The Anatomy of Fate: Astrology and Kabbalah

by Z'ev Ben Shimon Halevi

This revised edition with its additional captions and diagrams, sets out the philosophy of astrology. This tradition dates back to Ur of the Chaldees, the home of Abraham the father of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical line. Applying celestial symbols and archetypal images, the metaphysical background to this ancient form of psychology, human development and cosmic reality fuses the medieval version into a modern comprehension of a profound esoteric system. It is one thing to interpret a birth chart but another to perceive what astrology is really about.

Reviews

[Catherine Goshen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This 192 page paperback is a clearly written and thought-provoking look at broader astrological influences. Be prepared to shift your perspective somewhat as Z’ev Ben Shimon Halevi (Warren Kenton) touches on topics such as the integration of the physical, psychological and spiritual levels in the horoscope. “A person is much older than his body. His memory goes back before birth and he will continue to fill his memory beyond death, however his current life and the problems he has to solve, and the talents he has to develop are indicated in the birth chart of the current life. This is the real importance of the individual natal horoscope.” A worthwhile read for anyone seriously interested in Astrology from a higher perspective.

Boring, pompously written, hard to finish. The concepts are explained very clearly and he communicates his ideas in a well structured way, however, it is very much rooted in Jewish doctrine. In hindsight, this was to be expected.
