Synopsis

Have you ever wondered where an idea, a trend, or a political thought process begins? Is it something totally new, or is it an idea that hearkens from the past? Georgia Stathis, an astrologer since 1977, specializes in looking at patterns that evolve over time. In her new book, Pushing through Time, she explores historical patterns of the outer planetary conjunctions known as the synodic cycles. Jupiter conjoins Saturn every 20 years, while slower cycles as the Saturn/Pluto conjunction conjoining every 33+ years are different than even longer conjunctions like the Uranus/Neptune conjunction takes 172+ years. Each pairing and the planets involved in that pairing help identify the delineation. For example, Saturn/Pluto can refer to the changing form (Saturn) of currency, wealth and values (Pluto). Uranus (the rebel and networkers) breaks through borders and boundaries melting them away when aligned with Neptune. As the faster of the two planets of each conjunction continues it s transit and always in relationship to the original conjunction, the industries or ideas associated with that synodic cycle births new ideas, overcoming obstacles, putting form into ideas that work, and explode onto the scene disseminating information as the cycle continues until the next return. Like the Sunflower that follows the light of the Sun then bows it s head to the earth to return the seeds, the synodic cycles do the same. Stathis ability of crossing platforms between the arts, economies, and business make this an interesting read for the astrologer interested in diving into material. Her earlier work, Business Astrology 101, briefly touched on this idea (and many others) and provided the platform for this very detailed research that took another 20 years!

Review

Thank you so much for this insightful rendition of the synodic cycles of the planets. There hasn t been anything really this excellent since Ruperti s Cycles of Becoming and Phases of the Moon by Busteed, Tiffany, and Wergin, both published in the 1970s. We all learn in different ways: this book addresses that by appealing on so many levels. Aside from the actual content, the layout and typography are gorgeous, illustratins are illuminating thus making it very easy to see the concepts. Georgia Stathis writes clearly and in such a way that the concepts, just seep into your mind apart from the type of understanding from just reading the words. This book is appropriate for astrologers of all experience levels and persuasions, from Traditional astrologers to those of the Evolutionary point of view. Definitely a book which will live and work for a long time into the next generation of astrologers and even the one beyond that actually. For the present time it will sit on my shelf in a handy place to be referred to again and again. --Maggie Meister

A new classic! --Scott Silvermann

Georgia Stathis demonstrates an exciting and practical use of the time honored Synodic cycle. Throughout, she weaves together historical events using themes based on planetary pairs. Subjects range from the environment to the Galactic center, from the development of banking and commerce to recent technological advances and include the history of currency, one of her specialties. In this book, we have old ideas applied in a new, thorough and well documented way. Stathis has done all the hard work for us, providing tables with dates for conjunctions of each pair of planets plus trigger dates filled in on the 8-phase template she uses. Pushing through Time is full of interpretation gems that can only come from years of experience. It is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it.
