"Our job is to lovingly and consciously cooperate with the forces at work on this globe at this time. Astrology provides a way to link the individual with a conscious attunement to the planetary forces that are part of and affect the whole."
More than fifteen years ago, Alan Oken pioneered the development of New Age astrology with the publication of three books collected in this comprehensive edition. Now, newly updated, Alan Oken's Complete Astrology charts the cosmological pathway to greater personal fulfillment and spiritual attunement through a deeper, more intuitive understanding of our own power--and the age we live in.
Featuring state-of-the-art astrological charts and diagrams, line drawings, charts of contemporary celebrities, an exhaustive bibliography and much more, this new edition of the classic trilogy is one of the most accessible and informative guides to the heavens ever written. For beginners and experts alike, Alan Oken's Complete Astrology is your key to understanding the laws of the new planetary age.
I love symbolic language and am more comfortable with the Tarot than astrology. About 20 years ago I studied with a well-known teacher who uses astrology in terms of Jungian symbolism as an archetypal process rather than any kind of fortune-telling. She gave me this book and I use it as a reference. It is extremely well-written and aimed at those who are educated, literate and follow an esoteric path. If one views astrology in terms of symbolic language this can be an eye-opening book.
referenced a bunch of this in order to analyze people's charts... still don't quite understand everything about astrology but i will continue referencing and learning from this !! also i needed to get this off of my "currently reading" shelf because i have like 2o books there and im certainly not actively reading 20 books i just sometimes read the first part of a book and then set it aside for a while
