This volume by the Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov is not an astrological handbook. The Zodiac here discussed is the Book of Books in which everything is recorded, and the constellations and planets are the hieroglyphs, the sacred letters which reveal, to those who know how to decipher them, how mankind and the world were created, how they evolve hand in hand and how their inner structure is identical. Every human being who becomes aware of his kinship with the universe begins to feel the need to cultivate his inner life in order to rediscover, within himself, that cosmic plenitude symbolized to perfection by the circle of the Zodiac.
The Bulgarian philosopher, teacher and spiritual Master, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (1900-1986), moved to France in 1937. His work deals with the many aspects of initiatic science, but says, ‘Through my teaching, I want to give you some fundamental knowledge about human beings: how they are constructed, their relationship with nature, the exchanges they must make with others and with the universe so they can drink from the springs of divine life.’
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Macedonian philosopher, pedagogue, alchemist, mystic, magus and astrologer. He was a disciple of Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno), the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.
An excellent resource for those who want to get out of classical/everyday/routine astrology... Aivanhov puts astrology into life by synthesizing cultural and religious accumulation. I think just reading it once may not enough. It needs to be read with a high concentration and open mind.
