For centuries, spiritual seekers have turned to astrology to discover humans' deepest connections with the Earth and the cosmos. But too often, astrology devolves into meaningless clich's or impersonal newspaper horoscopes. In the early part of this century Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar liberated astrology from the fatalistic approach of the medieval world. They took power from the high-and-mighty archaic planet gods, and offered it back to human beings. Here, at the end of the century, Inside Planets goes further, invoking each planet as a mighty full-bodied organism with a character and a soul of its own, a living breathing force with passion and humor and purpose that changes as it moves through the houses and signs. Each planet grabs you by the imagination and drags you to the campfire of The Greatest Story Even Told. Far more than an astrology guide, this book resuscitates from the ancient mystery temples of Atlantis an elegant and inspiring pantheon of wonder, terror, and creative solution to the problems that plague the soul.

DEEPwater Interpretations/Visions/Channelings,
By Equanimous (Hawaii / SF) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Planets (Anside Planets) (Paperback)
DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS BOOK OR INSIDE DEGREEES! IF YOU ARE ANY SORT OF ASTROLOGY ENTHUSIAST YOU WILL REAP TREMENDOUS VALUE FROM THIS BOOK!
Interpretations are based on planets in signs and planets in houses. Asteroids are also interpreted here. These are NOT your standard run-of-the-mill astrology archetypal reviews or summations nor are they lengthy essays or doctrines. What they are are pure tapestries of certain portions of human experience, elucidated upon with such naked magic and visionary bluntness that I finish the section feeling totally astounded! Very 'right-brain' you could say...very intuitive. But very leftbrain as well, forcing us to become a bit more analytical about our situations. I have reduced my astrology book collection down to just a few books, and this is one of them.

An excellent addition to any advanced astrological study,
By Jean Alkire (Morgan Hill, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Planets (Anside Planets) (Paperback)
I am a professional astrologer and student of astrology. I have been learning from this book for many years. It offers an interpretation of planets, signs and house that is both original and profound. I only use it occasionally for "ordinary" readings. But for myself, and a small circle of people who might be open to a more expanded ("cosmic" if you will) view of things, this can be invaluable for understanding the themes at work in a lifetime. If you like this, consider Lonsdale's "Inside Degrees" as well.

Insightful book,

This review is from: Inside Planets (Anside Planets) (Paperback)
This book is not a usual book about astrology. Goes far deeper than that. It needs to be read with mindfulness and secrets will be revealed. Those secrets are the colors of our character that we usually ignore in our quest to find something else. The book is written in such a loving way that we gain invaluable insight which enables us to embrace every facet of us and others with more understanding and compassion.
