Astrology in Ancient Mesopotamia: The Science of Omens and the Knowledge of the Heavens
by Michael BaigentA detailed study of the earliest forms of astrology in Mesopotamia and their far-reaching hermetic influences from the Renaissance to the present day• Reveals the roots of modern astrology in the Babylonian science of omens, which was concerned not with individuals but with the state and king• Explores Mesopotamian mythology as it relates to the planets and to astrology• Traces the hermetic transmission of this knowledge over the centuries from Mesopotamia to Egypt to Renaissance ItalyAmong the many significant discoveries excavated from Assyrian king Ashurbanipal’s royal library in Nineveh were tablets documenting the development of Mesopotamian astrology, now recognized as the earliest astrological science.Drawing upon translations of the Nineveh library tablets as well as many other ancient sources, Michael Baigent reveals the roots of modern astrology in the Babylonian science of omens. He explains how astrology in the Babylonian and Assyrian empires was concerned not with individuals but with the king and the state. He shows that by the first dynasty of Babylon, around 1900 to 1600 BC, astrology had become a systematic discipline, the preserve of highly trained specialists intent upon interpreting omens from the movements of planets and stars. He explores Mesopotamian mythology as it relates to the planets and to astrology as well as to Mesopotamian religion, magic, and politics--for the mythology of Babylon and Assyria served the state and thus changed as the state changed. He shows how this ancient form of astrology uniquely represents both Sun and Moon as masculine entities and Saturn (Ninurta) as the principle of order imposed on chaos. He examines the connections between ancient astrology and the symbolism of Western religions, such as how the “Greek” or “Templar” cross may symbolize the Babylonian god Nabu, now known as Mercury.Tracing the hermetic transmission of this knowledge over the centuries from Mesopotamia to Egypt to Florence, Baigent reveals how the religious and magical aspects of early Babylonian cosmological speculation played a significant role in the Renaissance, influencing prominent figures such as Cosimo de Medici, Marsilio Ficino, and Botticelli.
Astrology of Midlife and Aging
by Erin SullivanThe first in-depth analysis of how an individual's natal horoscope reveals the unique challenges and opportunities of midlife. Between the ages of thirty-seven and forty-one, something mysterious takes place within the psyche. Jung called this phase our "unlived life," assuming rightly that midlife did not inaugurate a time of rapid decay, loss of libido, and inevitable death—but rather ushered in a period in which one might review one's life and build upon a strong foundation toward the next phase of adulthood. Acclaimed astrologer Erin Sullivan takes us through the vast changes that astrology reveals as we reach middle age. It is a moment in life that is characterized by the planet Uranus, one filled with opportunities to both rethink the past and move forward toward the future, "witnessing" our lives in the way Uranus connotes. There exist no maps of the terrain—except the natal horoscope. .

Astrology of the Shadow Self: Working with Oppositions in Your Natal Chart
by Maja D'Aoust• Explains how to determine your shadow planets and zodiac signs through the oppositions of your birth chart • Details the meaning and challenges of each shadow counterpart for every astrological sign and planet that appears in a traditional astrological chart • Looks at the alchemical nature of the dark side of the human mind and shadow-work methods for bringing the oppositional self into personal awareness Recently rediscovered by modern psychology, the shadow self was recognized in ancient teachings as an inseparable part of the human being, a vital portion of who we are. The ancient Egyptians regarded working with the shadow as a necessary part of spiritual growth, and shadow work practices are alluded to in the oldest writings. In this practical guide to shadow astrology, Maja D&’Aoust explains how to determine the shadow polarities of your natal chart and explore the hidden wisdom and challenges of the oppositional identity within. She shows how finding your shadow planets is easy—they are the opposite sign of the planets in your birth chart. For example, someone with the sun in Libra will have their shadow sun in Aries. She explains how, just like the traditional planets of astrology, each shadow planet governs a specific area of human activity: Venus shadows speak of tainted love, while Mercury shadows reveal challenges of the mind. Each of these shadow planets presents a specific type of negative challenge that emerges when opposition arises. Providing vivid examples, the author details the meaning of each shadow counterpart for every astrological sign and planet that appears in a traditional astrological chart and explains how to interpret and work with their challenges. In addition to chart interpretation, the author also explores the history of this astrological method, including its roots in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Western magic tradition. She looks at the alchemical nature and subconscious influences of the dark side of the human mind and the shadow-work methods necessary for bringing the oppositional self into personal awareness. Revealing how to interpret astrological charts for personal growth and conscious evolution, this guide invites you to explore the darkness within in order to know the totality of your whole self.

Astrology: A Key to Personality
by Jeff MayoHere is a book for beginners wanting simple instructions on how to interpret a chart, as well as for old hands seeking fresh perspectives, it offers a unique system of self-discovery.Traditionally, astrological texts deal with interpretations of behaviour without worrying about causes. But Jeff Mayo recognized that astrology shows us not only the roots of our behaviour - our response to stress, our survival instincts and our ambitions - but also our potential to achieve fulfilment and reach our goals.His book takes the reader on an exciting adventure of exploration and discovery by which we understand our 'root-being'. Mayo, with forty years' experience in the field, believed astrology is coming of age as a psychological tool rather than a guide to the future, and that it is only a matter of time before it is accepted as the basis for a reconstructed study of human psyche.

Típico, primero empecé a leer mi horóscopo como juego para ver qué decíay de repente absolutamente todas las palabras me empezaron a hacer mucho clic, poco a poco me fue enganchando cada vez más. Lo queempezó como algo casual, pronto se convirtió en algo más constante por querer saber más sobre qué significaba ser Aries (mi signosolar).Cada que veía al carnero en internet, libros, revistas y donde fuera me emocionaba por leer qué significaba haber nacido con ese signo.

Astrología y Literatura: Diálogos cósmicos: Borges - Xul Solar | Pizarnik - S. Ocampo
by Claudia AboafLa amistad entre Jorge Luis Borges y Xul Solar y entre Alejandra Pizarnik y Silvina Ocampo es interpretada en este ensayo experimental a partir de las cartas natales de los escritores, analizadas en sinastría, es decir, estudiadas en relación unas con otras, para revelar la belleza del hacer-con el otro. La autora combina saberes como la astrología y la literatura, pero también recurre a la filosofía y al ecofeminismo socioambiental para darle lugar a lo que enlaza y genera una red de conocimientos. El encuentro entre Jorge Luis Borges y Xul Solar y entre Alejandra Pizarnik y Silvina Ocampo es interpretado en este ensayo experimental a partir de sus cartas natales, estudiadas en relación unas con otras, para revelar la belleza que surge al compartir sus creaciones. Y cómo el arte y la literatura tienden un puente sensible para habitar mundos más complejos. La autora combina los saberes de la astrología y la literatura, pero también recurre a la filosofía y al ecofeminismo socioambiental para darle lugar a lo que enlaza y genera una red de conocimientos. Uno de los puntos fuertes del libro remarca la importancia de reconfigurar el mundo de "las personas y las cosas" a través de los poderosos lazos de las relaciones. Y transmite una tesis central: la carta natal entendida como un código que se despliega en la biosfera -un sistema donde todo lo vivo sucede- y que, al articularse con otras, se expande. A partir de los ejemplos concretos del vínculo entre los pares de artistas, este texto propone una nueva forma de pensarnos que potencia la interacción y repone la visión celeste, sofocada por la civilización. La crítica dijo... «¿Qué leen los astros en las letras? ¿Qué las letras en los astros? Era hora de que alguien lúcido como Claudia Aboaf pusiera en órbita dos mundos que siempre se desearon como locos, y que lo hiciera con las obras y vidas de una banda de freaks como la que armaban Xul, Borges, Silvina Ocampo y Pizarnik».Alan Pauls «El libro de Claudia Aboaf cuestiona los binarismos y los monocultivos mentales, internándose en aquello que, por banal, a veces olvidamos: que la literatura, como arte, es un portal hacia otros mundos, una suerte de "cartografías de una visión cosmogónica". La audacia conceptual y la maestría literaria de la autora se conjugan para ofrecernos un potente diálogo entre dos lenguajes».Maristella Svampa «Recomiendo El ojo y la flor de Claudia Aboaf porque trabaja la lengua con musicalidad y la sintaxis de una manera muy especial y porque se ocupa de temas como el capitalismo tardío y la naturaleza».Gabriela Cabezón Cámara «Un lenguaje riquísimo, envolvente, que resulta tremendamente perturbador precisamente por su ferocidad lírica y que recuerda al de Marosa di Giorgio y Agota Kristoff».Leila Guerriero, sobre El ojo y la flor «Novela sorprendente, El Rey del Agua es fruto de una cuidosa alquimia de materiales [...] un vivo rafting novelesco con fuertes picos de intensidad poética y narrativa».Gerardo Tipitto, Otra Parte «La escritura de Aboaf se desvía de las coordenadas esperables, como los sueños se desvían de nuestra voluntad. Con un lenguaje enrarecido que provoca un clima de zozobra, la escritora pone en escena algo de la capacidad humana de destruir y, aun así, la existencia de gestos que buscan proteger lo salvable».Eugenia Almeida
Astronaut Gods of the Maya: Extraterrestrial Technologies in the Temples and Sculptures
by Erich Von DänikenA visual tour of the evidence for ancient astronauts in Mesoamerica• Includes more than 200 full-color photographs from the author’s personal archives• Details the astronaut technology--helmets, tanks, hoses, keyboards, rockets--clearly illustrated in stone carvings and statues from Mesoamerican sites such as Palenque, Chichén Itzá, and Teotihuacán in Mexico and Tikal in Guatemala • Explores the similarities of Maya pyramids with those at Kanchipuram in South IndiaSharing more than 200 never-before-published full-color photographs from his personal archives, bestselling author Erich von Däniken provides clear evidence of ancient alien contact and technology among the archaeological sites of the Maya as well as other ancient cultures, such as the Aztecs and the Hindus. He reveals how the “gods” immortalized in Maya sculptures, carved reliefs, and myth were not supernatural beings but technologically advanced visitors, astronauts who gifted the Maya with their sophisticated understanding of calendar time and cosmology. He explains how, with no explanation for their technologies and origins, the Maya interpreted the visitors as divine and, thus, the “gods” were born.Examining stone carvings and statues from many Mesoamerican sites such as Palenque, Chichén Itzá, and Teotihuacán in Mexico and Tikal in Guatemala, von Däniken reveals the astronaut technology--helmets, tanks, hoses, keyboards, rockets--clearly illustrated in these ancient depictions of the gods. He explores the similarities of Plato’s writings with the Chilam Balam books of Mexico and compares “ancient alien” features in myths around the world, paralleling how mercury is mentioned as a fuel ingredient of flying machines in ancient India with the discovery of mercury at Copán, Palenque, and Teotihuacán as well as in the grave of a Chinese emperor and two Egyptian graves on Nabta Playa. Illustrating the similarities of Mayan step pyramids with those of Kanchipuram in South India, the author explains how Mayan pyramids are crowned with a small temple, residence, or landing field of the gods, while the pyramids of South India are topped with a Vimana, a “godly” flying vehicle.Offering visual proof of the ancient world’s contact with advanced alien visitors they recorded as gods and teachers, von Däniken also raises the question of the “heavenly” origins of royal families and dynasties in Mesoamerica, Egypt, and beyond, revealing how the Mayan kings of Palenque and the pharaohs of Egypt may be descendants of the “gods.”

Astronomical Mindfulness: Your Cosmic Guide to Reconnecting with the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Planets
by Sarah Scoles Christopher G. de PreeUsing the power of the sun, moon, stars, and planets, this unique, illustrated guide is filled with engaging exercises that deepen your knowledge of the solar system, help you take necessary pauses every day, and foster a renewed sense of presence in the universe.Thousands of years ago, when we humans lived together in communal caves, we told stories about the stars. When we later took to the seas, we used stellar positions to navigate and pinpoint our place in the world. When we eventually stopped migrating and settled on land, we relied on the constellations and the Sun to plant and sustain crops. Yet today, we modern humans have lost this deep connection to the cosmos that was once central to our daily lives.Astronomical Mindfulness helps us reconnect to the solar system once more, guiding us through the fundamental ways in which our planet moves through the solar system and how these motions determine our perception of time and place. Offering a concise yet in-depth look at the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars, it teaches us to observe and understand the elements comprising the celestial sphere—deepening our lives and helping us become more informed, engaged, and mindful every day.The best part: you don’t need to climb a mountain, visit an observatory, or even own a telescope. From an apartment rooftop to a city park, from your backyard to the window by your desk, the skies are accessible to everyone. Astronomical Mindfulness is a unique tool for personal growth essential to coping in our modern world, enabling us to be more present, more connected, and more relaxed simply by looking up toward the stars.
