How to Understand and Interpret Your Own Birth Chart: A Workbook for Personal Transformation

Astrology for Yourself

This book shows how the discovery of the asteroids Ceres, Pallas Athena, Juno, and Vesta coincided with the shift of a woman. The creating, supporting, nurturing aspect held by the goddess Ceres, the universal mother, brings us to how we feel nurtured and how we function with our roles of mother-child. She embodies the principle of unconditional love. Pallas Athena is our Warrior Goddess, a woman in a man's world, carrying the principle of creative intelligence. Vesta, our goddess of Focus and Commitment, is our High Priestess. Juno, the Queen of Heaven and Divine Consort, is our capacity for meaningful relationships. Understanding the themes that each goddess holds enriches our understanding of that function and expression in our lives.

The Mythology, Psychology, and Astrology of the Re-Emerging Feminine

Asteroid Goddesses

Exploring the mystery, wisdom, and power of the dark phase of the moon's cycle--a lunar-based model for moving through the dark times in our lives with understanding, consciousness, and faith in renewal. The moon's dark phase has traditionally been a time of fear and superstition, a time associated with death and isolation. The mythical embodiment of these fears is the Dark Goddess. Known around the world by many names--Lilith, Kali, Hecate, and Morgana--the archetypal Dark Goddess represents death, sexuality, and the unconscious--the little understood, often feared aspects of life. Demetra George combines psychological, mythical, and spiritual perspective on the shadowy, feminine symbolism of the dark moon to reclaim the darkness from oppressive, fear-based images. George offers rites for rebirth and transformation that teach us to tap into the power of our dark times, maximizing the potential for renewal inherent in our inevitable periods of loss, depression, and anger.

Finding Our Way Through the Dark

Explorando o mistério, a sabedoria e o poder dos mitos femininos ligados à face escura do ciclo lunar, Demetra George apresenta em Mistérios da Lua Negra um estudo completo sobre o tema para atravessar as épocas difíceis em nossa vida com compreensão, consciência e fé na renovação, no qual propõe a cura dos arquétipos ligados ao Feminino sombrio, que foram demonizados e excluídos pela cultura machista do patriarcado. A autora combina as perspectivas psicológica, mítica e espiritual com o simbolismo obscuro e feminino da Lua Negra e resgata os poderes ocultos na escuridão das imagens baseadas em representações opressivas e no medo. Também oferece ritos para cura, renascimento e transformação para os inevitáveis períodos de perda, depressão e raiva.
