Star Poem: Astrology and the horoscope as poetic reality

By Herbert Mersenne

Four ground-breaking essays, revised and expanded from posts on the Astrologers' Forum. The Star Poem: how to express your horoscope as a poem re-examines the horoscope in linguistic terms, picking out nouns and verbs from the interactions of Planets, Signs and Houses, and suggesting ways to assemble these into a life parable for the Native. The examples given are J.R.R. Tolkien, Virginia Woolf and Albert Einstein. The Astrological Thesaurus. What Sign rules copper, carrots, capacitors, Cremona and Canada? Why is Saturn in Aries bone-headed? What is the horoscope of an electric circuit? In the Astrological Thesaurus 7,000 keywords have been categorised into expanding spheres of the Native's life, from the Native themselves, through their domestic, professional and social lives, to their culture and beyond. The Astrological Language. Is there a "true" language, one in which the name of the thing is somehow the thing itself? Do people have a "true name" intimately connected with their lives and identities? The Astrological Language examines and plays with these fascinating concepts. Answers to Common Objections. Here Mersenne politely trashes ten familiar attempts to disparage astrology!
