 In
this slim volume, Rudhyar eloquently
describes the 13 steps one takes
when beginning The
Practice of Astrology As A Technique
in Human Understanding,
starting with an exploration of
what the study is about and then
assuming personal responsibility
for the use of one's knowledge.
He moves on to discuss the meaning
of the signs and houses as parts
of a 12-fold cycle of development,
the meaning of the planets in relation
to the solar system as a whole,
a dynamic understanding of planetary
cycles (aspects) and so much more.
This is a beautifully simplified
introduction to Rudhyar's approach
to astrology which I highly recommend. Read The

This
volume originally published in
1936 is as relevant today as it
was then. It was in this book that
Rudhyar first coined the term humanistic
astrology. In
The Astrology of Personality Rudhyar
tells us that the immediate purpose
of astrology is not to predict
events, but rather to bring a message
of order, of form, revealing
the
meaning of individual life struggles—transforming
chaos into cosmos. Presenting
astrology as a symbolic system,
Rudhyar uses many concepts expressed
in Eastern philosophy (particularly
the concept of opposites embodied
in the I Ching) combined with modern
psychological theories to transform
how astrology is applied today.

In
the 1930's Marc Edmund Jones and
his psychic friend Elsie Wheeler,
together formulated the 360 Sabian
Symbols, each associated with a
zodiacal degree. In An
Astrological Mandala: The Cycles
of Transformation and Its 360 Symbolic
Phases Rudhyar reveals
the structure inherent in this
cyclic series which formalizes
and reveals the archetypal meaning
of each degree in relation
to the zodiac as a whole. Rudhyar
discusses their significance in
the birth chart and demonstrates
how these symbols can be used as
a divination tool not
unlike the tarot cards, or a contemporary I
Ching. Order this book online.
