Astrological Signs: The Pulse of Life

By Dane Rudhyar

Book Overview

Astrological Signs: The Pulse of Life is an explanation of basic astrological principles, which gives symbolic and personal meaning to the signs of the Zodiac. Each sign represents a state of human experience in which two basic forces are active. The force of Day symbolizes individual uniqueness and personality, while Night force represents the integration of personalities in society.

The study of the ancient symbolism of the Zodiac shows how these dynamics opposites constantly interpenetrate and transform our experience. This volume discusses each of the twelve signs of the Zodiac, to explain how human meaning and freedom develop from an appreciation of the pulsating rhythm of the forces of Day and Night.

An intelligent metaphysical statement of the human experience expressed through the poetry of the Zodiac. Humanistic and growth oriented, Rudhyar's book connects the 12 astrological symbols to seasonal rhythms.

Everywhere a dynamic and electrical dualism appears as the foundation upon which all reality stands."Astrology gives humans a pattern of order to which they can look to overcome the chaos of earthly life.The celestial realm is a "greater whole" to which humans can relate and achieve integration beyond fragmenation.Nothing is static, life is a process.Astrology is the study of cyclic processes.Rudhyar looks at what each sign means in its deeper philosophic and cosmic aspects.This book gets down to the philosophic foundations of astrology and shows how relevant it is to modern life.It's a must for a deeper understanding of astrology and the universe we live in.
