Introduction to the Basics Principles of Evolutionary Astrology
Evolutionary Astrology integrates metaphysics and modern psychology, and in light of that fusion, it reframes conventional astrology. Freedom and choice dominate the system. In consideration of reincarnation, every planet and point in the chart represents a pre-existing dilemma, far other than that dilemma. In practice, Evolutionary Astrology depends upon the dynamics interaction of two simultaneous perspectives. First, we learn to read “the chart behind the chart,” to grasp the predicament of the soul based on unresolved prior-life experiences. Second, we use a more familiar astro-psychological approach in order to understand the present personality, but we interpret its dramas as a tool, which the soul is using in order to achieve its higher evolutionary aims. As we take our conventional delineations into the evolutionary context, we move beyond “descriptions” into “prescription.”
Steven Forrest is the esteemed author of many astrology bestsellers, including “The Inner Sky,” “The Changing Sky,” “The Book of Pluto” and, with his wife, Jodie, “Skymates I: Love, Sex & Evolutionary Astrology” and “Skymates II: The Composite Chart.” With Jeffrey Wolf Green, he co-authored “Measuring the Night, Volumes I & II.” He is also Chair of the Kepler College Advisory Counsel and a founding member of the Ethics Committee of ISAR. In 2008, he published “Yesterday’s Sky: Astrology & Reincarnation,” which will be available at the conference.
