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.

Healing from Depression

In the fall of 1996, author and counsellor Douglas Bloch suffered an adverse reaction to an antidepressant that plummeted him into a major depressive episode. For the next ten months, he was assailed by out-of-control anxiety attacks which alternated with dark, suicidal depressions. Each day felt like an eternity, as he struggled to stay alive in the face of overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and despair. In this book, Douglas shares his struggle with, and ultimate recovery from, a life-threatening depressive illness. He offers a 'survival plan for living in hell' that he adopted until the power of spirit, acting through a group of committed, loving people, brought about his recovery.
