More About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

STEPHEN ARROYO's eight books have made him one of the best-selling authors of modern astrology books worldwide. Among his works are Astrology, Psychology & the Four Elements; Astrology, Karma & Transformation; Relationships and Life Cycles; Stephen Arroyo's Chart Interpretation Handbook, & Exploring Jupiter. His writings have elicited such tremendously enthusiastic response internationally that they have now been translated into 20 languages, and he has been awarded the British Astrological Association Astrology Prize, the Fraternity of Canadian Astrologers' International Sun Award, and United Astrology Congress's Regulus Award.

Arroyo's work spans the spectrum of modern, psychologically oriented astrology, supported by his many years of one-to-one counseling work (he holds a California Marriage, Family & Child Counseling license), and body- and energy-centered therapies such as Polarity Therapy. With a background in mathematics and the arts (an honors degree in literature from University of California), and a master's degree in psychology, Stephen Arroyo has developed a system in which the individual's experience is foremost, disregarding the fatalism and negativity of old-fashioned astrology. His writings are renowned for the reliable methods he has distilled for understanding astrological principles in relation to the human energy field, in a way that people of all cultures and backgrounds can easily relate to. As Library Journal stated, his work is particularly notable for his unique ability to express complex concepts in clear, simple language that the reader can identify with and apply in his or her own life.

In addition to numerous appearances in the USA, Arroyo has been a guest speaker or seminar leader in the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, and Switzerland. He has taught some of the first college courses on astrology in the USA, at four different schools.

Here is a sample of the reviews of Arroyo's latest book, PERSON-TO-PERSON ASTROLOGY:

"...A wise and wonderful book."--The Mountain Astrologer
"...one of the most comprehensive, explicit guides to the psychology of relationships.... Anyone interested in the astrology of relationships would be well advised to get this book before anything else."--Horoscope Magazine
"...shows how astrological knowledge can be a useful tool for those seeking more authentic ways of being....lucid and inspirational."--UK British Astrological Assn Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Aspiring professional astrologers - read this!, March 8, 2001
By 
Tim Burness (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practicing the Cosmic Science: Key Insights in Modern Astrology (Paperback)
To anyone seriously considering practicing astrology as a profession, even if only part-time, this book is essential reading. It is another example of the exceptional and inspired writing of Stephen Arroyo, who covers a very broad range of often neglected issues here. Many of them will be familiar to anyone who has practiced, or attempted to practice, astrology for a number of years, but for those starting out, the observations, insights and suggestions will be tremendously supportive.

Arroyo uses many excellent quotes from a vast range of sources to discuss astrology and its position in the modern world. Is it a science, a language, or a healing tool? What can it show you? Can it inspire you? Can it help you understand what other human beings and you yourself are going through in this life? What are the skills and qualifications necessary to be a good astrologer? How much should you charge? What kind of one to one connection can we make with other people? Do we have the necessary listening and communicating skills?

Since most of this book was written, I would suggest that in some ways things have got better for anyone attempting to practice intelligent and genuinely consciousness-raising astrology. Most obviously, an increasing percentage of Western society are now aware that real astrology is not about newspaper horoscopes. On the other hand, some changes in society are mixed blessings. As discussed in chapter 7, widespread use of computers by astrologers has cut out lots of tedious calculations, but the valuable period spent pondering the birth chart may be lost, thus possibly lowering the quality of interpretation. Similarly, although not anti-technology, Arroyo observes "there is a general degradation of standards in virtually every field that is widely promoted on the internet".

Overall, an absolute must if you are considering professional involvement.
