From AudioFile

Astrology to this author is a system of psychosocial forces that operate in all of us, to one degree or another, to shape our destinies. A Jungian scholar, Casey draws on a rich knowledge of myths and archetypes to paint fascinating personality portraits that are deeply textured and go well beyond the jargon of astrology and popular psychology. She encourages discovery and offers the language of astrology as a tool for self-learning, not self-labeling. Her deep, enthusiastic speaking voice is punctuated with charming sound effects she utters to illustrate her points. This practical lesson will resonate with every facet of the psyche and provide a stimulating listening experience. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful - but a repackaging of Inner & Outer Space, March 12, 2001

This review is from: Visionary Activist Astrology (Audio Cassette)

Caroline W. Casey's _Inner and Outer Space: The Astrological Lanugage of the Psyche_ has long been one of my favorite sources of Ms. Casey's visionary work. Any long drive is a wonderful excuse to bring these tapes out again! I was thrilled to think there was a new set of tapes now available. However, other than the publisher's voiceover saying these tapes are "Visionary Activist Astrology" rather than "Inner and Outer Space" these *are* the earlier tapes.

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting the earlier tapes, however, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Ms. Casey leads one through Peracelsus to Jung to Gurdieff and on to a highly original and beautifully-told interpretation of the astrological language as a tool for transformational change. Her stories about her own life, the planets, teaching stories of native peoples and great philosophers blend into a system for understanding the forces that shape our world. When speaking of the slow outer planets which shape the entire culture or the inner planets which vary greatly between individual charts, she illumines our lives and times.

Whether one chooses to believe in the influence of the stars, this down-to-earth relinking with a spiritual lineage of ancient times to the spiritual searcher today will please, educate and enchant.
