The New Astrology: The Art and Science of the Stars

The New Astrology is a masterly exploration of the myths, symbolism, history, beliefs, and current scientific thought surrounding the cosmos, from art and religion to quantum theory and cosmobiology. Myths and theories explaining the existence of the universe have embodied the deepest hopes and fears of cultures throughout the ages, and the profound meanings that mankind has attributed to the stars, constellations, and planets are all explored--their psychological and mystical characteristics, religious and mythical significance, and their astronomical basis. The authors also draw brilliant parallels among world views, from the creation myths of the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians to the most modern speculations of astronomers and physicists. And, for the first time, surprising new evidence is presented for real connections between our lives and the planetary cycles. Exquisitely illustrated with 225 photographs and works of art, The New Astrology will captivate all who seek a deeper understanding of our eternal bond with the heavens.
