Astrology in the Era of Uncertainty

<p>We live in a difficult time. The world is changing in ways that are often complex confusing and disruptive to our lives and that can't easily be anticipated. Within such a world there is a renewed hunger for more direct access to personal gnosis not dependent on external authorities. Each of us craves a reliable internal compass with which to navigate a world that in the throes of very large seemingly insolvable environmental political economic social racial and cultural problems is increasingly uncertain. </p><p> </p><p>While astrology may not be able to directly address these global issues it can help us to cope in meaningful ways by reminding us through an ongoing ever-evolving conversation between psyche and cosmos that we have a place and a purpose in the larger scheme of things. Out of this conversation can come not just a clearer sense of identity and purpose and a greater capacity to effectively navigate one's life but also a communion with numinous sacred mysteries.</p><p> </p><p>This book narrates the history of astrology's co-evolution with science religion and culture over thousands of years and shows how in the postmodern era of increasing uncertainty it can provide a more direct pathway to deep self-knowledge. The author shows how it is possible to go beyond interpretation into a more intimate exploratory relationship to a living cosmos. 472 pages with bibliography and a useful navigational index. </p>
