This book explores an area of contemporary religion, spirituality and popular culture which has not so far been investigated in depth, the phenomenon of astrology in the modern west. Locating modern astrology historically and sociologically in its religious, New Age and millenarian contexts, Nicholas Campion considers astrology's relation to modernity and draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with leading modern astrologers to present an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of New Age ideology. This book challenges the notion that astrology is either 'marginal' or a feature of postmodernism. Concluding that astrology is more popular than the usual figures suggest, Campion argues that modern astrology is largely shaped by New Age thought, influenced by the European Millenarian tradition, that it can be seen as an heir to classical Gnosticism and is part of the vernacular religion of the modern west.

Take a step forward into a new universe of astrological interpretation, when you shift focus from Earth-centered charts to Sun-focused interpretations, in The Sun at the Center by Philip Sedgwick. The paths of astrology and astronomy diverged during the Renaissance and the Age of Reason as more facts and data became available. People relied less on intuition and more on the powers of observations enhanced with more powerful telescopes. Curiously, astrology began—who knows how many millennia ago—as a strictly observational art. When people could observe more, they said that the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the solar system. Old astrology didn't suddenly stop working with the advent of heliocentric awareness. Because we live on the Earth, geocentric astrology makes sense—no scientific advancement can nullify it. But, if we can create a system where the planets and signs are seen in relation to the Earth, we can do the same with the Sun. The question is, how do we come up with astrology from a Sun-centered perspective? The Sun at the Center answers that question. ·Learn how discover the heliocentric positions of the planets ·Ideal for use in mundane astrology and analysis of spontaneous mass behavior ·Adds new information to geocentric astrological interpretations ·Provides a new way for looking at individuals ·Discover how solar activity influences revolutionary actions The Sun at the Center is a complete primer of heliocentric astrology. It can be used by itself, giving new insights, or in combination with geocentric astrology to enhance and expand upon what you already know. The Sun at the Center takes astrology in a new direction and back to its origins. Join this journey when you get The Sun at the Center.

A Human Design chart offers an astonishingly accurate guide to your personality, as well as direction and counsel on how each individual can deal with challenges in their life.

This classic astrology text, revered by beginners and professional astrologers alike, is now available in a Weiser Classics edition. “The most important single contribution of twentieth-century astrology is that astrology is not a map of one’s fixed destiny but is a potential map of the unfolding of the authentic, higher self.” —Robert Hand, from the foreword Saturn’s darker persona is recognized universally in myth and fairytale. In this classic astrology text, renowned astrologer and Jungian analyst Liz Greene offers a fresh perspective on how to handle the influence of this much-maligned astrological symbol. In Saturn, Greene shows us how the frustrating experiences connected to this planet can be turned into opportunities for greater insight and meaning in our lives. Saturn, she says, symbolizes a psychic process—one that allows us to utilize the experience of pain for self-discovery and a more fulfilling and complete life. Greene retraces Saturn’s character through sign, house, aspect, and synastry in a brilliant analysis that reveals his other face: that of the initiator who, for the price of our honesty with ourselves, offers us greater consciousness, self-understanding, and, eventually, freedom.
