The
New Astrology
The Art and Science of the Stars
by Nicholas Campion and Steve Eddy
The New Astrology
written by veteran astrologers, Nicholas Campion and Steve Eddy, is
a masterly exploration of the myth, symbolism, history, belief and
current scientific theory surrounding the cosmos. The profound
meanings humanity has attributed to the stars, constellations and
planets since earliest times are examined, including their
psychological and mystical attributions, the rituals and festivals
associated with the heavenly bodies, their mythical and religious
significance and their astronomical status, while new evidence for
real connections between our Lives and planetary cycles is collected
together here for the first time. Myths and theories explaining the
existence of the universe have embodied the deepest hopes and fears
of cultures throughout the ages, and this exciting and wide-ranging
study will fascinate anyone who wishes to develop a deeper
understanding of our complex, multi-faceted bond with the heavens,
throughout ages and across cultures.
"[The New Astrology] is a masterpiece of synthesis, bringing together the
latest perspective and discoveries of astronomical science, and the
most ancient star lore collected from several different cultures. It
deserves a place on the shelf of anyone interested in astrology."
Melanie
Reinhart, The Astrological Journal, Vol. 42 no 1,
Jan/Feb 2000
"[The New Astrology] is a beautifully designed, visually exciting reference
book. The kind you put on your bookshelf and take down for the
pleasure of thumbing through."
Helen Jacobus, Astrology Quarterly Vol. 70 no 1,
Winter 1999/2000
"The book is a feast for the eyes and a pleasure for the mind, and
would make a beautiful gift anyone would love to receive,
non-astrologers included."
The International Astrologer, vol. 29 no 1, Spring 2000.
