Covers the basics of astrology including planets, signs, houses and aspects. This title shows how they reflect the rich complexity of life. It teaches the reader how to be fluent in the language of astrology, rather than merely following rote methods of interpretation.

Follow master astrologer Steven Forrest on an astrological journey into the realm of both darkness and the powers that can transform it: the planetary body Pluto. Whether officially named a planet or not, astrologers everywhere agree that Pluto is a major force. With this groundbreaking work, Steven emerged as one of the foremost voices merging astrological practice with the most courageous forms of humanistic psychology. Upon its initial publication, DELL Horoscope magazine described him as not only a premier astrologer, but also a wise man. Written with both the astrologer and the layperson in mind, his words convey practical and useful information that will help anyone navigate Pluto's labyrinthine passages. Along with detailed cookbook-style explanations of Pluto in the houses and signs, the reader will also find comprehensive information for working with transits and progressions. This book is your one-stop shop for all things Plutonian. But most of all, it's a beacon of light in some famously dark terrain, pointing the reader towards the transformative gifts Pluto can bear, if we choose to face our lives with consciousness and compassion. This revised second edition includes new Introduction and Afterword.

In The Book of Water, award-winning astrologer Steven Forrest completes his epochal investigation of the four astrological elements. In this fourth volume of the series, he focuses on how people bounce back from hurt and tragedy. In the opening pages, he invokes the haunting image of an old woman dancing on a moonlit beach. He writes, Every line on the dancer's face tells a story. Many of those stories are sad ones . . . and yet we are confronted with an inexplicable miracle: the old woman still dances. Of all of life's mysteries, is there a deeper one? Not that terrible things happen, but that we dance anyway. That we can recover. That spirit regenerates . . . Finding our way back to that dancer is what this book is about. Let's meet the good medicine of the Water signs - the guardians of the sacred mysteries of healing, regeneration, and recovery.

In these pages, Forrest offers a detailed exploration of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, along with their planetary rulers and their associated astrological houses: the fourth, the eighth, and the twelfth. Together, these powerful words in astrology's magical vocabulary are the key to returning to joy and wholeness no matter what life throws at us.

In The Book of Air, award-winning astrologer Steven Forrest continues his
investigation of the four elements which began with The Book of Fire and The
Book of Earth. In this third volume of the series, he focuses on what seems to be a
very simple idea: the fine art of truly paying attention. He writes, Air is what
connects our hearts and our minds to the world around us. Astrologically - but
also in plain speech - it is the linking element, telegraphing an endless stream of
information to us - and letting us send a few telegrams in return. Air makes a
mockery of the delusion that we are separate from each other - or, for that matter,
from anything else. Air connects. It is what allows us to pay attention, and perhaps
to create some good reasons for other people to pay attention to us.

In these pages, Forrest offers a detailed exploration of Gemini, Libra, and
Aquarius, along with their planetary rulers and their associated astrological
houses: the third, the seventh, and the eleventh. Together, these powerful words in
astrology's magical vocabulary are the key to nothing less than aligning your mind
with reality as it actually is.

In this sequel to his award-winning and critically acclaimed book on basic astrology, The Inner Sky, Steven Forrest presents a dynamic text on predictive astrology. Here you will find a brief review of the astrological basics (planets, houses, signs and aspects) and then the heart of the book:

Transits - the current positions of the planets in the sky compared to one's birth chart. Outer planets are discussed in terms of their Teacher or Trickster potentials. Also addressed is the cycle of the houses and the tasks represented by each.

Progressions - a day symbolically equated to a year in one's life. Thorough explanations of progressed Moon through the houses and signs, and changing angles (Midheaven and Ascendant) are presented.

And the Art of Synthesis - how to put it all together.

This practical guide to predictive astrology shows the reader how to make better life choices, with a focus on personal freedom and responsibility.

Humans have been meditating on the Moon since the beginning of our time on earth. As long as there has been anything we could call astrology, it has been central to all theories of celestial influence. But why do astrologers pay so little attention to its phases? In these pages, Steven Forrest, bestselling author of The Inner Sky, shows how we have been blinded to the lunar phases by a set of cultural attitudes now drifting into extinction. He demonstrates that our Celtic ancestors held the key to understanding lunar phase and he skillfully, clearly, and eloquently turns the key in that lock for us. Along the way, he also presents the latest research on the powerful but little used tools: the Out of Bounds Moon, lunar speed, and lunar parallax. You'll also find rare descriptions of the progressed lunation cycle, planetary phase angles and nodal phase. Discover the soul of the moon in this lucid explanation of the Moon's place in modern humanistic astrological counseling.

Neptune marks the border between the conventional planets and deep space. It is the window through which you peer into your own mystical vastness-and through which that luminous vastness peers back. This mysterious window has forever hypnotized humanity. Some of us-those who have truly cleaned the glass-are the precious mystics who light our paths. Others, flooded by imagery pouring up from the depths, are the treasured artists who inspire us. Legions more, overwhelmed by their own minds, have sought refuge, disappearing into whiskey bottles and video screens. In this powerful, practical book, best-selling astrologer Steven Forrest unveils a priceless secret buried in your own natal chart. As you come to understand Neptune's place in your life, a treasure map emerges-one that reveals your best pathway into higher states of consciousness, while warning you about delusions custom-designed to con you into squandering your own soul. Underlying every word is the core notion that everyone is different-that one-size-fits-all spiritual practices can only take us so far. In a nutshell, The Book of Neptune helps you clean the windowpane that stands between you and your own ultimate divinity.

In The Night Speaks, best-selling author Steven Forrest tackles the knotty question of how astrology works while illuminating the reasons, both rational and transcendent, that astrology has been the focus of his spiritual life.

In his own words, I love astrology passionately. Every day I see it helping people. But on the street, astrology is still mostly viewed as silliness. Anyone who 'believes in it' is taken for a fool. This inspired him to wonder if he could write a book an open-minded critic might read and be inspired to give astrology an hour to prove itself. Could he write one that his clients could confidently hand their skeptical friends? In other words, could he break through the monumental wall of prejudice and ignorance that has kept astrology trapped in its ghetto? He describes The Night Speaks, not as a How To Do Astrology book, but rather Why To.

Aims to give you all the tools you need to explore a powerful astrological technique. This title contains theory, real-life practical examples, and a 'cookbook' section, which helps you start your interpretations by looking up the meaning of any configuration. It seeks to prove that the whole is always greater than the sum of the parts.

Award-winning astrologer Steven Forrest offers a collection of seventy-two short, penetrating essays spanning two decades and soaring over the wide world of evolutionary astrology. What is the truth about Mercury retrograde? Are you doomed if you have a planet in detriment? Why did Vincent Van Gogh's chart still work long after he was dead and gone? Steven writes, I picture this book like an astrology friend - someone you met at a class or a conference a year or two ago. Maybe you get together for coffee every few months and talk about charts. Like those serendipitous, freewheeling conversations, you never know exactly where The Endless Sky is going to lead. As you explore these pages, magic happens: you find yourself escaping the pigeon-holing attitudes of conventional astrology and replacing them with the fresh air of freedom, choice, and imagination.

Astrologer, medium, and channel Tom Jacobs shares his unique approach to karmic astrology. His experiences as a medium working with the spirits of the dead and as a channel bringing through the wisdom of Ascended Masters have opened his view on astrology to begin his work with an analysis of the multi-life journey each soul is traveling. The result is a four step method to open and easily understand the karmic, multi-life journey of the soul behind any astrological birth chart. This work takes evolutionary astrology to the next level. Tom shares the method of analysis and almost two dozen examples from his client files and from the lives of well-known people to bring it to life.

Thankfully, a few months later, I got the best Christmas gift of all: my dad's life. I went up to Portland and visited him in the hospital. He was in the hospital for three months. He couldn't even talk or eat the first week in the hospital. My dad always tells me that when I first saw him in the hospital, I stood over him, grim faced, like I was an angel guarding him. I did not say a word. I just stood there. And though many people do not know this, while I was standing there, a tear rolled down my cheek and landed on the hospital blanket covering my dad's injured leg. Just one tear. I did not break into tears or sob; I just silently cried all my misery into one tear; one tear of healing, which I gave to my dad . . .
