Alchemy: The Soul of Astrology

by Clare Martin

An alchemical approach seeks to release the latent potential which resides within the individual and within the cosmos. There was never any question that the work of the alchemists depended upon a knowledge of the planets and their cycles, since alchemical transformations could only be successful if carried out at the astrologically appropriate times. This book has been steadily fermenting and evolving for over twenty-five years, and as such it represents a true alchemical process. It has gone from being an idea to a passion, and then a project and now it is a fully-fledged book. Learn firstly about the mystical process of alchemy, and then discover how it deepens our understanding of the transits of the outer planets to the natal chart. A fascinating book that deserves a place in every astrologer's library.

This is now one of my favourite books. It’s hard to write this review because there is so much that I love about it. Clare has the ability to turn otherwise nuanced and abstract concepts into simple explanations without compromising their complexity. Understanding Astrology’s connection to Alchemy, helps us to deepen our understanding of Astrology’s symbols. This is the reason why it’s on my students’ must read, list.

It's a book that describes the relations between Alchemy and Astrology as well as the myths incorporated in them. Every self respected astrologer must read it.

As a 23 year old now, I’m pleased to find many things inside this book are things I’ve thought of just from staring at my ceiling as a teenage girl. I guess that is what being a self identified teenage witch who worships Hermes does to you.

To say I will re-read this again very soon would be an understatement. I almost flipped back to the first page to start it all over immediately after reading the last page. So illuminating and healing.
