Measuring the Night: Evolutionary Astrology and the Keys to the Soul, Vol. 2

by Jeffrey Wolf Green, Steven Forrest

Astrology, sacred psychology and reincarnation come together seamlessly in the hands of two of the world's premier metaphysical astrologers. Jeffrey Green's work 'mirrors the eternal realities of the soul', according to the leading Danish astrology magazine St Jernerne. Sting calls Steven Forrest's work 'as intelligent and cogent as it is poetic'. Based on the transcripts of a series of workshops that Green and Forrest gave together, this book pushes the ancient symbols of astrology to new heights of insight, lucidly and compellingly showing us how the soul's long history is reflected in the birth chart. Beneath the seeming randomness of life, there is a clear and meaningful order. This book provides the Rosetta Stone for unravelling it. The lecture format is warm, personal and informal, with lots of audience interaction. Forrest and Green team up to analyse the chart of a workshop participant volunteer, just as they would that of a client who had come for a reading.

About the author

Jeffrey Wolf Green has been called the founder of Evolutionary Astrology because he first started to lecture on the revolutionary astrological paradigm in 1977 after receiving a dream from the spiritual master Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda’s guru. In that dream the entire paradigm of Evolutionary Astrology was conveyed to Jeffrey.

This was the first time in astrology’s long history that a specific paradigm was realized that allowed for an understanding of the evolutionary progression of a Soul from life to life. Jeffrey lectured all over the world on Evolutionary Astrology from 1977 to 2001. He established Evolutionary Astrology schools in a number of countries and wrote books on Evolutionary Astrology.

The first of these, Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul, Volume I was published in 1984. It has been in continuous print ever since and has become one of the all-time best selling astrology books. Translations have been made into French, German, Dutch, Chinese, Bulgarian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Serbian and other languages.

Volume II, Pluto: The Soul’s Evolution through Relationships was published in 1998 and has been in continuous print.

A third volume, Essays in Evolutionary Astrology: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul, was published in 2010. Essays was compiled by his daughter, Deva Green, from transcriptions of workshops Jeffrey gave over the years. It covers topics that are part of Jeffrey’s Evolutionary Astrology paradigm that were either not covered in depth or in some cases at all in his original two volumes.

Deva also compiled many other books by him based on his teachings over the years which include Neptune: Whispers From Eternity, The Structure Of The Soul, Relationships: Our Essential Needs, Medical Astrology, Lucifer: The Influence Of Evil In The Horoscope, and Uranus: Freedom From The Known.

Since starting his original Pluto School in 1994, Jeffrey had many EA students, a number of whom are now professional EA astrologers. He personally counseled over 30,000 clients in his lengthy career. This exposure to so many Souls from so many different backgrounds and orientations allowed him to come to the deepest possible understandings of the nature of the Soul. He communicated these insights through all of his teachings.
