I'd expect it to be of high quality, written as it is by Mr Rudhyar! Thanks for the recommendation. <br /><br />I haven't yet been able to get a firm handle on Sabian symbols - I see them as akin to looking at something on a computer screen divided into the tiniest pixels - a method which could be useful and helpful in some endeavours, but needs a particular kind of mind and approach to astrology.<br /><br />It does sound as though the author of this book has decided to "stand back" and see the pixels forming patterns - which is definitely more easily acceptable for my way of seeing astrology.<br /><br />If I ever get the chance to acquire the book at a reasonable price, I shall snap it up! :-)<br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-89515127303147366342013-07-30T04:37:47.763-05:002013-07-30T04:37:47.763-05:00There's an interesting book I discovered some ...There's an interesting book I discovered some years ago, and maybe you know of it.....its an esoteric book of astology and the symbolism in it is rich with symbolism...it gets into the varying degrees and symbolic transformations from one degree to the other of the astrological "mandala", and all of the muli-fold sequences contained in the 360 degrees of the full circle....i.e. the astrological mandala.<br />You'll definitely recognize the author.<br />Check it out when you have time.<br />Here's a cool link <a href="http://www.douban.com/note/128991460/" rel="nofollow">here</a><br /><br />and here's the book itself ,<a href="http://www.amazon.com/An-Astrological-Mandala-Transformations-Symbolic/dp/0394719921" rel="nofollow">here</a>DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404195170822950372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-87179488349381899192013-07-29T10:58:57.861-05:002013-07-29T10:58:57.861-05:00DC ~ It's odd isn't it?

The Eagle as the "better" side of Scorpio is the only winged zodiac critter, but it's not the traditional Scorpio mascot. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-19704376959379694312013-07-29T10:56:12.187-05:002013-07-29T10:56:12.187-05:00 Thanks, Sonny - we had a super time!
