    The lunar mansions lie at the very origins of Hindu astrology, and they are rich in the myth, legend and lore of ancient India. Kenneth Johnson, mythologist and astrologer, provides us with a colorful introduction to these "mansions of the moon." The lunar mansions are introduced and explained as an entire system or astrological paradigm, and each mansion is vividly described so that the reader, even one with the only most basic knowledge of astrology, can come to understand their own birth mansions. The second part of the book explores the mysteries of the lunar mansions and leads the reader upon a journey through ancient myths and stories to reveal how the mansions embody the life cycle of an archaic Goddess, and the Alchemical Wedding. Beyond that, they constitute an authentic "calendar of the stars" which is not only in the sky but within each and every one of us.
