Book Description

March 11, 2009
Professional astrologer and Jungian psychotherapist, Elizabeth Spring, weaves personal stories with the astrological wisdom of the North and South Nodes. There are detailed explanations of how to find and understand your own karmic Nodes as well as the life-changing transits that impact your life direction, soul purpose, career and relationships. Elizabeth’s heart-felt chapter on the "Astrology of Menopause" has been re-published around the world, and the humorous chapter "Cocktails and Karma" explores the bridging between astrologers, ministers, and therapists. The “ Family Karmic Inheritance” inspires a compassionate view on family relationships. Endorsed by Jungian author Jim Hollis, and evolutionary astrologer, Steven Forrest, this book is a reference book as well as a collection of articles that shed light on unconscious motivation. An inspiring guide for transmuting the grace and grit of life into the gold of healing and personal success.

More About the Author

Elizabeth Spring, M.A. has a degree in psychology with an emphasis in the work of Carl Jung. She is an astrologer, psychotherapist, and writer living in Wickford, R.I. She was also a potter for many years, working with her husband at Spring Pottery in Newport, R.I.

Elizabeth began her astrological studies in Boston in 1969 with Isabel Hickey and continued her studies with astrologers Steven Forrest, Liz Greene, and Alice Howell. She has been a professional astrologer since 1992 and teaches periodically at the Boston Jung Institute. Her astrology blends Jungian psychology with reincarnational astrology, and her focus is on the hidden message of the North and South Nodes, and the powerful influence of Saturn and the Saturn Returns. In her phone readings, she also emphasizes the "current weather forecast" of the transits and progressions to help clients find focus and reveal the current life patterns and possible solutions.

"When an inner situation is not made conscious,
it happens outside as fate." Carl Jung

My passion for depth astrology began when I first read this quote from Jung. My book, "North Node Astrology; Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose" is a conversational heartfelt book on navigating life's passages, and is written for non-astrologers as well as those familiar with this "language of the soul." Author and analyst, James Hollis, endorsed the book, saying: "Elizabeth provides a rare combination of psychological insight with the metaphors of astrology to illumine the invisible worlds." Contact: www.elizabethspring.com or elizabethspring@aol.com
"Saturn Returns~The Private Papers of a Reluctant Astrologer" was inspired by my life story as a professional astrologer and by questioning the power of predictive astrology--both positive and negative--as well as the unpredictable and potent influence of Saturn in the chart.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful contribution by Elizabeth Spring, April 5, 2009
This review is from: North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose (Paperback)
A couple of years back, I happened onto a blog created by astrologer and Jungian therapist, Elizabeth Spring. I was so taken by her wise, insightful, and heartfelt writing that I sent her a fan letter and have followed the evolution of her work since. She has recently published an excellent book, North Node Astrology: Rediscovering your Life Direction and Soul Purpose. It's clear, readable, and personable for students at any level of astrology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A changed perpective., November 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose (Paperback)
There are a lot of things about this book that I like. She maintains a good pace and answers back to astrological debunkers, but the main thing that is appealing is her extremely clear presentation of the material. She is able to present astrology in a way that clearly reflects the subjects deep philosophical roots. Her inclusion of Jung is exactly what karmic astrology needs because it reflects the amount of thought that does go into esoteric astrology.

The title of this book is a little misleading. The actual descriptions of the nodes does not begin until page 165. Chapters 4-9 are actually entirely on the outer planets. The chapters, in my opinion, are worth reading, but they don't actually talk entirely about the nodes. You basically have to figure out what happens if one of the outer planets conjuncts or aspects a node because this book doesn't explain that in any detail. I agree with one of the other comments; the book is slightly off topic at times.

My orignal review was that the book was fair. I have since changed my opinion after reflecting on my north node for several months. I was uncomfortable with this type of astrology because it seemed damaging to tell people to avoid certain behaviors. After much consideration, I have found that I actually have much more affinity with my North Node than I do with my South Node. I would honestly say that of all astrology books, this book in the long run changed my life the most. I stopped doing my South Node and it wasn't painful once I recognized that I didn't want the behaviors in the first place. This is a great author. She has a lot to contribute.

5.0 out of 5 stars Significant Writing on the Nodes, March 14, 2009
By 
Amelia Shea (Peterborough, NH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose (Paperback)
It's rare to find a book that evolves the existing knowledge of the Nodes. Elizabeth Spring has done this and done it brilliantly. She has a profound understanding of the Nodes by house and sign placement and how they influence destiny, karma and family dynamics. To explain her ideas she draws on her extensive experience as a Jungian therapist who integrates astrology into her practice. She is a gifted writer who makes the information easy to access. It's rare to find a book on the Nodes that is profound and groundbreaking. Elizabeth Spring has done this and done it well.
