In his usual insightful manner Ray Grasse shows how the profound symbolism of the signs and planetary forces in astrology synchronistically link up to newsworthy events. What I found especially fascinating is his conveyance of the transition from the Piscean to Aquarian Age through cinema. It's a fresh and fun approach to symbolism and the astrological language. This book is every bit as good as his previous one,"The Waking Dream". Even non-astrologers can derive benefit from it.

This volume is a continuation of the author's work on the symbolist worldview. To the symbolist, there is inherent meaning to the cosmos. This meaning exists on many levels in an intricately interconnected web of correspondences. In this book, the great meaningful and predictable cycles of time are examined in light of astrology, synchronicity, and mythology. These tools are shown to provide the keys for connecting the cosmic to the contemporary.

Once one verifies the validity of the symbolist view for one's self (and synchronistic verification starts to present itself to your conscious mind) one never sees the world in the same way again. For instance, current events such as Mars historic proximity, wars and blood shed in the Near East, and the break up of a space shuttle over Texas all start to fall into a meaningful pattern.

The common thread through this book is the nature of the dawning Aquarian age. It is pointed out that there are both positive and negative aspects to Aquarian energies- and it is as yet far from certain as to which will prevail.

This book is a worthy successor to the author's The Waking Dream.
