Every aspect of our lives, from the most easily recognizable--relationships, material success, health, security, work--to much more subtle and often seemingly fixed subjects, such as truth, wisdom, spirit, and natural laws, constantly flows through ever-changing patterns and cycles. So, if the universe is flexible and evolving, and if our understanding of it changes with each new theory or model, what is real? How can we guide ourselves through the seeming chaos of living? How do we find a center, or grounding, in the middle of it all? How can we experience this constancy of change from the exciting and positive position of choice instead of the often terrifying helplessness found in the maze of fate? In Choice Centered Relating and the Tarot, Fairfield provides easily identifiable examples of choice centered approaches to life experience. She quickly faces the fact that many events in our lives are beyond our control, or choice, and then leads us to the empowering realization that we can learn the art of conscious action and reaction. Our center of control is not outside--but within--and with deepening understanding and steady practice, we can learn to access this center and nurture its growth. From this choice centered orientation we learn how to frame relationship-related questions and interpret the guidance provided by the symbolism of the tarot. The book is filled with thought-provoking questions and guides to interpretation using a wide variety of sample layouts. Any of the excellent tarot decks currently available can be used to awaken this life-changing approach.

Soul-Centered Astrology is a groundbreaking sourcebook. Influenced by Theosophical philosophy, Alice Bailey, and the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, Alan Oken describes the evolutionary process of spiritual self-development with the twelve astrological signs and their soulcentered planetary rulers and the esoteric significance of the planets in the signs. The book features an elevation of the spiritual importance of the ascendant, the incarnational relevance of cardinal, fixed, and mutable crosses, and the correlation between astrology and the Seven Rays. Revealing the soul's path to inner enlightenment and outer fulfillment, it offers a complete course for the serious student of the stars that encompasses and goes beyond birth signs and natal charts. Geared to the student traversing a spiritual path, Alan Oken teaches the secrets of Esoteric Astrology that have been a focus of study for mystics and initiates throughout the ages.

Astrology is founded on the premise that the planets embody and exemplify archetypal concepts. The gods themselves, for whom the planets are named, were projections of human qualities onto deities. Each planet's perspective includes its moons or asteroid companions. Why should we study astrology from each planet's perspective? - To find direct expressions of each planet at your time of birth - To distance personal ego from the equation - To appreciate your own planet-centered charts - To discover clear choices/alternatives that have been there all your life - To become acquainted with energy allies for personal growth and spiritual understanding - To amplify your understanding of the diversity of planetary perspectives - To explore Unity of multiple energies entering your awareness With planet-centered alternatives you may adopt a transpersonal perspective and transcend the limitations of personal biases to embrace your greater potential.
