ASTROLOGY

1. Jane Hoskinson My first teacher 1969, who somehow, taught me how to use the Moon and Ascendant in a really novel way…a technique that has never failed me.  She also introduced me to Rudhyar.
2. Dane Rudhyar  reading all his books was the foundation for my astrological life.
3. Tony Joseph influenced my early integration of the mythic realms.
4. Richard Tarnas for his comprehensive archetypal world view, and building on the foundation of Rudhyar.
5. Liz Green Her early works influenced my integration of Jungian concepts. I also loved her iconoclastic attitude towards new age astrology.
6. Zip Dobyns her sign/house alphabet of life understanding
7. Cyril Fagan  informing me of the original sidereal zodiacs
8. B.Yeats His book A Vision
9. Robert Hand   particularly for his work on precession, and, most of all, introducing us to the Whole Sign House System.
10. Alice Bailey Her book Esoteric Astrology in some ways presaging Shamanic Astrology by training us to reject traditional astrological dogma  and The Labors of Hercules, an alternate and immensely complimentary view of the constellations adjacent to the Zodiac.
11. Elisabeth Vreede for her book Anthroposophy and Astrology which also presages Shamanic Astrology in a number of ways. Written in the 1920’s it elucidates the need for using two zodiacs and to name the constellations with different names than the signs.
12. Demetra George for her work on myth, asteroid Goddesses, and the Sacred Feminine
13. Geoffery Cornelius  on divination, and showing us why astrology can’t be about prediction.
14. Edwin Steinbrecher for spiritual and archetypal contributions
15. Charles Ponce for his remarkable essay: “The Nightmare of Astrology”.
