capacity to love."This book embraces the aims of both therapeutic astrology and the meditative experience. Greg Bogart’s brilliant text is a ray of divine light that teaches us to use astrology with consciousness and intention for our highest spiritual evolution."—Dennis Harness, Ph.D., President, American College of Vedic Astrology"This is the real astrology. People who learn astrology should first learn this. Greg Bogart shows that people who study astrology need to have a spiritual practice, to meditate. They need to connect to their innate spirituality, and to a higher power. Only then can astrology help them, not otherwise."—Chakrapani Ullal, renowned Vedic Astrologer"If you want to know how astrological interpretation really works, if you desire to be able to read a chart in depth, then you must read this book, as it is one of the best books ever written about astrology. I have practiced astrology for many years, and really don’t read lots of books on it anymore. Most of them are written for beginners, or are sun sign books, which really don’t explain this discipline at all. Some are poorly written, or are extremely judgmental, or they repeat what others have already said. Yet a few out there are jewels. There are the great teachings of Rudhyar, perhaps the greatest astrologer since Ptolemy; he has transformed astrology forever. And there are others that I am not going to discuss here. Believe me, Astrology and Meditation deserves to be on that must-read list. It was introduced quietly into the world (in 2002), and it is still almost unknown. Some books are born that way. Someday everyone will know about it, because excellence always rises to the top. Greg Bogart is a philosopher, a psychotherapist, a psychologist, a university professor, a practitioner of many spiritual esoteric disciplines, including astrology. He pours all of his knowledge, acquired from years of study and practice, into this book. Moreover, he pours his heart into it too. That means that it is an experiential book: If you read and study its chapters, I mean really live in it as one must do with any profound book, then you will come to know more about astrology than ever before, and you will, if reading charts, see far deeper into any chart that you examine. You will give better readings than ever gave in your life. When books of heart fill our soul, that’s just how it works. If you are employing astrology for healing, for growth, for counseling, or just studying it out of a general philosophical interest, you should get this book, read it, and absorb it.."—Stuart Walker, review in Aspects Magazine

    Full description

    Drawing from the word s origins as lifting the veil, Meade shows how corporate scandals, stalemated elections and colossal frauds are part of peeking behind the veils of culture and seeing the diminishing of the world. However chaotic conditions may become, this global wasteland is not found to be hopeless. By turning to ancient traditions, including the Native American myth: Why the World Doesn t End, Meade pulls surprising threads of inspiration and meaning from the unraveling of the contemporary world. From the darkest issues of the day, there emerge threads of individual purpose from which we can begin to weave elements of cultural renewal. Once taking hold of these subtle Threads of Life, there s no stopping the momentum as Meade gathers fresh inspiration from the cloth of stories, dreams, poetry and old ideas waiting to serve again the needs of both nature and culture. Challenging and full of surprises, this tour de force connects breaking news with mythic insights. By the end, the listener has traveled to indigenous, indelible sources of deep intelligence and wry wisdom from the ancient well springs of Africa, Ireland, the true Jerusalem, and the common cave of the human heart. Listeners exclaim: "A gift beyond measure, valuable not only to me personally, but to the world." "A work of generosity and fierce dancing engagement; creates an instant energy field that resonates with rhythm and joy."

    S. "Foreseeing the Future" tells the dramatic story of Adams' life, her career and marriage, arrests for fortune-telling and radio stardom. The author documents her forecasts and analyzes when she may have embellished her claims. (Updated 2019 author edition).

    Horary astrology shares with martial arts training the teaching of a combination of method and intuition. In both, repetitive practice results not merely in good technique, but ultimately in Art that goes beyond all technique. Horary possesses this martial quality because it is the only branch of Astrology that functions exclusively in the moment. With nativities, we are always going beyond the birth moment with transits, progressions, etc. Because Horary is immediate, its skills must be sharper, and cut deeper. The purpose of this work is to present the technique of Horary, viewed through the lens of Western Classical Astrology. By the time you finish reading this, you will have a good understanding of how Classical Astrology works, how Horary works, the kinds of Questions that Horary can answer, and the approaches that are available to answering those questions.
