One of the easier to read of Bailey's very heady works, but non the less, contains a vast amount of wisdom and wonderful keys to self unfoldment. Each sign of the Zodiac is explained and its true purpose in this lifetime revealed. A great inspirational book to carry in the briefcase or suitcase, to read before a walk on the beach or in the woods.

This book provides a mythical story about each of the 12 Labors of Hercules. Each labor corresponds to one of the astrological signs. There is a discussion about the symbolism of the myth after each one. Hercules represents each of us - a soul incarnate in matter, and the labors represent the difficulties and tests we encounter in the material world. It's fascinating to read the labor for the current month each month as we go through the astrological year.

Alice Bailey's books are somewhat difficult to read, but well worth it for the spiritual seeker. Her work has resonated with me as truth more deeply than anything I've ever read. It is highly mental material, and I can only read a few pages at a time. Any more than that gives me a headache.

This order should be cancelled. The owner emailed me about 3 days after the order and said they did not have the book. Not a good experience with this seller. Will most likely not use them again.
