This work details how the process of spiritual awakening can be understood astrologically, and seeks to fully include the transpersonal throughout the system. In the spirit of 2012 and a "shift in consciousness" this book aims to renew astrology for the 21st Century. It addresses the evolution of consciousness and spiritual growth with many thoughtful innovations and sensible reforms.
The author explores the idea that the most powerful astrological technique is a quiet, meditative mind. 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.
The Astrology of Awakening 2 The book is designed for students and practitioners of astrology interested in a thoroughly spiritual approach to the cosmic art. It provides a step by step breakdown of how we can understand an astrology chart as a journey of maturation and spiritual awakening. The Awakening approach weaves threads from developmental psychology, modern understandings of consciousness, ancient spiritual wisdom, the implications of quantum science, all held within today's knowledge of astronomy. It is the culmination of many years of practice in the counseling room. Highly accessible and readable, The Astrology of Awakening 2, is an ambitious and progressive book. The reader is invited to a whole other perspective or dimension, both in how to examine charts, and also how to connect with clients. Most astrology is understood and framed around personality concerns and preferences. In addition to the relevance of this level, a broader spiritual perspective is the underlying thread of this work. We are awakening into identifying in our connectedness, to see and experience how the external world is a vast canvas in which we project upon. At the soul level, life is a sacred reflection of our psyche. The astrological counselor can learn how to support a client in "meeting self" through all experiences and encounters, to see how the astrology chart itself is animated in our lives. The overarching theme is that we begin in a spiritual child and mature throughout the soul journey. Collectively, we are in a time of paradigm shift towards the inclusion of the metaphysical so we might create a more conscious existence. Astrology can serve as a beacon to light the way forward, and the Awakening approach is ideally suited to meet this goal.

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.
