This book looks at planetary retrogradation - the phenomenon of "wandering" planets. The book discusses and analyses the implications these planets may have on the human experience, dealing with each planet separately. Divided into three parts, it includes a brief history of retrograde, general attitudes towards the phenomenon and an overall discussion of retrogradation.
Drawing on classical myth, and the work of C. G. Jung and Joseph Campbell, the author examines Saturn's useful and developmental influence in our lives, and the manifestation of the astrological symbols in the individual and collective unconscious.
To date, there is no book dedicated to the subject of family patterns, the psychology of family dynamics and the family systems with respect to natal astrology. This book charts the movement from "collective" astrology - the charts of kings, leaders, countries and mundane events - towards a personal astrology of natal charts of individuals which has created a strange disassociation and alienation of the person from his or her environment and external influences, most particularly his or her participation in the family. This book will help a person glimpse him or herself as part of a whole, which will both amplify and annihilate his or her sense of individuality.
