Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dane Rudhyar's Astrological Mandala is invaluable not only for the student of astrology but for every person seriously interested in symbols as a medium for achieving the kind of transformation necessary to bring about the 'new age.' That this book is primarily practical as well as informative only underlines the real significance of this most unusual gift from a man rare in any age."

-- Jose A. Arguelles, Director, Shambhala-Tollan Foundation, and author of The Transformative Vision and Mandala. -- Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the Book. It is refreshing & splendid., February 28, 1999
By A Customer
Review: Dane Rudhyar: An Astrological Mandala: The Cycle of Transformations and its 360 Symbolic Phases.

Rudhyar's books are like Dane Rudhyar the man,- profound, universal and original- A true Renaissance man. His book is for every thinking person, who wants a guiding star to steer his life's course. Knowledge of astrology is irrelevant here, the casual reader can find much in Rudhyar's book, that will give clues and guidance in dealing with both, disturbing trends in society and anxieties in personal lives. Rudhyar has transformed the zodiac into a re-interpretation of the 'sabian symbols', giving each degree of the circle beginning with Aries 1', ending with Pisces 360', a profound significance that penetrates through the heart of the matter. The Mandala, not being static slowly reveals the "unfoldment of the personality not unlike Jung's process of individuation". Each degree has a mystical and significant interpretation, with exquisite imagery, that delve straight to the core of the problem providing an insight that rivals I Ching, e.g. "(Cancer 29') A Greek Muse weighing Newborn Twins in Golden Scales. Keynote: The Intuitive weighing of alternatives..." A clarifying explanation follows the keynote. These symbols can be a significant tool in the hands of an intuitive reader, who allows the detail of the symbolic image to speak for itself. It is in this potent use of imagery that Rudhyar has distinguished himself.

The book is divided into 4 lucid parts Each part unique and distinct from the whole with a wealth of knowledge and insight in each one. You can enjoy the book flipping through random pages or start from the beginning to the end, either way it will refresh and revitalize your thinking. It lifts astrology from the mundane and turns it into an esoteric philosophy that is completely credible. This book is not a frivolous treatment of planets and aspects. It is a mystical treatise, on the forces that propel or impel our lives and the author has a tenacious understanding of these forces that spin us around.

Buy the book. Read it leisurely at bedtime and savor Rudhyar. At the very least it will sharpen your mental acuity and creative visualization.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like the man, April 15, 2000
By giovanni gatti (Milano, Italia) - See all my reviews
I did not know the work of Dane Rudhyar. Now that I'm reading this book, I find him a true sage, and a friend. The human mind can be so vast that it can become also fraightful... But with books like this, our inner drive to find meanings in life is enhanced and encouraged.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astrological Mandala....Rules!, May 15, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book of Sabian Symbols has become one of my handiest, most used books. It is not for the faint-of-heart..not for the idle seeker. If you want transformational info, buy this book. Use it for more depth/layers for your natal (birth) chart, your progressed charts, solar returns, etc. Few charts escape its evaluations at my house !
