Book Description
Both retrograde planets and intercepted signs are included in this well-written, in-depth volume. Joanne defines how they differ and what they indicate in the chart. She also introduces new ideas about retrograde planets and intercepted signs, offering fresh insights for interpretation in these sometimes overlooked areas. Retrograde planets and intercepted signs make the chart unique, and each describes the powers and potentials waiting to be unleashed in your life. In some way you will stand apart from the crowd with an exceptional life that is outside the norm and as unique to you as your birth chart. Not everyone is born with such an outstanding opportunity to realize their individual potential. Included is extensive delineation of intercepted signs in the houses, the six sign polarities, the elements, duplicated signs, phases and planetary pairs. Chapters are also devoted to relocation charts, transits in intercepted signs, the importance of environment vs. destiny and various house systems. In addition to a thorough explanation of how planets retrograde, Joanne gives detailed interpretation of the meaning of retrograde planets in the natal chart and their position in the context of the eight stages of cyclic unfoldment, six of which fall into the retrograde zone. This placement specifically defines how a retrograde planet operates in your life. Also thoroughly explained is the meaning of retrograde planets in their transit cycle, and the significance of a retrograde progressed planet.

Book Description
This book is an introduction to Vibrational Astrology. The fundamental concepts of Vibrational Astrology have some overlap with the concepts in other systems of astrology, but also differ significantly from what students of astrology and professional astrologers may have learned in other astrological systems. Some of the topics covered in this book are: the way in which planets provide essential simple functions and what the function of each planet is, the effect of different astrological vibrations (harmonic aspects), the impact of planetary configurations such as Isotraps, the effect of zodiac signs, and the effect of astrological houses. This book provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of Vibrational Astrology. A careful reading of this provides the essential language and ideas that are used throughout all of the applications of Vibrational Astrology.

Book Description
Charley is an approximately annual publication edited by Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick, and designed by The Purtill Family Business. It is as visual as a magazine and as substantial as a book, but refuses to abide by either genre's rules. Following earlier editions on the 2001-2002 New York art season, on neglected artists from the 80s and early 90s, and on museum acquisitions, this new volume rounds up the stray dogs of contemporary art--Charley 5 features artists who have remained forgotten, proudly secluded or just unnoticed, in spite of their visionary work. Its galleries of obsessions mix professionals and amateurs, cult figures and unknowns, unheard prophets, voluntary outcasts and great solitary masters and freaks, celebrating the extreme subjectivity of more than 50 voices and implicitly questioning accepted hierarchies in the process. The editors have said of their recent work, "it's a way to say, look around...The latest issues of Charley are a lot about 'What ifs': what if there were many more artists than we actually speak about? What if our artist list was just partial and irrelevant?" Charley is sponsored by the Deste Foundation, Athens, Greece, which supports artist's projects, exhibitions, and symposia that explore the relationship between contemporary art and culture.

Book Description
In Archetypes of Astrology, author Ena Stanley blends the themes of planets, signs and houses with their ancient mythological origins in a way that provides a useful and interesting introduction to the basics of astrology for readers who have little or no prior experience with astrological techniques. At the same time, she offers an enriching and enjoyable reading experience for advanced students and professional astrologers, or for readers whose primary interest is mythology. In the opening chapter, involving the evolution of astrology into the modern day, the reader is drawn in with Stanley's explanation of the patriarchal matrix and the matriarchal matrix and how in modern astrology, both have been blended into a workable paradigm. From there she shares how she began to develop her sense of the twelve basic astrological archetypes through her studies of psychology and of astrology, in particular with Zipporah Dobyns, Ph.D. In the chapters that follow, each of twelve basic archetypes blend astrology with a wealth of imagery through stories of myths that are rich in metaphor, adding new dimensions to our understanding of the signs, houses and planets of basic astrology. The mythologies behind Sun, Moon and the seven planets are further augmented with the correlations of dwarf planet Ceres and asteroids Pallas, Juno and Vesta with the 6th and 7th archetypes. Additionally, as the author points out in her concluding chapter, the study of myths and archetypes takes us into a greater understanding of motivations and behavior-to the essence of counseling astrology.
