10 Songs for Astrologers | I love music and I love astrology so I thought whilst the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all snuggling together in Libra, I would post a light and airy piece on songs for astrologers. 1) Starwalker by Buffy Saint Marie 2) Stars by Beth Quist This track is on the album ‘Silver’ which has an overall cosmic feel to it. A lady with a stunning vocal range, Beth’s music is both inspirational and healing. You can even listen to the album for free at Magnatune! 3) Rocket Man by David Fonseca Ok, so slightly tenuous link but I had to get my fabulous Portuguese singer in somewhere! 4 )Hello Earth by Kate Bush Of course you could always pick ‘Constellation of the Heart’ by the lovely Kate. 5) Venus by Bananarama Wonderful 80′s pop and a humorous dive to the fluffy side of Venus. 6) Jupiter and Teardrop by Grant Lee Buffalo I’ve never quite worked out what he means by this line but it mentions Jupiter and it’s a lovely song. 8) Venus as a Boy by Bjork This had to make it to the list.
Giordano Bruno | Classical Astrologer Weblog. Below is a twelfth-century Arab painting showing the Seven Sacred Planets w/ attributes. The Mansions of the Moon are shown on the blue outer wheel. Please refer to this before reading Bruno if you’re not quite sure what a Lunar mansion is. Bruno’s own approach is visually evocative and cannot be grasped using linear logic. These are visual riddles to be solved. 1st Lunar Mansion begins with: Aries 0° 0′ 0″ An Ethiopian seated on a iron bench, wearing a rope girdle and hurling a dart. 2nd Lunar Mansion begins with: Aries 12° 51′ 27″ A king on a throne, holding up a sceptre; a man lying before him, prostrate on the earth. 3rd Lunar Mansion begins with: Aries 25° 42′ 53″ A fully clad woman, seated on an armchair, her right hand lifted over her head; twisting her left hand through her hair like a madwoman. 4th Lunar Mansion begins with: Taurus 8° 34′ 18″ A soldier seated on a horse, holding a serpent in his right hand and grasping a black dog with his left.

Dane Rudhyar (March 23, 1895, in Paris – September 13, 1985, in San Francisco), born Daniel Chennevière,[1] was an author, modernist composer and humanistic astrologer. He was the pioneer of modern transpersonal astrology. Biography[edit] Dane Rudhyar was born in Paris on March 23, 1895. At the age of 12, a severe illness and surgery disabled him, and he turned to music and intellectual development to compensate for his lack of physical agility.
He studied at the Sorbonne, University of Paris (graduating at the age of 16), and at the Paris Conservatoire. His early ventures into philosophy and his association with the artistic community in Paris led to his conviction that all existence is cyclical in character. In November 1916, Rudhyar's music brought him to New York City,[1] where his orchestral arrangements and original compositions were performed on April 4, 1917 at a performance of Métachorie[3] by the New York Metropolitan Opera.

How to Evaluate and Solve Emotional Problems by Dane Rudhyar | Rudhyar Archival Project | Astrological Articles. In the article entitled Find Yourself in Your Horoscope, published in the September issue of this magazine, I stated what I regard as the fundamental principles of a constructive, spiritually valid and growth-stimulating approach toward astrology, especially toward the study of the birth-chart of an individual person.
I described the birth-chart — any birth-chart — as Life's plan for a successful process of individualization of the human spirit. This individualization of the spirit in the person is expressed in potentiality in the act of the first breath of the newborn — thus, in the birth-chart. It is actually made manifest in and through the individual's responses to a series of basic life experiences and especially to various crises of personal growth indicated in progressions and transits. By responding successfully to the challenges inherent in the crises of growth, the spirit of the individual becomes progressively more fully active and "incorporated".
Marc Edmund Jones. Dr. Marc Edmund Jones (October 1, 1888–March 5, 1980, age 91) was an American writer, screenwriter and astrologer. Early life[edit] Born October 1, 1888, 8:37 a.m. CST in St. Louis, Missouri, as a child Marc Edmund Jones was interested in complex patterns observable in the environment, and he gradually developed a distinctive personal system of thought that later produced notable perspectives on occultism and the cabalistic world-view in general.
He grew up in Chicago in the social framework of a rather formal, late Victorian parental style. Other early influences were the Christian Science neighbors who moved next door and an aunt who introduced him to theosophy. Work[edit] Marc Jones has been called the dean of American astrology,[who?] He developed the seven categories of horoscopic patterns or distributions of the astrological planets around the zodiac, which are called the Splay, Splash, Bundle, Bowl, Locomotive, Bucket, and Seesaw shapes or patterns.
