Book Description
In Astrology: Understanding the Birth Chart, Kevin Burk takes you step-by-step from the core basics to the finer complexities of chart interpretation while avoiding sidetracks into obscure techniques and fuzzy thinking. As a teacher, Burk also understands that a real grasp of the subject entails more than just learning the techniques-it also involves grasping the underlying principles that make those techniques valid. Astrology: Understanding the Birth Chart is designed to be useful to all students of astrology, from beginners to more advanced practitioners, and will help you develop an integrated, synthesized approach to understanding the birth chart. You will discover how classical astrology can enrich your understanding of the planets, signs, and houses. You will explore the meaning of the Lunar Nodes, eclipses, the angles, retrograde planets, and aspect patterns. You will also learn how to identify key themes in the chart, and how to relate the different aspects and elements together to gain a holistic understanding of the birth chart-and of the individual. An up-to-date listing of astrological organizations and software programs is included that offers a wealth of resources for any astrologer. In short, this is a well-designed course that provides a solid foundation for anyone who is interested in practicing astrology quickly and with confidence. While many books at this level simply give you a set of techniques and ready-made interpretations, this book will give you a deeper grasp of an art and science that has its expression in the world around us, but its roots in the invisible world of primal origins.

This book is the first comprehensive guide to the Moon's nodes--probably the most misunderstood points in astrology. The nodes are not planets, but the points on your birth chart where the orbit of the Moon around the Earth crosses the ecliptic. The nodes are the key to understanding your spiritual purpose for this lifetime. The South Node reveals the lessons, talents, and abilities you mastered in past lives, while the North Node shows you how to best use your past-life skills for spiritual growth, happiness, and success in this life. The Complete Node Book presents a new and empowering perspective on the nodes. It defines and analyzes the specific lessons and challenges presented by each of the 144 possible placements of the nodes. Both sign and house placement of the nodes are considered for extraordinarily insightful and accurate interpretations. For beginning astrologers, this guidebook provides easy-to-find personal interpretations and a free birth chart offer. For advanced astrologers, it will serve as the definitive reference manual on the Moon's nodes.

Apollo in the Age of Aquarius
Author: Neil M. Maher
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674977823
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Winner of the Eugene M. Emme Astronautical Literature Award A Bloomberg View Must-Read Book of the Year A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year “A substance-rich, original on every page exploration of how the space program interacted with the environmental movement, and also with the peace and ‘Whole Earth’ movements of the 1960s.” —Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution The summer of 1969 saw astronauts land on the moon for the first time and hippie hordes descend on Woodstock. This lively and original account of the space race makes the case that the conjunction of these two era-defining events was not entirely coincidental. With its lavishly funded mandate to put a man on the moon, the Apollo mission promised to reinvigorate a country that had lost its way. But a new breed of activists denounced it as a colossal waste of resources needed to solve pressing problems at home. Neil Maher reveals that there were actually unexpected synergies between the space program and the budding environmental, feminist and civil rights movements as photos from space galvanized environmentalists, women challenged the astronauts’ boys club and NASA’s engineers helped tackle inner city housing problems. Against a backdrop of Saturn V moonshots and Neil Armstrong’s giant leap for mankind, Apollo in the Age of Aquarius brings the cultural politics of the space race back down to planet Earth. “As a child in the 1960s, I was aware of both NASA’s achievements and social unrest, but unaware of the clashes between those two historical currents. Maher [captures] the maelstrom of the 1960s and 1970s as it collided with NASA’s program for human spaceflight.” —George Zamka, Colonel USMC (Ret.) and former NASA astronaut “NASA and Woodstock may now seem polarized, but this illuminating, original chronicle...traces multiple crosscurrents between them.” —Nature

Target Aquarius

ISBN: 1499009003
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
The sixties saw massive shifts in consciousness as a higher authority was setting the stage for “The Coming.” Camelot was meant to fall, with the 5th Dimension singing background, as Petula sings curious lyrics to a “distant love” while Target changed its logo of 6 elements to that of 3 in preparation. The wizard then created it’s polar 6 in the hills of OZark, and egos shop as if nothing approaches. The “Inconvenient Truth” of climate change is however, an allegory of Earth changes as we enter new energy fields as we align at the plane of galactic center, ushering the death of 3-D Iron. The smoke in the shape of a galaxy on its cover speak to the aware, confirming it to be an Alaôr , along with Al’s assertion that he took the initiative in creating the Internet, as it too is an allegory for the coming Aquarian awareness. “The weather, very peculiar, Don’t you think?” Like a Bronze Phoenix, the organic 5D NWO will “Spring” from the wintry rubble of rust, with its 4 letters, that was the dark polarities “mechanized” nwo. This mystical setting is for my fellow Prodigals, “to whom it is given,” who are waking up to the emptiness of their 3D Las Vegash folly here in the 7-11 School of Duality! As the new millennium began, the ultimate paradox was played out. Understated symbolism with an ironic twist, as a president tells his countrymen to go out and shop after 9-11 with wars planned, while Target, in contradiction, airs a television commercial that has nothing to do with shopping, but everything to do with our spiritual advancement beyond this 3D setting. A logo and a thirty-second commercial that defy any explanation in terms of ordinary marketing. A divine message, seen by billions and “not seen”. If You have not retreated, then perhaps it is Your time to take this information and prepare. It is the easiest, and most Sirius, choice you will ever make to finally understand why, there will be a cleansing "Reckoning", and what cosmological purpose it serves with a "Final Judgement", which I had rejected until I discovered the purpose it serves, as a very precise program that oversees the development of new Stars and their Darker polar partners, within the expanding Cosmos. Learn the real meaning of 9-11 and 7-11, and why “The Fall” of Man, the Angels and Lucifer was preordained and had to occur for this “Polar” expansion. When you Know Yourself, you will understand your own “Arc” frequency and how to adjust it, making you the Master of your game! This was the “Ark” Noah was “building” to adjust and align his with the “higher frequency” of the next Age, discovering the Narrow Gate! Time has come to pay attention to the “invisible” Man behind the curtain and the real identity of the “visible” Lucifer and the real truth of the “Light-Bearer”, that was hidden from the children until the few were ready for adult concepts. Time to be aware of our Mother and know “You’ve always had the power”, and that no “evil” can steal your “sole”, Dorothy! The multitude of clue filled counterfeit current “events” point to This, Sign of the Times! Oh thank heaven for 7-11, as one play concludes, and your new front row seat to “A Star is Born”!

ISBN: 9781620501740
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
The shift from the Piscean to Aquarian age involves an integration of an emerging energy, a force pulsing in the lightworkers of today. This is the call of the Wounded Healer, which has resounded in the hearts of yoga, chi kung, and meditation practitioners, massage therapists, energy workers, coaches, artists, and musicians-all of whom are learning the lesson of the emerging Aquarian Age: in order to heal others and Mother Earth herself, I must first heal my own deepest wounds. Thus we are birthing the Shamanic Artist, crafting our abilities to merge the lower and higher selves. The ascension process to the higher vibrations of Aquarius depends on our willingness to embrace our creative potential. And that creator within each of us must now confront the wounded aspects of the soul, in order to offer back the healing of that very pain through sacred and dedicated service. In an age of prophecy, uncertainty, and excitement, shamanic astrologer and multimedia artist, VerDarLuz, weaves the inspiring narrative of the Wounded Healer with instruction from world mythology, alchemy, archetypal history, personal coaching, buddhist wisdom, contemporary film, and shamanic symbolism.

Madame Clairevoyant's Guide to the Stars
Author: Claire Comstock-Gay
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062913352
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
"A fresh, profound, and fun way to look at all things astro while also making spot-on observations about your pop culture faves." —Cosmopolitan A soulful exploration of the twelve astrological signs embodied by our living “stars”—from divas to philosophers, poets to punks—and the ways they can help us better understand ourselves and each other, from the wildly popular astrology columnist for New York magazine’s The Cut. Whether you believe in it or not, astrology’s job has never been to give us a preordained vision of the future, nor to sort us into twelve neat personality types, but to provide the tools and language for delving into our weirdest, best, most thorny contradictions, and for understanding ourselves and each other in our full complexity. The stars and the planets then are more like mirrors that show us who we are, that give us an understanding of how to be and how to move through the world; how certain people do it differently, and what we can learn by studying them. In Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars, Claire Comstock-Gay brings the sky down to Earth and points to our popular “stars”—from Aretha Franklin to Mr. Rogers, from poets in Cancer to punk singers in Scorpio—to reveal what the sky has to teach us about being human. In this wise, lyrically written guide, she examines the twelve astrological signs, illuminating the ways each one is more complicated, beautiful, and surprising than you might have been told. Claire suggests that actually it’s okay, and even important, to be a seeker, to hunger for self-knowledge, and if astrology is the vehicle for that inquiry, so be it. Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars offers a clear introduction to the basics and an innovative new framework for creatively using astrology to illuminate our lives on earth. It’s a road map to our internal world, yes, but Claire also reminds us that it’s still our job to navigate it. Combining both heavenly insights and the earthly wisdom of writers like Cheryl Strayed and Heather Havrilesky and the poetry of Patricia Lockwood and Mary Oliver, Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars offers a fresh, profound, and fun way to look at ourselves and others, and perhaps see each more clearly. And in that way, this book is not just beautiful, but transformative.
