Book of the Moon, The

Steven Forrest

The Moon shocks us. We round a corner just after dark, and there it is, bright as a neon pumpkin. Weeks later, we glance overhead at lunch and it ambushes us again, looking like a pale ghost floating unexpectedly in the blue sky. The Sun may be brighter, but the Moon makes up the deficit by being mysterious, strange, and as full of surprises as a deck of cards. Humans have been meditating on the Moon since the beginning of out time on earth. For as long as there has been anything we could call astrology, it has been central to every theory of celestial influence. But why do astrologers pay so little attention to its phases?

In these pages, Steven Forrest, the bestselling author of 'The Inner Sky', presents his case that we have been blinded to them by a set of cultural attitudes now drifting into extinction. He demonstrates that our Celtic ancestors held the key to understanding lunar phases, and he skillfully, clearly, and eloquently turns the key in that lock for us in these pages. Along the way, he also presents the latest research on the powerful but little used Out of Bounds Moon, lunar speed, and lunar parallax, along with a lucind explanation of the Moon's place in modern humanistic astrological counseling.
