Dane Rudhyar – författare

Lucid and inspiring material on the purpose and value of Astrology in New Age Guidance, and the difference between an event-oriented approach, and a person-centred view. Topics covered include: Event Oriented vs. Person Centred; Planetary Patterns; Aspect Patterns; Birth Charts as a Whole; Astrology in New Age Guidance; Astrology as Karma Yoga; Planetary & Lunar Nodes; The Moment of Interpretation. Sample horoscopes of well-known people, Assagioli, Freud, Nietzche and others illustrate clearly the techniques described. Two complete detailed case histories are given, enabling the reader to concretely experience Rudhyar's holistic approach in action. This book represents the harvest of Rudhyar's innovative astrological and philosophical thinking, practically applied to individual birth charts.

Rudhyar expands traditional Astrological philosophy by introducing a galactic view of the solar system. Contents include: A Galactic Approach to the Solar System; Planets of Organic Functioning; The Uranus-Neptune Polarity; Pluto and the Experience of Depth, Void, and Recentring; The Interpenetrating Cycles of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto; Transpersonal Relationships and the Galactic Community; etc.

This is Rudhyar's major philosophical and psychological work, the concentrated outcome of a lifetime concerned with the most basic problems of human existence and the meaning of radical social-cultural crisis mankind is experiencing. Rudhyar has been for years an apostle of world integration based on the interpretation of Eastern and Western concepts and attitudes to life. He sees emerging a global society, and through the world-wide interaction of all cultures, a new type of "planetary" consciousness which for the first time will reveal in its fullness the potential of man. The Planetarisation is essentially an act of faith in Man. Man as a microcosm of the universe. Man as a reality that transcends the physical organism, all localisms and nationalisms, and in whom spirit and matter can unite in a "Divine Marriage" productive of ever new and greater creative tomorrows.

A modern classic, as potent today as when first written in 1936. Rudhyar integrates modem concepts of psychology with elements of both Western and Oriental philosophies. He succeeds in presenting Astrology as a symbolic language by reformulating its basic concepts and focusing on viewing the chart as a whole.

This pioneering classic provides a new dimension in the use of Astrology as a powerful tool in understanding life patterns. "The Lunation Cycle" is a unique technical breakthrough revealing the significance of the cyclic relationship of the Sun and Moon as phases of a larger process. Rudhyar formulates and describes here for the fist time, the eight Soli Lunar types of personalities and the importance of the "New Moon Before Birth" and the "Progressed New Moon charts". Rudhyar's innovative presentation of the "Progressed Lunation Cycle" is an invaluable technique providing insight into how to use all life events in the actualisation of inner potentials. The meaning of specific events are viewed as an ordered series of Lunation phases, within the context of your whole life pattern, from birth to death. This is a practical and clear way to anticipate major turning points and transition periods and to understand our individual schedules of unfoldment. This groundbreaking book includes: The Sun and Moon as a Dynamic Pattern of Relationship; The Part of Fortune as an Index of Personality and Happiness; The Part of Fortune in the Houses and Zodiacal Signs; The Part of Spirit; The Planets in Relationship to the Lunation Cycle.
