Campbell advised everyone to live authentically by “following

myths that guide us, and end up in the dark. This book is
a light in that darkness, a guide to our own natural talents, aptitudes
and potential. Includes 30 minor asteroids, Nodes, Vertex
and Aries point with a special section on Eros and transits. Identify
and boost your natural talents! |
Richard
Idemon's The Magic Thread Weiser,
1996 This book is a transcript of the late Richard Idemon's six
day seminar given tin 1986 on Mythology, Psychology, Astrology
and Methodology. He lectures on astrological interpretation through
the lens of depth psychology and ancient myth. Idemon, a wonderful
speaker and teacher, greatly missed, explores the horoscope as
if it were a labyrinth and directs us to ways of discovering
the golden thread that weaves through the complex maze. A
wonderful and insightful reference. |
Howard
Sasportas' The Gods of Change: Pain, Crisis,
and the Transits of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Penguin 1990 This
book is an excellent reference to the outer planet transits via a
psychological approach. His insights do not stop there though as
Sasportas gives us his spiritual insights and deep knowledge of ancient
myth and archetypes. This book is intelligently written, as are all
his works, offering a chance to learn from one of the most insightful
and compassionate astrologers of the 20th century.

Liz
Green's The Astrology of Fate: Weiser 1984.
This book offers a deep and rich insight into psychological astrology,
influenced by the great Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung. Here
she explores, through myth, depth analysis, chart examples and
case histories the complex and compelling aspect of Pluto as the
daemon of FATE. Liz tackles this most complex and compelling problem
with an open and sensitive mind. A must for anyone contemplating
the nature of fate vs free will. |
Joseph
Campbell's Myths to Live By Penguin
1993 This is just one of the many books writing by this magnificent
thinker and teacher. Joseph Campbell brought the ancient myths
and stories to the 20th century, allowing us to understand
the archetypal patterns of the soul. The function
of mythological symbols is to give you a sense of "Aha! Yes.
I know what it is, it's myself." This
is what it's all about, and then you feel a kind of centering,
centering, centering all the time. And whatever you do can be discussed
in relationship to this ground of truth. -Joseph Campbell

Joanne
Wickenburg's Your Hidden Powers Intercepted Signs
and Retrograde Planets. AFA 1992 Joanne Wickenburg has a brilliant
teaching style that translates easily into the written word.
Her she explores the often misunderstood qualities and meanings
of intercepted signs and duplicated ones, as well as planets
in retrograde motion. Here she offers the 'key' to working with
interceptions and retrograde motion to help readers unlock and
use this complex energy. Transiting retrograde planets are also
discussed, pointing out the strength of these transits and and
natal positions.

Stephen
Arryo's Relationships & Life Cycles CRCS
2nd ed. 1993 More transcripts from lectures given in the 1980's
this text is rich with insight, humor and warmth. As Arroyo says, "Sometimes
one must concentrate on tuning in on the LIVING nature of ideas
by having fun with them, and this can often be more significant
for students of astrology than systematic and dry attempts to
be deep and meaningful". His work is neither dry nor
boring but rich with meaning and plenty of 'Ah ha"!

Kinstler's The Moon Under her Feet HarperSanFrancisco
1991 This feminist retelling of the conception, birth, life and
death of Christ as narrated by Mary Magdalene may cause some
uproar in Christian circles. Let it. It is about time the true
nature of the Magdalenes, the temple priestesses that worship
Innana, Ishtar, Isis, Ahserah, are honored.
Kinstler, a professor of philosophy, mines the literature of
myth to make this lyrically written interpretation come to life.
She provides notes and a bibliography as reference.

Jessica
Murray’s Soul Sick Nation Self-published 2006. Jung
once said that if something is wrong with society, then we need
to look at the individual and if something is wrong with the
individual, we need to look in the mirror. Jessica Murray offers
insights in both directions by her careful and articulate exploration
of a collective in its adolescence. Her political awareness is
as strong and capable as her metaphysical and astrological acumen.
This book pinpoints not only the distress of a country but also
the potential for healing. Penetrating and vivid with plenty of
example charts and transits. To Purchase

Jim
Lewis, Kenneth Irving, Erin sullivan's (forward) The Psychology
of Astro*Carto*Graphy Penguin
1997 A*C*G is one of the most exciting concepts to come out
of astrology in the recent year. Put simply, when you move
to another location - to settle down or for a holiday or just
traveling through, different parts of your birth chart are
stimulated. This book helps you discover where in the world
you are affected and how. Not only can you better understand
your current location but you can look at a world map and learn
where you might find more piece, more romance, more adventure
or better career opportunities. Highly recommended.

Ivy
Goldstein Jacobson's Simplified Horary Astrology Self-published
1960. Ivy wrote this book at age 67, and just as her myriad
other tomes, she typed it out by hand and had it bound—she
was her
own editor, publisher and author! This work offers those interested
in the art of Horary Astrology an invaluable tool. Here she
discusses each house, sign and aspect, the rules for reading
various questions, extensive rulerships and explicit chart
examples for each chapter. The style is ‘old school’ of
course--Ivy grew up in the early 1900’s. Her approach
may be full of binary opposites and gender biases, as Lilly
before her, but she was a master of the art and still has much
to teach.

Richard
Idemon's Through the Looking Glass A
search for self in the mirror of Relationships. Weiser 1992
Another outstanding work by Idemon, this also is a copy of
transcripts of lectures painstakingly edited by Howard Sasportas.
He leads us through the natal chart to the well from
which springs our personal and family myths. He shows us how
to find new ground, in our relationships and in ourselves.
A brilliant writer and teacher, his works live on for all students
and practitioners to benefit from.

Liz
Greene's Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil Weiser
1976 One of Liz's earlier worked and most insightful. Through
the lens of Jungian Psychology, she offers us a 'new look'
at what Saturn needs, wants and has to offer not only in
the natal chart but through synastry and by transit as well.
With her powerful voice and rich background of mythology
and analytical psychology, this book is essential reading
for anyone wanting to go beyond the understanding of basic
'sun sign' astrology and dip into a greater sea of understanding.
Very handy to review during those 'every 7 year' Saturn transits
that we all experience.
