Review
Astrology can only deepen and grow when astrologers dare to explore new ways of working with astrology. Two well-known and creative astrologers share their experience and insights in this book in a thought-provoking way. -- Karen Hamaker-Zondag

In creative echo of one another in this book, their lectures together capture the core of what each of these celebrated astrologers stands for as teachers of our art, our philosophy, our practical discipline. Steven's holistic presentation about the Sun and Jeffrey's emblematic presentation on the planetary Nodes define the stature of this compendium: alone, these two talks would be well worth the price of all ten presentations! -- Noel Tyl

Product Description
Astrology, sacred psychology and reincarnation come together seamlessly in the hands of two of the world's premier metaphysical astrologers. Jeffrey Green's work "mirrors the eternal realities of the soul," according to the leading Danish astrology magazine STJERNERNE. Sting calls Steven Forrest's work "as intelligent and cogent as it is poetic." Based on the transcripts of a series of workshops that Green and Forrest gave together, this book pushes the ancient symbols of astrology to new heights of insight, lucidly and compellingly showing us how the soul's long history is reflected in the birthchart. Beneath the seeming randomness of life, there is a clear and meaningful order. MEASURING THE NIGHT provides the Rosetta Stone for unraveling it. The lecture format is warm, personal and informal, with lots of audience interaction. Forrest and Green team up to analyze the chart of a workshop participant volunteer, just as they would that of a client who had come for a reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Measuring the Night: Evolutionary Astrology Volume One, October 18, 2000

By A Customer

A feast for the mind and the soul! I learned more from it than any astrology book I've read in the past twenty years. Highly recommended! Forrest and Green are great astrologers and great teachers. Their different personalities make for a lively read, because the book's based on lectures they did seperately and together. I especially loved the part where they teamed up to analyze the same birthchart, but the whole book is so full of wisdom that any page can teach you something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Aren't Enough, July 23, 2001

By A Customer

These two books, Measuring the Night Vols. 1 and 2, are some of the best that astrology has to offer. They're great for beginners as well as experienced astrologers. Forrest's and Green's personalities and ideas shine through, and what ground-breaking ideas they are! Here are two people saying that WE are in charge of our destinies, that WE can make the choices that define our lives. Simple, but not simplistic: easy to read, hard to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking thought!, March 24, 2000

By	Rob Lehmann (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

As a student of astrology (of increasing seriousness over 25 years), I feel that in the last ten or so years there has been what can only be termed a renaissance in the art/craft/science. From a discipline that has lain dormant (if not moribund) for the last two hundred years (save for the handful of sacred practitioners who have kept it alive), there is now an explosion of new thought, new techniques, and new direction, the likes of which have never been seen. Just as the human condition is substantively different now from two hundred years ago, so too is there arising a new astrology to not simply address these changes, but to guide them.

MEASURING THE NIGHT is not only a chronicle, but a herald of this momentous new movement. I am long familiar with Steven Forrest's work as he has emerged as a thought-leader through his SKY trilogy and other works (notably, his BOOK OF PLUTO). Jeff Green is someone I know by his sterling reputation and whose work comes as a welcome addition to my studies.

Though this work is termed "evolutionary astrology", this adjective should not be confused with mere (mere!) Darwinism; "enlightened and mystical" rings closer to me. The year 2000 may be the BC/AD demarkation in the evolution from medieval to modern astrology and this book is surely the watershed event.
