About this title

About the Author

Beyerl is well-known as an author and educator and, as an astrologer, has served thousands of clients throughout North America. He began teaching in Minneapolis in 1977 and has made guest appearances and taught workshops from coast to coast. Recognized as both a Master Herbalist and Master Astrologer, Beyerl is also the founder of a Mystery School which teaches metaphysical disciplines through The Rowan Tree Church. The Rowan Tree Church believes in the divinity of the Universe and of all creation. In December, 1989, Beyerl set out on a journey, believing he would return to Minneapolis. The Universe, in Her wisdom, had pried him loose, placing him upon a Quest. His journey led him to three years spent teaching in the Los Angeles area which proved highly successful. His journey led him to Kirkland, Washington where he and his partner transformed 1.3 acres into gardens and a classroom. After establishing The Hermit's Grove in the Puget Sound region of Washington, it was time to return to this manuscript and bring it back as a user-friendly second edition. The Beyerls focus their work through The Hermit's Grove which offers certification programs in astrology and herbal medicine, has more than an acre of gardens and wooded areas and is a preserve for sacred land and wisdom.

From the Introduction: Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a map to life? Everything would be much easier if we could anticipate the joys and opportunities and be better prepared for the lessons and pains. We could step around the pitfalls and see through our delusions. And then, consider those periods of hell. We all go through them - no one is exempt and, typically, we waste untold hours in the "why me?" stages, blaming ourselves for imagined failings when this is just "one of those" periods which everyone experiences now and then. Imagine how much further you would get in life if someone alerted you to a coming six month period of difficulty and trial so you would prepare yourself, meet the challenge, grow and prosper. This, my friend, is the goal of this book. When I was young I believed that at some miraculous age life would bring me inner calm. Further, I believed when I reached that magic number I would be fully integrated, happy, know myself and have control over where I was going. My career would be developed (although I had little concept of discipline and commitment). When I was quite young I expected this miracle to take place, possibly, when I turned 18 (isn't that what I had been led to believe by society?). But when I turned 18 the magic age became 21. Later I hoped for it to take place at least in my twenties! Obviously, I finally learned that life simply does not work that way. Hopefully, we all outgrow those socially-ingrained myths. Growing up is very complex. It takes a lifetime (or more) to achieve these self-perfections and ideals to any reasonable satisfaction. Certainly there were some wonderful changes which took place (some wonderful only in hindsight once I outgrew that difficult period) between 27 and 30. Now in my mid- forties and closer to my goals, I find it remains necessary to continue working on my self- improvement. There is a moral in this. We never stop growing up. Those who are in their senior years and who live with wisdom will attest that they continue to meet lessons which push and stretch their lives into growthful experiences. I am not about to claim that I have arrived at (or even near) perfection. I have gained some very useful skills in my twenty years of spiritual study. A great many of these skills come from my working knowledge of astrology. Astrology can be learned easily, if it is taught simply. I believe deeply in painless astrology! With your chart in your hand and this book, you will be able to understand and use astrology to help you with your life.
