Renn Butler - The Archetypal Universe: Astrological Patterns in Human Culture, Thought, Emotion and Dreams

All Levels
Archetypal, Mythological

One of my top 3 favorite astrology books.

It reads like a beautiful, poetic index. If you've ever wondered what it means to have your moon square Mars, or what all the astrologers mean when they talk at length about the Jupiter-Venus conjunction, this is where to go for the full picture.

It's a well-organized breakdown of every planetary combination by their principles, character & themes, shadow qualities, archetypes & spirituality, nature & the arts, dream images & themes, and themes in deep self-exploration. It will take you so far beyond the cliché keywords into descriptive worlds that plant deep into your understanding of astrology as a whole.
