The Astrology of Awakening: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Astrology of Awakening" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
* Instead of judging the various parts of the astrology system in terms of potential benefit, we can see all facets of the system for their evolutionary value.
* As we are souls having human experiences the transpersonal is emphasized. All of the planets are explored in terms of spiritual connection.
* Discussion on the ego -- how it may hinder spiritual realization, but ultimately serve as a vessel for it. We are creating a sacred marriage between our autonomy (ego) and Oneness.
* Review of the Patriarchal Value System which has dominated Western consciousness for millennia. How has it influenced astrology, and what can we do about it?
* Discussion of our tendency for viewing life dualistically and how that inhibits Oneness. We can partner the relativistic lower mind (Mercury), with the transpersonal mind (Uranus) and refresh our perceptions. A spiritual paradigm to complement the conventional is offered.
* Central in the new paradigm is how we understand the Sun itself. Instead of looking at it in purely self-oriented ways (personality, ego), our life energy and vitality is our spiritual essence. We are awakening to find that our energy connects us to all of life -- its not all about me.
* Integration with the worlds wisdom traditions, teachings from awakened masters, and The Perennial Philosophy.
* Thorough discussion of the evolution of consciousness: the various levels in how we approach astrology, and how astrology itself is developing through these levels.
* The Uranus/Pluto square, the astrology of 12/21/12, awakening in culture, Heliocentric Astrology, and much more!

A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. ~A lbert Einstein
It's as though we have two selves or two natures or two wills with two contrary viewpoints...your lower self sees you at the center of the universe, and your higher self sees you as a cell in the body of humanity. ~Peace Pilgrim
So it all comes down to a case of mistaken identitythinking that we are something other than the One. Of course, the only thing that can convince you that you are other than the One is thinking. ~Adyashanti
In astrology, the Sun symbolizes Spirit. The Sun is the source of life on Earth. All living organisms "lean" towards the Sun...Every soul is becoming the Sun. Every soul seeks to be life forc e itself.
~ Raymond Merriman

Introduction
In recent years, the terms awakening and spiritual awakening have proliferated in spiritual circles and also in the broader public lexicon. Theres a growing sense that we can all become clearer, more present, and more connected to ourselves and each other. Awakening involves the loosening of our identity as a separate self. Instead, we come to experience how we are intimately a part of life itself.
There has been considerable debate throughout recorded history as to whether awakening is a discreet, one-time event or a more gradual, ongoing process. The great Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi, addressed this issue by asking, When the Sun rises, does the darkness go gradually or all at once? His view that its a gradual process is the one that makes sense to me. In this book Ill be discussing awakening as the universal process of becoming more conscious, which unfolds progressively over time.
Awakening is a topic that is relevant for all of us since were all in the process of becoming more awake and present, whether we know it or not. The main purpose of this book is to place astrology within the context of this universal process. One of the strengths of astrology is the diversity of viewpoints, approaches, and even paradigms which inform our inquiry. This book aims to add to the great buffet table of ideas to consider. I want to spark discussion on the relationship between conscious ness and astrology, and to take a fresh look at some of the underlying assumptions we bring to the field. I invite you to join me in dialogue on the important questions and issues being raised.
You may wonder if Im qualified to address spiritual awakening at all. What I can tell you is that Im strongly engaged in my own process of awakeningperhaps just as you are. Im grateful to have access to wonderful teachers and teachings, and I see myself as a translator. Just as the psychological wave of astrology in the 20 th Century brought many new perspectives into astrology, our current time frame is ripe for importing more progressive understandings of spiritual growth.
