In a world of ever increasing compartmentalized thinking and specialization, we need new models and tools for thought which can help us explore the deeper nature of reality and the underlying unity of the rational and the irrational, of conscious and unconscious, of cosmos and psyche. This book shows that, whilst ignored and derided because of its presumed illogical origins, the kind of astrology which helped Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus and Tycho Brahe formulate their cosmological theories can provide just such a remarkable tool for unified intellectual exploration. Embodying in its flexible yet systematic symbolic language both reason and imagination, astrology, as lucidly presented, shows itself to be an immensely powerful heuristic instrument, and a richly fertile symbolic system for discovery across the spectrum of human endeavor. | |
