This book covers a broad variety of perspectives in Esoteric Astrology (EA), the emerging astrology of the Seven Rays in this Aquarian cycle. From an in depth introduction to EA and the search for soul purpose, to practical astronomy, to the most abstract and arcane cosmologies; there is also an extensive astro-biography which applies many new principles of interpretation. The Science of Initiation is a key subject, as is an astrological consideration of the chakras and their stage of unfoldment in a particular life. For beginners or advanced students, there is a wealth of wisdom contained here that will provide a good reference book for years to come.Will be replaced by smaller format with new ISBN in 2012.
