Astrology Superstition Blind Faith or a Door to the Essential?


Osho - 2013
    From ancient India to the lost civilization of Sumeria, from Pythagoras to Paracelsus to Piccardi, we discover that for thousands of years there has been a thread of awareness of how all things in the universe are interconnected – an awareness that modern physics is still struggling to define in scientific terms today.As Osho says: The universe is a living body, an organic unity. In it, nothing is isolated, all is connected. Whatever is far away is connected to that which is near; nothing is separate. So no one should remain in the fallacy that he is an island: isolated, separate, aloof. Everything is connected to the whole, and everything is all the time affecting others and being affected by others.Astrology aficionados and skeptics alike will find something in this small volume to provoke a new way of looking at what really “makes the world go round.”

Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac


George Washington Carey - 2013
    Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. George Washington Carey (1845-1924) was an American physician known for a number of 1910s 'Chemistry of Life' publications, a subject which he referred to as biochemistry, particularly his 1919 "The Chemistry of Human Life". Carey combined a mixture of religion, astrology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry, themed particularly with a mineral-based theory of human disease, to develop his theories. Carey is popular among the new-age and homeopathic circles. In the context of a person viewed as a "human molecule", Carey was the first to state that a person's body is a "chemical formula in operation." This title is the first part: "Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac", of this classic and later publication; "The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation." With the renewed interest in homeopathy, increased study of astrology and the entrance of the Aquarian Age, this book has gained more importance. It is an attempt to answer all the questions regarding the cell salts.

Lessons in Astrology as Magic


Dana Gerhardt - 2013
    Left brain skills start us on the path, but to read significance in a horoscope, we also need well-developed right-brain skills like intuition and imagination. A good practitioner needs to believe in the invisible world, to recognize how each planet behaves, to know when it’s speaking, or whether it’s currently in the room. A good practitioner needs to sense what happens in the air when people connect with their planets and how to use this encounter to create better futures. A good astrologer is not timid around magic. So that is the aim of this book: to add a little more magic to the process of learning how to read charts."

Astrology and the Rising of Kundalini: The Transformative Power of Saturn, Chiron, and Uranus


Barbara Hand Clow - 2013
    She explains how kundalini energy--the “liquid light of sex” that lies at the base of the spine--is activated during these planetary transits, rising through the chakras and triggering the process of spiritual emergency, and in many cases, a cascade of health, emotional, and relationship problems as well as extreme anxiety. She shows that by understanding these astrological transits, you can be prepared for turbulent periods and successfully navigate them by creatively channeling the spiritual fire of kundalini. Clow provides astrological charts--now updated through 2050 for those born between 1930 and 2000--detailing the cycles of Saturn, Uranus, and Chiron, so you do not need your birth chart to use this book. She explains how to use the charts to predict the onset and completion of each kundalini activation and corresponding crisis. She shares tools for individuals and therapists to cope with the intensity of spiritual emergency and too much fire energy, unblock the chakras, and integrate the power of kundalini for physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. Reflecting on 20 years of success stories since the book’s initial publication, Clow presents a road map for using celestial cycles to navigate positively and productively in times of great life change.

Sky and Symbol


Liz Greene - 2013
    The key to all such systems is symbolism, in which one thing is used to signify, imply, represent, or embody another. The papers included in this volume are all concerned, in one way or another, with various perceptions of the world of celestial phenomena as symbols. These explorations range from art history and analytical psychology to critiques and accounts of astrology, and roam from western to non-western cultures, as well as from the ancient world to the modern. The papers, most of which were given at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David Sophia Centre Conference in Bath, UK, in 2011, provide a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on our understanding of the origins, function, and nature of symbols, especially their use in relation to cultural applications of astronomy, astrology, and the sky.

The Significance of Dreams: The Four States of Consciousness, Dreams and the Astrological Planets


Dane Rudhyar - 2013
    In so doing, composer, astrologer, philosopher Dane Rudhyar draws upon astrological symbolism and the Hindu mystic tradition of the Four States of Consciousness. “From the point of view we are developing,” Rudhyar writes, “one should speak of the ‘dream-state’ and understand its manifold nature before seeking to determine the meaning or lack of meaning of dreams as such. The Hindu yogi distinguished as a rule four states of consciousness. One of them is the waking-state, the highest is a condition of identification with the spirit usually regarded as ‘transcendent’.”This accessible title includes discussions on:*Three Basic Approaches to the Nature of Dreams *The Four "States of Consciousness" *Dreams as Symptoms*Dreams as Expressions of Spiritual Intelligence*Dreams as a Reflection of Spiritual Experience*From Dreams to Complete WakefulnessFrom the section on “Dreams as Symptoms”:“Every human person is a microcosm; that is, a miniature universe. Every human person is within himself a small image of the whole society in the midst of which we live; and all the conflicts and struggles in that society are more or less actively or critically operating within the individual. These facts are brought to the mind of every thinking astrologer; for he or she well knows that the patterns of the birth chart are also those that record the cyclic processes of growth and decay in humanity as a whole, the changing climate, the tides of electro-magnetism affecting our globe and everything on its surface,Seen from such a point of view, dreams represent typical functions in the organism of personality, and these functions correlate with certain sections of the birth-chart. Dreams as symptoms of the painful or tragic results of disharmonic personal and social activity can be characterized by conditions relating to the sixth and twelfth Houses; but there are also dreams of other types which refer to other Houses, all these we shall discuss in the next study.”From “Dreams as Expressions of Spiritual Intelligence”:“In the preceding chapter we defined three basic approaches to the nature of dreams: 1) The archaic or ‘theophanic’ approach considers every dream as the message, always trustable if it could be correctly interpreted, of an infinitely wise Intelligence; 2) The materialistic approach which denies any spiritual source to the dream; and 3) An attitude of reconciliation which establishes four basic states or levels of mind and several categories of dreams. We discussed the main characteristics of the ‘dream-state’ in contrast to the ‘waking-state’ of consciousness, and showed how, in the latter, everything in the human personality is normally brought to a condition of tension and ‘attention to life’ within the framework of the conscious ego and of the will. And when we become unable to maintain this state of purposeful activity, dictated by the life-needs and the problems of successful adjustment (economic, cultural, moral, etc.), we falls asleep.”

Astrology and Cosmology in Early China: Conforming Earth to Heaven


David W. Pankenier - 2013
    In this pioneering text, David W. Pankenier introduces readers to a seriously understudied field, illustrating how astronomy shaped the culture of China from the very beginning and how it influenced areas as disparate as art, architecture, calendrical science, myth, technology, and political and military decision-making. As elsewhere in the ancient world, there was no positive distinction between astronomy and astrology in ancient China, and so astrology, or more precisely, astral omenology, is a principal focus of the book. Drawing on a broad range of sources, including archaeological discoveries, classical texts, inscriptions and paleography, this thought-provoking book documents the role of astronomical phenomena in the development of the 'Celestial Empire' from the late Neolithic through the late imperial period.
