Reseña del editor

Unsuspected by the world at large, astrology uses a model that ignores the stars. Many who practice it do not know that there is a lost, star-based zodiac, entirely distinct from the well-known circle of twelve sun signs. Although not wrong on its own terms - the popular sun sign profiles do work- astrology it is wrongly defined as "the language of the stars." Quest for the Zodiac corrects this error and recovers the visible star patterns observed in ancient times. The distinction between sign stereotypes and the real-sky constellations is astounding and revolutionary. The mythic images of the constellations, not the signs, present a new approach to the age-old question: What is destiny? In the code language of the constellations, myths and archtypal themes reflect the long-term experience of humanity. In the author's formulation, the star zodiac is a visionary tool for detecting the way each individual can advance on the learning curve of the human species. In effect, we each have a second horoscope, but its message is transpersonal, not ego-centered. Sun sign astrology examines and elucidates personality, but with the star zodiac we discover the innate genius of the person. Quest for the Zodiac proposes a new method of interpreting life-patterns. It breaks the 2000-year-old monopoly astrology holds on the interactivity of psyche and cosmos. This is the future of astrology, and the astrology of the future.

Reseña del editor

Interest in astrology has been universal through the ages, but for 2000 years its link with the realm of the visible stars has been lost. Unknown to the public at large, an unresolved debate divides astrologers into two camps, neither of whom observe the skies. Quest for the Zodiac exposes this bizarre situation and reveals the eloquent design of the true Stellar Zodiac, based on the visible constellations. Conventional astrology uses a Sign-based format which ignores the real sky panorama. Signs are invisible and abstract, like time-zones on a world map with the world removed, but the constellations are observable star-patterns which have been associated with rich mythological lore in all cultures through the ages. What happens when the ordinary horoscope is transported into the graphic format of the Stellar Zodiac? Human fate is realigned to the stars and astrology gains a new look, even a new dimension. The recovery of the real-sky Zodiac has immense ramifications for both sides of the argument over astrology. By upgrading inherited star-wisdom, this book enables us to reassess the age-old dilemmas of destiny and spiritual guidance. It combines genetics and mythology in a startling new vision of human potential. The vivid format of Star Base, applied in the Starchild Cycle, locates each individual on the learning curve of our species. Thus we all can claim a special endowment that comes by transpersonal inheritance from the Genius of humanity. Rather than converting anyone to astrology, Quest for the Zodiac will convert astrology itself. It changes the game and introduces a genuine alternative astrology. Going beyond the horoscope, it breaks a 2000-year-old monopoly on our view of the cosmos as a mirror of human experience. Sun Sign astrology is not proven wrong on its own terms, but it is wrongly defined as 'the language of the stars'. This book corrects this bias and reinstates the cosmic code envisioned by the Ancients.
